I’m not the target audience for a GS Adventure - however, I have to say, I think I like it more than the other models. It’s got a sort of Anima, Cyberpunk-esc look with the squarer shapes and larger, flat metal-looking tank panels. I’m sure when people have the time to let their initial reaction abate, and get the chance to see one in person - they’ll warm to the new, daring direction BMW have gone in.

It is a more quirky, bold design, which looks like it takes some styling elements from the big-tanked Paris Dakar bikes of the 80's. Looks better in the flesh when you can see the curved part of the tank. The images released make it look very slab like. Will be interesting to see how many they have sold when we look back in a couple of years. I like it!

@Helmigurt 23 күн бұрын

The HD Pan Am also automatically lowers the suspension if set-up this way. No need to press a button. The difference though is that the new GS can also do it at the front suspension. The HD can only do it at the rear which is why probably the effect is more pronounced on the GS. I tested the HD Pan Am fitted with it and even though I’m tall enough to really need it I found it to be a great comfort extra.

@tonyciriello6872 23 күн бұрын

The "looks". Function over form for sure. I happen to like it but its personal for everyone. My question for any "auto-box", why not have a clutch lever? You don't need to "fan" the clutch until you do. Any life long rider should agree. (i think) Just like the shift lever that has no mechanical connection to the box, a clutch lever could be the same. Just sends a signal that you want to disengage the clutch. So simple yet could make such a difference to someone who wants the same level of control as a "standard" some of the time but the luxury of an auto-box most of the time. Do it now !!

@NicholasNormile 22 күн бұрын

That sounds like a completely unnecessarily complicated approach when you could just have a normal clutch lever with a quickshifter. Realistically there's no reason to have an automatic on a motorcycle.
