As its name says, the BMW R1200GS Adventure was a more adventurous machine than the standard GS model. It featured a larger-capacity fuel tank and a longer suspension travel than the base model.

The BMW R1200GS, alongside the R1200GS Adventure (also known as the R1200GSA), was a motorcycle created by BMW Motorrad in Berlin, Germany, from 2004 to 2012. The BMW R1200GS Adventure was manufactured from 2005 until 2013.

In 2007, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R1200GS Adventure, a motorcycle that debuted in 2005. It wore several touring-oriented accessories, making it more suitable for longer journeys.

The 2007 Adventure model had standard features such as an adjustable windscreen, heated hand grips, hand guards, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, side-mounted aluminum panniers, a top box, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

As for suspension, the motorcycle packed a 41 mm adjustable Telelever system on the front that offered 210 mm of travel and a single-sided swingarm with an adjustable BMW Motorrad Paralever system on the rear that provided 220 mm of travel.

Two 305 mm brake discs bolted to the front wheel, and a 265 mm disc bolted to the rear wheel achieved the braking power. The front rotors were engaged by four-piston calipers, while the rear one featured a two-piston caliper.

Regarding power, the 2007 BMW R1200GS Adventure was set in motion by a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine, boasting 100 hp at 7,000 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm.
