2013 new BMW R1200GS LC African journey with new R1200GS

Well...

I guess you have to have a sweet spot for Africa (in this case Kenya) to appreciate that video...
Brings back lots of memories.
Put me right back there...:)
 
An amazing bike showing new BMW Jekyll and Hyde technology.:eek:

It has the ability to change colour and grow crash bars when washed for the first time although it appears to return to normal when it dries :D :nenau

Don't forget it morphed it's mag wheels and dual sport tyres into spoked wheels and TKCs

It just looked like a bloke riding around some towns in Africa? Didn't look very adventurous?
I too am a little confused :nenau

That new LC does sound nice though!
 
I'm pleased BM have confirmed it's OK the wash the new bike with a pressure washer, although I assume the clean agent (soap) used was an approved product
 
My my, how incredibly dull that was.
 
not at all sure i've ever seen a pro video that's so boring.

highlight was glimpse of posh new ignition key.

It seems it is OK if care is used...... and I do hope they found some of this at the cleaning station "Use only BMW recommended cleaning products"

How to clean your motorcycle
Here's a few do's and don'ts from the team at BMW Motorrad UK in order to keep your BMW motorcycle in tip-top condition.

Do
