Not intending to derail this thread, but . . . If you ride almost exclusively asphalt twisties, may I suggest you investigate the Pilot Road 3s and/or the newer Pilot Road 4s, both of which come sized for the GS. I have Pilot Road 3s on both my 1995 R1100GS and my 2010 R1200GS, and I cannot say enough good things about them. I have used them for aggressive street riding, sport touring, and even a track day. They are quiet, stable, predictable, quick to warm up, great in the wet, and very, very sticky. I used Anakee 2s for years, and the Pilot Roads are far superior tires for street use.
