2006 1200GS vs 2008 GS or GSA
 

I am thinking about upgrading my 2006 GS to 2008 GSA with ESA, ABS and computer. Anyone has experienced both?

1. What is the difference in suspension tuning?
2. Is the sixth speed taller or lower in 2008 vs 2006? How's the fuel mileage?
3. Is the difference between 2006 and 2008 worth the money?

Thanks for any wisdom, preferably objective.

06-08
 

I think you will find the differences are very much cosmetic.

Standard suspension is the same as the 06 but you have the option of Electronic Suspension Adjustment

Gearing is the same as the 06 but you have the option of a lower first gear.

Fuel consumption is going to be pretty much the same as well.

Its not a new model, just a tart-up.

Have a look here for more detail:
