If you can take for a test ride, do so, but the handling will be fairly similar.

try sitting on them, are the seat heights the same? My missus felt comfy on the older GS, and she's 5' 2"

I'd go for the GS.
The GS was always a bit higher spec I believe - OHC vs OHV on the CG and the GS always came with a disc brake that I remember, while the 93 CG will be a drum.

However, the OHV engine is slightly simpler and may be a little better on fuel?

I have a 1990 CG which is almost the same as the 93 (if not identical)

What's the difference in price between the two?

GS is infinitely superior. CG is a dog rough old heap whose only redeeming quality is good fuel consumption.

GS handles better, goes faster, looks nicer and will very likely outlast a CG.
