<< I would love to blast away the cobwebs with triple digit speeds, and I agree that for pure acceleration, handling, looks and long distance riding the GTS is a fantastic bike. I love this machine and will defend it to the last. Try a modern day sport bike if you want to experience acceleration and handling. The GTS as a sport tourer is adequate, but hardly noteworthy when it comes to comparing it to what a motorcycle can do. Then again modern day motorcycles are so far superior to most riders they cant appreciate what the limits of the bike truly are. However, the surging I am experiencing, along with an over sensitive throttle response means that low top mid speed cornering where I want pin point throttle control is almost impossible to achieve. >> Are you cornering in the 2000 to 3000 RPM range? Although the bike will pull from those RPMs, it is certainly not in the meat of the torque curve there. If your bike is surging up around 5000 RPMs, then you have a problem which is not the inherent low speed surge referenced on the list.
