I posted a similar question a few days back regarding a R100GSPD vs a R1150GS. From that and also talking to my local mechanics and friends, I am of the opinion that I will sell the 02 R1150GS and proceed on the older bike for the following reasons: Selling the expensive bike puts more money for travelling; tires easier to find; parts easier to find; no potential of ABS-fuel injection wiring issues; weight; I won't mind dragging the old bike under a fence and getting it scratched up; old bike looks less 'steal-able'; there is sound advice in getting the old bike prepped for a long jouney; insurance/carnet is less.
Cheers,
Rene
