Two replica BMW 1200GS Adventure motorcycles, one
of Ewan McGregor and the other of Charley Boorman are waiting for their future
customers in Manchester. By the number of fans that the Long Way Down TV series
has, the bikes won’t gather dust for sure, but it is well worth mentioning these
as THE internet find of the day.
The replicas stand out thanks to the same leopard and zebra patterns while
traction control, ABS brakes and a tire pressure control system are standard and
ready for those who feel like going on the Brit’s tire marks from John O’Groats
to Cape Town.
The blue one is Ewan McGregor’s replica and features one-off features such as a
dynamic comfort pack, heated grips and an onboard computer, just to mention a
few. It will sell for the equivalent of $14,814, which is quite a bargain
considering the story to which it relates.
The Charley Boorman replica features extra pannier fastenings, fog lights and an
electronic suspension adjuster and it will sell for the equivalent of $16,000.
Quite frankly, I believe that these bikes should belong to a single owner or at
least those who buy them separately to be good friends, just like the authors of
the historic journey are. This way, the story will go on and the bikes won’t
drift away one from the other.
