tl;dr version - aaaaaah, that's better.
Mopeds down (so sad), "touring" down, "sports touring" flat, every other capacity and style up significantly.
Even BMW-man doesn't buy GSes in December though: the V-Strom 650 mopped up both the "adventure sport" and 125-650 categories. On modest sales though, December seems to be all about the 125s.
Honda came a clear 1st, and Yamaha only just managed to beat off a hard thrust from Lexmoto. The other marques are just selling gloves and neck tubes.

£5400? The sticker price is meant to be £7K which is pretty optimistic. I take it that customers and dealers don't share Suzuki GB's delusions.
BMW tends to add an electrically assisted discombobulator or similar to the GS early every year, so sales do go slack while punters await the new model.

Actually £5599.  Plus about £150 OTR presumably. Still, not bad. When the Nazi Tractor turns on me (as the treacherous Hun always does) I reckon a V-Strom 650 is as good as anything to replace it with.
Old technology means no surprises, right?

The differences are obvious.
One has a K-Pipe and the other does not

I want to like the strom but there's something about the looks of it. It's a bit scootery. I'll get my coat  |

Don't worry boss, I was being a knob. These issues really only effected pre K3 models ie 12-13 years ago 
The engine is much the same, but they have improved on the bits attached to it. |

In 2 years and 26000 miles I never had any problems with my SV (K1). Just consumables!
Not the most exciting or engaging motor but well proven
