R80G/S

[Arch]

Lads can someone please tell me what is the real diffrence between GS and G/S

 

[Spout]

G/S - monolever rear end
GS - paralever

there's lots of minor detail differences, but that's basically it (no pun intended).

 

[(RIP) Proff]

Do you mean a g/s and a GS ???

g/s = Mono, as in first pic
GS = Para, as pic 2.>>

 

[bumpmuncher]

Appart from one being the best bike in the world and the other being the second best bike in the world spend a while looking a these pictures and play spot the diference
pictures stolen from monolever regester and paralever register
first up a few pictures mono

and a few pictures of a paralever

tried to stick with the bogstandard model from a distance they could look similar but close up they are very diferent

I beleive the words are also different.

[ The BMW GS series of dual purpose off-road/on-road BMW motorcycles have been produced from 1980, when the R80G/S was launched, to the present day. The GS refers to either Gelände/Straße (German: off-road/road) or Gelände Sport.<SUP id=cite_ref-0 class=reference>[1]</SUP> GS motorcycles can be distinguished from other BMW models by their longer travel suspension, an upright riding position, and larger front wheels – typically 19 to 21 inch.]

Yours must be a fake

 

[BillN]

It has always been G/S as far as BMW are concerned

The "revivalists" on here who discovered the Bike a few years ago seem to have made the lower case thing up

 

[Roger Chatterton]

Lower case is so 1980's darling !

 

[fayeslane]

Problem with Caps Lock way back when....??

This is my G/S upgraded with the (IMO) only useful things of the GS.
