I came from a blackbird to a 1200TC and have rode a LC the blackbird would eat a 1200LC without going above 6k revs smooth as silk and would pull stronger than any GS in any gear hardly a pain to ride on the roads none of the GS range are fast unless you are coming from a FS1E yes they handle very well and pull well for a tractor but they are not fast
)I went to the Pyrennese with a group , one had a zzr1400 another a blackbird , they were not capable of keeping up with the LC , the big cruisers were fine on the big roads for the high speeds but apart from that that , unless , strangely they now both own a gs now. It's not about the stellar speeds , the smooth box , the bubble fairings , it's about a bike that gives you soul , a purpose to ride , and above all the priceless smile it puts on your face. I know as the two riders I spoke of now understand and would never go back , and also ride better and faster now . IMHO
on the correct roads , a well ridden GS is very very fast.
A supermoto would out handle any bike on a pass as its so light , you can also slide the rear end round to exit the corners faster ( backing it in if your not familiar with the action ) on a crusier its called ABS chatter or a skid lol.Rode down through Germany on the autobahns the GSs could not keep up with the ZZRs CBR etc when on the passes the super motos were leaving the GSs through the tight corners the GS is not a fast bike in a speed sense its a good all rounder if not one of the best that most riders can get more out of than a sports bike due to it been easier to ride but fast who you kidding.
Now I know why Guy Martin cant get his first TT win he should be riding a GS best drop him a email

And that is exactly how and why this sort of thing happens.

Same with group riding - testosterone and ego is a wonderful combination sometimes....
Not with all groups as some of us have the ability to ride fast and well without the need to show off.
I think if we're truthful with ourselves, most of us have a higher opinion of our own riding skills and ability levels than is actually the case.
My riding is bad and I am so slow I get moss growing on my chicken strips
I am most likely a decidedly average rider I should imagine. However, I am also quite comfortable with my sexuality and the size of my penis.
