    Howdy from Texas! That last year or so without the Tft I looked very hard at before I was granted a super deal on a 23 gsa 1 year ago. Something very attractive about the instrument cluster on yours is very appealing along with the all the ride controls, congratulations! Thanks for the vids! Enjoy

    Hi Kate, that's funny! You bought a BMW and sold a triumph! I sold my BMW S1000R last year and
    bought one of the last "really" Triumph Speed Triple 1050 here in Germany, cause i love it so much :o)
    I think, the GS is a really Road King and you will enjoy it very much - and i think, i will enjoy my Speedy!
    Wish you many good miles with your new bike!

    Wow what a great looking bike Kate, I can't believe the condition for a 16 plate... on film it looks brand-new!!! All the big RRs etc are just too much for the roads these days and far too much money to spend for track use so you have made the right decision you know what they are like and you will love it. I recently traded my Monster 1200R and a 1200 Multistrada and bought a 1250 GSA and after doing over 2000 miles since the 1st of March this year can honestly say its fantastic. All the people who slate them or call them old mens bikes etc have never ridden one well not properly anyway.
    Enjoy it Katie Bobs you got the right back up should anything go wrong but it won't (;

I didn’t want to like it because I viewed it as a middle aged man bike but my friend talked me into a free test ride… and I’ll be dammed if the “perceived weight” just disappeared once the bike reaches 3 mph and above. *on the road.

I also get a little anxious about my line of sight around the fairing and front forks. If it's anything more than a simple dashing head, i.e. a naked (preferably neo retro), it just "feels" cumbersome. I'm also not wild about sitting low with forward controls and foot boards on cruisers. Lol, I've got all sorts if issues. That's part of why I love these channels and other POVs.
