RUST magazine: Touratech BMW R1200GS Rambler Special

RUST TOURATECH RAMBLER SPECIAL You’ll have seen our feature test on the Rambler back in RUST 21. Or maybe not – that was one big issue and the test was found toward the back of the running order, so you may well have missed it. So, with much going on behind the scenes right now (a new website being built, revamp of the magazine being worked on) we thought we should use this break in our usual publishing programme to re-issue that test in fuller-glory, with more pages, more images and just a little more of everything. After all, the Rambler is one hell of a bike – it deserves a revisit. We hope you like this special and, be assured, there’s so much more to come! Enjoy the reading – and your riding!

The USD forks also limited the steering<br />

lock – not such an issue for rally competition,<br />

but not so good for trail work. But this is a<br />

common issue with USD forks on any brand<br />

of machine. Oh, and the brakes – I wasn’t<br />

entirely convinced the single disc set-up was<br />

enough for stopping from higher speeds. But<br />

then there’s only so much energy you can<br />

push through a 21x2.15 tyre, so maybe it’s<br />

the correct fitting after all.
