VOL. 55 ISSUE 45 NOVEMBER 13, 2018 P73 B MW Motorrad's GS line is its most prized possession. Those two letters of G and S are what saved BMW Motorrad from oblivion in the early 1980s with the introduction of the R80G/S, going on to spawn not just a new line of motorcycles but an entirely new rid- ing culture of grand adventuring. The GS line is now seven motorcycles strong, starting with the baby G 310 GS and ending with the granddaddy R 1250 GS Adventure. Nestled nicely in between this is the bike formerly known as the F 700, growing by 50 to be now known as the F 750 GS. Like the recently revamped 1250 GS, it's more than just a name change for the middleweight road/adventure steed. The F 750 GS has been redesigned for the first time in 10 years, with an all-new engine, a new chassis and suspension, new electron- ics and a huge TFT dash display that's one of the coolest items on the market today.
