RS vs GS review

[runnerhiker]

I had a 2013 GS, the RS did not exists yet, and then I bought a 2016 RS as soon as they came out. After about a year of owning both, I clearly liked the RS better and I got rid of the GS.

I liked the appearance of the RS better, I liked the ergonomics of the RS better. I didn't notice any difference in the feel of the front suspension so no advantage to the paralever (mono lever?) of the GS. I only rode the GS on paved roads so the 19" front tire was a disadvantage for finding tires.

I also had a Tracer GT which was ok but the engine was not strong enough for my liking so I traded it in on a S1000XR.
