TEWKS Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 At the 1:55 mark we have a pretty good looking Manhattan Metallic RT. Ok BMW, stop messing with me, let's see the GS & GSA please!! Link to comment
Ponch Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Pass on a lot of it. I like some of the blues, but the other stuff, nah. I don't like the Manhattan metallic at all. Tired of all the silver/grays/neutral crap. Boring. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Gold or Black wheels is the big news? BMW R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS Adventure Cross-spoked wheels gold or black can now be ordered for all colors/styles Link to comment
92Merc Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'd have to pass on that Manhattan color. Not sure what to call that. I like the Blue Planet color. But i don't care for the chrome strips on the saddlebags or the windshield. I'd prefer the shield pieces were the regular flat black, or even a glossier color. I like my Ebony Metallic much better for non-standard colors. Or Alpine White and even the Mars Red. Link to comment

But the Manhattan color looks interesting and would love to see it in person. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Yeah, ditch the chrome and I could work with it. Link to comment
RandyShields Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I wonder if they will ever bring back glacier green and opal blue, two of the prettiest colors ever on an RT? 1 Link to comment

I so agree. <<<<---- See my profile picture. I've since had my side cases painted as well. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Now to my eyes it looks close to the Tundra Green which I thought was a nice looking green. Well, maybe not that close after pulling up the pic. Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It shows the RT with the regular gauge cluster. I would have thought they went with the TFT screen. Some of the colors are interesting, but I think I will stick with my Mars Red Metallic. Oh, yeah. Link to comment

But the tach and speedo are still mechanical. Honestly, I don't see all that much of a difference. 1 Link to comment

No, Boston Green was the best in MHO . Fernando had a couple and I lusted after one before I got my graphite 99., for a good price. Glacier wood have worked for me but the 'Boston' was the cats meow.

TEWKS Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 I think they need to try a green somewhere in the GS line, makes sense to me. Link to comment
