New GS-911
NeelsK:
Psaaaahhhh too much nagging nagging. I feel as if I somehow got married with out my knowledge just reading this forum ;) I am a very satisfied owner of a blu Prof version. In Qatar we serviced our own bikes so it was invaluable in our little riding circle. Since moving back to SA I've bought the new LC so my 911 is just gathering dust. Given that the bike only has 11k on the clock I haven't REALLY needed it (except for the 10k service where the dealer forgot to reset service indicator), but it is nice to have the functionality available hehe. So Stephan, sign me up for the new one! No rush. Tomorrow will be fine ;D In the mean time, if anyone has a need for a 911 blu Prof version, drop me a line.

In the future:
1: Do you plan on selling the "old" GS911 some years after the new is for sale?
(not everyone will need the added functions and web based interface- not all will want to pay the higher price?)
2: If you do plan on selling both units I hope both will have regular updates - free or not :-)
(the "old" for at least some years into the future)
3: I see a possible problem when owners of the "old" upgrade and want to sell the old on the web.
That will open up the market for counterfeit units :-(
Is it possible to make a register where a possible buyer can check if the unit they want to buy is a original one?
I do see lots of problems with that, legal, personal protection and so on.
Ok, I admit it was a silly question and suggestion ;)
Guess the only safe solution for buyers are to buy locally- so the seller can prove the updates work and the GS911 is a proper one.

One recommendation for pricing is to have a sliding scale from how long the older gs911 was bought.
I just bought one and it would really hurt if a new one was launched today :'(
Haakon:
It will not hurt much if your new ("old" GS911) do the same as the "new" does, on your bike?
The only difference will then be if it is "web" based or not- right?
I think the "old" GS911 will be updated with new software for years..
Bottom line is- Would you pay (guessing) 2 times the price to have a web based unit instead?
IF the one you have now do exactly the same as the new one?

PS: Yes, a "sliding scale" pricing for "new" GS911 buyers that want the new one instead is worth asking.
I do see lots of problems but...
IF you need and want the new edition I am sure you can easily sell it at a fair price, privately or online.
