New Car or New Bike? Decisions, decisions

Yeah, solid call!

I haven't owned either a Toyota or a motorcycle in many years, and I'm most likely at 75yo to never own another bike. I envy you.

Everyone's riding career comes to an end unfortunately, I'm getting arthritis in my hands so I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to ride. At 75 you can still buy and drive a Toyota :-)

Those are two very nice motorcycles. I had a 2014 R1200GSA and really enjoyed it.

No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

I googled a picture of your R1250GSA, and it looks ready to do the East Africa Safari!

If somebody were to offer me an R100RT, I'd take it and damn my age!

I looked at it, and a couple others on the website. I really can't spend that much money on old bikes, sorry to say.
