TOPIC: a pic of a new bmw gs

Re: a pic of a new bmw gs 9 months, 1 week ago #158045

I love the whole retro vibe of that GS: as Mat Rat would say, “groovy”

& also only Eur. 4,000 for the conversation kit – in about 3 months time that will be the equivalent of 307 quid, or a goat….& some glass beads !

Over a long enough timeline, everyones survival rate drops to zero

That's a proper BMW.

Boring bit but surely a GS is about using rather than looking.......hardly a screen to be seen for a start so for real riding you would ruin the front if screen fitted.

I like the idea of cool retro looks but for me its a tool to do a job and the standard bike would do it better i think.

Awesome, always preferred my 1150 GSA to the 12 but this takes the proverbial biscuit, anyone want to buy an 1150 GSA

Re: a pic of a new bmw gs 9 months, 1 week ago #158073

Hmmm.......well i had a 1150GS and loved it for 3 years because it just done what i asked with no fuss.

I have been down the route with lots of personality styles bikes and even have a retro myself but for me in my life i love a bike because of what it can do and where it takes me. I am just not interested in anything that does not help the practicality of everyday usage.

Obviously thats ME and well aware of nobody cares about my life and bikes but just an opinion after all.

Room for everyone.

I can't think of anything nice to say about so perhaps I shouldn't say anything at all, but €4000 for a few bits of plastic, some flimsy looking crashbars and an oil cooler - you have to be kidding

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Some people would dislike BMW's even if they were covered in Chocolate and came with free beer..

No, the chocolate is inside the shaft drive!

And that is the problem, it's a 1200 with all the 1200 complications BUT in a dewy eyed, retro, fuzzy 'round the edges chocolate box presentation.
