New BMW Soft Luggage, For the GS

[crotchrocket]

Appears BMW USA are releasing the 'Atacama Adventure Luggage System' which is soft luggage for the GS. Well, soft on the outer skin, but has an ABS moulded base. Wonder if it will be released in the UK and better priced than the hard cases?

Looks good.

Now that I like. Having looked at the attachments ( https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/usa/oneclick/download/T0262310EN_US/attachment ) it looks really good, and its a shame that I've just ordered a Kriega US30 and US20 to go with the US20 that I already have. The only issue that I can see with this is that it will only work on the GSA unless you have a GS with the GSA pannier fittings. The fact that its BMW branded and you need three adapters means that it's going to be extortionate...

Actually the $US prices are included in the pdf attachment and they're eye watering...$US 484.00 left side pannier, $US 450.00 right side $US 327.00 top box and then there's the adapters etc.

All this kit is just rebadged Mosko Moto. There is a lengthy thread on advrider about their kit.

And as soon as you turn your back, some fucker will steal it.
You simply can't compare soft and hard luggage.

I guess "some fucker" will steal them for their worth and ditch the contents ...

laughing ! yep , pricey aren't they !


I do like soft luggage, and there are some places we ride that have low crime levels.
But I'd be pretty wary about leaving those on a bike , perhaps on a ferry where they seem to specialise in stealing your belongings!

Looks way over-priced,so I can see why it might appeal to a GS rider !!
Think I prefer my Andy Strapz Expeds anyway.

I'll stick with my GSA top box and Kreiga combo.

Those look like Walter Colebach's bags...what were they called Adventure spec or Siberian extreme? I forget now.
Whatever, double the price now

Ah the joys of soft luggage, a brand new pair of Adidas Samba trainers and Levi jeans nicked out of the throwover panniers on a cross channel ferry and being sh@t feared to leave the bike parked up anywhere.

Give me lockable boxes any day .
