Kuukkeloin tuota hieman ja löytyi tämmöinen juttu:
The South African's BMW R 80 GS Kalahari
BMW R80GS Kalahari
The 5 September in a mail to the BMW -GS motorcycles mailing list, Lodewyk Steyn give us some information about a new "old" GS version :
I've got a bit of information I would like to share with the readers of BMW-GS.
Early in August this year (1997) a new model of the old model GS was launched in South Africa. Known as the R 80 GS Kalahari, it originates from the R 80 GS Basic available in Europe. It is white in colour with a blue frame.
The following is a description of what the motorcycle looks like: Round headlight with old instrument cluster as found on early model GS's and G/S's. Small windscreen. High front mudguard with Marzocchi front forks. White Power rear suspension. Early model 35 liter Paris Dakar petrol tank made of steel. No crashbars or sidestand. The rear subframe is the same as that of the first G/S's with the lugage rack at the back as an optional extra that bolt on. Paralever suspension. R 80 GS Kalahari decals. The old reliable 798cc aircooled boxer engine is used.
The model is currently only produced for the South African market but there is rumours that it might also be available elsewhere.
Tuossa kerrottiin, että se oli ensin tarjolla vain Etelä-Afrikkaan, sitten kai myöhemmin myös Saksaan.
Siinä Waltterin pyörässä oli tosiaan tuo WP:n iskari takana, jota ihmettelin. Siis ihan vakiona.
Ja siinä tosiaan luki "Kalahari" tankin kyljessä. Tuli vaan siellä juttua, kun mun R1100GS pyörä on Kalaharin keltainen, että ihan samaa juttua saman vuoden pyörissä.
Pekka
