2008 BMW K1200 GT motorcycles

So, you've been playing in the dirt, touring the hills, or dropping knees around hairpin track-like corners on your motorcycle since spring. Your countenance drops and the adrenaline cells threaten to duck their heads under the arrival of early morning chills that whisper the soon-to-be entrance of Jack Frost. The leaves are turning and you're considering stashing your boots and gloves, and tucking your beloved two wheels into the safety of the garage for winter hibernation. Okay, so if you live in the far reaches of the northern hemisphere, then you might have a legitimate need to send your bike into winter hybernation, as even the rugged world class, all terrain BMW R1200GS has yet to replace sled dogs, though I'm sure someone has tried it.

BMW R1200GS MotorcycleFor the rest of you...resist temptation! Today's BMW bikes are engineered to withstand the elements in dirt or on the street, and for those of you new to the enduro side of motorcycling, today's touring bikes come with outlets for heated vests, gloves, and socks, heated hand grips, all terrain tires, and just about anything else needed to protect you from the weather, while still giving you total and complete freedom, and the thrill of the wind on your back with nowhere to go but to eat up miles of road from the cities to the back country. Motorcycle gear technology mirrors that of the gear worn by mountain climbers, skiers, and alpine outdoor enthusiasts of every kind. Today's motorcycle apparel is designed to take you from the mild temperatures of the valley, through rain and wind, to the sub freezing temperatures of the mountains, and back again.

If that isn't enough motivation, ride for the green...the money in your pocket and the trees lining your favorite country road. Your motorcycle spits out less emissions and consumes far less fuel than your car, and certainly provides triple the opportunity to enjoy the outside air or a favorite back detour to work that would have your regular car begging for mercy. Throw on your thermals, and stash your bike cover in your waterproof luggage. Your gas bill goes down, your adrenaline stays out of hibernation, and your friends look on in envy as you always have a front row parking space and traffic is merely your playground.
