I’ve just read that a top spec will be around the £30k mark, if that’s correct I wish the new buyers the best of luck getting insurance, as there are reports of some dealers advising prospective buyers of the 1300 GS/A to confirm they can get insurance before buying.
More like Lego designed it

It's too angular for me. As I posted, it looks like something Lego made. I can see the similarity to the sharp edges of a KTM bike. The outgoing model looks more like it was designed in a wind tunnel, you only have to look at the front mudguard, which is smoother and more integrated to the wheel with round, smooth edges. If I can say a more friendly design.
