don't mind me asking, what's your height ? i find it very challenging  to use the double stand, i tried a few times and failed, maybe my technique is wrong
*
there's a pedal on the double stand, step on it, drop it to the ground, and then continue to stand on it
right hand, prepare to pull something on the bike, like a pannier rail or rear grab rail, or footpeg subframe

with your body weight, the center stand will keep the bike up, and then the right hand pull upwards to add to your body weight

try this video, but add the right hand to grab on the bike, and pull up to add to the down force:

get GS, riding gears also need to follow premium riding gears.

KLIM gloves, pants, that Marrakesh jacket, bmw M-system boots.

Schuberth C5 or E1,zumo xt2 etc etc..
While Africa Twin, I no prob with all Kushitani, Dainese.

I really dont know the cost of maintaining GS and AT in the long run.

Coz I dont think I will use it in short period. Min 5yrs

look around, how many users of each bikes
BMW parts vs Honda parts, I hear BMW parts come faster
- even Japanese brands sucks nowadays
