Then it'll be at least by mid next year they'll release the big tank version. I'll go for a test ride when they're out, but all I know about BMWs tells me to not buy a new model bike in the first couple of years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 visited a dealership today, to buy some waterproofing spray as I might go on a ride in the next few days. Took the chance to go look at the new GS. Good thing is that it looks a lot less ugly in real life than on youtube. It feels smaller than mine as well, which it is so it’s not really surprising. Had a sit on one that I could start for it to go back up to riding height, and it does feel lighter. The paint they use now on the engine and swingarm is not smooth anymore, a little like bedliner or wrinkle paint, not really a fan but it looks hardy. It is a complicated bike though, very complicated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starts at 20 or 21k and then on bikes found at dealerships there's always a minimum of 5 or 6k of extras added on, many of those I would prefer to not have. That's what I don't like about this bike on concept, it comes stock with things I would prefer not to have to deal with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 like the blue one colours suit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, the new ones will never look like they're unclean either. 3 hours ago, Six30 said: like the blue one colours suit it. Agreed, the rear subframe being white suits it. The others don't look nice at all compared to that, but knowing BMW they'll release the Adventure in one year and that will look even better, and then two months later they'll release a new color scheme that will make all previous ones look like shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
