Good luck with the GSA. If you have time could you compare it to the XT?

I am the same as you, never owned a M/C other than a BMW until the S10. I might go back one day, but I like the S10 a lot, but if I did it would be for either a R1100 or R1150GS.

I think if I ever went back to BMW it's going to be an 1150 GSA as well. Used and broken in. I'll just plan on an FD replacement in my costs.

Enjoy.
The servo brakes kept me away from the 1150 series, the braking was very grabby and till 2004 the ABS had a nasty habit of kicking in when braking over bumps, leading to some Oh Shit moments. They were much improved on the 1200s but I still didn't like the idea of being left with 20 percent residual braking if the servo system failed.

If I am stuck on the side of the road and we are riding together I better plan on waiting a little bit for a ride. Ha.

...Have fun on that German iron. I've owned 8 Beemers. I wanted dependability and found it in the YamaMama supa10.

Enjoy the ride and smile - you're on a bike, what's not to like.?

I love to ride, my goal is 20,000 a year. I have owned 60 or so bikes and I think I enjoy the hunt for just the right feel and never seem find it for one reason or the other. The next bike on the list is the Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX. I am going to wait till next year when I can find one with a few miles for a great deal.
When I sold my Harly for the Ten, and older friend pointed out that getting rid of the Harley didn't make me a bad guy. It made me a guy who likes to ride. Happy trails.
And if you're serious about the Stelvio, check Fredericksburg Motorsports. A days ride from you and they have an '09 in excellent condition around $8k. I test rode it before choosing the Ten. Previous owner had all scheduled service done at the local BMW shop.

09 is a nice bike but I want the 2012-13 bigger tank and few other great up grades. I was quoted with factory alum side bags and a list of std features brand new 15,200.00 OTD in Ga then I pay Tn tax. $1200 ouch BUT thats alot of bike for 5k less than BMW< but resale is going to tough. I will find a deal at some point.
