    I have just bought a 1150gs Adventure, I thought that the Adv came with driving lights and head light protector as standard. The bike I have does not have these items, does this mean they would have been optional extras.Could some one enlighten me please Just curious , bike is neat.Les

    I had a 1150 adventure for 3 years. This is a great bike does yours have the low adventure gear box.All the items you list are extras so you'll have the fun of building a great bike.Below is a couple of forum sites which will help you out on the gear you will buy.http://www.ukgser.com/forums/index.phphttp://www.ukgser.com/forums/index.php

    I'm not sure but I dont think it has the really low first gear, I believe  they were available with two differnt boxes.it definately is not a crawler low gear Les

    If you go into BMW they will be able to tell you as they will down load your bike details on the computer. Other wise you will find the bike will change through the gears quick and before you know it you will be in top gear. 6th gear will be OK at 65-70kph. On the standard 1150gs 6th gear was really high and 100kph was the best spped for 6th gearThe enduro box was not just a low first gear. This was my 1150100_0018.jpg

    thanks for that, As I'm still recovering from a bit f an accident , I have not been able to ride the bike yet, but had my son take it for a couple of Hundred K ride yesterday, and his first comment on getting back , was how good 6th was,, Able to pull from 50 k right on up to when you had enough.Sounds like it has the enduro box.And your bike may be its brother, I would not be able to tell them apart from the photo'snow only need to sort out the ABS as it is showing a fault Thanks Les
