BMW GS Update

[Madhatter]

me thinks a Beemer is my next bike .... but when ? spring of 22 sounds good.... maybe.

I'd go H-D before I'd go Beemer. But, it's a moot point since I'm staying Tenere.

 

[Madhatter]

no one get to excited about that ..... I have a wife .

which GS ?, the old 1200 LC, the old 1250… .or the new 1300?

 

[Madhatter]

I will ask my wife …..

I will ask my wife …..

Nooooo. don't let your wife decide. For her, all the GS will be the same, but you know that it is not the same….
GS 1300

GS 1250

GS 1200 LC

GS 1200 air

 

[Madhatter]

How did you know that’s my wife?

 

[Sierra1]

Wouldn't want that stress.

 

[Madhatter]

I agree , don’t care how pretty they are , somebody somewhere is tired of her crap !

 

[Madhatter]

I think her list is fairly long.

 

[Madhatter]

so where is the news on an upgraded GS to a 1300 ?

 

[Sierra1]

I think it was mentioned in a recent H-D PA review. It was referred to. I haven't read anything on it specifically. Not interested. I'm sure they will say nothing but wonderful things about it.

Yup

I'd rather have the KTM and not pay to be another of BMW's Beta test subjects

"M"? So, is there a non "M" version? Or, is the "M" going to be the 1300, while the "ordinary" version remains 1250? Do they charge extra to remove the passenger seat?

 

[Madhatter]

trying to compete with the 160 hp boys . really , will only result in lousy milage . an extra 30 hp plus gain in torque means beefed up components and more weight . so where does this end . I'm thinking the Tenere could use a bump in power but if this bump destroys low end grunt ,don't want it. my gen 1 was a tractor down low, gen 2 , got to work the clutch (if I remember correctly get 2 got some extra Hp over the gen 1 ) for just riding on the street the gen 2 is fine .

That's a very short rear end on the bike.

Interesting, but I'm guzzling orange kool-aid now and, at the moment, don't see a flavor change in my near term.

Pulled a trigger on a new R1250GS, what an awesome bike!

 

[Sierra1]

Look like they reduced the fairing size?
