I'm firmly in the Italian camp: But wouldn't accuse the R1200 GS of lacking in technology.
Just because it still uses the flat twin layout there is a temptation write off the whole bike.
(though it is ugly).
Italian bikes used to be all about style over substance, rusted and failed to start: there have been some AWFUL Italian motorbikes -Those days are long gone and Ducati of all people don't need to make excuses....
Hey! If you've got grey pubes or residual values turn you on more than individualism then you're not going to buy some edgy Italian bike are you?
This bike is not going to worry BMW.
