2017 BMW Safari program

BMW Motorrad has announced its 2017 Safari adventure events, with the program as follows:

GS Safari Enduro: Cape York, Qld, August 5-12
The ride will explore the roads and tracks of far-north Queensland, from Cairns to the Cape and back. The GS Safari last visited Cape York in 2006. Bookings open on Tuesday, April 4.

2017 GS/TS Safari: Perth, WA, October 9-13
The BMW Safari is yet to visit Western Australia. That now changes with a tandem GS and TS Safari – a similar program to the original BMW Safaris – with TS riders on the road and GS riders taking to the dirt. The two groups congregate overnight for evening festivities.
Bookings open on Tuesday, June, 20.

GS Tours by BMW Safari
BMW Safari will be running a series of smaller adventure rides throughout 2017, run under the 'GS Tours, by BMW Safari' banner. The first event, which is already sold out, launches from Merrijig at the base of Mt Buller through to Bright, showcasing the stunning Victorian High Country.

In conjunction with the GS Tours, a new initiative called the 'Bring a Buddy programme' has also been launched to introduce new riders to the adventure scene. A GS rider can now bring a buddy, even if they ride another brand.

GS Tour participation will be capped for a smaller number of riders and tour support will be provided in typical BMW Safari style.

GS Tours, Mt Seaview (Mid-north coast NSW)
May 25-26: BMW off-road training course (optional)
May 27-29: utilising Mt Seaview as a base, enjoy two days of GS heaven.

GS Tours, Simpson Desert crossing
Dates: June 13-16 (Alice Springs to Birdsville)
A ride that has been in the making for over a year will come to fruition in June. For dedicated adventure riders that are eager to watch the iconic Finke Desert Race with a small group of GS riders, this ride ticks all the boxes. This tour is strictly limited and riders will require a high-level of off-road riding experience.

BMW Motorrad Australia General Manager, Andreas Lundgren, is thrilled to continue developing the BMW Safari events.

"I am looking forward to this year's BMW Safaris. Taking the Enduro Safari to the very tip of Cape York is an exciting endeavour, as is locating the TS and GS Safari in the great expanses and diverse scenery of Western Australia," said Lundgren.

"We are also pleased to launch the GS Tours by BMW Safari. The new programme will give BMW GS riders further opportunities to experience the unique character of our motorcycles and a BMW GS Safari."
