Trailwings on R 1200 GS

Just wondering about what i saw.
Was out and about at the bike night the other night and saw a "NEW" GS1200 with Trail Wings. The same as the standard on the V strom. Is this the standard for the GS. I thought they would go with a deutsche marke like Metzeler? Did not locate the owner so I guess i'll ask here. (Canadian dealers GS1200)
Cheers!

RE: Trail wings on GS1200

I've seen 3 models of the same year (07) sitting side by side on a showroom floor with 3 different type tires fitted from the factory, Trailwing, Anakee & Tourance.

I saw the GS '07 with Tourance and Anakees in the showroom floor. I would not have bought one equipped with Trailwings, or ask them for changing with the wheels from the other one. Mine had the Anakees.

tires

My GS came with Anakees. On the showroom floor were other GS with Tourance, the new Bridgestone and Dunlop 607's. So far the Anakees (6000 miles) are OK but my experience with them is the same as on my DL1000, the rear tire makes and incredible amount of noise. I'll mount Tourance next time.
Enjoy life, lower your standards.
