I have the Motoscan Ultimate version, which I have found to be excellent...once you get to know your way around the App, its very easy. Just watch "The Old Mechanic" on YouTube and hes full of praise and useful tips and he has a sound Knowledge of the device.
Good luck with it

My Motoscan set up cost £69 for the adaptor and connection lead and the Ultimate version was around £49.
So total £118 or $146 for unlimited access compared to £333 to £400 or $414 to $497 depending on model/version you choose.
I wasn't that good at Maths...but that looks like a "No Brainer" to me

I have the Motoscan APP and same OBD-II adapter and and found it to be all I need and has worked well. There are 4 versions of the APP, Lite (free) , Basic ($13.99), Professional,($26.99) and Ultimate ($43.00) but nothing that cost $124.

I agree

I was looking at a Moto-Scan (hand held scanner site) that a license was $100 EUR/$124 USD, Not sure how one could confused Moto-Scan with MotoScan

MotoScan - smart scanner app for handheld terminals

At $49.99 its certainly more palatable.

and great value when you consider it's unlimited number of bikes

Yes, sort of. Wonder what percentage of motorcyclists ever use the 10 VIN spots on the GS911? I'd bet its very low.

it's a bit of a "Win Win" with the Motoscan...if your a DIY enthusiastic mechanic, or an expert, it's cheaper, or if you use a diagnostic/coding tool on many bikes it's cost effective way of avoiding an additional cost if you fill up the Vin spaces.
Have a good time with the Ultimate version, I'm sure it will win you over

I have a Motoscan Ultimate and a GS-911 setup. Functionality wise, my only complaint (to date) with Motoscan is: it cannot reset engine adaptations after synchronizing the throttle bodies (on a K25, at least). In my experience, this is imperative to ensure quick functionality of the bike - otherwise, you’re minding the throttle at every stop for a while. Other than that, it’s great!

Tech wise, the GS-911 wins hands down, IMO (unless you‘re an Android user) - the GS-911 has a built-in web server, so you can use it with any device with a modern browser. On the flip side, some if its functionality requires an Internet connection… I have not had to use either outside of the workshop.

I reset mine while doing the throttle bodies on my 2009 GS and had no problems, but I have heard other having issues...the software was mentioned on "The Old Mechannic" YouTube channel. about 4min 30sec in the video and refers to using the 911GS, so not only Motoscan.

2011 Started and ran fine after the stepper reset via MotoScan.

Glad the stepper motors reset...what do you think causes some bikes to react badly to the diagnostic/coding tools? the software issue has been mentioned, but as I'm new to the GS I haven't any glitches with mine YET!

Fooling with he MS yesterday I reset the steppers on the 2011 along with some other things to verify my patch cable was working. Reset when fine but i have not ran the bike to see if it screwed up anything. I'll start'er up this evening and report back.

Hope all is good...mine worked, so fingers crossed.
