Desierto5 - a true adventure look for the GS
With the Desierto5 , Touratech says it has developed a front fairing for the latest generation of the BMW R 1200 GS and the R 1200 GS Adventure - a “ highclass conversion kit that features an individual look and enhanced weather protection ”. Touratech has a 20-year pedigree with the Desierto concept . In 1999 , Touratech gave the BMW R 1100 GS the pioneering adventure look with a frame-fixed fairing , twin headlights and a high rally screen . Initially designed for a demo bike , the touring Enduro bike scene welcomed this conversion so enthusiastically that a small series was produced . Since then , Touratech developed this fairing further and offered a Desierto fairing kit for each GS generation , and the new Desierto5 fairing means the latest GS Boxer bikes also benefit from this unique individualisation concept . The conversion kit consists of two main component parts - a black lacquered lower made of fibrereinforced polyurethane and a slightly tinted windscreen made in acrylic , with the original BMW adjustment mechanism retained . The fairing has carefully designed aerodynamics , being refined in a complex process starting from 3D simulation shaping and concluding with an intense test ride programme – the result is improved aerodynamics for reduced buffeting and “ considerably enhanced weather protection . The upper body not only creates less wind pressure , with turbulence-free air current reducing neck muscle fatigue , but the ambient noise is also highly reduced ”. Quickly and easily mounted , Touratech says this conversion doesn ’ t have to be shown to the TÜV ( German Association for Technical Inspection ) since it comes with a general operating permit ( ABE ). Available for the BMW R 1200 GS as of 2013 , R 1200 GS Adventure as of 2014 and the R 1200 GS “ Rallye ” and “ Exclusive ” special editions .
