What were you expecting Johnny a set of Tits on it and fireworks shooting out of the exhaust ?

Thanks for posting the photos Vanguard. I'm excited !
Its a gs with gsa wheels black tank plastics and a fancy seat ffs
I love the fact that it sits between the GS and the GSA . I think a lot of us always wanted the stronger wire GS matt wheels, but didn't need the big tank when we have to stop to pee every 2 hours anyway !
Actually great value GS; with free GPS , free rack and [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]vario top box ( not sure thats happened before with the normally tight fisted dealers ![/FONT]

Rack and rear subframe plastic should also be black, as should the rear footrest hangers, rocker covers, the GS side panels and the rails either side of the headlight.

It looked lovely in the flesh, I was starting to think I'd wished I'd bought an Alpine white model and was considering changing the order until I saw this today. It just looks fantastic. Delivery date of week commencing 19th October for me

The colours are 100% consistent with the way it was done last time in 2012.
Is that it, 7 pages of fuss over that..........................ye gods
You old misery!
It's not doing it for me. I think it's the silver plastic monstrosities hiding the radiators. There's something about the length of the panels either side of the tank. Black hides this better but it still doesn't look right to me. Spoked wheels look much better than the standard GS ones.
I kind of agree, but I think the rear rack and seat base should be black as well, Honda did it with the black ltd xtourer, so why can't BMW. The spoke wheels are a Fooker to clean but do look ace

For the sake of around £100, and a bit of spannering, you could get the rear rack, seat base, radiator covers and cylinder covers painted black. That's what I'd do if I got one.
That would have been a start
It's a black GS, BMW have been making black GS's since 1987
.......................FFSjohnny,you miserable sod,have you never had that new bike feeling!
good bit of research on the seat height,its an important thang if your a bit of a jockey,thanks very much,i didn't even consider the matter until I'd ordered mine.should collect it next week!
