Here's a bold statement from the BM press release "More serene – a drive train that won’t let you down."
MMmmm
I quite like the look of the new bikes but so often "in the flesh" is different from pictures that I will wait and see.
Ooo!
The 2007 models look so passée now!
I have ordered a 2008 GSA and would have been fine with the 2007 version just as well. The 2007 model was the one that persuaded me to turn to the GS side, but unfortunately it could not be ordered anymore since Oct. I like both.Personaly I would not go for the ESA option and use the money saved to buy aftermarket shocks such as Wilbers once the standard shocks start to go off which the back one on my 1200GSA was doing after only 10,000 miles. Hate to think what BMW would charge to change a shock on an ESA equiped bike
Just to inform you about the final order I placed today, what is possible etc.
The R1200GSA 2008 is available with three packages:
Safety Package:
RDC, ABS and ASC
Options package #1:
Chrome exhaust, heated grips, BC
Options package #2:
Chrome exhaust, heated grips, BC, Enduro ESA, Extra Lights, Luggage holders
The packages are cheaper than everything seperately. The GSA 2008 turned out cheaper for me than expected.
The only thing i'm finding out are the minor details like LED blinkers, the 820mm seat that is supposed to be available. I chose the safety package, plus package # 1 and seperately the headlights and alarm.
Production week: 6
Delivery should be end of Febr.
, thats a long time to wait for a new toy though
And yes, a very long time since I already handed my 2006 F800ST over one month ago.
