I took out the Boulevard M50 and the Bandit 1250S…
Both nice bikes…the M50 made me feel pretty cool, and I liked the sound of the bike better than the Bandit. The torque and Hp of the M50 were a little better than my GS500, but not a big difference. The Bandit on the other hand…holy crap!!! Yup, not ready for that…piles of fun, and a goofy grin plastered on my face. But I could see the power getting me into trouble…maybe for a third bike…
I think my knees are getting used to the bend, because the longer rides aren’t causing as much discomfort as they were just a couple of weeks ago. I am going to be keeping the GS500 atleast until next season…then I don’t know what I will do…I was looking at some Katana 750 bikes on the net, but I would prefer fuel injection…GSX650F, as Rab suggested, but it is a smaller bike similar in size to my GS…and if I am going to “upgrade”, I would like to have a little more leg room.
Aaah…I have a year to decide, and Demo Days are in the spring…maybe I’ll just keep the GS…??!!
Later.
