Is the upgrade worth it?
I think you need to get some hard numbers first to weigh that into the decision. What the trade in is worth, what are your out the door costs, what will the new insurance rate bring to the table etc. Then weigh all of this against your real riding needs, not the afternoon fantasy need that you just fulfilled with the demo ride, but your everyday real riding needs. Do you require luggage. While the 12 offers that now the 11’s luggage system is better. Is passenger comfort a factor? And so forth.
I like the 12 a lot and would buy it over the 11 but that’s because I live 1 hour from the newest race track in Canada and have hit the track every month this summer and plan on racking up another 5 to 7 track days this summer. A 12S would fit my needs perfectly but an 11S would probably do me just as well.
