The Telelever system used on current BMWs is quite different to the Hossack system, since it doesn't have the upper wishbone; it is more analogous to the MacPherson strut. The fork on that GT is also nothing like a Hossack. It's just an old fashioned girder fork of the kind which was common on early motorcycles before telescopic forks became ubiquitous.
