Oy, c'mon you GSA owners, lets "get it on" for Dale. Would the dims off a 1200 GS with BM panniers work Dale?

Mike, Thanks but I'm specifically looking for the Adv dimensions .... I know the regular GS will fit in the space I have ... was wondering about the Adv. Negotiating the purchase of a second bike with the SWMBO has been reasonbly easy ... telling her I need to modify the garage because of it may not be :-) Dale

I will measure mine during the weekend and sen you the dimensions.

Dale have a look on the motorrad site: GS http://www.bmwmotorrad.co.za/bikes/models/default.asp?Id=48 GSA http://www.bmwmotorrad.co.za/bikes/models/default.asp?Id=49 In both cases goto the bottom of the looong page. Total width including mirrors GS 940 mm GSA 980 mm I did not spot anything about the panniers. But I do believe panniers are typically narrower than the mirrors. Your answer would be to go for the R 1200 RT - ONLY 905 mm wide !! ;)

Dale, panniers are removeable, the mirrors can turn in, so just the bars. NOW Learn from Ladies....they start HUGE changes with small steps, a smile, then a hug, then a kiss... then a child, then a new house. So first get the bike, then if you need, do the garage!:-)

Sounds like you have been there before Neil, remember women are crafty manipulators, men fall a over k to please she who governs. Ignore opinions, heed facts. Feet on the pegs, always.
