Loved my Gen1 1000GT with a TRE it was a great all round bike, now got a 15 plate Gen2 1000 in the Summer with the recalls done and think it is a worthy upgrade addressing most of the issues from the Gen1 for me, fantastic usable grunt low down in the rev range, build quality is much better, mpg is better (slightly smaller tank) two up/and or fully loaded touring is better, the bike doesn't even feel loaded up when on the move and rides are much more enjoyable, suspension especially the rear is better, braking is better, traction control is nice to have as is ABS, seat and comfort/riding position is better, only fly OE panniers are small to pretty much useless and curved beak is a bit meh.
