As much as I like my GS........

I've a feeling I might like this more:

More road biased and I've no need for off road capability. I wonder if the gearbox works..................

 

[Packer]

The gearbox may even be good enough to use without a quick shifter

Looks a bit plain and dull though, doesn't it?

Not a bike I could imagine walking away from and glancing back over my shoulder at in pride.

Looks like a Yamaha Fazer to me.

If it was essentially a Multistrada with a stonking 4-cyl engine - then sure........... I'd be seriously tempted.

17" road wheels with 190 rear
150bhp+
Able to take reasonable panniers (MetalMules, Ardcases, Holans etc)

Telelever would be a bonus, but conventional forks would not be a deal-breaker.

But it has a chain! You can't tour on a bike with a chain.

Many have and still do

That's what I'm struggling with. I thought I'd finally said goodbye to chains.

Impossible!

 

[Wapping]

Impossible!

The impossible is dead easy.

...and yes, it's peeing down with rain.... And not a hint of PR4's (awesome in the wet, mate)

Drier on Monday...

Too frightened to go out on Sunday, I'd heard that fuel is impossible to find and with just a 17.50 litre tank I might be stuck in the wilderness forever.

 

[Titto]

Nice one wapping. I miss my gsxr sometimes even for long distances!!

This new bike though does look like a fazer thou, im a bit disappointed! But I was when I first saw the pics for the new gs. Now I love it!

 

[RJT_Berlin]

I like it......

 

[Col]

Can't they just use the existing GSA with that engine and be done with it. I'd buy one tomorrow
