Yea it is weird stepping down in power but I actually found it to be liberating. The loss of weight makes throwing the bike into corners fun! I've had my X on the same roads as the GS and actually run them faster on the smaller bike. GS great on the wide open roads but that isn't where I do my riding. Much better on unpaved roads and last week I took it down a really rough trail that would have been impossible on the GS.
Counter intuitive, especially these days but bigger isn't always better.
