Going crazy - new GS or current GSA?

[Yellow Peril]

I am biased have a GSA and would not change to a standard GS(even if I did like it) love the weather protection, the tank range, the long distance comfort and the road presence( can't miss me on the road) finally the fact that you really do stand out from the crowd even with the new kid on the block. Personally I don't need the speed, but I did I would be changing to
k1600 ever better weather protection and fast, very fast in real comfort.

Have a few hours to make a decision on new 2013 GSA versus new 2013 GS (WC).

Love the power of the new GS but adore the wind protection, fuel size and just the sheer size of the GSA. It looks and feels like a much more substantial bike than the GS. But I like gadgets, love the active suspension, modes and overall modernity of the GS.

Real tough dilemma. Used my GSA for a windy wet 300 mile ride out on Saturday. It was fabulous not to fill up all day, bomb down the motorways in comfort and then spend 70 miles on twisty lanes. The GSA does everything brilliantly. My hesitation is also if the new GSA comes out in October (Intermot) and is launched March 2014, isn't a new 2013 GSA going to drop in value hugely and feel very old school? I'd have to keep it for a few years even if I did like the new WC GSA.



Don't know what to do. One minute GS and one minute GSA, I'm going crazy. Even asked my 9 year old daughter her opinion. She'd go for the GSA, saying its bigger and safer. She thinks GS stands for GoodSpeed.

Any advice, apart from telling me to wait 9 months, is much appreciated.
