Hex-Heads

["Tom Brown" <tbrown@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob:

I, for one, welcome experiences and comments from the soon to be evolving
hex head crowd.    I'm extrememly interested in this bike.  It represents
the next wave and is an interesting bike in its own right.   The reviews
I've read have been mostly the boilerplate tech analysis with very little,
if any, real-world impressions.    It'll be great to hear the good, the bad
and the ugly from a real hex head owner.

Although I purchsed a Twin Spark RT this year, there's definitely a hex-head
in my future.   Either a GS or an RT, probably.   I'm going to wait a few
years until more models are available to decide.   I'm still figuring out
the bike I have.

"Hex-head", by the way, comes from the shape of the new cylinders on this
engine.  From the side, they form sort of a six-sided shape looking straight
at the valve cover.   That is literally the only thing about this bike that
is less attractive to me than the old GS.

Have fun with your new ride!
