2010 GS indicator switch

[REGS12]

Are my eyes glazing over or did I really see a "normal" indicator switch on next years' DOHC GS ? My GS12 still toots the horn when things get a little hectic while turning left. Sadly I've done 30,000 km on it and still have trouble.

Was it one of the photos which was circulated? - I think one of them came from an RT...

I thought it was a GS. Anyway if the penny has finally dropped I would say they will do it for the entire range.

It would be about time if they did change to a normal setup. I have got used to the switches on my 06 GS but would much prefer an ordinary set up.

"theyve gone all japanese," is wrong, they have simply gone conventional. Car switchgear positioning is standard these days so why not bike?

Unfortunately I have read that the new setup is a bit flimsy (70's jap quality) which is another issue.

Pic of the 2010 yellow GSA from the show in LA. You can still see the old indicator gear.

why change a prefectly good system just cos all jap bikes are different doesn't mean they are better

Also shows a handlebar brace which certainly never came on my '08. Do they serve any real purpose other than another mounting option for SatNav's?

What all this 'all jap bikes' nonsense? It's all other bikes (except Harleys).

People who've actually seen the new bike claim BMW went back to a single spark plug also.
So,with the extra savings,...comes back the handle bar brace..!
