I took delivery of my GSA1250 today and love it, but there was a couple of things where I found the old GS1200 AC better and I want to share this with you before I get so used to the new 1250 that it just becomes the norm again.

Number one……the first thing that I noticed almost immediately was the road/wind noise coming from the cluster/fork area at low speeds eg 60km/h. This was almost non existent on the AC at that speed……at higher speeds it gets cancelled.

In saying this, looking down the forks, I can see allot of road where on the AC you saw very little road.

Secondly, I miss the old left thumb left flicker and right thumb right flicker as well as the cancel button……that was a nice feature.
But in saying that, the auto switch of off the 1250 is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

Furthermore, nothing to complain about, the 1250 is smooth as butter on a summers day……it just sails through turns …..me like it very muchos 😬😃
