Thanks posted it at lunch time........

New boring colours.

 

[UK Jon]

Thanks ATG,

Does not look like they have taxed themselves too much in the last 12 months does it? However, having said that - rather like the GSA in the Ocean Blue.

Regards

Really? I think it looks really dull. The racing blue with the blue seat looks ten times better. And I'm not just saying that because I have one!

Anyone who has a recent Mini will be well aware of this BMW marketing strategy of cyclical introduction & retirement of colours & body styling options.

Try not to get excited, there'll be somethiong just as "radical" & irresistible in 2017, 2018 & ........

 

[MondoRich]

Oh good don't need any of those. #uninspired

The only good thing about recent colour schemes from BMW is they are easily changed as it's just a couple of panels or so.
The new colour schemes apart from the odd one are so boring, and how can a bike be triple black when the rocker covers are not even grey/dark gray or remotely any shade of black.

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

Does it matter what bloody colour they come in when Halfords sell rattle cans in allsorts of different colours

 

[Robbo1200ADV]

I like the Red GSA .like my Blue one as well !

How much are the panels or a decent respray ?

 

[stephen.stallebrass]

Yeah, the red is nice but the blue is not as nice as the current blue. I noticed the seat colour locations are swapped: the colour is along the top of the seat on the current blue versus down the sides of the seat on the new red (see below). Not sure which I prefer, colour on top or on the sides. I know 1st world decisions.

That's one of the things I like about these two colours is the seat matches the body colour. The white on the other hand, which I also like has a tepid grey seat, I'd prefer a completely black seat I think - but I guess the grey seat on the white and green and the new colours matches the silver tank, which I would also cover in black 3M. Is there any difference in the new white to the current alpine white?

I'm looking to get a new GSA LC and don't know whether to wait for the 2016 or get a 2015 now and enjoy it a bit over the rest of the summer.

You'll get a better deal on a 2015 bike. If you prefer this years blue, then it's a no brainer.

 

[Beemer Bob]

I like the one covered in horse shit with high mileage on the clock... I can dream!

[Reggie P]

Pretty impressed that cornering ABS is fitted to so many without extra cost. The brake light thing too.
I agree with others the colours are disappointing. Though I suspect the red GSA will look better in the showroom than the computer screen.

Here is a pic of the R1200GSA in Red

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

It'll look better with the fuel tank wrapped in black

 

[stephen.stallebrass]

definitely.

 

[stephen.stallebrass]

Is there any indication of price tag yet? When do they get released, is it October?

 

[Deleted account 200502001]

I didn't have a clue what dynamic brake lights were, so just had to google it...

The brake lights themselves are divided into two zones. During normal braking, only one zone is illuminated. When heavy braking is detected, Brake Force Display increases the intensity of the brake lights by illuminating the second zone as well. In addition, the hazard lights are activated just before the vehicle comes to a standstill. The hazard lights are deactivated automatically when the vehicle accelerates or by pushing the button.

WTF is this all about??
