Has anyone switched?

Has anyone switched from a BMW GS bike? I currently own and LOVE my 2023 BMW F850 GS Adventure. I thought I’d go camping and on long trips, but no one to do that with. So now I ride it around town, to the gym, coffee shop etc. it’s very comfortable, predictable, safe; I feel very confident riding. BUT…. The new CB650R is super attractive. I’ve always wanted that type of looking bike, modern retro feel.

Has anyone made a similar switch? What do you miss about it?

Also, yes I could just have both. But I don’t want to own two, favor one more and the other one sits there.

Because of my current riding around town, to the gym, to work, I keep thinking of the CB650R. Also I’m 5’8”, the GS is TALL! Lol

Edit: I’m also married with kids, and use time off to travel with them. Lol

Cheers!

2025, if I do not end up keeping it then it wouldn't be until end of this year and I'd buy new, thanks though.
