I wonder if the GS will be offered in the Grey/Beige colour the RT now comes in

 

[snerkler]

These guys are slow, it was confirmed months ago that the new watercooled GS/GSA would not be launched until 2013 at the earliest The only thing that was then rumoured to change for next year was the colour, which seems to be the case now

Have to say I like the new blue and white F800GS, that looks really nice

 

[GrinningGSer]

I am so pleased that the best alpine white will be back for the GSA

you seem to be overlooking dynamic damping control - quote -
The suspension damping system DDC will be introduced to the first BMW Motorrad series motorcycles in the near future.

I didn't think that was rumoured for the GS/GSA yet

Ther OP stated 2012 not 2015.

makes sense to launch DDC on a touring model first

No, not seen your link. But I didn't think DDC was going to be ready for another couple of years or so anyway And then it will be on the tourers first I'd have thought.

Just need to just that beige seat. Awful.

White is nice, but the sand seat will last two days IMHO!

I think they should have gone back to the original colour, ie alpine white with red decals and red/black seat. By far the best colour scheme imo. I was considering changing mine to this until the recession hit my business.

It wouldn't last 2 seconds with me as I'd have removed it and put one on that's not so vile

Is it just me or is there a beige sticker on the centre tank panel.....?

Kind of alpine white meets Africa Korps....!

FP.
