Review of 850 GSA (two up) wanted

[grahn]

Please review the F850GSA 2 up, I have one would be sacred with the skinny front hoop 2 up leaning in corners at speed? Ok for a single persons weight but perhaps not for 2?

We are back after a fantastic few days away. Will post some pics and a brief review when I figure out how. Thanks all for the suggestions it was a great help.

I'm not the best person for this really, since I got back on bikes I've had a Bandit 600 to pass test. Then a 2004 F650GS thumper, a 2015 F800GS and now the 2021 850GSA. So used to the big slim front wheel with nothing much to compare it with. What I can say is that if anything, the extra weight of the GSA allied to the extra weight of a pillion does make the bike feel more planted and stable, if not at all dynamic.
Im also more of a tootling bimbler on a bike rather than a Rossi or Marquez type...

I'm well happy, as is Mrs M.
