Touratech-USA’s General Manager, Paul Guillien, spent a few days in the backcountry testing BMW’s 2013 F800GS, as well as the accessories our team installed, including our Expedition Skid Plate, Works Footpegs, Upper Crash Bars and more.
Our friend Helge Pedersen; author, adventure rider and founder of GlobeRiders Motorcycle Adventures, talks about about using inner tubes on tubeless tire wheels.
The team at Touratech-USA is loving the new water-cooled BMW R1200GS and has spent much of the year riding the new water-boxer, and helping people outfit their bikes for adventure. After numerous rides and rallies, we decided to put together this list of essential upgrades to help people prioritize the accessories they might be considering.

While the new R1200GS Adventure model is ready to explore the world direct from the factory, there were a few Touratech accessories and protection parts our CEO, Herbert Schwarz, installed on his water-cooled R1200GS Adventure prior to a three-week expedition in Africa.
When the new KTM 1190 Adventure R arrived at Touratech-USA, our team was eager to install some important protective parts including the new Expedition Skid Plate and Quick-Release Headlight Guard. We also equipped the KTM with a set of Zega Pro panniers, a Zega Pro Topcase, Expandable Touring Tankbag, Large Sidestand Foot and a GPS Mounting Bracket.
We’re excited to introduce #Touratech’s new Plug & Travel Suspension system, the world’s first aftermarket shock that is plug & play with BMW Motorrad’s new water-cooled R1200GS!
