My previous BMW 1200GS Adventure was a 2007 model, in gray color.

The BMW R1200GS Adventure is a motorcycle manufactured in Berlin, Germany by BMW Motorrad, part of the BMW group. It is one of the BMW GS family of dual sport motorcycles. The motorcycle features a 1,170 cc, 2-cylinder boxer engine with 4-valves per cylinder. The Adventure features a 33 liters capacity fuel tank and longer travel suspension.

At its launch in 2004, the R1200GS was 30 kg (66 lb) lighter than the R1150GS it replaced, and produced 100 bhp (75 kW), an increase of 19%. BMW continued to produce the R1150GS Adventure, releasing a final run-out special edition model, before launching the R1200GS Adventure at the end of 2005, for the 2006 model year.

In 2007, upgrades were made to both models for the 2008 model year. Power was increased to 105 bhp (78 kW), a new Integral ABS II anti-lock braking system was released without servo assistance and new options were added including electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) and the Automatic Stability Control (ASC) traction control system.

I changed my suspensions to Ohlins and it's perfect!
