Revised gearbox, with new bearings/shims and stonger clutch & basket i'm told, together with an newly updated water/oil pump so the the weep hole doesn't leak
Apart from that, all is the same
Quick reply.
So they got most of it right 1st time
Whats caused the pannier problem, was that just a small batch?

I have heard that there will be no water added to the engine to prevent leaks from the pump.
Apparently they now realise there is enough air cooling for satisfactory performance and the accountants are looking for cost savings due to poor sales despite discounting, particularly in the UK, to maintain volume.
Also there will be a six cylinder option as sales of the K1600 have stalled.
There is also a rumour that a hybrid version will be launched with an elastomeric continuous band that stores power on the over-run, particularly downhill, to release explosive additional thrust when triggered. This is to expand sales.

Wondered if they might drop the blue colour as it doesn't seem very popular
I quite like it myself

Dave, are you a hairdresser by chance
I agree it grows on you and is distinctive. The other colours are old hat now.

Not quite, but blue has always been my favourite colour (could be worse might have been pink)

What's wrong with pink!
Nothing if that's what you like. I've seen a pink GS at Vines, lady rider I am pleased to say!
When they get back...full steam (ha ha) ahead with the Wazzer GSA
