Click here to find your nearest dealer to place your order today.
Offer available at participating BMW Motorrad dealers in the UK. Offer applies to new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure bikes (including new '30 Years GS' special edition models) that are first registered between 01 June and 31 December 2010 inclusive, subject to availability. Panniers mounting rails for R 1200 GS Adventure at extra cost.
So the pannier mounting rails are extra if you opt for the GS Adventure - you could start by asking to have those included in the deal - as someone has already stated the important figure is the price to change - together the GS and GS Adventure sales numbers make it the top selling bike in the UK so the dealers don't seem to need to offer much of a discount - there is always room to maneuver with optional extras and clothing - perhaps you could ask for a discount on inner bags for the luggage etc etc - get them to fit a fender extenda - tank bag - virtually everything for BMW is top dollar so if you need to accessorize now is the time to do it - today everything is negotiable don't be afraid to play one dealer off against the other after all we are talking a whole lot of dough here

There's very few GSA's ordered/supplied totally bog standard thus the pannier rails are normally already there as they are included in the 'Premium' package.

To me the difference was made by the p/x value, most offers I found were similar with an extra £4-500 of accessories thrown in on top of the panniers deal. Again, total cost to change is the main driver here.

because when you do a deal with your local dealer and have it serviced there,you build a relasionship with them which in the long run will work out better for you.too many people on here try to screw the dealer down in price and expect a red carpet service,service costs money.pay your money and take your choice but you cant have it all your own way in the real world.

That is a fair statement; I didn't have a choice as I work away from home 5 days a week and return at weekends. My last three services have been with another dealer, as the other couldn't provide a mechanic on a Saturday no matter how much notice I gave... that said my local dealer rang up the nearest dealer to where I work and made the arrangements for me...
