ESA or No ESA

Togles,

After a bit over 30k on an 06 GT (well 2 GTs actually), I think you have the right idea about using the test ride to determine whether You want ESA.

Personally, I have found ESA to be highly overrated - but I have had a lot of problems on mine (to include a failed front shock and failed ball joints) so my bike is a definitive minority.

Just curious, doing some more homework before I buy.

Is this a nice option to have, or is it over rated?

Maybe I should try to test ride one with it and one wihout it.

Thanks,

T
