Touratech's Desierto IV fairing Touratech’s new Desierto IV fairing for the BMW R 1200 GS and GSA reinter- prets their concept of distinctive looks and ride comfort. The windscreen itself sits at a steeper angle than the original, which is said to offer a superior ride while optimizing wind protection without adding turbu- lence at helmet level. Adjustment capa- bilities of the original Desierto fairing are retained, and the height and angle of the windscreen can be modified as required while riding. Additionally, Touratech offers two windscreens for the Desierto IV: a small version that is visibly lower than the original GS screen and provides better ventilation, and a higher screen for touring and travelling. Both wind- screens are available in clear or tinted versions with the side sections available in black, gray or white. For more information, visit touratech-

BMW Motorrad announces facelifts for 2017 The 2017 BMW Motorrad model year will see a number of facelifts available at dealers beginning in August. Moving forward, like the current R 1200 GS Adventure, all liquid-cooled boxer models will be fitted with a judder damper on the transmission output shaft. New features also include a revised selector drum actuator, transmission shafts and transmission shaft bearing. An OBD indicator lamp (malfunction indicator light, or MIL) in the cockpit has also been added to meet EU4 requirements.
R 1200 GS The instrument panel of the R 1200 GS has now been redesigned and the range of optional BMW Motorrad accessories includes a new crash bar to allow cylin- der protection covers to be mounted.
R 1200 GS Adventure In addition to the changes mentioned, the instrument panel of the R 1200 GS Adven- ture features a revised design and the color Ocean Blue metallic matte color is no lon- ger available. Long a favorite of many, The GS Triple Black will be available and will fea- ture the central fuel tank cover, storage compartment lid and front mudguard in Blackstorm metallic together with fuel tank side panels in Dark Slate metallic to give the legendary travel enduro a strikingly mas- culine look. Powerful technical accents are provided by the front and rear frame in Agate Grey in combination with the black engine, gearbox and swing arm. Additionally, a new seat with striking GS symbol embossed on the passenger section rounds off the appearance of the new R 1200 GS Adventure Triple Black.
BMW R 1200 R, RS and RT In addition to the technical changes mentioned, the R 1200 R, RS and RT will include new paint options for 2017, but will have technical enhance- ments as well. With enhanced motorcycling safety in mind, available optional equipment now includes the banking- optimized ABS Pro and the dynamic brake light (both in conjunction with the Riding Modes Pro option), as well as several new color options.
