Hi Barry. That's great news.I went on a ride this past weekend with a couple
FJ's a GSXR7-11 & a BMW (the 1 with the pipes in the tailsection ala
Ducati. I don't rememeber the call sign.) Since I'm still doing break-in I
can't say much about highway speed. But when we got in the twisties & then
pulled over to check out the scenery, I started to hear comments in the
backround like: that' a hell of a bike, that thing redefines handling, it
can sure do the boogie....... In short they were all thoroughly impressed &
apparently they all had to work to keep up. Of course I'm not talking about
road racing, just the confidence inspiring ride that the GTS offers. It's a
great bike. Maybe a little ahead of its time? Eh? Be good. Ride safe. Peter
Piazza.
