Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Owned one for a couple of years and put about 18k miles on it. It's tall and feels like the weight is all high up (pretty much the opposite of a boxer twin if that makes sense?).

Good Stuff

1. Comfortable enough for 700 miles over a 14 hour day across minor roads in France.
   
2. With the standard screen in the highest setting and an MSA spoiler I'm sheltered enough to ride at 60mph with visor up (I'm 6'2").
   
3. Well enough equipped - quickshift; cruise; electronic suspension; keyless go; quick shift etc.
   
4. Panniers and top box are well integrated and good capacity
   
5. Economical (at least compared to my BIL's S1000XR).
   
6. Sweet handling
   
7. V-Twin :)
   
   

Less good stuff

1. Power - I can imagine that for touring with a pillion you might want
   the V4 (or at least something with another 30hp)
   
2. Weight high up (as mentioned - Do. Not. Drop.)
   
3. Cost of ownership, both expensive to buy and maintain (unless you do
   your own spannering)
   
   

Wouldn't swap it for anything. Did a trackday at Castle Combe on it and it was brilliant!

Cheapest one I could see on ebay is £7999 (2019 / luggage / 15k miles). Seems quite £££. Edit: New model out next year, might knock second hand values?
