GS vs. GSA? Why did you chose one over the other?

Off topic, but are there any RT engine guards that really protect the plastic?

Engine guards??? I thought that's what the cylinders did.

Oh, wait, that was an oilhead RT. Never Mind.

Yes you cant get metal ones that fully protect the Cylinders and the bike but, here is the but if you ride with panniers those will get scuffed

Back to the GS vs GSA debate

It's been round the block a few times but this video shows you how the RT falls and how the panniers will always get slammed

I have a nasty habit of dropping bikes once or twice a year, though only when they are not moving.. I would tire of paying for the RT's body work.

Therein is wisdom!
