[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 919648, member: 13519"] Yeah...Like the Triumph is going to have any better product support. Actually, BMW has very good support and will go to great lengths to ensure their customers are taken care of. Besides...The Beemers are VERY easy to work on. The engine is nearly hitting the rider in the leg for God's sake... Yamaha has built yet another GS wannabe and not even done an admirable job doing it. Just ask AVGeek who dropped his S10 at a near stop on a trail and had to have it towed home because it punched the radiator. Not good... I have seen you GS-A go down hard, bend hard parts, and nearly flip over...Then the rider got back on it and rode it home. Don is right. Comparing the Explorer or S10 to a GSA is like comparing a 4x2 truck to a tricked out 4x4the Trail truck. The differences in protection, suspension and build are so different that attempting to turn a standard GS into a GS-A isn't even a good idea. People can talk smack about the GS-A all they want, but most of it is just talk. Most people who have complaints about them have never ridden one. They're drinking their own form of Koolaid just cuz they think it sounds cool. [/QUOTE]
