R1200GS Off Ride

Even a best seller hailed as the GS1200 may have its faults. One above all: to be exclusive and popular at the same time, and who really does know that the vast terrain and heavy German boxers are good on asphalt and brochures ...
When it comes to really travel by jeep, with a minimum of gait and baggage, things change, chats and forums bars do not matter. Hence the need to dramatically improve the drivability and off-road qualities of the GS Adventure. It is no coincidence that the same parent company has denied all and remade itself when it has set up the beautiful HP2.
Beyond the purely technical issues, the desire to customize took over, and these conditions began to take shape Ride Off. The challenge to create something different in the GS - model developed by all the world's best equipment suppliers - has become part of the technical challenge. All pieces are mounted on handmade Ride Off. This is not about catalogs, but unique pieces.
To delete the Telelever front and mount a classic Marzocchi 50 mm upside-down was necessarily a semi-built chassis from scratch to be bolted to the crankcase. Essential to obtain a canoe infulcrare where the two plates and billet steering fork. The GS1200 - Adventure or "normal" that is - has no real frame but two structures, attached to the engine block that has a supporting function. We have maintained this philosophy, but the two half-frames, front and rear, are much more robust and flexible otherwise. The latter one is a trestle simpler and lighter than the standard, here is removable from the rear seat on, to create, if desired, a different rear end.
Fixed the "frame", it began by reviewing the difficult balancing weights, starting from the tank, apparently more compact but still with a capacity of 34 liters as the original. Instead of developing the forms up and the hips, the stroke of genius was to delete the original airbox and move the volume down and partially saddle. And to accommodate the air filters were born two large and beautiful circular airbox above the cylinders, the largest in total volume than the original, lightweight carbon fiber. Initially sketched by Oberdan Bezzi, were then built prototypes and molds.
Become important enough to immediately characterize, two real design elements, and particularly effective: with so much more volume airbox these two will show a real booster for the delivery engine. Along with the Akrapovic exhaust, engine performance have invigorated so that you could imagine some kind of other assistance to mechanics. The recipe has worked well: better hit the weights, lower center of gravity, especially with a full tank (34 liters is a good weight), remove 15 kg, lengthening the wheelbase by 45 mm and about 6 hp, this BMW is not looks more like Adventure. To see her appear more compact and short, but we decided to stretch the wheelbase (54 mm while being shorter than the HP2), delete the ABS and mount the inevitable Continental knobbly. The tank made of sheet aluminum hand-wrought, has a duty to recall the historic old BMW with rubber pods for the knees.
Finally we have also taken comfort, inventing a special saddle to save the prostate, however, that would ensure adequate comfort on long trips. Comfortable and healthy!
Finishing touches to the wings. The front is completely new, while the rear has been reduced by the plate, now swinging and fixed to the swingarm. A solution that streamlines and free the tail from the usual ugly appendage to the eye.
To ride is fantastic and if the parking in front of the bar does not pass unnoticed.

Llegan las BMW F 700GS y F 800 GS 2013: más seguridad y nuevo look

La marca bávara renueva sus GS bicilíndricas de iniciación, lanzadas en 2007, mejorando su estética, realizando cambios técnicos y ofreciendo más alicientes al cliente que busca una moto dotada de más electrónica, destinada a incrementar los niveles de seguridad sobre dos ruedas. Como sorpresa, la actual F 650 GS pasa a denominarse F 700 GS.
En ambos modelos externamente se aprecia que el semicarenado y los paneles laterales reciben una nueva estética más atractiva, y nuevos colores. Pero hay más. En la F 700 GS la potencia máxima aumenta 4 CV, llegando a los 75, ahora monta un doble disco de freno delantero –la F 650 GS equipaba uno- y estrena horquilla –convencional- y guardabarros.
En ambos modelos se mejora su seguridad con ABS de serie y, además, reciben nuevas piñas de conmutadores, con los intermitentes de pulsador único, plásticos incoloros ahumados de piloto posterior e intermitentes, nuevo depósito de líquido de frenos, esferas de la instrumentación con nueva estética, display LCD con más funciones de serie, y nueva cúpula en la F 700 GS. El control de tracción ASC y las suspensiones electrónicas ESA están disponibles en opción, además de que en la 800 existen suspensiones más cortas y asiento más bajo, para reducir la altura de la moto.
El motor de la 800 se mantiene sin cambios, al igual que el resto de características técnicas de la parte ciclo.
Los días 18 y 19 de julio la marca bávara presentará oficialmente a la prensa sus dos nuevos modelos.
