Thanks for the heads up. I began looking for one of these just yesterday. Good timing

Thanks GG. I'm not stuck on WiFi so $299 looks even better.

I have a USB GS911 for my F800St and was told this wouldn't work on the LC boxer engine.

Are you saying I don't need to buy a WiFi variant and can use my USB?

OK, thanks for confirming

Well, I have found out a bit about Euro 4 and the effect it has on the RS.

I ordered (and received) my GS911 - thinking that I was going to get the one with the matching round adapter for my RS.

I ended up with one using the rectangular adapter and I was moderate to major pi55ed off, so I wrote to the local distributor (Motohansa in Sydney).

I was calmly advised that since Euro 4 has come in, it is now mandated that all vehicles use the 16 pin rectangular port which is the one fitted to the newest GS 911s. An adapter cable is needed to retrofit the Euro 3 bikes. Likewise, if you have an older GS 911 with a round port, you have to get the opposite cable to fit the 16 pin port.

I was also told that the newest GS 911 is the rectangular port model, so, either way, time marches on and more money is needed....

I guess that those who have a Euro 4 model can take off their battery cover and see if the port is now rectangular (like on my Volvo), just to confirm the advice I was given.

The 'Net offers 10 pin round to 16 pin rectangular for about $20.00 US. The price for the cable from Motohansa is $58 (incld. shipping). I suspect the cables are identical, but I was not prepared to take the chance of it being wrong for roughly $30 after spending hundreds last week.
