Hi all,
Been a member for a while but haven’t really posted or even lurked if I’m honest. College kid and work full time now so woo!
Anyways, I have the K100LT (‘90) and I love it. Comfy, solid, brisk, reliable, good mpgs, etc. y’all know.
Ever since I saw gryphons rs it got me thinking. I like to drive fast and sometimes aggressively, and I feel like I beat up the poor LT. It handles it but I dunno, it feels like I’m wearing it down, for lack of a better phrase. Still pulls etc. and I love that I was able to take it cross country, all the bags... I took the big back one off for daily use but for the big trip I put it on and it was great. (New York to North Carolina and back in two days) Didn’t break a sweat, handled the southern(ish) heat and rain and mountains... again, you all know. And I especially like the little cubbies on either side of the fairing for daily use.
Another big thing I like about the LT is the big fairing/mirrors which makes it nice to ride even in the extra cold months. But I yanked the radio out, and now I have these speakers which are kinda dumb since they don’t do anything.
SO- if I were to look into switching over to the K100RS, would I be sacrificing much of the comfort things I mentioned for more of the aggressive/speed orientation? Are there big differences that I’d be missing out on that I’m not touching on? Any input helps. Thank y’all so much and I promise to be more active on here too [emoji28]
