If an R1200GS twin is too much and those 650 X-singles aren't enough, BMW is betting large stacks of deutschmarks that this latest GS will be just right. The F800GS, aka the worst-kept secret in motorcycling, has been in the works for a couple of years now, because Munich isn't taking chances with a

Dirt, street and something in betweenRiding past the 18th green at this four-star golf resort on a dirtbike visibly horrifies the golfers. The fact that we're on BMWs provides some small reassurance, but these aren't like any BMWs they've ever seen. Or us: After a four-day flog over the twisty roads

Adventures are like adventurers, or snowflakes or rain ruts or subdural hematomas. They're all different. What's the best adventure bike? What's your idea of adventure? How far? How fast? How dirty do you want to get between that first cup of coffee and the last beer? Be honest. Is groomed gravel as

Why do you need one of these things? Just about any bike will drag you to work, and the super sporty contenders are fine if all you do is carve up the local twisty bits. Honda's Gold Wing and its ilk will haul two people, one overstuffed Alf doll and all manner of kit cross-country as cheerfully as

Most of us who spend time thinking about such things have pretty much dismissed BMW's K1200S as Serious Competition for the likes of Kawasaki's 176-horsepower ZX-14 and Suzuki's notorious 160-horsepower Hayabusa. The S model is the button-down Teutonic hyperbike you can disappear on every other week

BMW is worried about you. The German firm has spent a lederhosen-load of deutschmarks in the last few years to make its motorcycles lighter and faster-think K1200R and S-and to advertise its subsequent higher-performance image. But apparently you aren't getting the message; you're just not buying en

Some recombinant boxer DNA from BMW's 2004 R1200GS has seeped into the German maker's '05 touring lineup, giving us an essentially all-new R1200RT.

This is what big, adventure-touring streetbikes are all about. A couple of hours ago I was riding along a shallow stream dodging submerged rocks in first gear with the BMW R1200GS up to its cylinder heads in water. Now the new boxer is speeding through a serie

This whole BMW cruiser thing is finally starting to make sense. The Germans seem to have realized that cruisers require a certain degree of bad-ass attitude, and their latest R1200, the Montauk, looks to add street swagger without giving up the finer things

From where we sit, the K1200RS has always been something of a jackalope. You know, the beast immortalized on wacky roadside postcards: a composite creature with a jackrabbit chassis grafted to the top half of a puzzled antelope.
