Ive owned a GS and im sure JP will 
value for money its by far the best i brought mine new in nov 2010 was the latest DOHC engine vastly improved over previous years much more GRUNT twas a pre-reg so good saving i did 2500 miles around germany in may for 9 days, and 3500 miles going to imola (italy) for 11 days end of sept-oct, and the odd weekend ride outs and i took all my bling off and just sold the bike all i lost was £600 over the price i brought it new i doubt there is any other bike that holds its value as good as a GS, it used some oil as all do till about 30k i thrashed it a real goodun and it never let me down once.
Minced with sportsbikes to and fro italy with ease as you find you can ride a GS faster in the twisties than a spastic rocket due to the confidence it gives :rolleyes

I was going to Replace it with a Multistrada a full dancing n singing pikes peak or s-sport but they got serious issues no rear brakes, gearbox jumping out of gears, eletronics locking you out the list just goes on and on, so if any one is thinking about a used one think wisely no extended warranty can be taken unless you have owned from new :\ , (however bmw will extend the warranty on there bikes to any owner as long as bike serviced upto date and its not expensive for what you get) so tbh i dont think a MS is good value unless you prepared to loose a sh1t load of wonga, used MS bikes aint selling.
