I've heard it will only do 80 miles on a tank. Is this true?
Who cares! Bloody nice looking bike. I saw the Chrome one at the NEC.
Style over function

What were the other reasons?
The Diaval is on my dream bike list, so is there anything I should be aware of?

it captured my heart and was the first bike in years that i wanted just on looks
it was very quick too
upsides - cool,quick,handled well enough,sounded great, cool screens
downsides - fixing luggage of any type was a pain, tank bags abscured the lower screen - windscreens helped the buffeting but ruined the looks - suspension too hard for my local roads - enjoyed smooth a roads, twitchy on anything else - tank too small
conclusion - great as a one up, sunny day bike if you have another do it all bike in the garage already
go get a test ride, but do some arm exercises first
it was very quick too

Good to know.
I'd keep the 12GS for touring, so it'd be a good 2nd bike for sunny days.
