BMW R1150GS to Audace to Stelvio?

So I put 40k wonderful miles on my 2003 BMW R1150 GS and last year I sold it for a 2016 Audace. 11k miles later I love this bike. There were some trade offs going from an adventure bike to a cruiser. First is the forward pegs and different suspension. Im 63 years old, 6'4" and 220lbs, so the GS fit me like a glove and handled any terrain. The Audace being a completely different animal is amazing in the twisties and very comfortable for my typical 3 hour rides in the Catskill mountains of NY. Forget about hitting a pothole or road bump, I have been bounced 6" off my seat and it's not fun when I can't lift my bass off the seat. So I'm wondering will the Stelvio possibly offer the best of both worlds? That wonderful transverse V-Twin motor in an adventure chassis! Any thoughts or comparisons are welcome. Thanks!

Ride it first. I love mine as do most people who own one, but you want to be sure as they are very different.

However if you loved the R1150GS, you will really love the Stelvio NTX but you will want to allow for the expense of the PC-V and Autotune 300 fueling setup from Todd in the STORE. This will transform the motorcycle to a whole new level of smoothness and tractability in fueling. It really changes the bike so much more for the better.
