I don't quite understand why a paint scheme should cost more, especially black

Are the 2013 bikes significantly different to the 2008 bikes in any way other than this year's must-have colours ?

And some

if you look at the pictures of the standard 1200GS in blue or silver you'll notice a very big change to the gearbox & final drive................

Sorry, was only referring to the F800Gs. You know: the proper Adventure bike I have no interest whatsoever in those lardy bikes

at The MCN yesterday

I think it was an F800 BLACK couldnt be sure

and behind that the F800 blue trophy is different

but have to say the Bumble bee is an eye catcher note the old style indicators to match.

silver swing arm and frame is different

You'll know when my man bag slaps your mush ! And no, it's not a euphemism for scrotum

I always assumed that the 1200 was a , ahem, 'compensation' thing. You know, like Porsche owners - inverse proportionality ?

My two penneth...

I think the triple black looks better on the R1200GS.

I don't like the look of the Trophy edition at all. (Looks dated in a bad way!)

I noticed that too! Photoshop error?

 

[wessie]

are people so thick they need to be reminded what colour their bike is?

I like black colour schemes but that thing with "black" written over it looks like something from the Early Learning Centre.
