That is how I felt when I saw it at the International Motorcycle Show , but I am 27 so that should be expected as I am definitely on the lower age range for people who get this bike.

Nice. You beat me. I'm 30 and thought I was the youngest in this group to get it. Congrats I had my 2005 GS at age 27.

I am 39. First boxer GS when I was 33, first GS when I was 28.

I turned 27 two days ago... So formally I bought it at 26 ;)

Well, BMW is doing something right wrangling in the younger crowd Unless this bike blows up, I'm a GS'r for life.

I am 67, first GS in 1998 (1100GS) followed by 6 others (1150GS x2, 1200GS, 1200GSA x2, 1200GS) and by the 25th March on the 2013 GS

I like 'em

Your vocal faith in them is one thing, but focusing your energies on the skeptics (or the fearful) borders on heavy handedness. Enjoy your anticipation, and your new bike. But if you have problems, we all expect you to adopt the same silence as the father company.

If I have problems, I'll be posting all about them on here. I have nothing to hide

Only down sides - still can't believe the FD doesn't have a breather and at 45, i was the youngest punter in the shop. Looks like the Grey hairs are single handedly putting the economy right..

I'm 37, and expecting to be the youngest there tomorrow

We need some younger 12 GS riders here in the UK

I can pretend to be 23 if you buy me one.
(I'll move to UK for up to a month if needed)
