BMW R1200GS

The BMW R1200GS is one of a kind. The engine with 110 hp 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. The BMW R1200GS – because even the most free of spirits needs something to rely on. 

the R1200GS was the best selling motorcycle in the United Kingdom. although this looks like a ducati motorcycle Multistrada 1200 but BMW R1200GS has machine

with a level of 2-cylinder power which is unsurpassed, and not just within its own segment. The reason is the new DOHC engine, which first displayed its impressive performance in the legendary HP2 Sport. For the R 1200 GS, torque was given higher priority than output in line with practical considerations. And you can feel it. 120 Nm at the peak at 6000 rpm is one thing, but the consistently higher level of torque in the relevant range up to 5000 rpm can be fully experienced. The output has been increased to 81 kW (110 bhp) at 7750 rpm.

The versatility and sheer performance of the R1200GS is partly due to the famous boxer engine which is at the heart of the awesome machine. Now updated with double over head cams, the motorcycle offers more torque at lower revs, improved responses and better acceleration across the rev range, making the bike so powerful on ordinary streets and steep

BMW offers ABS brakes as optional equipment for the R1200GS, and a good one at that considering the 504 claimed pounds for the standard GS model.
