I'd just put my XT660X up for sale on Auto Trader before I took out a GSA for a spin at my dealer. I left thinking GS or GSA? For a grand more you the bigger tank, wire wheels, better wind protection, cylinder protectors and what appears at the moment rarer but a heavier bulkier bike at lower speeds than the GS. Within two weeks the XT had been swapped for cash. All I had to do was decide which was the right one. The decision process actually started the day I took delivery of the XT. 6 months earlier. There was a GS standing next to it and I wished I'd taken that instead.
This morning my car refused to start and whilst waiting for it to be collected I found myself killing time reading about the reviews on your site when suddenly I was on the phone to my dealer who'd recently told me about their cancelled GSA order had given out my credit card details, arranged insurance and handed the keys of my dead car to my neighbour to look after and was on my way to the train station to collect the beast. I hadn't even told my wife. I arrived at my train station's platform as the train pulled up. I had four tube changes each time there was a train there waiting. I'd never had this luck with the tube before, all going like clockwork, the sun was out, dealer just 2 mins walk away just about to go past my wife's place of work thinking "how am I going to tell her" when she suddenly opened the door and walked out onto the busy pavement in front of me. Equally surprised I had some explaining to do. She came along saw the bike, said she wasn't impressed with what I'd done and would "kill the sales person" and promptly left. The paperwork was done, docs signed, sales person warned to keep a low profile and I was on my way to work on what can only be described as a fantastic and comfortable bike. Riding it home tonight was thoroughly enjoyable. I'm glad to have taken the plunge and now just need to figure out a way to win my wife over!
