They're talking about a release date of around 2021. I'll be 66 when they come onto the market, which should just coincide nicely with me starting to look for a lighter bike.

Just of of interest who is saying 2021 ? Someone who was at EICMA was saying 2019 which isn't too bad but 2021, I can't wait that long as I'd be looking for a 12mth old one at least so that makes it 2022 !?!
Like Chas says it looks fairly production ready ?

And yet the 125bhp GS is rubbish until it's been "hilltopped"!It’s getting a new engine, with apparently 85BHP, which is a big step up from the V7 and the V9s. If it not too tall and not too heavy could be very interesting.
Don’t want 125 BHP, 85 would be fine, I’m told that most people don’t use more than 60 on the road.

I have no problem with that Chas, merely an observation on the other end of the spectrum where the GS gets flak for being underpowered and rubbish unless it's been breathed upon. Ironic, innit.

Having ridden with some of the hero's that "need 130 BHP" I can say that at least 90 of those 130 are completely wasted

You've misunderstood the point of a hilltop remap, it's not about peak power. Go back and read one of the threads properly.
(Or carry on talking shite.)
With respect, you have misunderstood my post. My post was ironic - it may have been 'shite' if I was being unduly critical of hilltop. I have no issue with the difference a 'hilltop' or similar can achieve, just with those who are quite so critical of the performance of the GS in standard tune.
GreatScot’s comment still stands. You misunderstood his post.....
A Hilltop tune is not about improving outright performance per se, it’s about smoothing out the fuelling, making the engine smoother pull better and ultimately a more pleasant riding experience.
Hell, I’ve even had my 1190R done and we all know they are a perfect bike to start with

Asked at NEC where he V85 was...salesman said the Italians only have one and dont want it scratched!
I did get a freebie MG mini tool kit though!
Well that's a shame, I was hoping to see it!
