how much do you need the off-road capabilities of the 1200GS? Have you thought of the 1200R?

Its horrible.
The standard R1200GS isn't an offroad vehicle its occasional/light use only. If you want the full blown version then its got to be the Adventure and then you can have the KTM for a lot less.

Have you seen the Norge in the flesh Gio? It looks much better than that picture!

No I haven't Bobbi, it sort of reminds me of a Deauville, but with a very odd bellypan that I think would make cleaning it a chore
