No definitive word from BMW that there will be one
It would be sales suicide on the standard new GS if they had as some would just wait
So it'll be here is 12-18 months I reckon

I was told next year at the earliest, you could time that to happen with the new plates being made available.
Looks great with the spokes
+1 and the white rims too, or are they silver? Cracking looking bike Bill

Any thoughts on the tyre valve been in the spoke of the wheels?
My camhead RT has one on the front wheel only - brilliant idea, makes it much easier to get different pump fittings onto, particularly the types at fuel stations (wish my rear wheel was the same)

Health to enjoy it

I suppose im a bit of a giant...6' 4" and 102kg. That's why ive always had gs adventures, perfect bike for me. I will be buying a new adventure when they are out so there will be a low mileage gs lc for sale then ( well maybe not too low mileage as this bike is great
A bit? That's understating things to us sub 6' mortals struggling to get short legs to touch the floor on a GS. Thank goodness for BMW and reduced height options I say.
Bike looks great in White, but I would be biased as mine awaiting collection is in the same and yes it is shortened

IMO its a good step forward, as there are many threads on here about snapped valves on the "old" model

Great idea, I take it there is one on the back too
It's a pain in the arse doing the tyres in a garage with the current one.I picked my new GS LC up from Jeffries at 9.00am this morning.

I then took it for a 140 mile ride calling in at squires café for a butty.

Initial thoughts on the bike are firstly the engine...It PULLS LIKE A TRAIN. Totally different to my 1200 gs adv I have ridden over past 6 years. The clutch is really light and the gear change a lot smoother. The journos slagging this bike off must have had a hidden agenda because there was no sign of 'tank slapping'. I would recommend anyone with a current gs to try the new one and break open the piggy banks
Gonna do another full day tomorrow around n.yorks ( weather permitting)
Looks nice - I'm interested to see you've got the varios on yours, Chandlers told me they weren't available yet. I wonder if any dealers actually have them in stock?

Current 'rumour' seems to be launch at Intermot 2014 for the 2015 season.

How does it ride compared to the old GS?
From what we've heard, it makes the old 12GS's look like a slow old dog in comparison
............and as for the 1100/1150 GS's, well there not even in the same millenia

It is on the face of it.
It does mean you couldn't put a tube in though, to get you out of trouble.
And yes, it does happen
(unlikely for 99.9% of riders who choose to go for mag wheels though, granted)

I cannot think of any circumsraces that would lead me to put a tube in performance bikes tyre. It probably isn't even legal!
Plug it or bin it.

I think the words "to get you out of trouble" may be a significant part of his statement, all be it not very likely
Are you getting the lowered seat as well? My last GS had wilbers lowered and the seat,A bit? That's understating things to us sub 6' mortals struggling to get short legs to touch the floor on a GS. Thank goodness for BMW and reduced height options I say.

Thought it was excellent .
I was quoted £610.61 panniers,
top box(inc mounts)..........£448.80. I think I will give it a miss this time at that price , and wait till it all settles down
£1050 for Vario topbox and panniers, that's both eye and mouthwatering
So the TE is £13815, plus £1050 for full luggage, £600 for BMW Nav4 = £15465
About the same price as another BMW product - Mini Clubman One D is about £15500, with a 3 year warranty

Makes one think, just a bit
Just sayin'
