My GSA was $22,000 plus tax so it was an easy $9,000 over the 2014 ES. They gave me 48 months at a very low interest rate so ny payment for the new Yamaha with the 2012 S10 trade was $185 per moth, the BMW is $387. Hate to say it but it but GSA is worth the difference for me. A lot of you...

Just posting a update on the GSA, just rolled 5000 miles and so far so good! Bike bike is running great and still stock except for higher wind screen and Sargent seat. Getting 42 mpg and have had zero issues. The engine still impress me and its performance just reenforces Yamaha needs to...

My old Tenere had a PCV, full headers, slip on, and opened up air box with a dyno tune from Ken Wheeler in Robbinsville, NC. So 96 hp on his Eddy current dyno was probably reflects5-8percent lower numbers than most Dyno-jet braking style dynos. It was fast in the 30 to 70 mph range, but ran out...

I still feel the GSA makes much more power at lower RPM's and pulls much harder than my Tenere. The Yamaha had 96 hp at the rear wheel on dyno. Most test on the BMW get around 115 rear wheel so the extra 20 hp and maybe 20 lbs less weight when not topped off of fuel really make a difference...

I heavy at 220 lbs so the seat is to soft for me. Will wait until the snow flies and ship it off to Seth Lamm for a firm up. The ESA system does feel odd at times and won't let the bike pull the front end. It is great on a rough road but you feel it trying to adjust when going slow. It is...

Some of the comments on fit and finnish of the Yamaha are what did not make the bike as desirable to me. The routing of cables from handle bars, stamped metal heel guards, routing of abs cable to rear wheel, routing of brake lines to front wheel. I think it would run forever and everything...

I tossed my soul to the devil and came home on a Matte Green with the orange stickers removed 2014 BMW 1200 GSA. If it works out great, if not it will be on the blocks next spring. It is a very fun, fast, and great handling bike! Not $6000 better than a Tenere but I just like the quality of...

I have yet had a test ride on a Wing, will also check out a FB6. The trusted Tenere is still in the garage so have not done anything yet! Just ruling out options at this time.

Guys thanks for the kind words and prayers for my wife. It is truly amazing how many people are effected by this terrible condition. We are both so thankful to live near Cleveland Clinic for her health care. The doctors and nurses have been so kind, professional and gone above the call of duty...

I going out of town Wednesday -Sunday with wife who has been healing from a round of chemo and radiation treatments for colon cancer. Not going to worry about the deal, if when I back and they do not have a date for the fix I will think about killing the deal. I will get ride a Goldwing might...

Man all of you guys sure do feel very strong about your brand and choice of bike. I like my Tenere and it has been a good bike and a lot of fun! I walked into the BMW experience with my eyes open and was expecting issue. I am in a position in life to own just about any bike with in reason...

The dealer called and told me they have a hold on the RT! Thanks for the notice from a few of you guys... So I thinking what to do with the deal and will sleep on it tonight. Had plans to get the new bike Friday and have a great weekend but a failure in the rear shock ESA system has killed my...

Two of my riding buddies have FJR's and love the smooth motor and seat but find they feel heavy and slow to turn in. I always lost them in the twistys with the Tenere. I love fit and finish on my bikes, guns, and tools. I just cannot get over how cheap the controls on the FJR feel and look...

Thanks for the good advice and warning on service. I made the dealer quote $150 for the 600 mile service flat fee and I will do all other work myself. I lived with a 2007 KTM 990 for 2 years and hoping this wont be as taxing. I am ok with the cash so I really just wanted t try the RT. I did...

I have been thinking of the Rt and decided in 2012 to buy the Tenere instead. It is a good all around bike but still felt I wanted a better road bike. The 2014 RT is a new bike and all of the reviews have been great. So sat took a hour test ride and decide to make the switch. The Tenere is...

I had both over the years but if it was money contact Seth Lamm at Lamm seating. He did my seat for $220 and it is great. He keeps seat pans in stock so order your seat and he ships it ready to go. Send your seat back in the same box. He did my seat in March of this year and it completely...

I had one in my KTM 990 and it went into melt down and damaged some parts around the battery. The gray smoke was streaming out of the battery compartment and I was hoping it would catch the bike on fire and I would get a insurance payoff. That was the worst bike as far as break downs it have...

Installed the new Yosh last night. Great fit and quality. It is quiter than the Two Brothers slip on it replaced. Ok for riding with out ear plugs.

I have 2 Brothers SS slip on with 24000 miles. It is loud and ok quality. Replacing it with a Yosh as we speak. If it works out maybe you should buy the old one for $125 plus shipping.

Re: Airbox mods? I opened up my air box and run a clutch mod jumper, PCV, arrow header, and Two Brothers slip on. I did the same type of cutting as Jaxon but did not install the smaller per filters on the bottom of the air box just left holes. Running a BMC filter vs K&N. Bike runs great and...
