Out of a passion for
adventure motorcycling in the great outdoors an after market, light
long-range fuel tank is now available specifically for the BMW R1100GS,
R1150GS and the R1150GS Adventure.
This high tech tank is South African designed, developed and
manufactured to standards typically used in the Aircraft Industry.
Accelerometer, pressure and impact testing has concluded Structural
integrity of tank.
In September 2002 in the Kaokoland region of Namibia, extensive trials
were conducted on three prototype tanks.
Kaokoland
was chosen as a test ground because of its vast diversity in terrain
necessary to extensively test the main design criteria. By all accounts,
they performed superbly. Because of these very successful trials, the
tank is aptly named the “Kaoko™” long-range tank.
As a point of interest, the word Kaoko™ is Herero in origin, and refers
to the vast and beautiful mountainous wilderness that is home to the
Himba Tribe.
