The salesman called me yesterday saying it sold, asking if I had the owners manual mentioning it wasn't under the seat. I did have it in 2005, but somehow it remains lost-in-the-move from PA to GA. He told me a (newbie) young guy bought it . . . .
his first bike!! 
FYI, I took my wife Ann on her first F800 ride to visit Boxer and Jenny to join them in a couple of pizzas at his great local place, The Gondolier. She like the old bike's wider seat's comfort better. I think Phil seeing and hearing the F800 bike run motivated him for a lengthy dealer test ride. I was on call to help with Phil's OilHead transmission removal for the spline clean/check/lube and that still can happen if job security, the economy or family finances prohibits a new bike purchase.
The dealer making the profit on GoldBoxer Phil & I know about is part of doing business. There still is a risk it will be eaten up by any future failures, but it's more likely they will make even more money servicing it and repairing the crash damage to it.
". . . . that moves very fast and is smooth as silk. (F800ST)
I know. I like that. I also am a little thinner around the front, which places me (that much) closer to the bars!! The weight reduction was the most dramatic change and what I sought to improve in a new bike. Your judgment was prolly clouded by getting off your fully overloaded R1150R and getting on to the much narrower much lighter F800ST with empty bags! The mirrors get adjusted when you stop and they hold the setting. About that fuel economy, my first 2 tankfuls: 58MPG and 63MPG. Still only ~480 miles on it so it's not broken in yet. Oil on the dipstick is still on the full mark and still from-the-bottle brand-new-clean looking. I knew right away it would need Barbacks and GoldValves to make it exceptional, then it'll be much better than GoldBoxer. I just couldn't resist the DOHC water cooled motor and it's radically fast no-load RPM burst on a throttle whack. That instantaneous response also shows up out on the road, while it's still able to accelerate smoothly, snatch free, from 2,000 revs in 6th gear.
I cannot ignore the voice of experience telling me your keeping the 79K mile Dominatrix another 3 or 4 years will be costly and I think, a bad investment. The major parts near the end of their service life (and those
BEYOND that) have a punishing, gasping, costly total. Add to that the Service Dept labor required to change them and you wish you made the other choice. R1200R? Other than a new Guzzi Breva 750 or 1100, I'd say it's your best choice for the riding you do, especially since you love the impressive roadworthy abilities of the Boxers so much. The HexHead's dramatic performance improvements, easier maintenance, even better fuel economy, will make you happy. The big monthly bike payment should not be the deciding factor for a guy over 60 (like me!). I was tempted to ride an R1200R, but knew I might not be able to resist it's younger-hotter-sister appeal. I was actually dazzled by the dramatic weight reduction and redesign changes that eliminated many of the R1150R's servicing hassles like the slave and battery accessibility. Then I choked on the non ABS bike's MSRP, the thought of routinely overheating in traffic and maybe having to worry about the driveline after the 3/36 is up.
My take: You only live once and life is too short to be riding untrustworthy worn out old bikes. For you it's prolly the R1200R. For somewhat slenderer, more flexible 152 lb me, it was the F800ST.
PS
Thanx for that sneaky
last picture of my bike!!
.
. I like the look of the 800 ST but I guess I'll hang onto the 2004 R1150R for a while.
