I think there are quite a few 1090s still around, if you want a 1290 you might need to be a bit quicker.
And of course nobody needs the extra grunt, my old 650 V-Strom had "enough" grunt, but the 1090 put a bigger smile on my face, and the 1190 had me chuckling, the 1290 sends me into hysterical fits....
...and for £12k with TFT Screen, Semi Active Suspension, Cruise Control, Lean Sensitive ABS etc it is about £5k less than an equivalent GS, OK it lacks shaft drive, but seeing as it weighs less and chucks out 25BHP more than the latest 1250 I think anyone buying a beemer right now is off their rocker!
