I need a new key for a GS 1200 ... Dealer quote is approx. £60. Just bog standard
Is this Par for the course /
I don't have the plastic wallet key

is that for a coded key that can start the bike or just a dumb key with no transponder to unlock luggage and the seat?
I have a keyless R1200RS and bought a dumb key online, cut from a photo, just to enable me to unlock the seat without fishing in my jacket for the transponder key then leaving the key in the seat lock! Cost £16 from https://www.keysinthepost.com/ in 2016
the GS always had transponders in the keys from birth according the the parts from 2002

About 10yrs ago (maybe more?) Some group took a photo of Angela Merkel's finger print from a glass she touched at a conference. From that they 3D printed a silicone finger and were able to unlock her phone with it... Obviously she was in agreement to the 'experiment'. But an interesting exercise...The 2011 does have a transponder chip, the rubber perished on mine recently so I purchased an aftermarket key and had it cut, then dug out the transponder from the original key and put it in a slot in the new key. By the way, these keys can be cut from a photo
