Good question. This is my first boxer twin. Always admired them. Now I have the money and time. Did my homework and know a "camhead" is right for me. Was totally thinking R1200R but I also wanted touring capability. Most R1200R folks figured this out and many come with luggage and a windscreen. A "compromise" bike. I do NOT want an RT with the big full-body fairing.
Then I noticed how popular the GS bikes are. They are friggin' EVERYWHERE. Then this one came along. I thought it would be worth a try. We'll see. If not, I can prolly sell it in a heartbeat. She's a BIG girl and I'm not a big guy, so this fling might not work out but I will give her a fair shot. There will be little or no off-roading for us but many say the GS is ideal for everything including touring. Sort of like a swiss army knife.
