    I think they have handguards/bigger screen and a 21front 18back set up

    Plus higher sus which would be good for me

    They do actually have stronger voices, but then the bank balance and my age also have extreamly loud voices

    21 front correct but still a 17 rear.

    What will you use it for? if it's mainly road use then get the GS. if you like a bit of off-roading as well then go for the Dakar.

    the later versions are twin-spark, makes for a less vibey ride and better fuel economy.
