Well BMW quote 269 for the GSA, the lying bastards
They did have the self lowering suspension on the first generation of these .
Still present on the 2026 models according to the HD website.
At the moment US goods don't appeal to me. Maybe in three years
Thought I might go look at a few used versions today.
However. Just watched this and need a rethink.

Not sure anything in that would worry me too much !
A battery under the sump guard, WTF! So and ford or river crossing will basically short it out and you are fucked. What were they thinking - it is meant to be an adventure bike. I'm out.
It's not ideal but a sealed battery should be alright for short periods of submersion, being mounted in the air flow it would dry out pretty quickly.

My KTM 990 Adv had the battery down there. Many “nearly at my knees” river crossings and ran fine I did clean it well after every big trip away and smeared a bit of Vaseline on it. Clean-ish water actually isn’t that great a conductor compared to the electrical cables.

Think it must be. It’s ugly as F**K
Popped into my local HD dealer yesterday to have a good look at one of these.
Just sitting on it in the showroom, it's very balanced and you don't feel the weight although it's a big lump of a thing.
They have a demo so I'm going to take it out hopefully on Saturday for a good long ride.
The salesman did say that the early ones did have issues which were never really addressed properly but the later ones have so far been no problem.
They have an ex demo 25 plate Adventure Touring up for sale for £13.5 which seems like a half decent deal.

The ST with smaller wheels gets good write ups and like GS’s, most won’t go properly off road
The Pan America 1250 special is 263 Kg fueled & ready to ride so pretty much the same as a GS Adventure.
I had at a look at them
The ST is 245kg and seat 825
Ltd is 299 and 815
Special is 263 and 850
So you take your pick, the ST seems the one I’d look at
Some good deals on used bikes .
This pre reg 2024 bike is only £9k at Superbike Factory Crawley
