Ventura has introduced a new luggage system that will enable owners of the new BMW G650 X-series bikes to carry serious amounts of kit without compromising the machine’s handling. Better still, both pack and luggage rack can be removed in seconds, returning the machine to its original light and slim form.
SW Motech of Germany has expanded its range of centre stands to cover the new BMW G650 X series and the Triumph Tiger 1050i as well as a version to fit the Kawasaki ZZR 1400 sports tourer. Fitting a centre stand not only makes a motorcycle easier to park (as it requires more space to lean onto its side stand), it makes it more stable and less likely to be knocked over too. For many owners it also makes routine maintenance jobs much easier to perform, for example adjusting or lubricating the chain, checking the tyre pressures and cleaning the bike.
