I have a very hard time doing stoppies on my 1200GS. My mates on superbikes seem to have no problem. My nuts take a severe hammering at each attempt and I am now considering giving up. Anybody have the same problem?

Give up, its not worth it, the weight transfer is handled differently on a GS and you really need to be giving it some to succeed IMO 
Switch the ABS off 
slow to 5 mph.
move weight forwards
pinch front lever (no need to turn off ABS)
Arse of bike in the air.
Arse of bike hits ground
Easy, job done. No effort needed. Easier than sportsbike (IMO)
Acclerate to 10 mph
Close throttle, slow to 5 mph
Crack open 1/4 inch throttle
Front of bike in air
close throttle
front of bike on ground
Just remember it's a hefty bit of kit and a quite a long reach to the ground.
