Re: New GTS arrives
I took my mates bike to over 90mph on the flat and it was actually really ok. Obviously it was a fleeting visit to that speed as I didn't want to attract unwanted attention, but the bike was fine and was smooth too. Everyone worries about the 12" wheels not being able to cope with those speeds, but while not the best, they do work ok and there is no need to worry about them. It's only the front shock you need to replace with a better one, that stabilises the front no end at those sort of speeds.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

I also worry about the insurance implications re. The speed ring.

Re: New GTS arrives
Officially it's a mod, but no one's going to know I'm guessing. Not like when you do a full Malossi kit upgrade.

Re: New GTS arrives
You’re probably right but I wonder, insurers are wise!
