Anyone we know?
We tried a GSA a few years ago when changing from a Honda ST1300, the overwhelming memory was just how bloody uncomfortable the seats were!
We bought an RT instead… and put Sargent seats on it.

Part 2
Back in Cape Town.
Met up with an old mate on another crew last night that I’d not seen for a decade .
Beers were drunk and small steaks consumed
Just opened the curtains to check the forecast
And confirmed
Nipping down for a light brek by the pool
Then off to meet Don for another rental .
After the dreadful seat on the 1250GSA I decided to go for something with more quality this time as mainly assembled by Loncin .
Only riding 100 miles up the coast to stay in a lovely fishing village .
Checked it out on our way in yesterday
Found out last night that they have a famous biker bar there called The Panty Bar so that’ll be first port of call tonight
Will post a few pics later .

Smells fishy to me.
The level of farmer fucking there will soon approach Zimbabwe levels. Hopefully Tesla boy can reverse otherwise another paradise turned into a shithole in less than a decade.
Rent a hog or Guzzi……….and a Glock 9mm!! lol

Steed for the trip . Brand new 900GSA, now assembled in Germany rather than China so let’s hope it’s reliable

I do like the look of the 900GSA, but I’m a design tart. I’d like to know how that rides Arsey.
I've just bought an OXO too (and the Nolan version) to try out. Very impressed with the finish on both. How are you finding the noise level with yours when riding?
Not as quiet as Neotec 3 but not bad
Pleasant day for a ride .
Picked up the bike from Don at Adventure Bike Rentals
Obligatory Table Mountain pic
Then made my way to Paternoster via the West Coast National Park
Very picturesque
Had lunch here
Then continued.
The last 10 miles was dirt road
Arriving in Paternoster

My room for the night . Not bad for £60 including brek
The bike ?
It’s ok .
Stand out feature is the motor . Very smooth and grunty. Prefer it to the 1250.
Great quick shifter . Much smoother than the Gear Shift Assist Prod on the 1250.
Nice compliant suspension in both Road and Dynamic .
Good riding position . A bit comfier than the dire seat on 1250GSA, though I did pack my seat pad . Apologies if that irks TIJ650’s vanity before sanity clause , but my nerve damage dictates I need to try get comfy .
The screen on the bike is pointless . Whether fully up or down it makes fuck all difference, as do the deflectors.
Standing on the pegs produced the same airflow as sat down .
The bike weighs a ton and has a high c of g . Heaviest bike I’ve ever had to heave off side stand.
Weight disappears when riding though and it tips in lovely , probably due to being top heavy .
A good , not great bike . Would have one over the 1250GSA, but looking forward to getting Voge DS900X away. Same engine , better seat and screen , plus fully loaded for half the price of 900 GSA if you try spec it up to similar levels .

Superb side-trip with great weather (looks like a couple of kite surfers in the 'obligatory Table Top mountain shot'?
Pity that the National Parks Comms team chose THE most 'we're all at the beach and bored as f*ck' photo that could possibly be on a tourist brochure (includes hiding the picnic table out of the wind). It speaks of depression, more than excitement!
What keeps Paternoster going, then, if not even a paved road? (Retirees?).
It's great to see you bringing part of RSA to life with your getting out-and-about energy... But the poor buggers that have to live in a Paradise spoiled by politics is another story. Maybe Trump needs a real estate interest there, to sort it out...
Have a good flight home.
