And is that the 1200GSA?

I borrowed a Honda 400 in Bolivia to ride the "Road of Death" from La Paz to Corocio. Went from 13,500 to 17,000 and down to 3000 ft AGL. They modify carbs with a small strand of copper wire to hold the jet open at altitude. It was scary to look down and seen the crash of a bus down 1500 feet from the road. I hugged the inside wall each time I passed a decending truck. Uphill traffic has the right of way since they cannot get started again after stopping.

Mine is a 2002 R1150 GSA. I have a hybrid transmission with a low 1st gear and a tall 6th gear.
