MCN Today - 1200GS HP - finally revealed........

[swebb]

It's a beauty!!!
But it won't make me change my r12gs
At least not yet

I'm with you Tzes.... it's a great looking bike, but for real world everyday biking..... don't think it's best suited..... i'll be keeping my R1200GS for that....

now if only i had a spare fistful of readies, a second bike would be very inviting....

"RC45" posted these on our local Taiwan forum site, thought I'd share them over here too... Looks much better than the leaked spy shots, but EUR15,000 is a lot of money for a dirt bike... I'll be hanging onto my 12GS for now...

The rims take tubed tyres but can also take tubeless tyres.

There is a second valve hole to allow the use of rim-locks for extreme low pressure riding.

The rear swing arm is 50mm longer than the 1200GS.

There are lots of other little things as well.

First time since the 80 G/S that they have re-written the book again!

Mick.

Sorry but I don't see the appeal at all.

It seems just like an overweight TS175 from the early 80's.

Sorry to be a bit harsh but I'll be keeping my GS.

 

[jlabro]

not really like it !!!

my gs is far better...

Autumn in the UK according to MCN

Have a look on Page Nine.

Only a Wank could associate our Royal Soverign with a 1200 GSHP and we reckon we are Tossers. In which case, what's a good title for Them over the Pond.

All the same, a Great Looker, Innit

Overall it looks fantastic. The rear light looks better than the standard 12 but, the bracing for the front beak looks wank IMHO

enjoy the long wait!

Bike realeased Autumn
TT parts advertised in December (If you're lucky!)
6-9 months wait for your parts delivery (If you're even luckier!)

 

[RolandAdv]

ahh - but isn't it already released in good old Germany?

So TT should get one of the first to be able to have the gadgets ready for autumn

You heard it here first, folks!

Proper GS12s have a far wider vocation........

You heard it here first, folks!

Yep, the FIRST person in the world to be talking about *PROPER R1200GS BIKES* and how much better the old ones were than the cack we're getting from BMW nowadays!
