If you're an old fart, the silver engines hark back to the days of old, when most bikes had silver engines, so there's probably something nice about the old/ modern combo.
BMW has obviously released this.
I'm younger than most of you lot, so prefer black.
Do any other modern adventure bikes come with silver engines?
Mine has a silver engine and it's definitely the better colour, anything else is just naff. If i change it for a GS with a black engine then of course black will be, er, the new black and absolutely in my opinion the must have colour
