Hmmm Ugly? or what?
This is the road version, not the Adventure but I don't think that's going to look much better...
I always loved the look of a fully blown GSA but now? Seriously? The front head unit looks very similar to a Tri Explorer... no?
It'll probably grow on me...

Looks like you could spear someone with that!

Surely thay wont adorn the Adventure with all that breakable crap will they?

The real change on this model is the engine as its going to be 65% liquid cooled for the first time on a Boxer engine. Those two side pieces hide twin coolers. The exhaust headers now exit at the bottom and the throttle bodies at the top. It produces 125bhp up 15bhp on the previous model.
Having an Adventure version myself I'm little concerned with looks anyway ;D ;D ;D The GS was never a pretty bike - part of its charm for me.
I thihnk its more in line with Triumph, Ducati et al in producing what is really a road bike with off road ergonomics without the intent to actually go off road. The Adventure version is 18 months away if normal BMW launch strategy plays its normal hand.
Did you know over 170,000 GS's have now been sold.

How is that more ugly than previous GS'?

To the loyal GS riders they will still buy & like it. Not for me though

The previous GS, was, lurvvvvelyyyyyy! Especially the 2012 GSA in Triple black... mmmmm...
Snowy, I think it's a shame they are following the crowd, BMW was always the odd one out to me...in a good way... now it's following the rest, design wise. :'(

do you mean the whole bike? :P looks like its got a beak, might look better if it wasn't bright red?

New design. The front end looks the same as the Suzuki DR750 I had in 1988
