Here's the rundown on changes to BMW models for 2017. Most are cosmetic or to comply with European rules changes. The 700 gsf and 800 gsa get electronic throttle control and terrain/conditions riding modes, including road, rain, enduro, and enduro pro.

If you find the BMW press release, instead of an enthusiast magazine's summary of the changes, please post up.

These are decent added features, but BMW continues to disappoint with the 800GS with not addressing the real issue I have with the bike. The lack of adjustable suspension is completely unacceptable in the 21st century for a bike at this price point. BMW has a great platform here with the 800Gs and GSA but they are still missing the mark.
Oh well, hopefully KTM will not disappoint with the rumored 800 ADV and and the possibility of a 700 Tenere is exciting!
