2008 BMW K1200GT – Sport Touring Motorcycle Review

Hitting the 405 to escape from L.A. our five-bike comparo got underway. The swanky K1200GT is a solid fit for the wealth and glamour of Southern California because our BMW test unit delivers all the luxurious goods. Heated grips? Check. Heated seat? Check. Heated passenger seat? Check. Adjustable windshield, cruise control, roomy and easy-to-use luggage. The Beemer’s touring credentials are, without doubt, the strongest in our group.

In fact, the BMW K1200GT arrives at our 2008 Comparo as the reigning champion by virtue of its ample touring amenities. But its edge over the Yamaha FJR in our 2006 head-to-head was a slim 3-2 split decision among our ‘06 group test riders – of which only two returned for this year’s comparo. With new testers to win over and the competition as strong as ever, the Beemer’s position at the top is by no means secure.

Sean Whang Grad Show ACCD 2008 – BMW Backpack Scooter

This project was my grand finale project for my last senior 8th term. As a transportation designer I wondered what would happen if motorcycles stopped using gasoline and went on to electric. How would this influence the shape and style of the motorcycle? I wanted to utilize the fuel tank shape into a backpack since to my eyes every fuel tank shape is unique and beautiful on a motorcycle.
Solving small storage issues we have when we ride scooters was the main problem I wanted to tackle. Moreover, I wanted to design a scooter that actually looks cool!~~~
Rather than putting in more grills and vents to make it look sporty why not change its stance and proportion to make it a truly sporty scooter? Let the fun of design begin~
