NEW R1200GS
2015 MSRP starting at $16,175 (including ABS)
One R 1200 GS. One Mission – The best GS of all times.
The BMW R 1200 GS – the icon of all travel adventure bikes.
For 32 years “the GS” has been defining its segment and has proven to be the trusty
companion on any motorcycle journey. BMW Motorrad is now embarking on a new
chapter of its success story and is yet again perfecting the iconic R 1200 GS.
One R 1200 GS. One Feeling – Power in every situation.
Powerful, refined, and high revving. The R 1200 GS is
powered by a new opposed twin engine design delivering 125 hp. Based on a new
concept of combined air and liquid cooling and vertical flows through the
cylinders, the engine operates efficiently, reliably, and with high torques at
all times. Further improvements like the new wet clutch with antihopping
feature, the electromotive throttle actuator E-Gas, and the optional “riding
modes” make the opposed twin engine the perfect drive solution at the heart of
the new R 1200 GS.
One R 1200 GS. One Emotion – Supreme control
The new R 1200 GS is ready for any terrain, thanks to the
greater rigidity of its main frame and its enhanced Paralever and Telelever for
even greater steering accuracy. The optional Dynamic ESA configures the
suspension automatically to the terrain and load conditions. The GS provides
even more functions with the optional “riding modes”, a set of four different
configurations that can be selected at the push of a button.
One R 1200 GS. One Impression – Strong individuality.
At first glance, the “new one” too is a genuine GS: robust,
dynamic, and full of character. New body panels with a perfect finish
underscore its high quality character. The new cooling concept was integrated
seamlessly into the distinctive design, and the visual emphasis moved to the
front. The new R 1200 GS now gives the impression of more balance and power.
Thanks to its extensive range of options, the R 1200 GS is absolutely unique.
With an innovative, unique LED headlamp, cross spoke wheels, and a wide choice
of options and packages, everyone can convert this machine into “his” or
"hers" GS.
