After selling my 1200, I thought I'd wait a bit, but am keen right now! Not lekker not having a bike.

I'm looking for a 1150 gs or gas, but I think the itch is more with the gsa. As mentioned in the for sale section, I'm not looking for a mint low mileage model.

Now I'm possibly going to look at this on Thursday afternoon.

Is it a GSA? I see it only has gs on the tail. Shouldn't it have gas?  It's easy with the 1200's as the gsa's all have black wheels as apposed to silver. I know the tank, gearing and suspension is different on the 1150gs/gsa, but is there a clear and obvious difference other than that?  I ask because it appears as though there are a couple of 1150gs's dressed up as gsa's.
