7gs

I'm 81. A few months ago my 12GS was getting a bit heavy so I sold it and bought a 7GS. Just returned from a 6k mile ride in central and eastern Europe on the 7GS. Do I miss the 12? Yes but the 7 is still nice and it let's me keep riding. Ride what you have. RIDE!
 
You're right, Chris. Even I forgot that the lowly F bikes were the last sad downward rung on the BMW hierarchical order. Please, BMW Motorad, put them out of their misery!

You guys are forgetting the scooters!


I think I saw the spy shots of the new C650GS!:rolleyes so the scooters might not be the bottom of the heap, just kidding no spy shots , so scooters still the bottom.
 
The GS is the number one selling bike for a reason. I recently purchased a GSA, and was surprised to find that BMW has hidden a sport bike disguised as a GS under the skin! While the bike can be used off road it's absolutely a blast to use the gear assist pro, to rocket out of the curves. The upright seating position gives all day comfort, and the wide handlebars enable effortless steering through the twistees. I absolutely love all the electronic wizardry, ABS Pro, and dynamic ESA are fantastic, not to mention Rides Modes Pro, that now offer 5 different configurations for throttle and chassis setup. GPS is now integrated into the bike and provides enhanced bike functions, as well as superb mapping. The technology makes this bike the best I've ever ridden, the wethead boxer provides all the power needed to make this a great sport bike. :dance

I couldn't agree more
My first BMW ever,
After riding one on a Spain FrancePyrenees tour Im stunned and now drink the cool aide
as to all of the above,I remember them as stodgy old mans mounts,not anymore
In 50 years of motorcycling my 1300 miles from new in October 2017 GS LC is the finest most versatile bike I've ever had,
Now instead of turning back on every dirt road I pass now I can go down them if I choose.
If it gets too gnarly I can still turn back! Never got far on my Concours C-14 before I spun around.
The GS is super comfy on the slab and corners like a sport bike,Big time torque monster
I'm rambling
Ps. I also don't get the GSA thing ......I'd feel like a poseur
If your trying to make a big dirt bike better why would you make it bigger and heavier??
also don't get Harley's either but thats I new perhaps a new thread
