Definitely going to look at them along with the new 1300.

@MikeB60 Mike, you didn’t tell me the bike will be available in my Favorite BMW Color… Fire towers are cool, Poland is too, I guess. “Yeah, Let’s Go”

Here ya go guys, a little James Bond chase scene with some excellent drone footage.

^ That was cool!

Only 40 lbs lighter than a GS1300, and a chain? It better be A LOT cheaper then. Well, you need to change the darn shaft every 36K miles now, so maybe a shaft is not that attractive anymore to some.

It’s about $10k less

I’ve been in the mindset of wanting a traveling adventure bike (see big GS) but thinking a bit more about it, my GS has been a “trailer traveler” (I know)  the last couple of years. The 900 could be the ticket if you could make that seat comfortable for at least a couple hundred miles.

Just strap the pillow from the motel on the seat. I think they will give you a new cover every night.

I don’t think the next customer will appreciate it but, I could stuff the pillow down my Stich.  Keeping the bike looking good is very important.

Why would you think a stock BMW seat would be uncomfortable?  😀

Truth bomb right there. ^  All but one of my BMW’s got aftermarket seats. Why should I expect anything different.  I do like the pillow idea though.  “Honey what the heck, your breath smells like ass”  Half throttle?
