No Jarrett, we're going up that. Remember you told me you like going up more than down. No...you don't have to thank me.
The engine is buttery smooth, but mine has the well documented ‘snatch’ at low speeds. It’s something to do with the throttle by wire response. Any little bump makes the rpm jump a little which has made off-road riding tricky but still doable. Suspension from factory is probably off for what you need but there are very propylaea settings on the crosstourer.com forum. It feels very much like a sport touring adventure bike than a straight ADV. Downshifting and engine braking feel amazing. I did a couple 800-1000 mile days from Texas to Vermont and back. Bike never missed a beat doing ‘exactly the speed limit’. What else do you want to know?I want one. I've owner two GSA's and put 125 k on them. But I'm gonna go down and ride a used 1200x next week. Anything I should look out for? Is this thread still alive
Justa note here......MrgreenGenes isnt a TWT member....or any other forum for that matter.. But he has been a good friend of mine for many years now.
He's also owned GoldWings since the late 70s....but decided to try the VFR as a possible lighter replacement.
I went the opposite way, from a VFRx to a 16 GSA. I loved the engine on the Honda, but they did a disservice to the bike and left off all the necessities that it needed. No seat adjustments, typical bad suspension, no cruise, no abs modes, no accessory support for USA, etc. It was great for short rides, but when going 600-1000 miles in a day, it was a grind. The GSA makes it so much easier, plus I can take it off road through single track terrain without any worry.Id love to ride one sometime as a longtime honda vfr fan. I decided against the lack of tech, amenities and top heaviness, and went back to another gsa, in fact a 2016. Its amazing honda so underestimated the market. I still love them though and may own one someday, who knows.
