Flexible storage space with Vario cases and Vario top case

The well-known, variable-volume cases (left 19–29 litre/ right: 28–38 litre) have been modified for the new GS models. Thanks to the care¬fully conceived carrier system the cases can be attached and removed instantly. Those who want to take even more luggage with them can also add the 25–35 litre top case, which has plenty of room for a helmet. The comfort of the pillion rider can be improved by attaching a back cushion to the topcase. The inside pockets for the cases reliably protect luggage from dirt and damage.

Tank rucksack for small items of luggage

The tank rucksack is a truly practical travelling companion. Because the tank is positioned underneath the seat, it does not need to be removed at filling stations. The tank rucksack has a variable capacity of 14 to 26 litres and features a waterproof inside pocket so that no extra covering is required when travelling in the rain. The equipment also includes a waterproof map compartment and storage for small tools, which can be accessed from the inside, via the main compartment.

BMW Motorrad Navigator III

With this navigation system, the driver selects an address, a city, a tourist destination or a way point. The BMW Motorrad Navigator III guides the rider, with detailed instructions, safely and effortlessy to the destination – by the fastest or shortest route, or directly (“as the crow flies”). The display can be varied too: the rider can choose a map display, a combination of map and instructions, a roadbook or a compass function that displays the distance and direction to the next way point. A zoom function makes rapid orientation easier, for example at intersections. Voice guidance in nine languages using a helmet installation kit is possible.

Hand protector with spoiler

The three-part hand protector made from impact-resistant, continuously
dyed, plastic can take on a variety of protective functions, since individual modification is possible with the modular system. The hand protection bar deflects damage to the handlebar and handlebar fittings. The protector attachment is available in two sizes and protects hands from stones. The spoiler provides additional protection against the cold and wet.

Under-body protection and engine protection bars

Under-body protection is part of the standard equipment for the F 800 GS and can be retrofitted to the F 650 GS. A sturdy engine protection bar provides additional protection against damage in everyday use or during off-road travel.

 

Akrapovic sports silencer

The sports silencer in titanium and carbon made by Akrapovic, which is equipped as standard with a regulated catalytic converter, fits without problems onto the original manifold system. It is a slip-on silencer fixed in place with springs. Using this silencer can save around 2kg in weight compared with the standard system.
