It looks like younger brother is trading his Honda CT in for a 1250 GSA with all the options.
What, does he like visiting dealer's service departments? Something he'll have been deprived of during his Crosstourer ownership .

The CT has been faultless only the centrestand pivot issue.
Oh the embarrassment of it. I'll have to emigrate. They know not what they do.

As you know I cannot fault the BMW GS. On my 3rd now and yes it's the latest all singing and dancing TE.
Loads of power and I still can't bring myself to plug in the Pro chip!
Tried the XR and while it was fun I couldn't see myself lasting all day on the 'seat'

Apparently it does everything except make the coffee.
He calls my TDM the old nail, but I like the light weight of it.

Isn't it related to how much the rider uses the fun control in hare mode, instead of tortoise mode ? ?

What is tortoise mode???? I don't believe the TDM's ever had that fitted, only honda could dream up such a pointless thing.

The price of modern bikes is getting a bit eye watering isn't it. Plus they're all getting so complex I can't believe they'll be anywhere near as reliable as my 900 when they get to that age.
Hare and Tortoise lol. That’s a bit of a hangover from the control panel icons on the access machines I used to work on.
My first driving test had that. 4 gears on one lever. 2 forwards and 2 reverses on another lever. Knock one of the levers across to switch between hare and tortoise. Separate a push button overdrive. 32 forward and 32 reverse gears

Was reading on the GS forum about all the settings and adjustments on the latest bikes. Seems quite a few don't bother using any of them once they've set their bike up.
I remember waiting at Calais for the ferry and Doddy getting one up on Sidey as Doddy's GS (newer model) automatically adjusted the timezone on his satnav when we crossed one and Mick had to manually adjust his.
