EEK! The 2008 1200's gone mincingly bling.

[Gas'd Off]

What the feck is that silver plastic thing? Eeeeugh!
I really don't think that look would ever grow on me
Few more pics over here.
Way too tacky

Edit: Have all 1200's had such a spindly looking wishbone?

Double edit: Looked at the pics again and the silver thing still looks fantastically naff. Sorry, it just goes against all things GS IMHO

Have to say I rather like it, especially with the matt black panel behind it - I suspect it will look better in the flesh.

I DO like the black barrels though, very much

maybe it's to smash saplings & small trees out of your path?

 

[team duvet]

Hmmmmmm?

Maybe for all us in the UK going to the NEC bike show the new "GS" will tranform itself and run around the hall???

Me thinks it look a tad NON MASCULINE, quite possibly designed for your London Borough Of Chelsea Type.

I didn't like the photo's of it at all but, just having seen it in the flesh, it looks a lot better. I was quite taken with it.

Black motor denotes more gee, gee's.........

 

[mikepg]

The silver thing looks like a turkey cooking device! - but the bike is fine I'm sure!

Black engines are just plain wrong - they age rally badly and look really second-hand once they get a few scrapes - why oh why do bike manufacturers think they are a good idea?
