These are only somewhat ironic considering that if you ride the bike right, the former will soon be covered with dust, dirt and other adventure-borne debris.
Take a closer look and you may pick up on the fact that Option 719 also boasts number of milled aluminum parts with a shadow finish.
Such parts include the hand lever, the cover of the liquid tank on the handbrake fitting and clutch lever fitting, the cover clasps over the spark plugs on the valve covers and the front pegs and foot levers.
The aluminum tank, meanwhile, gets a deep Blue Metallic coat of paint, accented by the GS branding, which manifests with a glorious golden-hued outline.
The two airbox covers get a matte clear coat, while the central fuel tank cover, an extension of the seat, is upholstered with a gray and black cover featuring the Option 719 emblem.
