Jason R Posted February 13, 2017 My Ride Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Is it just me or do others find all these traction control modes too much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bryan Bosch Posted February 13, 2017 Author Administrators My Ride Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 My right hand on the throttle and left hand on the clutch is all the traction control I need. So, yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted February 16, 2017 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Jeremy from AltRider put together this overview of the new GS Rallye. To me, it seems like the base GS with the taller GSA suspension & subsequent lowered seat (compensating for taller suspension). So basically a somewhat lighter (?) GS for off road "abuse."
