Title: Leaving the fold...
Post by: 2xs on April 03, 2005, 05:40:50 PM
Well, fellow GSTwin.com members...I've done the unthinkable.  Yes, I traded in my 2004 GS500F this weekend.  As much as I loved the bike and the mods that I've worked with the crew here on, I decided to go to a slightly larger and more powerful bike.  My dream bike.  I went with the 2005 Honda CBR600RR.  Quite a different ride.  I wish you all the best of luck with the GS series' bikes and the forum.  They are great bikes and you all are a great group of people.  If anyone's ever out in the south Jersey area, look us up at //www.2xsrc.com

Congrats on the new bike!  I have yet to ride the latest and greatest 60RR, but as with all Honduh's, they make great bikes!  Not to mention, the CBR's are generally the most rider friendly race-replica's.

Thank you.  It is definitely a nice ride.  The ergos took about 10 miles to get used to, but after that, the overall performance just blew me away.  Sport Rider magazine just gave it the top honors for the middleweight sport bike class too.

Good point.  But, an aftermarket seat is available.
