Nice. Be interested to know when you have put some miles on her if the gearbox is any different from your 14 bike.

I've put just over a thousand miles on my October bike, and the gearbox is much nicer!

The upshift (assist) is so much smoother.
The downshift (assist) is easier.
Getting into 1st at any time is easier.
Finding neutral (at times impossible on my 2014) is again easier.
Overall, I'm very happy with the new model.

Just what I found when I switched to a 17 GS.
Like the colour scheme BTW - unusually for me, given that it's not grey!

Cheers for the info. Looks like BMW have tweaked the gearbox. Good to know. Thanks.

Just back from holiday (not on the bike unfortunately), that is in June when I go to Luxembourg
. I agree, that everything is smoother although I didn't really have any issues with the old bike.Steve P

I like the blue/red decals on white. Are they a factory, dealer or aftermarket option?
