My GS is good, not brilliant. I was so relieved to find my gearbox worked well after reading of all the problems. Its so much better than my old GS up and down the box, finding neutral is so easy.
With a cool engine I can feel a bit of clutch drag when waiting at junctions and the engine fires up slower if you start in gear with the clutch in.

You should try a Jap bike - they're like a HOT knife through butter..........

Heat.
Yer probably right. And it's fuel to the (take this in the spirit that's it's meant ... 
) peepes that prefer the 1150's and argue that they don't like the whole LC 1200 package. It's a bit of a thoroughbred I think, and just doesn't seem to like trundling and bimbling about. It works when you thrash it, but doesn't work (well ... for me .. ) when I chill out and enjoy the scenery ....

Jolly good old chap, it's only taken a year.
According to the Nav V, that's over 25,000 gear changes.
