Anyone ordered a brown 2017?

Sorry i dont think it looks as good as the Triple Black.
Do you like the big GS sticker on the tank ?

No neither do I but they stopped triple black production and cancelled my order so I went for the brown instead.
Not sure on the logo yet, I'll reserve judgement until I see in the flesh. Can always get rid of it if I decide against it.

These one thing if you have a brown bike you will not need to wash the it if you have a really close call on a bend or something.
It will just dry in and blend into the paint work

I managed to order a Triple Black it will be registered next week.
Got a good deal from the lads at Williams in Manchester.

I wouldn't order brown, as it'll be a one year model, then the residuals will plummet

Residuals on all bikes will plummet when a new model GS arrives in 2018.

It's a fact of life that all new bikes lose money, even your precious Triple Black.

Personally, I think the brown exclusive looks way better than those all black abominations !

Of course, all bikes lose money. But a brown bike, or car will lose more than regular colours.

But it's not actually a "shit" brown is it, it is a very distinctive metallic shade which for want of better word is described as brown.

In fact, one could argue that if this is a one year model, it will depreciate much less than other bikes due to its exclusivity.

Anyways, I like it !

Yep me too, a pair of wire wheels and an Akrapovic can and probably ditch the tank graphics and it would be a nice bike.

one good point on theses is , if you dont like the colour its hardly any plastic bits to change to become a different colour...or even wrap it Black if thats what you really wanted just enjoy the bike

Mark 4 Ford Cortina in a colour called Roman Bronze....class car and colour

Good choice you guys "70's" colours rule

 

[diplomaticdanny]

I should have waited for the brown instead of buying the TB, could have had a matching pair!

The bottom picture looks like a triple black

It's a TB alright.....A triple brown

Gonna be known as the marmite bike if I won the lottery it would be the Rallye version for me. I love the looks and it would look great parked next to the trolleys at Tescos

A nice brown really, to separate the men from the sheep that are wanting a triple noir version.... Baahhh!py New year.....������

Had a W123 I Manganese in the early 90's . Loved the colour (every one called it the Brown Merc ) But it was and still is a classic colour.

And it is best merc money could buy to. Now for a good on don't even bother looking without 8k in your pocket.

New GS is finally on the BMW website configurator. Brochure hasn't changed yet so not many pics on line still.
