Hi everyone,

I've been lurking on this forum and the some other forums for some six months now, trying to decide what to do (GSA or S10). After a 26 year break from biking, I've finally bitten the bullet - the S10 is due to arrive on 1 June.

Thanks to all who post such great info on here, for helping me to make the right decision ::012::

Outstanding! There is local brewery here in Seattle, Washington called the Pike Street that sells a beer called Kilt Lifter. It's tasty. If you ever make it this far It'll be on me. Cheers, enjoy your new ride.

Welcome from South of the Border!

I know you'll not be disappointed with the S10. I'm heading up to Inverary and the North tomorrow. Keep the midges in the bottle please!

Welcome and congratulations. What was the deciding factor for choosing the s10 over the GSA?

Go on admit it, it was the fact that you didn't want to start smoking a pipe and wearing slippers wasn't it?

Thanks for the welcomes, peeps. ::008::

Tis a black beastie I am getting.

Reason the S10 beat the GSA as my chosen steed - it just felt right sitting on it, the GSA felt too tall for my liking.

Welcome from Oregon r1d1 ::021:: If you have been off the bikes for a few years the slower black model will be much safer for you ::025:: You have made a wise choice with the ST. Enjoy ::022::

Welcome, good choice in color. The GS is a bit tall isn't it?
