Thanks all! Am looking forward to it..... Another question - what tyres you guys using? I have to put a new set on. I want somethung sticky and good in the wet - dont really go off road... Is the conti trail attack the one or what you advise?

Roadsmarts are great IMO, however the PR3 is now out and the Roadsmart 2 and available in GS sizes.

And a comparison review:

The only problem with these reviews is they are done on sportsbikes, but I would assume the characteristics will be similar, certainly the Roadsmart looks to have excellent grip.

I must admit to being slightly dissapointed with the 4k rear mileage I get from these tyres as I got about the same from my old ZZR1400 that had almost twice the power and was typically travelling a bit faster. The fronts last ages which helps a bit though.

Getting my GSA on Friday! Cant wait! Bought a top case too and have the sat nav mounted too! Really looming forward to it! Been on the bay and bought some pannier liners - the bmw ones were ridiculously priced! Hope these ones are good.

Cant wait for the first proper ride, just hope the weather stays kind so i can get a ride in before Christmas!!
