I will be getting a new 07 R1200GS to replace the Sprint on Tuesday. I'm so excited, I have been on several test rides, I love this bike. :)

Now I just need a long trip to go on!!! :bmw:

Hey Bo, Tuesday is an eternity away, signing the papers takes forever as the bike sits there looking at you and when are we leaving on this long trip thang?

I figure a couple of months to get her broken in and get me use to her. Take her on a few trips to the hill country maybe up to Oklahoma and go on some fire roads then I should be ready to go some where fun. I just don't know where I want to go. :)

Congrats I'm sure you will love the bike, I really had fun riding the wifes GS till it got lowered, I can only hope I will like the GSA as much, it has a little more angle to the steering head, (just about 1 degree) I hope it does not effect the cornering, because I really liked how it cornered!

I have it!!!!!! Got to ride it a total of 35 miles. Now I don't want to go to work tomorrow. Now I need to take some pictures, it will never look as good as it does today.

Here it is, I took some pictures before I get it all dirty, and before I put all that junk on. :bmw:

It's a 2007 that was yellow, but I bought 2006 Ocean Blue panels for it. This bike is cheap and easy to change colors.

Awesome! ya know you could be like our loved Marc and get a spare set of different color panels and change the color every now and then<grin>

Enjoy that bike, between seeing eveyone get thiers and Bob at the dealer calling me every day to give me a status (and a hard time ) about mine, i'm pretty darn excited about getting my GS in

Looks like great fun except that last little bit. I think I'll break it in before I break it. I think I'll start out a little less adventurous. What happened to the GS, did you fixit or replace it. :)
