Dual Sport Adventure Motorcycling in Quebec / Moto Aventure Double Usage au Québec
It seems that BMW has a pretty loaded schedule for the GS line. Since last year the whole family has been updated – with a brand new 1200GS flagship. Tough luck competition! BMW is neither sleeping on gas nor willing to concede an inch of the lucrative adventure market.

As stated on Transport Canada recall # 2013089, on certain motorcycles, supports for the front and rear turn signal lamps were manufactured incorrectly and could break, causing the lamp assemblies to hang from their electrical wires. As a result, the driver’s intentions to turn may not be conveyed clearly to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
