In the first Ghost Rider movie, Cage rode a Buell motorcycle for Blaze's stunt cycle, and a heavily customized hardtail chopper dubbed "Grace" which transforms into the "Hell Cycle". The Hell Cycle's wheels, made of pure flames in the comics, were changed to be solid tires covered in flames in order to give the motorcycle more weight onscreen.
For those who don’t yet know, Ghost Rider 2 is supposedly set several years after the first film and finds Johnny Blaze in self-imposed exile (hence, Romania). Blaze has become a tortured soul who is convinced that his powers are a curse. Blaze is soon approached by Moreau, a member of the monastic order of Michael, the warrior angel. Moreau seeks a protector for a mother and son who are being pursued by a figure named Roarke, a villain who has detailed knowledge of the Ghost Rider’s history.
While the first outing of the flaming, skull-riding superhero was panned by most when it was released in 2007, the studios have decided to ride ahead with the sequel.
Set for release in 2012 and called Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, video and pictures taken from an overpass in Romania of the film currently in production give ...
No motorcycle can do everything, but the BMW F 650 GS come close. Based on the fundamentally flexible “enduro” concept, the F 650 line has been carefully developed to meet a broad range of requirements, to enable cross-country travel in comfort as well as jaunts across town with consummate ease.
Central to this multi-role versatility is the F 650’s relaxed, upright riding position that is the ideal compromise between on-road comfort and off-road control. For the new F 650 GS, BMW has focused on improving the bike’s ergonomic profile and making it even kinder to beginning and returning riders. To this end, a new clutch lever featuring incremental span adjustments that provide riders with smaller hands improved control and comfort (an adjustable brake lever continues as standard.) To accommodate riders of different heights, several seat options are available for the F 650 GS. The GS comes standard with a 30.7-inch (780mm) seat height with a low seat option, which further reduces it to 29.5 inches (750mm). In addition, a high seat is available that provides taller riders with extra legroom.
The GS’s overall compact dimensions are made possible by a slender en ...
BMW recently released the G650GS, which is essentially the single-cylinder F650GS of yore with a few minor tweaks. Not least are some timely economic incentives, such as the inclusion of BMW's new-generation ABS and heated handgrips in the bike's $7670 base price. The move to the "G" designation is about the company reorganizing its labels. G now describes all single-cylinder models, while F is for the parallel-twins, R for opposed-twins, K for multis, etc. The only thing shoppers might find confounding is that BMW is still using the F650GS moniker for a new entry-level model powered by a detuned version of the 800cc parallel-twin.
The special edition model comes with a larger front wheel to soak up the pot holes and difficult terrain, a high windshield, aluminium engine guard and hand protectors for enhanced rider and motorcycle protection and spoked wheels front and rear to cope with the difficult terrain. With all these standard features combined with the extreme agility, smoothness and economy of the standard G 650 GS, the superb Sertao is the perfect contender for your next bike.

Certainly, the F 650 GS (actually a detuned 800cc motor) is too heavy for even semi-serious off-road service, so the mainland Chinese-sourced G 650 GS twin-spark motor was the natural choice. To get the chassis to full GS specs, the Sertão gets longer suspension-8.3 inches at each end-wire spoke wheels, a fork brace, and a wider 17-inch rear rim (a 21-incher is laced up front).
BMW, unfortunately, didn't go full Adventure with the Sertão, as the rims are shod with street-focused Metzeler Tourance tires. Dunlop and Michelin make direct replacement street-legal knobbies. However, our first ride on the newest G 650 GS was on the Tourance rubber.
When rain and snow fell in the mountains north of Los Angeles in the days before our first ride on the Sertão, BMW had to be a bit nervous. Proper tires are crucial for all types of riding, and nowhere is this truer than when the pavement ends.
My initial forays on the Sertão were on fairly hard-packed dirt that had been turned into slippery mud. The Tourance tires immediately became slimy slicks, putting a tremendous burden on the motor and chassis to pick up the slack.
The smooth delivery of the 652cc motor was ch ...
