As much as I’d love to, I still wouldn’t bother with electric yet. It’s nowhere where cars are yet. Real world mileage reports are shite.
New GS is looking good. Much more compact than the latest crop of ‘adventure’ stuff. That extras book is fucking massive.
You want capable or interesting? Why not switch it up a bit and try smaller? The Guzzi tourer looks good.

Id love to get one of the BMW blade runner esk scooters but yeah they are expensive and the mileage is shit.

Mileage was pretty good on test ride. Just need 90 miles per day of mixed riding. My concern is the company not existing which is a very real possibility.
I would buy a comparable BMW electric bike today if it has the range.
Not sure about smaller bikes. Had a Tracer 9 for a while and liked it but tank size and comfort in bad weather on the motorway were big reasons for going bigger.

1250GS needs to either be paid off or handed back in July. Been 4 years and I'm nearly at 20k miles.
It's had a couple of recalls, an ABS sensor issue, exhaust valve problems and has corrosion where the cylinder casings join the engine block. Balloon is £9k so fuck that.
Test drove a Zero DSR/X just before I went on holiday and I really enjoyed riding it but £16k for something that support could dry up for if they go bust is worrying and PCP deals are like 11%.
Off to test drive a new 1300GS Saturday. PCP is more around 8% and warranty is top notch obvs.
Anything else to consider?
Roughly 8k miles per year commuting (inc winter). 90 miles per day, 3 days per week ish.
