Battlestar fantastica

Building a serious long-distance tourer will drive most people to look at BMW first up. Rob Dunston at Sydney’s specialist BMW service centre Motohansa looked at the new R1200GS, looked at the gear on his shelves, got all excited and started building like a madman. The bolt-on Bavarian might sound like a big handful, but that’s because it is. A big handful of luxury and protection.

Before everyone starts e-mailling and going crazy on forums, we know this bike isn’t for everyone. No bike is. But even more than a straight up, long-distance tourer, the Motohansa R1200GS as you see it here would be a very specialist item. That’s not to say the individual protection and comfort features won’t have a place for the majority of R1200GS owners – or BMW owners in general in a lot of cases – but to have the whole lot set up on one bike is a big commitment.
