Not sure yet if we knew of the reliability of this new GSA.samfan wrote:Is it meant to look like a motorcycle ?. If if it is then there are far better made and more reliable bikes available for far less money. In other words me no want one me no get one.
I was at Ullapool last weekend and i was shocked to find all of the GS's actually made it. With all the bad press i was expecting to find the highlands littered with the corpses of dead BMW's and their riders.
But also there were none...maybe i shouldn't beleive everything i read on here?

Haha - that reminds me of the chap who built a model of the London Underground railway under his floorboards. Unless you lifted some panels up, wouldn't know it was there but he loved it because he knew the trains were running!johnnyboxer wrote:Who cares, when you're riding the best Adventure bike in the worldjonny955 wrote:Yeah, but it's still ugly and fatjohnnyboxer wrote:It will out sell anything Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Ducati, Triumph or KTM produce in the Adventure bike catergory though :whistle:jonny955 wrote:First impression = Ugly and fat.

Re: The new bmw r1200 adv
i love the effort they have put in to make it lighter and more managable for overland travel less comlpex and less vunerable to damage
i was out all weekend off roading and there were so many times riding on wet grass and ruts
i really could have done with a extra 100kgms and 120 hp it was depressing
it will be a great step forward for sure :laugh:

Nobody uses them for that..................they leave that to CCM, the makers known for their overland travel bikes :laugh:minkyhead wrote:i love the effort they have put in to make it lighter and more managable for overland travel less comlex and less vunerable to damage

The GSA will be used for touring and will be a great travel motorcycle
The new GSA will sell in the 1000's
The new CCM 450, will sell maybe less than 50
BMW know what they're doing, most of the time :whistle:
