I bought my 2008 GS in September 2007
There were things about the bike that bothered me and I was able to change most of them the way I wanted
I now have a 2014 RTL and really like the changes BRP made to the bike
After making for 7 years you would think BRP would put a switch on the bike so you would not have to wait to start it [waiting for safety message]
It is the one thing that still bugs me after 7 years of ridding
Some of you have stated that the 2014 does not take as long but mine seems to take longer than my 2008 did, and if shut off it seems to go to that mode sooner than my GS did
Still love the bike
just not patient when wanting to get going
never did like waiting for anything
