I have mixed feelings about getting a new motorcycle. The 2010 R1200RT has gotten me to some amazing places over the ~7.5 years I've had it. It's out of the extended warranty period, though, and has nearly 160,000 miles on it.
The features on the newer bikes, such as water-cooling, tire pressure sensors, and better integration with the GPS receiver, make a compelling case for an upgrade.
So, I put a deposit on a 2017 R1200GS Adventure today. I'll have a new bike to farkle shortly.
I have one more longish ride on the RT this coming weekend, then it'll be time to retire that bike.
