Elegant isn't the word that springs to mind, but yes, I have gauchos designed for the R1200GS that I've since used on the 1200GSA and am currently using on the F650GS twin. Lovely and warm--they are the equivalent to two extra leg layers.

The other advantage is that the gaucho folds back over the seat when not in use which keeps the rain off. There's a handy pocket in the chest area.

I also have the handlebar muffs from the same company, plus a Gerbing heated jacket with temperature regulator. Snug as a bug...
