HOW MANY WC GS OWNERS WILL BE GETTING THE ADVENTURE

Ordered mine - I think it looks awesome, if it is as good as my 2010 GSA was then I will be more than happy. Have I read it wrong but do the new BMW aluminium boxes now come with the inner waterproof bags as standard...??

I'd be surprised if they come with inner bags, but you never know.
 
well saw it today. Couldn't bring myself to buy a WC GS in the summer (Got a TB GSA instead and very happy) and can't find a reason to buy this new GSA. The old GSA looks so much better. And by god is it going to get so much cheaper when this new comes out (Thinking of getting a second one as a project). Having ridden the WC I will say that it is much quicker. But if I just wanted quicker I would go for a Triumph (Or stick with my KLV). The GSA concept is a certain something and that certain something isn't out and out speed. The present DOHC does all that for me. So no new GSA for me at this time. I personally think BMW have got this one wrong big time.

Judging by the number of order that have already been taken, I'd say you are wrong. And that's before the bike has even been launched.:rob
 
I see no advantage in the adventure unless,

1, You specifically need to do 300ml runs.

2, You are very tall.

I'm sure it will be a great bike as all the adventures have been ! but everything they do is just not quite as good as the standard model.

There not quite as quick.

They don't handle quite as well.

They're not quite as economical

They don't quite look as good (personal opinion)

Plus for some reason I could never work out they're a whole load more money.

Just my opinion.

The GSA would be a better bike for me as it suits my 6'3" frame much better than the standard GS. Its all personal choice and in my case I didn't buy my GSA to travel the world or to do the shopping at Tesco's. It fits me and I fit it. I love riding mine, fast when I want and bimbling at other times, one up, with a pillion and/or with camping gear. I like filling the tank up first thing and not worrying about fuel stops for the rest of the day so I can stop when I want to and admire the countryside than a petrol station. Most of all though it was about comfort and feeling as one with the bike. The standard GS never did it for me in that sense. I'm keeping an eye on the new one to see if its worth the change from a longevity viewpoint although at the moment I'm thinking its not as it doesn't do anything more or better than my present GSA IMHO.
 
Let's face it they are both GS, they are both good, you buy the one that fits your needs and your size, no problems!!

I really like them but the graphics are truly dreadful, but easily removable.
 
I hope it looks better in the flesh than in the pics :barf
 
Had a sit on it today.

It's nice, I can see why folk are putting money down on it, plus I can also see why some can't stand those decals! That said, they should be a piece of piss to remove. I was open to the idea of chopping mine in against an ADV in the spring, but for me, all the difference don't apply to the type of riding I do. So I'll stick with mine and throw some money at a pair of spokes next year.
 
It does.


Apart from the sticker on the beak.

Agreed it does, and we are working on replacements for the decals which are cheaper and nastier than even the pics suggest but as said will prove easy to remove. ;)
 
I won't be.:rob It's unnecessary for my needs. In fact, it's probably unnecessary for most peoples needs.

...having hand a grumpy nights sleep (work sh1te playing in my mind) I take my self to the throne with a coffe and the iPad expecting to be uplifted by the views and banter of the forum and I read this.

I Filipino hate it when predictive text swaps my miss spelt a temp at flippin for Filipino and it delays me saying I flipping hate it when a persons looks to back what they've done by looking to position what they think most people etc etc...

It's a sh1te way to give an opinion...






Good Morning....
 
My LC is only 4 months old but who knows if I like what I see I may opt for one. Very pleased with the LC, did a day of gravel today and thought just how good this bike is. I'd opt in if the pricing is good and it has all the gear with it as part of the package.
