    BMW R1200GS press both indicator paddles at the same time. My bike was imported from Austria and has a Hazard lights button on the left handle bar instead.

    Cheers

    Do the red and blue flashing lights from the car behind me count?

    My F650CS Scarver had them, as does my current 2016 Suzuki Smash 115.

    My Tiger has them, and they are most useful for lanesplitting, in conjunction with high beam and fog lights.

    But the damn switch is on the dash instead of the handlebars...

    Seems most (or all) BMWs got them.

    And no, tell your son it's "park anywhere button".


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Add my GSR600 to the hazard lights brigade. Even used them from time to time.

    this is just a pic of the web. I waited for the RS to come out.I bought one brand new for about 13000. I know that i had heated grips put on at a later date with the BMW switch, and i know i didnt have foglights,but i am sure there was a hazard light switch there too.There were switch blanks there

    Off topic I know. But is the gsr600 any good? Seem reasonably priced when they pop up.

    2013 BMW F800r has a hazard switch, i use it to thank peeps for letting me in.

    Also has auto canceling indicators which is bizarre !

    Like CasperNZ, my GSXR1300 has a hazard switch.

    And it's FUCKING annoying. Sorry for shouting.

    I'm getting used to using the indicator switch again, it's weird, normally pointing to the other guys on the track is enough. Sometimes a pointed boot will do. But on the street, you've got to use a stupid button in case we shock the idle minded psychotics we share the road with.

    But, the hazard is easy to accidentally hit instead of the inda-mackaters.

    So, I look like a tool driving down the road, blissfully unaware that cancel actually equals the park anywheres... It is the only bad thing about the bike. Aside from the need of another 175 horsepower and 70 kg's less of weight. Then I'd marry it.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Really enjoying mine. Very nice in traffic and will pootle along nicely on the open road. Bit of a gentleman's bike with the upright riding position and de-tuned engine for torque lower down but I'm an aging gentleman so it suits me down to the ground.
