Godspeed Kevin.

Word is the US launch has been moved to a high school soccer field in Omaha. The on-road routes are being coned off at a nearby Walmart.

I guess if get to go to the national rally next year the demo fleet ride will be a bit more sedate.

First review is out! http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/firstrides/122_1305_2013_bmw_r1200gs_first_ride/

Sounds ok except for:

"The engine is a little less tractor-like in slow off road situations......it is a little less friendly when lugging through a tricky section of dirt"

That lugging ability of my existing GS comes in handy in the tight going.

Came across this firstride report from Motorcyclist. This thread will be a place to post all new 1200GS reviews. Post away!

"Pricing has yet to be announced. It’s likely the base GS will be close in price to the current bike—$16,150 with ABS but without ESA or ASC. As with the current bike, adding all the options will probably take you above $20K.

Thanks for posting.

Looks like I'll get one in 7-10years, after my current 2008GS has 350K-500K on it.

Just heard that one of the gerno's got killed on one of the R1200GS's today, very sad news
