whats everyone’s views on the bumblebee looks the GS has for the 1250? Trying to find a different paint job and this is the only one that comes up. Triple Black and Trophy are ten a penny. Would value the thoughts of the members.
 
No way would I buy a bike with that colour scheme.
I got the Trophy but really liked the ice grey and the kalamata looked good.
If you like it, buy it.
 
are you talking about the Anniversary 40 model here?

Not yellow enough in my view, but I owned a mandaring R1150GS!

I don't recall seeing many about. Presumably, as a special edition it will have commanded a price premium, so how many were ordered by punters? A 2021 model launched in autumn 2020 when people were not buying many vehicles and factories had lockdown periods. Probably explains the low numbers around now and why the few on Autotrader are dearer than the regular versions.
 
My R1250 GSA is a Rally. Sort of basically white with blue and red stickers. One brother has the Trophy GSA and another brother the Ice Grey GSA so it didn’t leave me a lot

Yes, with Covid I assume they are fairly rare. Thanks.
 
I had a test ride on this one, i might of considered it if it wasn`t for the handguards!
Actually, the deeeeep black paint looked really good on the GSA`s bulbous proportions, this model also came with a bit of bling in the way of the milled cam covers.
With four other bikes in the garage - all black, i didn`t go for it in the end.
The colour options in `21 were a bit limited......

You could have thrown them in the bin and put on some black ones for few £.

Agree on the handguards… and the deep
Black looks excellent
