I had an interesting ride this morning, I took an 1150 GSA through to Benoni this morning in what turned from a pleasant morning to an icy blast, but anyway thats not the subject...

I have ridden GSA's before but not on the highway really so it was a bit of a suprise today, the 6th gear response is much better slightly like a long 5th compared to a GS especially uphill, but I was always thinking how nice that looong 6th is on the basic GS on the highway hauls.

Other Ex GS, GSA riders have mentioned that they loved that long legged GS box, but I have always yearned for that low first so forgot about the difference in 6th, opinions out there?    8) 8)
