1200 GS ADV

[Desertbilly]

Thanks a lot Paul & Mike. It looks pretty good. I'm glad I waited.

It looks sort of stocky and ugly, but to me that's a good thing. It looks heavier, but I may be imaging that. I like the seat, and the nerf bars. The bags look good.

 

[Mike Werner]

The tank look spretty standard though....

 

[Mike Werner]

Paul, is there any blurb on the page, ie, tech data ????

 

[Lazy Paul]

You're welcome. Few specs for ya. 33 litre tank, MCN says theoretical 435 mile range, not quite sure how they work that one out. New ally handlebars with cross brace. Extra 20mm of suspension travel, wide footpegs, adjustable brake and gear levers etc.

Price £15,000!!!!!










only joking. c £9.5k plus extras

Thanks !! I nominate Paul as rookie of the year !!! You've made a big impact on your first posts !!

 

[Mr K]

Feel the luv!

No, I don't bloody work for them. However, despite Sun level journalism they have first pics of new ADV I've yet to see and I thought I'd let you lot know, given the level of interest in the bike. My first post..... wish I hadn't bothered now.

C'mon! Let's all have a group hug?

Thanks for the scoop!

Now that wasn't funny! Good to see you've pick up the spirit of the board! you !

 

[Fanum]

Hmmm....those lights'll be extras....I 'spect the bars will be standrad (ala 1150GSA) but the boxes and those cylinder guards will be TT extras.

It'll be good to see it in the flesh......I like it so far

 

[Lazy Paul]

If by TT you mean Touratech then the cylinder head guards are oem BMW not TT. I know just got them fitted to my 1200. Look much better than TT ones with all the crappy studs on them. Fecking expensive though.

Wonder if it'll have a diff breather and high-level air intake....

 

[Alte Wolf]

Spokes and nobblies ...

Hope the alloys and Tourance are not extra

Apart from that I think I might actually ................ like it a wee bit Mmmm

 

[Mike Werner]

You think they fixed the brake problem. I hope it doesn't have linked brakes !!

 

[ktmmark]

Wonder if the bmw beak will be cheaper than the tt/ wonderlich ones

 

[BTBR]

Well thanks Paul, new to the site and beaten the rest of the tossers to the scoop picture of the year.

Well done that man.

Although, it did make me curse more than little when I saw the first price. yep, yer had me fooled as well.

Cheers

I notice they have not beefed up the underside, also the windscreen looks as though it has grown which has to be good. Hard to tell whether those side panels have gone?

But like Fanum like what I see so far could be worth the trip to the NEC.

[Mike Werner]

It's growing on me !!!! Must be getting old and senile!

 

[JAY]

I thought that the official launch will be on Thursday morning at 10:30 - ie Press day. I'll be there in the afternoon hopefully drooling all over it

HEY!!!!

I didn't go that far.....run the gauntlet of all those Brummie accents???

No thanks

 

[Yellow Peril]
