Do you love extreme, long tours, even on bumpy roads? Do you enjoy stony paths or the wilderness? Whether it's asphalt, offroad, rocks or sand: the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure has the right answers to every challenge with its light, agile handling. A machine for all those who want to go to their limits and grow beyond them. The R 1200 GS is for the real adventure-lovers among you.

Dust and mud may be your idea of style when it comes to the R 1200 GS Adventure. With two style packages, it’s easy to make the bike your own.

The R 1200 GS Adventure is up for journeys and challenges of all types. With its powerful, robust and dynamic design, one look will tell you all you need to know about its character. Its wind, weather and engine guards lend it a highly distinctive look, with the bike's visual focus moved further to the front. The powerful splash guard on the R 1200 GS Adventure gives it a feisty appearance. It's ready to master any difficulties.

The R 1200 GS Adventure promises to always ride on – no matter what the challenge.

Regardless of where you're off to, the R 1200 GS Adventure is always a dynamic companion. Inspired by the legendary boxer torque of 92 lb-ft and 125 hp (92 kW) from a water-cooled twin-cylinder four-stroke engine. Its cooling concept rests on a combination of air and liquid cooling. Resulting in efficiency, high torque and reliability.

The wet clutch with anti-hopping function and the electric throttle make the R 1200 GS Adventure the ideal companion for adventure.

An innovative highlight of the R 1200 GS and a "must-have" for the modern adventurer – BMW Motorrad Connectivity. This new optional equipment shows you everything about your motorcycle in a smart way and on a 6.5 inch TFT display. Connect your smartphone to your bike via Bluetooth and use functions via the multi-controller on the handlebars such as smartphone-based navigation, accept calls or even make calls, media functions like selecting and listening to music from your smartphone playlist, or use it even more vehicle information intuitively, without becoming too distracted from riding. For some functions, the BMW Motorrad Connected App is also required.

The practical equipment that comes as standard with the touring enduro caters for almost all your needs: two standard driving modes – "Rain" and "Road" – are available at the press of a button and offer your two entirely different, optimally coordinated driving styles.

Other modes are also available as Ride Modes Pro optional equipment. The corresponding Dynamic and Enduro riding modes ensure greater options on your quest for adventure. With a built in coding plug, the Dynamic riding mode becomes Dynamic Pro and Enduro becomes Enduro Pro.

The fuel tank capacity of 7.9 gallons gives you independence on your journey – for those very long stages. In addition, you have an on-board computer at your disposal: for the perfect journey organization and to display important data like doubled trip computer, average consumption and fuel range. Equally practical is the storage compartment above the tank. With this, any small items you have can be on hand at all times.
