Midrand. BMW Motorrad, the motorcycle business of BMW South Africa, is all set to present its new and current series of motorcycles as well as an extensive collection of rider equipment at this year’s AMiD Motorcycle and Quad Lifestyle Show, which takes place at the Johannesburg Expo Centre in Nasrec from 8 to 11 August.
New models.
Visitors can expect to see innovative motorcycles in the form of the new BMW F 800 GS Adventure, which builds on the position of BMW Motorrad as the most successful manufacturer of large-capacity touring enduros and leading the way in the mid-size category.
Based on the dynamic, off-road-oriented F 800 GS, the Adventure model offers an optimal combination of agility, touring practicality and off-road capability. Following the tradition of the popular boxer-engined GS Adventure models, it provides off-road-oriented touring aficionados, world travellers and enduro fans with an authentic GS Adventure experience in the mid-size segment.
The F 800 GS Adventure is powered by the characterful, liquid-cooled 798 cc four-valve twin-cylinder engine as featured on the F 800 GS, with electronic fuel injection, closed-loop catalytic converter and six-speed transmission. Developing unchanged maximum power of 63 kW at 7,500 rpm, and with maximum torque of 83 Nm at 5,750 rpm, this power plant impresses with quick and lively response, powerful torque and low fuel consumption.
