I'm all over it...... the floor that is......barfing 
According to the BMW website, that thing holds 7.9 gallons of gas. I could deal with a bit of ugliness to get that much fuel in the bike. You could ride for half a day before stopping to fill up.
It's ugly enough to be electric!

Quoted from their site-
« The automated shift assistant (ASA)
With the automatic clutch operation, driving off and stopping is easier than ever. As an alternative to manually changing gears using the gearshift lever, the gearshift process can also be done fully automatically, so that you can concentrate entirely on your adventure. »
More:
« The adaptive vehicle height control ensures that you can reach the ground more easily, and also offers simplified handling. After driving off, your R 1300 GS Adventure automatically lifts itself by 30 millimetres. Shortly before you stop, it lowers itself again, so that you can easily get off the bike and put your R 1300 GS Adventure on the centre stand with the help of the comfort lift assistance.«

So much extra shit to go wrong, Ill keep it simple!

^^ Check out the FortNine video about that feature . (It looks like a motorized tool kit .)
I’ve been refraining from posting on this. My eyes won’t stop bleeding. For you air-heads, brings a whole new meaning to toaster tank. More like oven tank. That thing has to be one of the most hideous bikes I’ve seen in a long time. I’m barely over HD’s Pan Disaster (America). FYI, the ‘13-17 Stelvio NTX has a (claimed) 8.6 gallons, as an owner of one, it’s not far off that number.
People will likely line up to buy that disaster on two wheels. I can only hope the boat sinks that is bringing them over.

I have purchased my last BMW. Their new “designs” are atrocious. I looked at the R9T Scrambler before buying the V85TT—so glad I found the GTM website and made the right purchase decision in 2021.
“Oven Tank”, I was thinking septic tank. I like the older oil heads and all of the air heads (but never owned an air head).

That's a keeper. I've owned an air-head, oil-head and a brick (K100RS) - and ridden many others as a journalist. Their pricing and pretentiousness lost me a LONG time ago... Much less the Long Way Dumb McGregor lemmings.
Long live Guzzi for keeping it simple, and beautiful!
I wouldn't call Moto Guzzi's latest offerings (V100S,V85, V7, V9) "simple and beautiful".
My V100 has spent more time in service getting warranty work, than being ridden. Less than 2000 miles.
It's a fricking joke. A very very expensive joke.
Just last night, it threw more errors on the stupid dash.
It's about 3 heartbeats from being sold...
Meanwhile, my California Vintage works absolutely perfectly and never ever causes me a single moments pause.
Piaggio has taken one of the most beautiful, bulletproof motorcycles ever designed and built, and turned it into a shit show of epic and staggering proportions.
I'm totally over this new crap. It's just not good at all.
Mine are 2016 and 2017, nothing new in my fleet...
My V85TT has been great except for an intake air leak (likely caused by improper factory installation of the rubber intake Y manifold). I fixed it myself rather than arranging transportation to the dealer for warranty repair. It is not simple, but it is less complex than most newer vehicles and it is easy to read diagnostic codes using OBDII scan tool with adapter cable.
