Recently bought a new GS R1200 LC TE.. but had a holiday booked before I decided to swap my 2015 performance sport zzr1400 for the GS.. So did not have chance to have a decent run and test the GS.. back from holiday now and I've given the GS 250 mile run around North wales..
Must say.. very impressed with the GS
.. main reason for changing from the zzr to the GS was comfort.. had 4 zzr1400's over the years and are a excellent bike but July this year I returned from 12 day 3,350 mile trip around France/Germany/Italy on my zzr.. but decided it's time I got a more comfy bike to do theses long tours on 
Recently did a 250 ride around North Wales and first impressions on the GS
no more aching wrists/back looking forward to doing the Europe trip on the GS next year that's for sure!! cruise control is spot on don't how I managed with out cruise control all these years.. still getting use to all the elec gizmo's on the TE model but slowly but surely getting there LOl.. Not to sure about the quick shift.. that's most likely because never had a quick shift on a bike before so will need time to get use to quick shift 
only used the quick shift a few times but suppose it works best when on full throttle.. hence the quick shift. will work on that 
hoping to get a weekend uk trip in this year and a few more decent day trips on the GS while we still have some decent weather left..
