R 1200 GS
No other motorcycle offers versatility like the R 1200 GS. Now the bike that made sport touring an adventure
is more advanced than ever. With 105 hp and Telelever front suspension, it has amazing handling. With
ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) and switchable ABS, it adapts from road to off-road conditions
instantly. And thanks to BMW’s legendary reliability and a low maintenance shaft-drive, it reaches far away
destinations like they’re right next door. Twisties or touring, the R 1200 GS — winner of “Best Bike in the World”
by an international panel of moto-journalists a few years ago — does it all.
