[Macp]

MacP...what are you doing sitting here pondering about it man!!!!

Get yerself down there with some pound notes quick time.....you know you'll regret it if you don't!

Ah....it's Friday night and it's late.....You're excused...........


Until tomorrow morning

Well to be honest with you mate I have put a re-turnable deposit on the Silver GS but still hankering after it in Black. I have a cooling off period until next week.

Seriously though until then does anybody know of a BM dealer with a Black ADV upto £8500.

I dont think anybody noticed I answered the wrong post before

Test rode my first 1150GS Adventure today. It was a brand new demo bike with zero miles on the clock.I was a little nervous but I should`nt have been, what an awesome bike !!

Superb stability and handling very comfortable and such a pose to ride
I even thought the gearchange was good & nothing like the RT I rode previously which was clanky.But the ride is soooo smooth.

Here is the stoopid part. The demo bike was in Black which I have fallen for but the bike they have for sale is in Silver. Its a 2004 bike with 3000mls & 12mths manufacturers warranty remaining.Servo ABS,heated grips, hugger, baglux tank protector, hugger, Whi indicators, headlight protector, Aluminium luggage. The bike was up for £8500 I said I could not pay anymore than £8000 and amazed when he said he could do it for that.
I think the bike is fantastic value but god I love it in Black.Would you go for the colour you want or just say feck it I`ll have it.
Its a lot of cash and I have only just started looking.

That is a great deal! Take it quick before someone else does.

The few times that it has happened, I've always regretted not getting exactly what I wanted in a vehicle. So get exactly what YOU want. A few extra hundred won't make a difference over 5 or 10 years.

Black looks sharp in a showroom, but you have to stay on top of it in the real world if you want to maintain that deep shine. Both of my GS Adventures are White Aluminium. I wouldn't have taken black at any cost.

No, but just curious what the MSRP is on a GS Adventure in the UK.

I bought a new 2004 GS Adventure for £7250 including taxes, but that was discounted. Our BMWs also come with a 3 year unlimited mileage warranty.

Standard equipment is: 30 liter tank, GS Adventure full engine protection bars, heated grips, RID.

Last year ..................a 2004 GSA in that spec (without ABS) was in the region of £9135 OTR ........................some £2k more and we only get a 2 year warranty.

It includes our VAT @ 17.5% (what's sales Tax in USA/Canada?)

So between BMW and our taxation levels, we are paying more .........yet again!!! NOT A SUPRISE

There are 2 sales taxes in Canada. One is the federal/state tax, and the other is the provincial tax. They normally add up to the 15% mark.

So a bit more than BMW Canada prices without my discount (£9039). List for a GS Adventure is CA$18,700 + 15$ tax.

I guess we get a 3 year warranty because they know we can't ride all year long due to our winters.

Taxes in Ontraio are 7% GST and 8% PST for a total of 15%. This pays for programs like the gun registry that started off at $1M and ended up at more than $1B and solved absolutely nothing. Maybe the guns should be used to shoot some of our politicians. Then we have a Sponsorship Program where $100M went missing and they spent another $100M on some inquiry to find out where it went. Is it a prerequisite to have an IQ of 10 to become a politician? Lord help them if I end up with some terminal disease.

Is the GSA better than the GS? I'm been toying with teh idea of trasing up to a GSA but I'm unsure about it. The 1200 has more of the hooligan element

 

[HR0]

the Blue Bell black Adventure is up for £9000 but no abs
the have a gs1200 at 9700
