Those considering a test ride

Wind the rear preload up quite a bit. It totally transforms the handling of the bike.

When I picked my bike up in the North Island I rode the first 200 kms on the standard settings. The bike felt good but not as good as I thought it might be. When I stopped for a cuppa I wound up the rear preload and WOW, this thing is demon handling bike Bit less comfort, a lot better handling.

Also, has anyone else noticed that they seem to have developed a tiny bit of front end dive into the GS? I presume thats what helps the sharper front end feeling.

Anyway, this bike rocks

KiwiAdventure - I see your 12 is scheduled for delivery in Dec - would you mind telling me when you ordered yours ??

I ordered mine about 3 months ago and I have been given a build date of week 40 (I presume this is late october ) with delivery early Nov - I am hoping this wont slip later
