Is the skyhook worth the money? Yes Would you be disappointed if you bought the non-skyhook bike? No. I decided the extra £3k could be better spent elsewhere but if the extra £3k is no problem then why not go for it? As for the BMW. They seem to have a lot of reliability issues.
I assume the Skyhook is the only version you just press a few buttons to change all suspension for loads of luggage, I know when I loaded mine right up to go to France change it to one rider and luggage, and it rode as if there was no luggage on it, if this is so, something to bear in mind if you travel a lot with weight
Boomer remember with sky hook if it is too harsh for you press a few buttons and you can change everything to get it right, as well having different settings for different roads all saved
Can't compare my GranTurismo to any bike on the planet it's just in another league of it's own.ridden since 17 and must of had 40 bikes can't remember how many,the sky hook is just un real flick of a switch and it's a different bike can't praise it enough.not slagging the non version coz I have not ridden 1,but can't imagine not having these electronics on my next flagship bike ( still ride other bikes ) just have to accept other bikes limitations prior to slinging my leg over em.
