BMW has announced four special edition motorcycles for 2016 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG. Only 100 examples of each model will be built, all branded under the Iconic 100 Special Edition banner. The bikes are: R1200GS Iconic: £16,790 R1200GS Adventure Iconic: £17,910 R1200RS Iconic: £14,997 R1200RT Iconic: £20,645 Here's a closer look at the four models: 
▲ R1200GS Iconic Custom paint Black Diamond stitched red saddle with embossed Iconic 100 logo Gear Shift Assist Pro Cross spoke wheels

▲ R1200GS Adventure Iconic Custom paint Black Diamond stitched red saddle with embossed Iconic 100 logo Gear Shift Assist ProBlack powder coating Crash bars Luggage carrier Heel plates

▲ R1200RS Iconic Custom paint (Black/Silver Smoke Effect with Red/Champagne lines) Red stitched black saddle with embossed Iconic 100 Logo Gold forks/calipers 
▲ R1200RT Iconic Custom paint (Candy Burgundy Smoked Effect) Red stitched black saddle with embossed Iconic 100 Logo Audio system Dynamic package which includes Hill Start Control, Headlight Pro, Riding Mode Pro and Daytime riding lights Top box BMW evidently feels that these bikes will become collector's pieces, and good luck to whoever buys one for investment purposes. But the biking world is awash with special this, and limited edition that. And eventually it all becomes so much more blahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Were we buying a new BMW, or for that matter any new motorcycle, we'd probably stick with the standard models and just ride 'em as much as possible, and to hell with posterity. The time is always right now. The place is always right here. Worth remembering. ◄PREVIOUS STORY NEXT STORY► |
