Hi JB
Finally found a thread so the definitive answer and tested by owners on UKGSER
https://www.ukgser.com/forums/showt...nting?highlight=BMW+1150+gs+adventure+top+box
For all those looking at this in the future, you want a Givi top box plate “E251”
Hence that’s the one I’ll be ordering.
Have someone interested on the bike but both of us are 50:50 I think. I would love the extra power of the 2010-2012 GSA (last of the oils heads) but I would not love the bills related to owning one whenever it’s mechanics fail, which seems far more often than the 1150. Yes yes 1-2 owners never had any issues, but you only have to start looking at adverts and invariably everyone has done a host of gearboxes / final drive / starter motors / insert here the many 1200 GS issues.
Hence the thinking to stick to my trusty 1150GSA.
Although the extra power of the 2010-2012 GSA would be nice. Arghhhhhh!
Never had any trouble with my 2012 R1200GSA in the 48,000 miles I had it, but I’ve never had any mechanical issues with the 2001 R1150GS either in 115,000 miles. R1150GS is still in the garage, next to the KTM 1290 SAS the GSA was traded in against.
