RandyShields Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Just saw this the other day -- it's a short video of some GS legends and the history of the GS -- at the same time with a teaser on the just-released mid-sized GS models in the black and gold livery. Very well done video and great looking new bikes! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=40+years+of+bmw+gs&docid=13826113167775&mid=A99DEC4736CCB4BF6AA1A99DEC4736CCB4BF6AA1&view=detail&FORM=VIRE 4 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Yup, they’re holding back on the R 1250 GS & GSA. Maybe something new is coming? Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 The GSA...I’d like to see them integrate the regular GS beak (or similar) along with the factory tank pad that is on the regular GS. Some version of black, be it TB or the Bumblebee yellow accents. That’s all, I’m not being difficult. 1 Link to comment

TEWKS Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I would imagine, we’re going to see what they have to offer in the big GS/A line by the end of the month. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 It was suggested over at ADV Rider that color options will be the only GS/A change for 21. Not sure how strong or reliable that info is but the poster seemed to have an in. Anybody itching to see something new? Or, is it just me... Link to comment
RandyShields Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Not a big fan of the current 1250 colors. Would love to see a return so some of the RT 1100 green and blue colors, but doubt that is going to happen. 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yeah, I was hoping for a little more than a color change myself. We’ll see, maybe a surprise awaits! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Prunelles over on ADV seems to have inside dealer info that suggested a slight GS facelift, (details sketchy) (Possibly adaptive cruise and cornering headlights) he did have a picture of a TFT display with integrated navigation. Early October we should see more according to him and his sources. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Our Adv guy Prunelles put up another picture. We’re getting closer! updated dash I assume old setup Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 That might be the 850 Adventure. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Sifting through the replies on ADV, a European dealer is telling a few that there will be a 40th anniversary edition 1250 GS / A. I assume they are going to use yellow trim as they did with the 850s’. Also mentioned was a triple black. The other tidbit was an extra large TFT display on the 21 RT. All just speculation at this point but better than nothing. Link to comment

TEWKS Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I like the window-dressing I guess, but dem gold wheels are back. No Gold Wheels here... Or, here... Ok, quit your bitchin’ Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Yeah, they would add to the make it pop effect. 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Yeah I like, but not sure it’s going to be enough to say goodbye to my two children. TB & RT 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 They are beginning to get nervous. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Sunset on the Savanna The TB is back! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Opine Time. I think they gave up at the tank graphics but other than that, the TB is as Freddie Prinze would say, Looking Good! The neat dual purpose European turn signals gonna make it here? Probably not! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 First dealership pictures. Link to comment
Rougarou Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 When you bringing it home? You're due for new!!! 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I know, even though I’m not wearing them out, life is short! Trade values (over the phone) have taken a hit (time does that I guess) so we have that to think about. Also, I’ve been advised that when manufacturers paint their bikes black, it’s a strong possibility that it may be the last year before a complete upgrade. I only want to buy one new bike, not one this year and another one next year. But, going back to that “life is short” thing. Link to comment
Hosstage Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Once I get my bike the way I like it, and being the cheap sob that I am, I tend to run them into the ground before moving on. Just like with dogs, the new one is never as good as the old one, until it's old too! 1 Link to comment

On my 2006 Rt, I was gonna use it as a trade for the GSA, but when the dealer said that they'd likely put it in the back and use for spare parts, I just didn't have the heart to let it go. She's got 140k and several bruises from the two laydowns in ice, but still going strong. I alternate the RT on my short week for work and the GSA for the long week. 1 Link to comment
Hosstage Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 My "new" one is already 13 years old, good for another 10 at least! Link to comment
