Speculation.

I say, if you've got the money, spend it !! 

You never know what's round the corner.

Sometimes though, its better the devil you know and keeping what you have will cost less than changing to something that's ' not run in yet ' with no real additional benefits.

If Carlsberg made the GTR it would probably be the best bike in the world! My GTR is great and I love it to bits. It has now done 30000 miles and is going strong.  Would it be worth my while to change it for a younger model and spend money or keep ongoing and keep my money. What does the team think? And no I don't want a BMW!

PRD I loved my 2009 bike but with the big service due and a rear TPS to be replaced I wasn't going to see much change out of a grand.
It was a no brainier for me
So I shopped around and with the trade in and the grand I didn't spend added some to it and bought my 64 model with remaining warrenty and extended it 2 more years so if you can afford it change up to newer.
Also all my extras fit so it was just a case of remove from old bike and refit

A serious question turns into a farce. Love it!

Well you started it!

All this makes me smile.  If you can't have fun and poke at your friends, what's the point?
