"Get what you want" to quote her.

I'd love to have a 1200 or even 1600, but they are priced too high (even last year's demo). We way overpaid our taxes this year so we have a nice return coming which will make for a great down payment.

I actually like the seating position on the new 800 GT, they have made a slight adjustment from the old 800 ST, by moving the pegs down and a bit more forward. IMHO they still should have left it with an ST designation, it is more sport than a touring bike.

I will be getting the side and top boxes as well for the same reasons.

Thanks for the tip!
