In 2009, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW R1200GS, a machine capable of tackling everyday tasks, longer weekend strolls, as well as off-road trails without compromising performance.
The BMW R1200GS, alongside the R1200GS Adventure (also known as the R1200GSA), was a motorcycle made by BMW Motorrad in Berlin, Germany, from 2004 to 2012. The BMW R1200GS Adventure was manufactured from 2005 until 2013.
The standard model debuted in 2004 and ended production in 2012 when it was replaced by the R1200 GS (LC), while the adventure version debuted in 2005 and was replaced by the R1200GS Adventure (LC) in 2014.
In the visual department, the motorcycle was fitted with standard fittings, such as a half fairing, a windscreen, hand guards, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a luggage rack, a two-into-one exhaust system, and five-spoke aluminum wheels.
Suspension-wise, the motorcycle was handled by a 41 mm adjustable Telelever system on the front with 190 mm of travel and a single-sided swingarm with an adjustable Paralever system on the rear that offered 200 mm of travel.
Regarding power, the 2009 BMW R1200GS was set in motion by a 1,170cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled fuel-injected boxer engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering 105 hp a 7,500 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 5,750 rpm.
