The BMW R1150GS was a dual-sports motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 1999 to replace the BMW R1100GS. It continued production until 2004, when it was replaced by the R1200GS. In addition, a limited run of the R1150GSA was available from 2005 to 2006.

In 2001, the German motorcycle maker introduced the BMW R1150GS Adventure, an adventure machine created by the House of Munich to tackle the harshest terrains possible, allowing riders to spend as much time as possible behind the bars.

Compared to the base model, the adventure machine had a number of differences, such as an optional 30-liter fuel tank, a larger windscreen, a one-piece seat, a raised suspension system by 20 mm, a lower first gear, and a conventional sixth gear instead of the overdrive gear of the base model.

The bike's appearance was characterized by standard fittings, such as a large beak, a windscreen, a headlight grill, hand guards, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, side-mounted panniers, a top box, and wire-spoke wheels shod with off-road tires.

In the performance department, the 2001 BMW R1150GS Adventure had its soul brought to life by a 1,130cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivered an output power of 85 hp at 6,750 rpm and 98 NM (72 lb-ft) torque at 5,250 rpm.
