I like it. A lot.

Wish they made a smaller CC version though - to AMJ's point, that's a crapload of bike to be throwing around the mud (not that it can't be done, of course)

They do, one based off the 800cc VFR motor in Aussie land though.

Yeah, not in the US. We don't get the good toys here.

All these fancy "ADV" bikes remind me of the SUV boom a few years ago.

You guys are so cutting edge.

It's what is selling. The GS is the best all around bike I have ever ridden. It's fun in the twisties. It's super comfortable. I can tear down fire roads without fear. It's easy to maintain. They are selling them. Everyone is jumping on that bandwagon since the sportbikers aren't buying shit.

With that said, there's sure to be an Eddie Bauer edition!

Because we live in the "Fast & Stupid" era where all dudes want is 1000cc or nothing.
