Yes the blue spots are very good. As you rightly say the GS's lack of dive, the whole bike sinks, so must be using rear suspension too? It does make it very settled.
Servo brakes - naughty or nice?

06 GSA servo brakes, 44000 miles, have had three headlight bulbs and one battery, ask Bahnstormers, they will tell you mine is better than most of the bikes they see.
Love the servo, you really know that you can stop in hurry when you need too, only had to once so far!
It can catch you out at slow speeds as it is pretty fierce.

I like how the BMW does not dive on the brakes. The front wheel is far better planted and there's no fork rebound when the brakes come off. I cover ground much faster with less effort. Yet there is not "that" much more power than the old Divvie 900.
There is a slight sitting down from the rear brake but it's no problem unless HH sintered pads are used at the back with standard front pads.
If that's still too much use HH sintered on the front with standard pads on the back.

Hmmm. Sintered eat discs for breakfast.
Never had to replace a disc yet, Thundercat, Firestorm - each used with EBC sintered HH, did 20K+ on each...
YMMV
ABS is one of those things where you'd rather say "that was a waste of money" than "god I wished I'd had it"
