In BMW\'s return to the scooter world, they\'ve brought two machines: the C 600 Sport and the C 650 GT. We\'ve already published <a href=\"http://www.scooterfile.com/scooter-reviews/scooterfile-first-ride-2013-bmw-c-600-sport/\">my initial thoughts on</a> on the C 600 Sport, but it\'s only half of the BMW scooter equation.

BMW Motorrad sends five riders on an exciting around-the-world tour. Adrien Brody, Rick Yune, Charley Boorman and Jutta Kleinschmidt present the winners for the “Ride of Your Life” tour.

Team Germany have won the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012. Coming into the final day with a solid 18-point advantage, they remained steady and consistent through to the very last test to make sure they took victory. It was a test of nerves as well today, as rain through the afternoon meant the title-deciding final trials test was very slippery – and with double points on offer, one false move could have ruined their chances.

Team Germany will take an 18 point lead into the final day of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012. After a busy day that took in three special tests and the announcement of the result of the second photo competition, Germany scored highly – including a win and a runner-up – and were able to double their advantage over the competition.

Day five of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012 was the competition’s second marathon stage, with a distance slightly over 400km and the complication of a border crossing to deal with as the riders returned to Chile. It was potentially even more of an ordeal given the arrival of rain that peppered the morning then deluged the afternoon.

Day four of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012 was intended to be an ‘easier’ day given that it’s sandwiched between two marathon stages. However it didn’t quite turn out that way, with two riders injured in crashes during the enduro special test and minor spills on the leg of the course that ran up to the Ventisquero Negro (Black Glacier) on Mount Cerro Tronador, fortunately without further injuries.
