No pros.....No cons
Take a test ride and decide for yourself.

No skin off my a$$ slick.....I can tell you all the reasons I choose to
ride a R/G instead of a S/G, but it is a moot point when it concerns
your comfort and what you like.
Only way to decide is with a test ride.........its your $20k, not mine !!!!
