Wojo72 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I'd like to see him run the GSXS again to see what his time was after getting more familiar with the road. Edited August 26, 2016 by Wojo72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 ST bikes are the fastest. Because while the R and S bike people are stopping for fuel and resting their asses the ST bike guys are already there.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he stopped riding altogether but like so many others on this board he couldn't stop his thing from making babies, you can figure out the rest. To address the video. Changing the road and distances will get different results using the same bikes as in the video. How you feel after you are done riding also plays into buying decisions. The goal isn't always speed, for me it's having a good time. I am one of the unlucky people that can't ride a cruiser, the damn things just kill my back. I however have no such discomfort riding a sportbike. I do get fatigued on long slow rides because of pressure created from the riding position on my wrists and shoulders. A faster ride on roads that require me to get off of the bike leaves me with little discomfort riding a sportbike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, as I am always moving around. I'd rather ride 350 miles of twisties than spend an 1.5 hours on the slab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did just fine on in the twisties when I got there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have them both, but nowadays they're getting trailered everywhere. One to the dragstrip, the other to MidOh - doesn't even have street fairings on it anymore.

redkow97 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 His test was stupid. He's comparing times, but wearing jeans? i agree with him that going 100% on public roads is foolish, but that makes his measurement for evaluation irrelevant. My guess is that the V Strom is really the best blend of performance, comfort, and versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
