That was Reiner Fings, Product Manager for the BMW R 1300 GS Adventure. You may remember hearing him in a previous episode last year, where we discussed the standard R 1300 GS. Hi everyone I’m Shawn Thomas, welcome back to the BMW Motorrad Ride and Talk podcast. BMW Motorrad is calling this “The Year of the GS” for good reason. In all we have seen significant changes in nearly every model in the GS line-up, most notably the F 900 GS, R 1300 GS, and R 1300 GS Adventure. My producer Louise Powers and I met with Reiner during the launch of the new R 1300 GS Adventure, which occurred during BMW Motorrad Days in Garmisch. Today we discuss this newest model, new technologies, and some little known history of the GS. Please be sure to subscribe, like and comment on this and other Ride and Talk episodes, we very much appreciate your continued support! Now lets hear from Reiner Fings about the Year of the GS.
