I sold my 08 K1200 GT and bought a 2014 DLX about a month ago. I was looking for simplicity and the GT was just too complicated. It was my first BMW and while I appreciated it's massive power and creature comforts I felt that it was an explosion waiting to happen, too many service bulletin's and warranty work. Additionally, I am 66 years old been riding for 50 + years and although I'm in excellent shape the GT was way too heavy. I love the classic look of the CB, yet it's pretty sophisticated. It's smooth and deceptively fast, gearbox is buttery and is handles well enough. All in all I don't miss the GT. JMHO
