Aside from the saddlebags, the G.T.X. features rider and passenger floorboards for long distance comfort. The cockpit is simply laid out with a single digital gauge placed in between the two-piece, clip-on style handlebars. As this bike in front of you is a pre-production model, some changes are likely to find their way into the final production bikes. For one, the Brembo calipers on this bike will most likely be Performance Machine units come showroom time. Exhaust pipes are in the process of being redesigned both for aesthetics and the ever-watchful EPA. Choice of color will be up to the end user, with pretty much any hue or graphics one can think of. In addition to this "weekend getaway" G.T.X., already in the works is a longer distance touring version that will come complete with front fairing containing a radio and other electronic instruments, windshield, and rear trunk storage.
With the G.T.X., BBC hopes to capitalize on the current popularity of bagger-type bikes as well as expand its extensive model lineup. This bike offers the customer something different and unique with infinite possibilities for factory customization of paint, graphics, and BBC accessories.
