BMW Motorrad Offers Free Sat Nav With The R 1200 RT

BMW Motorrad Offers Free Sat Nav With The R 1200 RT

Hot on the heels of the recent launch of its brand new satellite navigation system - the BMW Motorrad Zumo - BMW Motorrad is pleased to announce that all customers purchasing an R 1200 RT, between 1 September and 19 December 2008 (inclusive), will automatically qualify for a complimentary BMW Zumo and mounting kit.

The BMW Zumo was launched in July this year with a variety of rider-friendly features giving it an edge over other car-based navigator systems and providing an economical alternative to the popular Navigator III.

The Zumo is highly advanced but easy to use. The bright display makes it easy to view in any conditions, while the large icons and left handed controls make it more functional and easy to use. In addition to being waterproof, the system comes with a fuel and UV-resistant screen.

The Zumo’s Bluetooth capabilities provide hands-free communication, enabling it to be linked to the rider’s helmet and a mobile phone. The navigation system also comes pre-loaded with full European mapping, all ready to plot and go. Routes can even be loaded onto Google Earth, enabling riders to display and share routes with others.

Acumen Reduce Prices of HID Headlights

Acumen Reduce Prices of HID Headlights

Acumen electronics have reduced the prices of their unique HID lighting systems by a third as part of a summer-long campaign to encourage riders to experience the benefits of high intensity lighting before the dark autumn evenings set in. HID light systems have become a popular modification for high performance cars and Acumen believe that once a core of motorcyclists have experienced the benefits they will become accepted by most riders too.

High Intensity Discharge [HID] systems create a brilliant white light that is similar to sunshine at noon on a summer’s day. By using similar technology to stadium floodlights the 35W bulb delivers twice the light output of normal 60W halogen bulbs.

Unlike conventional motorcycle light bulbs, which use a filament, HID light bulbs are filled with Xenon gas and once ignited by a high voltage charge the gas creates an arc of light. HID bulbs also have a longer lifespan than Halogen items (approx three times) and are less susceptible to damage from vibration and jolts.
