BMW 1200GS ADV vs Honda XR250 electric start

This is just a little variation on the usual theme.

The question here is not which bike you would like to ride around the world, or even around the block. No, the difficult riddle I'd like to set is which bike would you rather try to get upright when you've had a little mishap.

Has anyone fitted an electric winch to their BMW?
