Looks like the gen3 is a pig.

Brought to you by the Gladius design team. Hard for me to get past that.

It seems all of the new naked bikes today are trying to look like Gladius', from all the manufacturers. I still like curves and my round headlight.

A touch harsh I feel

Not to hurt your feelings. I'm only speaking in terms of weight.

From a racing perspective the steel frame is more rigid than the Gen 2 aluminum jobbie which offers more flex

Good point. The rigidity may make up for the added weight. Mad, have you raced them both?

Just not into the Megatron looks of the GS. Looks like it's trying too hard to look tough.
