Am I the only person who finds the standard 1200 seat comfortable then?

I find it comfortable all day long, but I only weigh 11 stone.

Diesel........It's the future of long distance touring........Or at least that's what I think
Don't know where the Ad-Blue will end up but 48mpg on a GSA30 compared to 125mpg on a EVA-Track DCI800 makes sense to me especially when you're just pootling about at 55mph. Fuel costs on a two week 3 to 4000 mile trip can't be ignored these days, either that or i'm turning into a real miser.....!
As for the 'next generation' GS I think it's pretty sorted for comfort and I don't need 135bhp from a watercooled boxer if that's the way it's heading

So those who want no canbus are prepared to go back to heavier, less reliable conventional wiring?
And before you cite 'all the things that go wrong with it', think
Canbus is one thing from the 12xx generation that I'd happily have on my lebbenfiddy (in conjunction with a fused aux wiring box in an easily accessible place
There also seem to be a lot of people who have bought completely the wrong frikking bike if their wish lists are anything to go by

Even BMW agree about the diesel aspect, but I can't find the article about it where they mention that they are seriously looking at Diesel. I personally think Diesel is the long distance bike in roughly 5 years time.
Other things would be:
Comfy seat (this has been requested for years - why do they ignore us?)
Taller bike - well, just for me as I'm a fecking giant
HID lights as standard.
Less computers controlling stuff around the bike
Adventure engine bars

Nope - I'm totally happy with the seat on my GSA
