BMW R1300GS

Post by KungFooBob »

145bhp (10 more than the 12050)
237kg (supposedly 12kg lighter than the 1250)

IMHO, it's lost a lot of the previous GS' purposeful rugged looks. Like they given up the pretence that someone might take it off road. It looks like a big NC750X.

It's got a bash plate and some protection for the lower fork tubes. Dunno what that cowling over the front suspension unit is all about and the beak's wrong.

At least my thread was in a different part of the forum.
