GT test ride, my first Sprint ride!

Owning a S3, I was expecting that great tractability of the triple motor with a touch of civility added. I was not disappointed. I rode the bike in city traffic and on the I5 and loved the performance and comfort. It has a great seat that didn't push me forward and was softer than the S3's.
For me, as a Sport/Tourer, the bike leans more towards being a sport bike with the lack of an adjustable windscreen and the low bar position. These are personal issues and could be corrected for me.

If I didn't already have a road bike and could only have one bike, the GT would be on the short list for sure.

Now what would be a really great test ride is if I could talk Howard into letting me use it for a day trip over to Winthop and back on the N. Cascades Hwy. I wont hold my breath on that happening. Did do the trip Monday on the other sport/tour machine that we wont mention.:)
The food was not up to NM standards and was burping it up most of the way home. Aaach!
