Right lads, I will let you into a wee secret, but dont tell anyone.
My friend who works in BWMs research and development dept has recently informed me that the new 1230 adv will be introduced in spring 07.
I have seen the prototype pictures and I can inform you of the current specs.
Conventional forks with on board electronic adjustment
2 range gearbox offering low ratios for off road use. This will be optional.
Electric reverse gear.
Hydraulic centre stand.
Larger tank with smaller versions of the present clip on side bits incorporated into the tank itself, giving extra capacity.
Built in sat nav. optional.
Unuasually, a 20" front wheel . Wires only.
Finish is only in black or yellow, with all black engine transmission and final drive.
The tubular subframe is completely different with aluminium square section tubing being used.
Ive got a picture of it taken from the drive side, but I am not allowed to show anyone, or he will get the sack.
It will be well over 10 grand.
