Really surprised there going over the 100PS limit, German insurance companies will rub there hands as it will be superbike insurance over here then. Think BM will shoot emselves in the foot if it's true
cant say too much at mo, but couple of iminante changes regarding BMW R1200GS and 800GS/Adv
there will be a change to R1200GS model expect details reported / Launch November,,,poss Milan, along with 800GS launch, delayed due to technical issues with Chain drive, expect price for adventure model around 10k euro inc panniers details still sketchy on R1200GS but cosmetic (modern motard look ish like GX range) more power for non German Market and further reduction in wieght.
talian press have had some sneak released picutures to gauge public response. all favourable I am informed...
so pop along to nearest BMW dealer for some great deals on current range,,, at the end of the day, you gets what you pay for and the marketing guys are only looking to attract new blood to the BM vuptisch fold...
you read it here but forget that you've seen it,
I have just ordered my new R1200GS, they are too good a bargia to miss,,,,check out best loacl deal as dealers using concession from BMW to shift existing stock in various ways, many offereing finance or accessories but certain dealers like in Chelmsord are said to be offering the benefit in a csah back price reduction form, nice and simple but it shows that late used models are not worth buying as you can get a new one for same money...If you go to the said Essex dealer please mention that Bellyboy told you of the wonerful deals available....

All sounds good stuff re. how the GS is being updated 
However, love my bike so why would I want to change Absolutly no intention of selling now or in the near future - don't give a p1ss about the game the marketing men want to play. I bought my bike to ride, not to worry about its residuals, sod 'em,

A German prospective buyer had heard the same rumours on the Internet, and decided to ask BMW (duh...). Their answer was that the R1200GS will be unchanged for the 2008 model year (from August 2007). The only change will be an additional maintenance indicator in the dash.
Damn them! I've always hankered after an additional maintenance indicator
And what price my bike now that any Tom, Dick or Harry can have one with an additional maintenance indicator thrown in for nowt?

Hope it doesn't do a Triumph Tiger. The plot was lost a bit when the 955i turned into the 1050 (nice bike though the 1050 is)
