      I think that's reasonable, compared to the current 1250GSA. The clutch lever should be replaced with a rear brake lever.

      But if you spec them up it’s a completely different thing. My Tramuntana with luggage was £25k. Having said that I couldn’t be happier with mine. I’ve had zero issues whatsoever. It’s my first GS and I’m glad I didn’t wait for the Adventure as I really don’t like the looks at all. I do feel that new design concepts are a good thing and you are never going to design a bike that everyone will love.
      Great video
