Thanks guys.
@ rockinggokul- The gear lever is at the same place like the jap bikes. But some of the fully faired bikes like the RT has it enclosed in the fairing and through a hole in the fairing only the stub that you tap up or down protrudes out.
I dont have the spec sheets, but you can find it at this link after choosing the model of motorcycle (R1200RT or R1200GS etc)
BMW Motorrad USA
Although most owners in India dont reveal the final cost, I understood one of the R1200GS in Bangalore cost about 17 laks after customs.
@ yaser_kb100- Ofcourse I remember the K1. Even I had a fancy for that bike when introduced. I think it also won the best design bike of the year award then.Leave a comment:

Hats Off to you Haroon bhai - amazing thread - and WOW now that was some compilation.
Though I myself haven't ever ridden a BMW, I have been a big fan of them since my childhood days and the BMW K1 was the first one to capture my fancies. This breed isn't about top speed or the 1/4 mile thing. These machines are in a league of their own and its good to know that there is someone who admires them so much and more importantly spent all the time and efforts to share the pics and info with us here.Leave a comment:

GR8 THREAD
certainly almost all the features u elaborated upon are unheard of here in india
silly question where is the gear lever?
any spec. sheet?
BMW bikes are certainly THE most unconventional i have ever come across.
goddamn taxes in India though 9 lacs sounds good for the features it offers
but just wondering what the price would become if imported !!!
(not that i'd buy one,unless i fall upon a fortune!!
)

I am in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), whereas Dubai is a city located in another country- United Arab Emirates. Here in Jeddah, the blue R1200GS in the pics is a 2009 fully loaded bike and it retails for Saudi Riyals 73,000 (Rupees 9.3 lakhs). Its a little more cheaper in Dubai or USA.
Presently in Jeddah mid-day temperature is about 48 deg C (its damn humid also). In summer we finish our ride by 11:00am when the temp is about 43 deg C. Very few of us ride to work on bikes. Its only on our week-end (thursday & friday) that we do rides, although some of us do ride to work in winter. With the Airflow jacket, while we ride its fine, but once you stop, you can feel the heat.Leave a comment:

Hi Haroon,
was curious to know how much would a brand new GS1200 come for in Dubai or where you are. and how easy is it to get a job there. and also a question if it is so hot in Dubai how easy you feel while riding? i am sure you wont be able to ride to office with all that heat...Leave a comment:

No, The blue GS here is the regular 2009 model. The Special Edition is white in color with few cosmetic differences like a smoked winshield, two-tone seat, aluminium cylinder covers etc (nothing so special in my view).Originally posted by silver_falcon_46 View Post
It is to celebrate the rolling out of the 500,000 GS bikes (starting with the R80GS) from the BMW factory.Leave a comment:

$106 is ok for a 19ah battery i guess. But why 80 for an 8.6Ah. I guess there is something to do with the weight and size after all.Originally posted by Haroon View PostLeave a comment:
