BMW R 1200 GS Official Kenya Ride

With the open war between the 2013 BMW R 1200 GS and the KTM 1190 Adventure, the fans of both brands will become even more divided, as the newly presented bikes have shown serious changes for the next year.
Here's an official video of a 2013 BMW R 1200 GS riding in Africa, on Kenyan ground. Lovers or haters of the 1200 GS series, one thing is pretty clear: the bike looks nice and with all the new water-cooled engine, increased power and multi-mode riding mapping, things are even more promising.

Far from judging between BMW and KTM, it's the very riders who will be able to tell which bike is better and in which aspect, as soon as the tourers will come back from the first trips around the world or in really harsh environments.

Until then, the best thing to to is save money for new bikes, in case you're having troubles sleeping after this autumn's releases. And of course, enjoy your rides as much as possible.
