...and I don't really have any interest in a non-boxer.
To me that is what makes it a BMW!

I don’t believe the R18 is selling well as a cruiser, at least it’s not around here.
It’s a lot cheaper to try that engine in other platforms than scrap it altogether.
Who knows, it might actually be popular as a GSA ...
Lots of people thought the original R80 GS was too big to be a “dirt bike”, and we know how that worked out.
In reality most GS’s are used as commuters or touring bikes, but are still lighter than a Goldwing.
Time will tell ...
I just dont get it?
They have proven they can make any size boxer motor they want so give us our light weight boxer!
450 lbs or less, with a pretty square motor like 90HP 90TQ, it can have just plain Jane everything, just put it on a diet. I really dont need or want most of the new driver aids they have, and I do not need Drive Modes, or push button shocks.

a BIG +1 on this from me.
A 450lb bike wet with 90 HP and the best suspension possible is the new bike I would buy in a minute.
Bike HP is nothing but a marketing ploy...my d.. is bigger than yours!! How many riders max out their bikes at top speed? Have you? If you have I salute you and your high speed riding and fully using the HJP!
I will not buy a bigger heavy GS. I will not replace my RS if the new model is heavier, or does not have a significantly better suspension. Current RS suspension is pretty good...spending a $2k in aftermarket will make it the best.
The F800 series of bike are NOT middleweight...they are porkers! Poor design....Come on BMW make a world class middle weigh bike!
Dude, you need one of these! (I sold mine before I killed myself on it). It dyno’d @110hp rear wheel. With knobbies, when it hooked up, you could barely hold on to it! On paved twisties it was untouchable…a BIG +1 on this from me.

Well total shock failures that come and go and more and more being reported.
TFT issues that are not resolving.
And I just read of a fuel pump issue.
The only constant is the shock issue and TFT connectivity.
I also think I just read of a cam/follower issue on one.
I guess the brakes just dont count any longer?
No matter, a 1300 CC and 750 LB bike should cure those issues.
Well, if a new r1300gs is coming would think very recent buyers of a gs would feel bad not waiting a month or so for the reveal of the new gs line.
Back in the day had a K75T (just a windscreen), had to put some thick rubber backed material on each side just under the tank to kick off the darn heat coming up from that area.
Indeed that would be a change to have reserve on a wethead boxer bike. Maybe we call the new all water cooled engine 'wetblock'I'm in but only if it has reverse !!! LOL
