1300 v. 1250 - the engine's better, the suspension's better, the transmission's better, its lighter, it has some useful tech (windscreen, ride height, adaptive CC). And if you really ride it, it's easier to pick up off road when dropped (at least it was when a buddy dropped his and I picked it up for him). Perhaps do a couple pushups a day and the sidestand won't be an issue.

I rode the 1300gs a month ago and didn't like it at all, not comfortable at all and it leans over too much on the side stand so difficult to lift. Compared to my 1250gs, its garbage.
