Just had the itch to trade in my 2012 F800GS for an upgrade and after much oscillation pulled the trigger on the 2019 1090r and have not looked back since. Already have put 700mi on her in 2 weeks and in the process of upgrades and yes you will be envious due to her out the door price (11.985) yes with 1500mi on her clock (which cost the dealer an additional KTM skidplate for misadvertising) but still has full warranty and enough spending change to add all the goodies needed to make her bulletproof.
KTM skidplate
Heated grips
12vt receptical
Tusk center rack
KTM center stand
Barkbusters
Hope to catch up with those whom call the 4 corners there home.
Peace out, Subvet7

I also made the switch from a F800GSA to the 1090R (in 2017) and have zero regrets. Loved my bmw, don’t get me wrong. But It’s just not comparable to the performance of the 1090R

I paid more for my bike, but honestly, after coming from BMW it still seems like an amazing deal! No regrets, (other than the power parts skid plate which I replaced within the first year/9,000 miles)
