There are some GS owners past and present on here, but this is an RT forum. I would join UKGSER, there is masses of GS experience on there. But be warned it can be a brutal place, moderation is not that strict.

Re: Looking at a 1250GS
Welcome to the forum, my main riding buddy owns a 1250 GS (not GSA).
The RT Forum is the gentlemen's forum.
At some of the RT ride outs and meets, GS owners do mingle with RT owners.

Only when we have to, and we won't admit it in public
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

Re: Looking at a 1250GS
Yes, but the GS rider had the sense to syphon the diesel from the tank before the ride the day after. The RT rider who filled his RT with Tractor fluid not so much

Re: Looking at a 1250GS
That's a lovely looking bike. I steer away from red bikes/cars but that is stunning. Never seen one like it

It's one of a limited edition of 100 "Iconic" Wethead RT's, produced in 2016 but not designed to run on diesel.
