    I put 35 ltrs into it when it was finished. It has rebates at front so that it will fit with the original storage bins still in place on inner side of fairing . ..

    have taken your advice and ordered a catalogue from Touratech AG.

    u can search online. was not impressed with there tankbag i bought recentlyso sold it..  Buy from the cherman as they take off VAT. also tell them to pack as tight as possible eg pannier liner bags inside panniers as waste of freight you are paying for if they make a huge box

    BMW luggage is a waste of time on the older bikes.  Over priced, not big enuf with gimmicks. Good to see they finally woke up and on 1200 adv are using the decent stuff. Even bringing this from germany it is worth the cost. I am not that keen on top boxs as puts weight high up at the rear of bike taking weight off front wheel. Roll bag is better. I know not lockable but u reallyshould carry valubles with you. http://www.touratech.de

    and so...an F650GS it is. will have to wait a couple of weeks because ExperienceBMW doesn't have any in stock. just as well as i'm soon off to Singapore for its inaugural Formula One GP. the first in the world for a night race too. hope to join you good folks on lunch rides when i've taken delivery.

    we do have more than one bike shop in New Zealand that sells BMW's

    I saw an F800GS, in black and yellow, in the flesh at Ruapuna on Sunday last.  The mechanic from 'Rides brought it out and I had a sit on it.  It looks awesome frankly, quite tall which suits my long legs but the main stand looks as if I made it, if you know what I mean.  It's like a 1200gs on a diet, I've read a good article on them and they say the fuel economy is amazing. I think $20,000 is a bit steep especially when it was parked near a 2008 GSXR750 👿 that costs $16995 (full fairing and all that) anyway, I wouldn't say no to one. 😎

    yeah but the technology difference between bmw & sudszuki, well ask yaself

    had one new as a Police bike (TIC model in 1996) we had six. my plate began with 3. not a bad bike. wobbled a bit at 195kmh but went away and topped out at 225kmh. Ya had to get to those jobs on the motorway quickly.
