Very nice....

A full review of that beauty after you get some miles on it. Mpg, maintenance, leg room. You know the normal stuff.
I plan on keeping the NC untill it dies but have always lusted after a GS.
Out and about on it some today. I'm impressed...
Are you going to Beemerphile farkle it or leave it stock?
Sounds like a great bike - and not to insult anybody - a step up. The NC700X is a great platform and does so many things well - for the places and kinds of riding I do - but it needs to be ~1,000cc or something!?! And to it's credit for my next bike I'm trying to figure out how close I can get to the NC700X but with bigger engine. I'm not looking for off-road character like the AfricaTwin - that's what my CRF250L is for - but a lighter weight adventure style road bike, tubeless alloy rims, . . . to run the old highways out here with. (P.S. I never really understood - the BMWr bikes are aerodynamic - and spendy - but they put those horrible boxy metal "ammo-cans" on them as saddle bags ?!?)

For what you see on the website is $14K a good price?
If/when BMW comes out with a GS that doesn't require a hand clutch, I'll put my order in.
I am still thinking of this 2012 "old model" or a newer LC one.
I like the Triple Black.
TBH, I have had zero chance to try the LC with my busy week schedule.I am not won over to the LC motor yet. My choice was between the Triple Black and the Rallye. I finally decided I like the Rallye better. I thought you drove the 2012 camhead and decided that you didn't like it? Although, some of the complaints you listed about it are definitely not present on my example. Maybe the particular bike had "issues".
