Default Two sets of wheels anyone?

I have the R1200 GS with alloy wheels and I was wondering if anyone has two sets of wheels and tires. Alloy with street tires and spoked wheels and semi road/ semi trail tires? I was considering this.

Anyone know the feasibility/ cost of a set of spoked wheels?

Feasibility good. Cost Expensive.

A spare set of spoke wheels with brake rotors will be $1000 ~ 1500 unless you get really lucky and find someone who doesn't know what they've been getting on ebay.

Also, if all you are doing is dirt roads the alloy wheels are good enough. If you're going to be doing some gnarly single track then spokes might be a good idea.
