Why not? BMW F 1200 GS
Printable Version Written: 27/02/2008 : 13:18. Read 14714 times (30/day).
February 2006 our artist made the R 1200 R. 6 months later it was reality.
April 2006 our artist made the F 800 GS. 2 years later it was reality.
We got the F450GS wrong so far as that is now a G-model.
We are still waiting for the F 800 R to come to fruition...

We have played around with BMW's F and R series. It is very hard to believe that manufacturers can continue with air-cooled engines into the not too distant future.
I have asked BMW to comment several times on options to replace the iconic R 1200 GS.
I have also asked whether the 1200cc air-cooled Boxer could be replaced by a large capacity paralell twin based on the F 800.

In the past BMW have replied that this is one of a very few options should they be forced to give up the boxer.

However, at present BMW states "We have no intention to develop a larger displacement parallel engine. The 800 cc two-cylinder is the ideal engine for our middle class motorcycles. We have, by no means, any intention to replace our very successful 1200 cc boxer engines (GS or other) by any other engine.".

So at the present day, we will not see a F 1200 GS. But if we did, perhaps it would look very similar to our designers F 1200 GS.

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
