Lol as I was an owner of the one of the 1st GSA1150s (pre lwr) I learned that lesson early. Owned for just under 2 years and bike was in the shop for issues about 9 times, some silly (dealer jet washed the decals off- Tank corroded but new one turned up un painted!) and some serious rear hub had large amount of play (5~10mm att wheel rim) has put me of that and the later 1200..
I've also tried the Katoom 950 (for 2 years ) and as its not changed much in 6 years it leaves me uninterested.
I have to admit I was put off the new S10 by the method of selling, price and mag reports that basically said it didnt have any innovation and was overwieght. Having seen that the press seem to have missed the fact its actually moved the world on quite a bit with the ABS and TC systems and that other owner reports have be glowing in the handling/usability stakes I think its been mis understood (certainly in the UK- not helped by the price ).
