Judging by some of the reponses to previous threads some of you lot need cheering up!

However, that's not the point, when I bought the bike even the dealer said the 2017 colours were 'a bit challanging' mmmm choice between Black or White, a blue frame, or brown...? Not seen brown since my Austin Allegro days.

anyway, been looking around, few threads exist but generally the choice seems limited:

motografix do a nice tank thingy http://officialmotografix.com/epage...bjectPath=/Shops/eshop288545/Products/KB016CB - Anyone got one, is it any good? fall off in 100 miles?

Some outfit in Cyprus do pretty things, but looks a bit dear for a bit of sticky plastic. https://www.signaturecd.com/ Euro at 1:1 makes them expensive

so anyone out there done something nice to shine from the crowd, post some pretty pictures to cheer us all up. (2017 bikes please)

Yep, I took my 2017 to the seaside today. 300 mile round trip. That cheered it up.
 
Nobody will like this, but I fitted Stomp Grips to my tank. Also a motografix Tank Protector.

Does the job, makes it mine :thumb

Lovely Linda got her all clear from her yearly "has it come back tests" so I'm very cheered up. It's a funny old thing priorities ain't they?

I've not had a BMW R1200GS before, so only experienced the Zumo 660 model on my other bike.

I like Garmin products but wouldn't know how to compare it for you?

What about it makes you curious?

Apologies for thread drift Carlos. (I was thinking about upgrading my Nav5 for a 6 (due better processor and much brighter screen) . However, there is a huge thread on this site where Nutty and Hubcap complain about their Nav. 6 . )
Many suggest; their unhappiness is due entirely to operator error.
