xtz660 vs gs80pd...
ive got a problem of sorts, in around six months time i will be riding a bike from london to india. currently i ride a very tidy xtz660 but i was a little worried that this bike may not be suitable for riding two up across the world. yesturday i took a 1986 gspd (nice bike) for a ride as i was thinking this may have been a more suitable option, but ive come away very confused. i really enjoy the way the tenere handles, and with a solid suspesion upgrade i thought this bike would be fine for the job. i found the 80 gspd to be a small bike and the advantages for two didnt seem too obvious (apart from the reliable engine) as the breaks , sloppy suspesion(mono lever shock), riding position and poor electrics seemed allot worse than my tenere. i feel i would have to spend allot of cash to get the bike up to a suitable standard even though this is a very good example of a GS 80PD....hmmmmm...
im really confused.....i hope your experience can ease my worried mind....phil.
