Anyone look at the new Suzuki GSX-S1000GT or GTA?

Don't have to have a center stand but makes tire repairs and chain lubing easier.  Lot harder to remove a wheel without a center stand.  I do lots of solo trips of 5,000 mile or more.  Having the center stand gives me more options.  I will also load the bike on the center stand as it is easier to get the sidecases mounted and the duffle bag strapped down evenly on the back seat.
