To clarify, I have only been riding the eastern end of the TAT so far this trip, followed by a huge highway shlep across the country to meet commitments in Arizona last weekend, and am currently back home in California planning the next stage of my assault on the countryside on this side of the continent...
In that context, the CB500X is more comfortable as a long-distance multi-day cross-country machine (as you might expect, having a more powerful twin-cylinder engine), but I've yet to really put the GS through it's paces in more serious and technical off-road terrain to be able to make a full comparison.
In that regard I'll be heading back east again next week, via Death Valley en route to Overland Expo West in Arizona, then the following week heading to Moab UT to ride some more demanding off-road terrain there.
You'd all be welcome to follow my progress via the running ride-report "Beemer Beemer chicken deener" over on ADVrider of course ;o)
