The all new Mk2 1300 GSA . Better curves than the Mk1.
Best photos yet of the new R1300GSA

Interesting that BMW choose a different look for the Gs and GSA. Up till now the GSA simply looked like a beefier version of the GS due to the larger tank capacity, the extra plastics and the raised suspension. But the addition of the toaster panels shows a definite divergence between the two models. While not an instant fan, I think the looks of the GSA will grow on me, much like the updated GS did. Only time will tell.
I actually liked the looks of the GS and GSA in a sort of macho Mad Max kind of way.
This looks unfinished, almost like the bodywork’s missing…. and the last thing that grew on me were warts!

I wonder if anyone will produce an aftermarket version of the toaster panels, it surely couldn't be that hard to make something that looks a bit nicer.
Definitely looks better in black, just like the 13GS.
It is designed to attach all kind of shit to the tank. Imagine going to Costa with some spare rubber attached to your cool machine.
I just hope they don't fuck up the RS/RT.

Not quite sure the target audience of these things nowadays. The small electric has an umbrella 
. Will it be an option on the GSA?

Some better angles to view coming out now....
Looks like a mincers wet dream. If it was any more camp I’d guess it could be used to store a dildo and butt plug.Not quite sure the target audience of these things nowadays. The small electric has an umbrella

Some youtubers are now saying it’s not so bad in the flesh.
Well let me say this 44teeth et al, who has ordered one. Of course you have! BMW gave you a massive discount so you can spread the word which they need. And that boosts your clicks etc. These influencers really must think we’re stupid.

more Paragay than Parasol...
I have heard (and maybe someone can confirm) that the tank has the vertical part at the seat to accommodate a huge range of seat height, either through adjustment or different seat options. Supposedly in the range of 3 or 4 inches
Its hideous - understand its a personal thing and many will like it but the icing on the cake for me was the shots now showing the luggage mounting brackets on the rear - they look like parts racking shelf supports.
I was ready for a change this year - and I fell out with my dealer (Vertu BMW in Shipley) so have ordered a Norden 901 Expedition (I'd rather dice with Cam shafts that ride this ugly looking beast)

OMFG
Have you seen the two weld joints on the tank, just in front of the rider seat.
A varicose vein right where you see it. I am stunned!
