In addition to <\/span>updating the BMW<\/a> R1200GS for the 2017<\/span> model year, our sources tell us that the <\/span>BMW<\/a> Lac Rose concept<\/span> will debut as a production model at the <\/span>EICMA<\/span> show next month in Milan, Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Based off the <\/span>BMW R nineT platform<\/span>, the Lac Rose (not the name that BMW will use once it debuts) will serve as <\/span>the Bavarian brand\u2019s heritage ADV bike, Bavarian <\/span>\u00a0keeping its obvious themes to the Dakar Rally in place, with the proper amount of nostalgia for the category.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This should give <\/span>O.G. airheads<\/span> a proper air-cooled throwback <\/span>ADV bike option (say that three times fast), which will serve as a counterpoint to the updates we can expect from the 2017 BMW R1200GS and the revisions we have already seen for the 2017 BMW S1000XR.<\/span><\/p>\n

How this model will slot in with the <\/span>BMW R nineT Scrambler<\/span> remains to be seen, though given how modular the BMW R nineT platform is by design, we\u2019re not sure BMW Motorrad is too worried about <\/span>cannibalization<\/span> between its various \u201cheritage\u201d models.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lac Rose should round out BMW\u2019s heritage lineup, with BMW Motorrad just yesterday saying that it wanted to bring five bikes in total into the R nineT family (the original model, Scrambler, Pure, Racer, and Lac Rose).<\/span><\/p>\n

We have to say, there\u2019s something pretty intriguing about the Lac Rose, though we still can\u2019t help but feel that BMW<\/span> is doubling down on a market segment that already has one foot out the door. <\/span>Time will tell whether we\u2019re right or wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n
