The black engine thing intrigued me.So after a few phone calls and talking to people in low places I find out that my GS's got a RT engine in its belly.A few things I noticed was the long 1st gear.Can go up to 60km before changing to 2de.Cruse comfortably at 140km with refs at 4000.Would not like to go up Sani with that 1st gear but makes it a pleas er with the offerdrive on the open road.What will be the pros and cons with this bike.I can not determine when or why the engine was replaced.Welsh would like your opinion.Otherwise the bike is a beaut.
