    Test Ride

    Just got back from test riding a 990 Adventure and 1200 GS. Overall, was pleased to be back on my AT for the ride home!! 990 throttle WAY to sensitive and felt the GS very stiff on corners and a bit twitchy on gear change (being a flat twin I assume). Friend came with me on his Blackbird and on the way back we swapped bikes. On arrival home he got off my AT grinning from ear to ear and said overall that it was by far the better ride than either the 990 or GS, so impressed he's loggin onto the forum this pm to find one (if he buys yours Taz I want some commision!!!).

    Pleassse Mr Honda - stop pi***ng about and lets get a new AT on the go!!!

    I tell you lads this morning a KaTieM stopped next to me before Limehouse link and tried to stick with him - NO WAY JOSE

    When the dude hit 2nd gear and opened up the front wheel lifted and woosh he was gone untill I caught up with him as his filtering skills sucked a bit I was very very very impressed by the display of power.......
