The GPR's are VERY pretty, and I darn near went with one because of that,a good unit but the Scotts not damping back to center was the reason I went with the Scotts, though I know there is endless debate on this. A recent article said you don't even know it's there-till you take it off.I like that, and a GPR equipped 250X I rode kind of irritated me with that resistance back to center, though I'm sire you'd get used to it.
They are both good units,no question. I do see a clear trend in the GPR needing that free service though.
However, some big names have won with the GPR too, so I know it can do the job. Doug
