I picked up my new GS three weeks ago and I’ve not looked back. If you have convinced yourself that you don’t need the Adventure, I say GO FOR IT.

Its a big and heavy bike but not so bad on the move .

No-one needs the Adventure unless they're planning some serious and extended unpaved road work.
Don't join the posers - get an ordinary GS and save some money

Now on day 8 of my new GS - even running in is great.
The bike has lots of character - the indicators seem awkward at first, the fuel gauge needs some mental adjustment & I've stalled it a few times - only once at the head of a traffic queue though, and sounded the horn unintentionaly.
I used my old honda yesterday to give it a run and wobbled for the first mile, it seemed so crude
.
The bike has all I need........ but for everything else theres Nippy norms!
Enjoy your new bike - but dont look back on what you may have had before!!

I agree
BUT....the new GS SE is a cracker, available next month and I would be tempted...not much more than my standard GS was 2 years ago (with a few bits added)

Crap.
Some prefer the looks of the GSA.
If nothing else, the GSA give the convenience of the large fuel tank. Officially 33l, but takes ~37l from near empty. Giving you a fully useable whopping range of ~350+miles on a tank without the hassle of refills at ~200m on a regular GS.
