R1300GS

Just saw a picture of the New GS coming out later this year. Whoever designed the headlights must have been drunk. Why, because they look like a pair of Dame Edna Everage's glasses.

Sat nav mount tells a story.

Not bad.

Had a quick look at the configurator on the website. Triple Black version which has the electric screen and seems to be more road oriented.came in around 20k . This was after adding a couple of the option packs ( dynamic suspension, GPS /luggage prep) and luggage.
.Might be worth a test ride when they get a demo in the dealers..

I have a rule that I won't buy a bike that costs as much as my first house whether new or used. Always nice to have a bit of perspective .

My first house in the 80's cost 12.5K thanks to Maggie Thatcher. Giving that i dont have much chance of buying a new bike under that. Secondly the wife would kill me if i bought a bike for that price.

My rule (as I've got older) is that you can't take it with you.

Sleekish. Will be interesting to see if the same design ideas will be used on new RS and RT.

Except for the engine, the styling looks too Japanees now.

I like the Green one

[Ed Harley]

Styling will grow on you. Especially when everybody on R1250GS will buy one.

Styling will grow on you.

So do warts…

I (probably) won't buy a bike that costs more than a top of the range BMW Car with all the extras.
(That should cover me)

Only 36000,- euros with all them bells and whistles.

Feels light. This felt tall with the factory tall seat.

Very positive feeling even though I could never afford one.
