I'm in the exact same boat. I really like the Sport Touring genre and have a BMW R1250rs and I'm eagerly waiting the new R1300RS , Less weight more power.

As a touring bike I think the R1250RS does a great job, really good mpg, performance, good handling on the right tyres and all that warranty . Too heavy though.

In the meantime I keep looking at a last of the breed K1300s Msport as an additional bike. Motorrad better hurry up !
I put 56k miles on a K1300S Sport and 50k miles on a K1300S M/Sport. They're great bikes but if the weight of the R is an issue for you the K is not any lighter.

The lighter alternative is the SD1290GT.
