Machineart Industrial Design unveils the R1200GSM, a design study that proposes a new visual language for the iconic BMW R1200GS, the best selling motorcycle in the Adventure Touring category. The GSM takes the GS to the next aesthetic level - lighter, smaller, more agile and beautiful looking – while retaining its traditional attributes of toughness and versatility. The concept bike was built utilizing Stratasys FDM Direct Digital Manufacturing technology.

“We designed the GSM to promote the design focus of the MachineartMoto brand and its products for BMW R & F series bikes”, says Andrew Serbinski, Principal Designer and President of Machineart. “Our X-Head cylinder guards, Slipscreen windscreen, and MudSling fenders are solutions to rider needs that enhance appearance at the same time.” MachineartMoto products are sold through its online store www.machineartmoto.com and through dealers.

Hey Doc,

THE thing that has kept me from a "dual purpose" bike- BWM or otherwise is that STUPID (IMHO) high front, duck bill fender.

Even the "motards" use it. WHY???

What you have posted is the first thing I have seen that actually de-emphasizes that look and is attractive to my eyes.

I would buy and ride that. Then I wouldn't look like I was riding a motocrosser on the street.

Thanks,
John
