BMW Motorcycles – the Weird & the Wonderful!

I have a feeling that there’s plenty of strange, weird and wonderful BMW motorcycle stuff out there and plenty of odd-ball R1200GS stuff going on!
Contact me if you have seen something 😉

R1200’s Fly High!
Apparently BMW R1200 motorcycle engines make particularly good power units for light aircraft / home build aeroplane (airplanes):

New device to discourage ‘tailgaters’ 🙂
Actually the ‘wrong way round’ GS riding robot is part of a charity fund raising event [more]

Amother pink R1200GS, this time with a ‘Barbie’ theme :-0

…and somewhat more attractive although not a GS I’ve added this next one just ‘cos I liked it 🙂 See here in the Featured Bikes Section for the R1200GS ‘Pink Special’

A new twist on an old idea
Pilots of the old open cockpit planes knew all too well that being tucked in behind a propeller saved them from the wind’s forces. Why not try that idea on a BMW…after all BMW did start as an airplane engine manufacturer.

The force of the wind, sends the propeller in motion. The wind turbulances are then sent elsewhere. As with planes, once the propeller is in motion (starting at about 30 km/hr) it is no longer visible. www.mv-motorrad.de

BMW R1200GS ‘Zebra’ :-0

A bad case of ‘function’ over ‘form’ (imho!)
