hey everyone in cyber land!
well, my story here in wisconsin is, i traded in my '05 GS for this little baby, and i'm soooo happy with it. my GS took me to some crazy places, even the Holy Grail (Alaska). but after a long trip out west this summer through moab and all that, i just got kinda tired of the motorcycle camping bit and decided to change it up and go for the big scooter, with all it's style and simplicity. i'm still getting used to it, and i do feel a little perched atop it yet - i'm about 6'1, 200 lbs, but that's getting better. love the speed and quickness. and really love the styling (i have the blue one). about the only thing i can tell i don't like about it is the basic "harley-type" riding position, of now having my feet out in front, and all the weight on my arse. with my GS, my feet were underneath and i was much more upright, and could ride from sunup to sundown, for days on end. with this, i can tell it's more of a few-hundred-mile tripper kinda deal, but that's cool, i'm ok with that. when i'm ready for another big road trip, i'll either trade for or just add an RT to my stable. looking forward to hearing about what others think, as well as mods!
