Mr_Ed Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 A 12GS will compare VERY favorably against an 1150RT. The GS with it's wider bars (greater leverage) and greater suspension travel makes for an amazing machine in the twisty stuff. The 1200 motor also revs very freely.... many would say more so than the 1150. Link to comment
wrestleantares Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have ridden an 04 RT extensively, and have a 07 GS. The GS is by far the better bike, IMO, on twisty roads. Even with the disadvantage of the Dual Sport Touring rubber I have on it now. It has turn in so smooth you just think about leaning and the bike goes over like a dream. Nice power benefit from the big weight difference. High pegs makes the bike corner at ludicrous speeds even two-up. The bike just inspires confidence. Link to comment
