One confirmed rumor is that the new BMW alloy luggage will come factory fitted with Tesco and Sainsbury stickers so that when you shop at Morrissons people know you are an RTS rider!! (RTS-Round The Shops)

Make it more capable off road with a big front wheel then weigh it down with a hoooge tank and all the Adv bling, great! ;-)

Good point, but the GSA is a very capable bike off road, despite its goliath weight. However the 21" front wheel wheel will make a huge difference in lifting the weight over steps, as opposed the weight forcing the 19" wheel into steps (often resulting in the rider eating dirt).

Why does the fuel tank "have" to be above the engine or under the seat? Why cant the the fuel be anywhere there is space available with the traditional above engine space for additional fuel and odds and ends storage?

Honda did it with the original Gold Wing 1000 and Beemers do now with the F800, so why are we still welded to traditional designs that go back to gravity fuel feeds of the late 1800s?
