Crash Test Report?

[tazo2675]

Has anyone come across a Crash test for the 1200gs and/or gsa?

Searched online (obviously) but nothing yet..

What do you mean by crash test report?

You know like the encap rating for cars, one for bikes?? never come across one. Wanted info really on the force created by 230kg bike hitting something (cars, barriers etc) at certain mph's

I can't say I've ever seen an NCAP style crash report for any bike - have you?

No mate can't say I have, maybe have to email BMW see if they can assist.

Do they ever test cars against a bike hitting them side on?

Just a thought.

Is this question serious use your noggin.
It's pointless on bikes - You're not going anywhere in a car crash because you're strapped into it and so the information on the protection offered in a collision is useful .
But you won't still be sitting on the bike in the event of a collision with anything hefty. You'll be turned into a projectile and end up some distance down the road on your arse after an acrobatic journey into space, hopefully with all your limbs still attached.

Indeed the question is serious as I am asking whether there is any info on the 'forces that a 230kg bike would produce when hitting something'!!

I would of thought that staying sat on a bike and hitting something would indeed render you as a projectile!!

Doesn't need your 'noggin' to work that out!!

oooh, makes me wince..

Multiply the mass by the velocity that gives kinetic energy at any speed it aint good for you if it bothers you that much maybe you are not cut out for biking

Err, no. Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass (in kg) x velocity (in m/s) squared.

So...

v (mph) v (m/s) Ke (kJ).
10.00; 4.47; 2.30;
20.00; 8.94; 9.19;
30.00; 13.41; 20.68;
40.00; 17.88; 36.76;
50.00; 22.35; 57.43;
60.00; 26.82; 82.70;
70.00; 31.29; 112.56;



Make of that what you will, but the bigger the number, the worse it will hurt.

Its going to hurt anyway! They don't crash test bikes because they dont have any crash safety zones. There are no airbags, side impact protection or even front impact protection. You hit something at any speed at all at best you have an overnight stay courtesy of the NHS. As said above, your going to leave the scene of the accident via the air so absolutely no point in having any of the above. Back in the 80s the government decided it was a good idea to put leg protectors onto all motorcycle. It very nearly made it into law as well if it hadn't been for all the protests and the independent study that actually showed they reduced the survivability of an accident considerably. The then transport minister got sacked and the idea was quickly forgotten about.

I stand corrected it's still gonna hurt tho
