Had my GSX a couple of weeks now( I donĀ“t know why but whether its the stiffer front springs or the Bridgestone tyres this bike handles better(Not significantly) but yes better than the 1250GT I traded in. I migrated the hard luggage from that to my new bike and bought the givi PLX range fixings which give more room for the pillion and retains the grab rail. Its bike, recommend it,great value.
