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 unique looks to turn the head of even the most jaded rider. The BMW R 1200 GS is now available with the groundbreaking Enduro ESA

(Electronic Suspension Adjustment) option, a  rst in the industry.

The BMW R 1200 GS – because even the most free of spirits need something to rely on.

MORE CONTROL –

A DRIVE SYSTEM

THAT WON’T LET YOU DOWN

You can count on the R 1200 GS, the benchmark for Enduro riders everywhere. And now we have made it even better and more powerful. Its new power plant delivers 105 horsepower 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 excitement 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. The new R 1200 GS is equally competent on tarmac and rough terrain, so the only restriction on your touring is how homesick you get. It now features a revised transmission to take on even more abuse, the better looks to make it stand out from the crowd and add to that, for the  rst time, the Enduro ESA suspension option. No wonder it’s the world’s standard for Enduros. The BMW R 1200 GS – because even the most free of spirits need something to rely on.
