In the motorcycling world, the name GS has always been synonymous to BMW, and what is widely considered the most iconic series of adventure bikes ever made. Indeed, since 1980, BMW's G/S models paved the way for the adventure bikes of today, and whether or not today's GS models are your cup of tea, that milestone is deserving of respect.
That being said, a Chinese brand called Vinto Motor has launched a new adventure bike, with the audacious name of GS 525. It even borrows some styling cues from the BMW adventurer, such as angular bodywork, a single-sided swingarm, and even GS graphics emblazoned on the sides of the fuel tank. Granted, the bike is available only in China so far. If it does make its way outside of China, the first thing Vinto Motor will have to do is think of a different name for their GS.
