BMW is celebrating 40 years of the GS in style, unveiling a brand-new livery for their collection of mid-capacity adventure bikes that pays homage to that famous GS heritage.
Joining a long line of manufacturers adopting ‘retro’ liveries for their adventure bikes, the German manufacturer have given the BMW F 750 GS, F 850 GS and F 850 GS Adventure a smart-looking black and yellow livery. It’s divided opinion already in the ABR office, with Assistant Editor James loving the new colour scheme, while I’ll admit to being a little undecided on the appearance of those bright yellow hand guards.
The popular mid-capacity adventure bikes will roll off the production line with more than just a new lick of paint though. BMW are equipping all three models with a number of features as standard including LED indicators, a USB charging device on the dash, as well as ABS Pro and DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) which would usually feature as optional extras.
But, we want to know what you think of the new colour scheme. Does it make you want to part with your hard-earned cash, or are you not swayed by the new look? Let us know in the comments below.
