TEWKS Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 If real, (looks to be) they gave us the new motor, radiator shrouds & newly designed upper crash bars. ADV Pat Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 You know you want some Oh yeah I do! But, I must ask the Magic Wizard will there be a Triple Black paint option? Pat Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 That's a boxer sound for sure! https://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/en/models/adventure/r1250gs.html#/section-experience-the-sound-of-the-new-r-1250-gs Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 I read they're a little quieter than last year's bike. Good-bad don't really matter to me. Now, I'm not really lovin' any of the color options presented. Good thing probably, we'll just call it a safety net for now. Pat Link to comment
tallman Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Pat, Buy one, with yourself as bamker. Make monthly payments to the bike account until you see the right one. In a year, or 18 months, or? it will add up. Throw money and bikes sold into GSA and voila, success. If you don't buy, that amount of money saved can be funmun... Best wishes. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Good advice Tim, thank you! Pat Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Now If they threw this paint job & graphics at the new GSA, I'd probably have to ignore Tim's sound advice. I'm picturing this bike with black steel panniers and some crash protection bars. A GSA Lite. Whip may already carry the patent on this idea though. Pat Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Pat, your forgetting my triple black 12GS with 3 black Jesse bags. It even lived in your garage once on the way north. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 No, I remember it well! And thinking a bit more about the GSA/GS debate, you never ran out of fuel on all your worldly travels, that I know of. Pat Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) I regret selling that bike tho it was getting a bit heavy for me. Kept the 3 bags on a shelf in my garage/wonderful memories on the 30+ country stickers. No, never ran out of fuel tho I was worried a time or two in Alaska.

TEWKS Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 No, never ran out of fuel tho I was worried a time or two in Alaska. I bet I know what worried you. Not sure if I would have been quick enough, but my bike did a lot of idling in Glacier! Pat Link to comment
