I've owned 2 GSs and ridden a GSA regularly. I'd stick with the GS because I don't want to ride a bike so long that the big tank comes into its own and the GS is cheaper.
In relation to the smaller capacity GSs, they are great bikes and no doubt better off road due to less weight and funny front wheels. If you intend to go touring with luggage and take a pillion, the larger capacity GSs will be better IMHO but like others, I have seen all types of bikes up mountains with loads of gear and two up and they seemed to be having a great time!
What a wonderful dilemma to have hey!?

congrats on your purchase,the big tank is useful if your commuting. My commute is 52 mile round trip on my last bike, a 1200gs I would be refuelling by Wednesday but on my spankers 1250 gsa I can go all week on one tank. Which is wot JJH said. not every ride is a trip across the Sahara is it. welcome aboard!

Good to play the dealers off against each other. Have you tried Lind in WGC and Reiten Motorrad?

Welcome, and this is my local dealer. I work in MK and live just outside Northampton, so no doubt see you around! I'm a recent GS convert, and am due delivery tomorrow, fingers crossed.......
Don't be worried by that corrosion remark! I doubt that they are any worse than other bikes
If they were that bad why are so many people on this forum on their 3rd, 4th or 5th GS?
I have owned 3 and had no problems with any, never felt the need to post that on here but I suppose if you do have a problem then you might post about it

honestly i just want to make sure am paying the right price,, so far both dealers quoted the same the only difference is the delivery date,,
what surprised me
the fact that its 2019 model being purchased just before 2020 models and that didn't effect the price at all they both said it will go up and not down,, i know BMW wont change anything on the 2020 model except maybe the colors but still.
