Nice looking GS!  However, Candy Antares Red is and always has been the fastest color for a gs.   :laugh: :icon_razz:

Welcome to the circus!


While Red may be faster, BLUE Corners better...see you in the twisties!

the back looks low to me, and maybe the front also. looks like a tiny bike !


if those mirrors are actually usable with proper gear on (IE JACKET/GLOVES) i HAVE to know where they are from, please.

i really like the look of that bike. low and mean. little. fun.

congrats and welcome!

I LOVE the mirrors, they leave the entire front veiw of the bike unobstructed...no dangly alien antena with chrome mirrors just small black mirros on the side of the bike!

I dont know where they came from, in fact I feel really bad as the bike came with the box the mirrors were packeged in and I have already thrown that box away.  They were from Europe however.   They screw into the sides of the handlebars. Im planing on using the empty screw mounts to mount a camera and a gps unit on the handlebar. 

Everyone says the bike seems low...does that mean the suspension is not factory? The front needs a little work, I ride double up often and you can tell that it needs a stiffer spring. Lucky for me im not a big guy (140 pounds) and it suits me perfect riding solo.
