Was wondering if anyone out there has the new water cooled gs with the factory lowered suspension... I am thinking about ordering a new one and was looking for some real user feed back.... Thanks...
thank you very much...If all goes as planned, I should pick up my 2015 low suspension GS on Thursday. Will report back after I have a few miles under my belt...
I do most of my riding in rural western NC, where a lot of the roads go from paved to gravel... Also some fire roads, but not single track. Although, my drive-way is gravel, 3/10 of a mile long, with a 13% grade and switchbacks, so just getting home can be an experience!thank you very much...
will you be doin some off road?
Is that a typo and you meant 26"????...I have a 36" inseam...
did you get the GS or GSA?I've had my low suspension GS for 325 miles now, so it is still really a new bike for me. My initial impression: I love it! I test rode the standard height bike and I don't notice any greater stiffness on the low suspension model (all road riding so far). With the ESA in Soft it is very compliant and I usually keep it in Normal for general use - although soft gives me enough sag to easily back peddle it out of the garage - which is something I can't do with most standard height bikes. With a 29 inch inseam getting both feet down on an adventure bike is well - unusual, so this is a real winner for me... It is also a breeze to get up on the center stand, so they must have modified that too. I keep asking myself, why is BMW the only manufacturer to have figured out all riders do not have +32 inch inseams?
GS, no problems cornering at all!did you get the GS or GSA?
any hassle cornering?
That's the way it was with mine...Nope believe that is wrong..
I've gathered that the lowered suspension model comes with a low seat version from the factory...
These 2 factors combined put the bike at 31.5"/32.3" (seat in low/high posit.)...
One can ask to swap for a standard seat height at the dealer free of charge...this raises the seating by 1/2 inch approx...
I believe this is the correct info..
