Ach du lieber Gott! Hier endlich kommt die neue Kinderbimmer! Ausgezeichnet!

ja du hast Recht, und so ein netter Hintern. I partcuarly wie der Schalldämpfer!

Just thought I'd share a price update on a couple of BMW models I'm considering... the single cylinder G650GS (no ABS) is 元99000 incl. tax/fees while the G650GS (ABS) is 元136,200. Meanwhile the twin cylinder F650GS (ABS) (detuned 800cc) is 元198,000 incl. taxes/fees. These prices are out-the-door (just have to pay the applicable license plate and insurance).

$50k for a GS adventure . You got to be kidding. And that's with no plates

Not sure where to post this item, but here seems good as any.

The geniuses at BMW, whose F650GS was originally a thumper, then became a twin powered by a retarded 800cc engine, not to be confused with the F800GS, which used the same engine without an unretarded ECU, while still producing a G650GS that is actually the old 650cc thumper, though made by Loncin in China, now have cleared up all the confusion by launching a new bike to replace the F650GS that uses the same 800cc engine as the F800GS but with a slightly less retarded ECU that they call -- drum roll please! -- the F700GS!

When BMW decided to update the F 650 GS for 2013, it was clearly in a generous mood. The folks in Bavaria gave the street-biased enduro model more horsepower and torque, a shorter gear ratio for quicker acceleration, a second front disc brake, new switchgear and instrumentation, and updated styling. Although displacement of its 798cc parallel twin is unchanged, BMW rechristened the bike as the F 700 GS to dispense with confusion over the model name (though F 750 GS would be closer to the truth). And it did all of this while lowering the base price by $165, to $9,990.

Confusion dispensed?

Brilliant!

Tourfella maker Du Rui posts today (via Weixin) that BMW has announced Chinawide, unified retail prices for four bikes:

F700GS 120,000 RMB (I vaguely recall this is an output-retarded mutation of the 800cc twin, as is the F650GS)
R1200GS 200,000 RMB
K1600GT 360,000 RMB
K1600GTL 395,000

Ouch.

These prices were announced at the Shanghai International Car Show, which is ongoing.

That 元120000 price for the F700GS (twin cylinder) is the base model excluding ABS me thinks. As it is the standard G650GS (single cylinder) was 元99000 while the G650GS (with ABS) was 元136,200 so an additonal 元37200 for the addition of the ABS. If one were to factor in the addition of ABS to the F700GS base price it would amount to somewhere in the vicinity of 元157000 which would seem about right given where the 700 would sit price wise between the G650GS (single), F650GS (twin) and F800GS (twin).

Proof will be in the pudding.

Wondering about the release and pricing of the new F8GSADV in China: http://www.bmw-motorrad.com/com/en/i..._overview.html
Sounds like a good long distance touring bike for China's roads..... especially the 2013 limited launch edition model.

ps: had a 30 min. test ride with a BMW1200GS (water-cooled) the other day, nice new bike but large and heavy in my personal opinion.....

[bikerdoc]

Just mentioned about that same bike www.motorcycle.com with Euphonius an hour or so ago. Pricing will be in the 200K+ range I'd suspect. I think it'd be ideal for China, except pricing and servicing options when away from main centres or home base. TIC where a hammer and adjustable wrench on the only tools one needs. As for the 2013 R1200GS being anything but on the lightweight side, TBRacing, you are just to accustomed to your Duc! Not that is a bad thing... anyway the ideal bike seems to be JH600 if only it had ABS... we'll see what comes of the CFMoto/KTM adventurer when it is launched (ETA 411 TBA). 10-4. "click"
