Hope you have a great time together with lots of miles'n smiles :thumb

Why is every second word in the BMW vocabulary 'Dynamic' it's just an adjective for 'we're trying to get our act together' :nenau
:beerjug:
 
Im thinking of buying a new GS as my 1st BMW. anyone want a 650 Alp?:hide
 
Andy congrats,
must be one of the first on the forum?

Now then, all the little extras we add to our bikes over time.
Like panniers, top box, crash bars etc.
Has anyone any knowledge if they might be transferable to the new 2010 bike?

the only thing ive come across that wont fit is end cans,i had a 08 gsa with akra end can,took it off when i traded for the s1000rr,to put on my 2010 gsa that im gettin 1st of march but i was informed by a very nice after sales manager at ssb :augie that they dont fit as there's a valve in the link pipe doh!but was told it is slightly louder than b4 anyway.
 
I'm about to order one too and was checking with my dealer today about what will fit from my old 1200GS

Apart from the silencer as mentioned by hazzy, and my touratech fog brackets, everything else seems to be a straight swop
 
Well, who's a lucky boy?

OTOH, I'm still happy with my 05 beast.

Anyway, enjoy!

Collect my new 2010 GSA on Saturday
 
The engine guards are different, they are smaller top box and panniers are the same:comfort:type
 
new gsa

Well done lads, ive got the 08 one and have just had a test drive at chester on saturday on the new one. Like they say in the MSN it feels a lot quicker through all the gears and makes the bike feel lighter and more agile. I think a very good inprovement on the old one..

May do the deal next week :clap

Has anyone got the new coms system yet? would be nice to know if it works ok..

Fozzy.

That's odd because when I bought my 09 GSA from Jeffries the previous owner had removed the Akra to transfer to the 2010 bike he'd just ordered....Jeffries told me it was only the headers had changed after the cat, the can was the same :nenau
 
Yea im going to put my order in on next week i think. Wont rest till its done..lol.
 
Nope went for standard. Couldn't see the need TBH

The reason I ask is that I found that I could not achieve a safe hill start on Hardnott Pass two-up with luggage with the standard box on my 1150GS so fitted the FD from an 850GS - thus dropping the gearing by 13%.

I did. Pick it up April to ride back to Crete. Thought low gear would be useful on dirt mountain roads.

Alpine White? how did you manage that when the choices are grey or yellow?
