I finally did it!
Yesterday afternoon, after a short 2 hour test ride on a 1200GS Adv, I asked my dealer to order me a standard GS and signed the papers.
Boy is that GS Adv. big, larger than my 1150 GS Adv., although you can definitely tell the difference, weight wise!
I would have loved to have ordered the Adv., as the road presence is a lot more, plus the weather protection a lot better. However, as part of the agreement with SWTSMBO to purchase a new, lighter bike, I agreed not to go with the Adv. again. Hopefully, I won't regret my decision to go with the standard GS, though!
I should find out on Tuesday how long I must wait, before the bike will be in the dealers, I was told to expect around 2 months, though!
Now, I just can't wait!
My final options were:
Hand protection
Heated grips
White indicator lenses
Chrome exhaust
On-board computer
Anti-theft alarm
Cross-spoked wheels
Integral ABS (partial)
ASC
I've just got to decide which engine bars to fit now!
