Found these on the BMW GS bike facebook page,, Yes they has their own page :D searched but not seen these on the forum yet..
Lots of other ones on the pages inc some kitted out by Wunderlich, which is nice.
New triple black and some others kitted out with Givi Trekk panniers.

That may well be the closest yet:clap
 
Wow
That looks good :thumb
I guess that the pictures are as standard GS , I look forward to see the adventure stile :beerjug:
 
My friendly dealer tried to spec my WC bike today and there were two we could see on the system, one just offered colours and cross spoked wheels. The other offered Enduro ASC and left and right pannier rails, could this be the adventure version? They were both called gs so maybe there is just an adventure'ish variant to start with.
 
I'm sure the water-cooled will be a great bike, BMW cannot afford to mess this up but the change is driven by emission regs and speaking personally I'm happy not to have water-cooled.

There will be cautious types like me who hold back, others who want the latest now and accept the inevitable teething problems but, as with the airheads, time moves on and progress/ change is unstoppable.

So I wish BMW (and all the early adopters) the very best of luck with the water-cooled model. Let's hope it is a huge success.

After selling three bikes in a single week I only have my '92 r100r (the very last of the airheads) on the road right now - it has even taken over commuting duties from my C1 200 and I'm absolutely LOVING IT !!

PS brand new 1200 adventure arriving at the weekend :cool::P
 
It will be very interesting to see what the weight is now that water cooling has been added.
 
Kept looking at the front panels on the pictures at start of thread thinking that looks familiar..




KTM Super Duke :thumb

What do you think
A new R1250R with it's lower bars etc add a belly pan, few graphics. Bit of imagination, has potential.. :bounce1

Like that will make any difference at all once the bike has had half the TT catalogue bolted to it along with 2 big metal boxes!!

I`ve a mate who obsesses about weights of bikes, I don`t give a shit cos I weigh 5 stone more than him anyway :D
