Thanks all, I'm still lurking around for a while. I pickup my new bike tomorrow so no pictures yet. I'll also wait until I get the farkles on it! They all arrive within the next week and a half. I looked at waiting for the F850GS and there were a few things I didn't like. No adventure model so no large tank, and even the new bike has 1 less liter than the previous model. It's heavier. The tank is now in the traditional location which raises the CG. Plus, dealers are trying to clear out their inventory of 2017s so I got a hell of a deal. They also had a closeout on a LOW model but they don't provide an option for a center stand or pretty much any of the electronic features for the rear shock.
Thunder, check out this link on the tire diameter:

See ya'll soon!
