R 1200 GS

The Ultimate Riding Machine

UNSTOPPABLE THE NEW BMW R 1200 GS is one of a kind. This UNSTOPPABLE machine offers unlimited freedom to the rider. An exceptionally versatile performer both on and off-road, with the power to take you anywhere you want to go. And the looks to turn the head of anyone who sees it. For the rst time, the BMW R 1200 GS is now also available with the exciting Enduro ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) option. The BMW R 1200 GS – because even the most free of spirits need something to rely on.

MORE SERENE – A DRIVE SYSTEM THAT WON’T LET YOU DOWN You can always count on the R 1200 GS. Its new engine delivers 105 horsepower (77 kW), across a wider usable rev range than ever before. Add to that the new gear ratios and lower nal drive ratio, and the result is a unique combination of instant response and dynamic power delivery – for maximum enjoyment wherever you go.

MORE PERFECT – LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE A small change can sometimes make all the difference – the difference between merely good and UNSTOPPABLE. Which is why BMW Motorrad has completely redesigned the handlebars of the R 1200 GS. To ensure better ergonomics during off-road riding in a standing position, they can be mounted further forward than is usual. The seat design has also been improved, and an extra-tough two-section hand guard is tted as standard.

THE NEW BMW R 1200 GS

An UNSTOPPABLE machine that offers unlimited freedom to the rider. It is equally serene on tarmac and rough terrain alike – so now the only restriction on your touring is how homesick you get. It features an upgraded drive train, an even more expressive design, and, for the rst time, the Enduro ESA suspension option. The BMW R 1200 GS – because even the most free of spirits need something to rely on.
