Initially only being sold in Germany and Switzerland, German Adventure Touring specialist Touratech is offering a complete motorcycle for the very first time - the Touratech World Travel Edition, a fully touring-equipped BMW R 1200 GS.

| “The Touratech World Travel Edition is built on a brand-new BMW R 1200 GS (LC) with “full technical equipment” and full BMW warranty |
The bike has the Touratech Desierto V fairing trim kit (a decal set developed by Rubber Dust) with yellow powder-coated components and powerful side-mounted auxiliary. The original fork legs are replaced by expedition-compatible components from Touratech Suspension. All functions of the electronic suspension are fully retained, but the suspension package is said to greatly improve off-road and long distance on-road handling.
“With its comprehensive protector equipment, the World Travel Edition is prepared for even toughest use,” says Touratech. “Starting with the robust crash bar and the extended rally engine guard to the cylinder protection, headlamp grid and numerous other protectors, all components are fully protected against off-road challenges.
“Due to their foldable design, which prevents breaking, the ergonomic foot levers are individually adjustable (and hand controls are fully adjustable)”; the one-piece comfort seat with the heat-reflecting ‘Fresh Touch’ technology provides the “best riding comfort”, and the Desierto V fairing, with its adjustable windshield, is said to ensure best weather protection and riding comfort.
The luggage can be stored in the two anodised Zega Pro2 aluminium panniers that are mounted to the “tried and tested” stainless steel Touratech racks. A Remus ‘Black Hawk’ exhaust silencer is said to combine a low weight with a “sporty sound”.
The selection of vehicle-specific components is “designed to guarantee maximum functionality and practicality with an attention to detail that comes from our years of experience - such as shifting the gimbal vent to increase the wading depth or the little protectors at the throttle valves, all proving our long-distance travel expertise”. The purchase price includes two days of extensive training.
