My new JH600

KTM UFO - that may be - BUT... ever ridden one oft those 990s? Very addictive I can tell ya. The UFO look is one thing, which doesn't make me switch over from GS boxers... Based on your taste you must be rather in my age-group I guess. One thing we have to get used to: The XT500 times are over. Material has technically improved a lot and we all appreciate quality. Therefore we sometimes need to compromise a bit and get away from the old looks. Not really true because having said that, this is the ride I built recently with my friends in Germany and went to Iceland on it:

"Old stuff" still rules...

AW.

(This is my post no. 100 - so it has to be special hahaha)

Yes, airhead GS rules, and it will take tens of years if ever anything can beat the sheer authority of tastefully modded GS like yours here. I liked a lot of your versions, BMW badge white/blue colour scheme on the chassis and on the bench and that reflector on the fork. Too much praise so have toi criticise too, I would had liked to see a bigger headlight, it could contribute to the utilitarian authority and give some "all seeing eye" punch to the bike :) In addition to giving more light.

Some day I am gonna buy a book which tells me everything of develepment of GS BMW. I want to know what the engineers thought.

EDIT: Those two GS are more than bikes, they are like faithfull assistants with strong personality and character made to serve well in both good and bad times xD
