Reducing the turning radius by 15" is a big difference? What the hell. At least try and ride them. I doubt he could hit that tight a radius on any of them. The bike isn't the limit, the rider is. And I'm with J_F, offroad I am not steering to the stops very often (and normally it is just before I fall down).

Is that something a trials bike can do?

Need confirmation.

Thanks.

I am sure you could do it on the GS if you practice enough. You know, just to prove that the GS is the bike for everyone.

That is something that theoretically any lightweight bike can do if the rider is up for it.

Beyond that, the idiot is going to trash his rad the first time he rides that thing. Using the rad as a steering stop is kinda dumb.
