Great place to buy from, Rainbow.
At the bike show in Brum, the GS1150s on display did not have the EVO brakes but the Adventurer did. On the Ad. the brake lines were braided, and I hoped that my GS with Evo would also be. Not so, but I found a web site that indicated that the GS could have steel braided pipes under the rubber. I think not, but who knows. The BM reps at the NEC had not idea what the EVO brakes were on the ordinary GS. I even e mailed BMW GB but never got a reply.
All the liturature tells me that the EVO brakes are better than last years model. The usually quoted figure is 20%, but I still do not know how.
The calipers may be bigger but are still 4 piston. The discs look the same size as my old 1100. The pads look different, and I believe the compound is more metalic. One web site seemed to think that the brakes are linked but I doubt this as it goes against BMW's '0ff-road' philosopy.
So, still baffled.
Thanks for your reply.
