You mean, riding to the North Pole isn't on your bucket list? Come on Vance, I thought you'd be first in line!

well, not yet anyway Jim....but I think Iceland might be really nice! (And if we go at the "right" time of year we still should not need a two wheel drive moder cicle!)

I don't know, I think it looks pretty cool.

I think ALL the GS's look cool. What they need is one that will pick itself up after you drop it. You all know we ain't what we used to be.

They copied that off of Wanda's electric bicycle

I wonder how that's different from the Christini Two-Wheel drive that KTM's offered for more than 10 years now. (If you're not familiar with Christini, google KTM 2 wheel drive motorcycle).

[rockosmith]

The GS uses an electric motor to power the front wheel while the Christinis front wheel is mechanically driven from the engine.

Thanks for that bit of info!
