2013 or 2014?.... The 2013 is like a chubby old wife who's going to serve you well but you don't particularly want to ride it, whilst the 2014 is like a sexy
mistress who's going to cause you problems but you enjoy throwing your leg over it at every opportunity.


Both should be well sorted bikes, just depends on whether you like thongs or bloomers.
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

The rider triangle on the 2014 bike has been lowered by 20mm, making it easier to get your leg over and feet on the ground.

The 2013 bike might be more comfortable for a taller rider on a longer ride with less knee bend.
