Hi. I  Took a 2007 GSA for a test drive the other day. It had 40k on the clock. I took her for a long 30 min test drive and I noticed that on acceleration and deceleration the bike does what can best be described as  giving me the feeling that the bike attempts a Barrel roll. I found this unnerving and I assumed that I would get used to it. But I never did. Spoke to my mate who has an 1150 an he said he does not notice anything like that. When I got back to the dealer, I asked him about it and he said it is something all GS's do, because of the opposed cylinders. Is this Twak ?
