What colour is my bike?

[fluffytit]

Hi everyone...

Specifically, what is the BMW designation for my 2003 R1150GS Adv silver petrol tank?

Or to be even more specific, does anyone know if there is a touch-up kit available, and what it's part number is?

Regrettably, I laid my bike down at a hi-camber junction earlier in the week, and even crash bars didn't stop the tank just touching the tarmac Still, it's an ADV so isn't supposed to look too clean and shiney is it? I am not that short (5'11") so it really was a strangely bent bit of road.

FWIW, I live in France and popping down to the local dealer is a) a longish journey and b) a frustrating job involving long conversations in very poor french about why I am not booking the bike in for a full on paint job etc. etc!

Cheers

Bill

Excuse my manners fluffytit, Hello & Welcome......

I think the silver is actually called Aluminium White for some some strange reason.

Listed here at the bottom for GS1150 ADV

If you click on the picture of the bike to the right it brings up the "silver" ADV which I also have.

I may and have been known to be very wrong though

Many thanks for the link and the other info... especially embarrassed about the "look under the seat" bit! I really shoulda known that!

Merry Xmas to one and all and all that seasonal nonsense....
