Would anybody know if that screen support you see in this video will fit the "old" F800GS model and if it's obtainable as a spare part?

I got a couple of prices the other day from Park Lane BMW.

800ADV £9045 + , LED spots, heated grips, LED indicators, Alarm, centre stand makes it £10,783

800ADV T £9,930 (the T is for travel apparently) + ESA, LED indicators, Alarm makes it £11,253

The T already had extra bits on it that the non T hasn't. I test rode the 'normal' 800GS and with the bits it needs (IMHO)to make it usable - a comfort seat and bigger screen, plus a few upgrades to it came to £10,476. I've got to say that for that kind of cash I found the bike pretty underwhelming. I guess if you're into them though, then the ADV actually looks like quite good value for money compared to the non ADV. Blimey aren't bikes getting stupidly expensive!!

I love the english name for the colour with my 4 month old daughter

Managed to sit on and have a good look round the 800GSA yesterday at the bike safe show. It looks awesome, i guess if you never really go off road then this could be the ideal adventure bike.
