After 4 test rides I reckon it ain't for me. Yes it's fast and very agile and the ergonomics are good but even though I feel I should want to buy it something in the back of my mind is telling me no! Don't get me wrong, it's a great bike and I'm sure that if you own one you're thrilled with it but when I got back to the dealer on a whim I took out a GSA, it just felt right, cracking deals on them now, 2k worth of accessories from BMW and a proven (now most of the problems have been sorted) history, ? last/best of the air cooled boxer. So new triple black GSA it is then. Another bonus is all the bits from my GS will fit!
Enjoy your LC's, maybe in a couple of years when the new adventure has bedded in I'll join you but at the moment I'm one happy dinosaur:D
 
Always buy what you're happiest with. Though I do think the new LC engine in its current guise will suit the RT more than the GSA, will be interesting to see if they change the character of the engine at all.

I felt exactly the same and ended up with a TB GSA.
