I know the standard GS would probably be better for me as the extended tank range is t that important to me but I think there pretty ugly....well apart from the SE model-the only standard GS I think I would ever consider buying! http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad47/BlackStreetTriple/992154AB-9164...

Uh oh- I wish I hadn't done that
I have always loved the look of the bike GS Adventure bikes but always thought that I'd be too wee to actually own one. I have had a short ride on a normal GS and although its tall it was ok (but to be honest I think the standard GS is damn ugly!) While up at the dealer picking up my pannier chattin...

I found this on my last bike (street triple) and was an easy fix swapping the throttle tube from another bike in the range (speed triple 1050). This new from the triumph dealer was £9 and was swapped in 5 minutes. Anybody know if another BMW doesn't use the ecentric throttle say the GS or R and it c...

I would love the different colour wheels (I am a mega fan of white rims!!) but it would mean powdercoating one of the wheels (so they matched) prior to sale time unless I sold the R12S in the custom colours.... Like this?? http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad47/BlackStreetTriple/CC0CC5E8-3AF7-478E-...

Does anybody have a friendly BMW dealer/parts man??
Just a shot in the dark - I am finally going to stump up to replace my missing RHS R1200S pannier which made a bid for freedom never to be seen again...
