Wow from a video and pics you can deduce the bike has shittier brakes. If they have ditched Brembo, are Brembo the only people who can make decent brakes then? Or should we just wait for the ride reports, jealousy creeping in maybe
Jealousy? How so?

About not having the capacity to get worked up into a lather about a bike that isn’t even released yet .
Best ever GS to date, the man from Germany says.
Cannot Wait to have a go, I hope they have taken notice of the past issues and really have made the best GS to date.
Here's hoping
Like paint? I bloody hope so.

No, about how peeps on a GS site, who have decided to ride something else, just spend all their time droning on about how crap GS's are. Like I said earlier I don't ride a GS either, but am willing to wait and see what new bikes from any manufacture are like before making assumptions.
I Just ordered a Rallye without ESA, but with few other bits added, for a March delivery. Much prefer the black engine and drivetrain rather than the silver ones.
Had previous LC’s, both GS & GSA, and previously owned a Multi & a KTM SMT. I still think the GS works the best for me. The one feature that no other adventure bike can get close to equalling for me, is the quality of ride that the Telelever system delivers.

So what’s your jealousy comment about then?
What I meant was, you don't own a GS, so now you are jealous that BMW are bringing out a new model. I did also but a smiley at the end, so it was tongue in cheek.

No TFT for the RT
RBW.
RBW.
Bike Social have already said the the TE Exclusive will be 16,500 (currently 15,930). Available in the UK from 13th October. Think it looks the business myself.
I'm guessing to turn the HP (Rallye) version into an actual HP will require a HP kit, so probably around 18K in all.

The brakes look very similar to Brembo M50
Why would I be jealous about BMW launching a new bike though? If I want one, I’ll buy one.
I’m buying a new bike in March, there’s a good chance it won’t be a GS, but I’ll take the new 1250 out for an extended test ride before I make my decision. If they’ve addressed the issues that steered me away from the brand, and make the bike more involving to ride, then I may well buy one.

Perhaps they will engineer in the KTM high speed weave and wobble, that will make it more involving

They’d need to make it do over 140mph first
Agreed! A swimming pool?? Now if they had one in the deep end and some bloke rode it up a ramp and out onto the grass, as the 'reveal', that would've been pretty cool. I just skip jumped my way through it....very dull!
Not sure either, but give it time...

So similar to Paningale then Fred, that makes sense.
There's a simple answer to that and it begins with a 'Y'.
If they've ditched Bimbo's to save a bit of cash that's a very stupid decision. Not that I'm enamored with the one's on my 1290 - they need a good pull and lack feel, but I reckon that's the ABS and not the calipers at fault.
