R1200GS is the evolution of the most successful adventure-touring twin in
the world.
On pavement, the 1200 is a sort of Sensible Sportbike:
comfortable riding position, amazing suspension, and capable
of 9/10ths of the performance of a "pure sportbike" while
carrying one or two people and their luggage for long
distances. With the GS you have a very versatile bike which is, above all,
hugely
entertaining to ride.
It remains thoroughly up-to-date, combining the
latest developments of the R259 Boxer family.
The R1200GS has a broad powerband
with plenty of torque from idle to redline.
BMW's fabulous EVO brakes with optional Semi Integral ABS are
fitted.
ABS may be switched off (if desired)
for off-road use.
