I have enjoyed all bikes that I've owned including my 2 GS models in the adv category. I will say that all things being equal, which they never are, I like my S 10 better than the GS but not by much. Both are great bikes IMO but so was my yammy TMAX scooter. Gosh what fun and pratical that was. As the old saying goes, sometimes one makes the right decision otherbtimes we make the decision right. With the S10 I madevthe right decision .
