BMW R1200GS Adventure (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R1200GS Adventure, also known as the R1200GSA, was an adventure motorcycle made by BMW from 2005 until 2013, when it was replaced by the BMW R1200GS Adventure (LC), which was made from 2014 to 2019.

In 2014, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R1200GS Adventure, a more touring-oriented version of the base model, fitted with touring-oriented accessories that enhanced its overall capabilities.

The 2014 Adventure model, as well as the base model, came with several improvements that included adjustments in the handling department and adding features, such as LED headlights, keyless ignition, a quick-shifter, an anti-theft system, and a lower seat option. In addition, the bike had an ABS mode available as a software update that allowed safer braking.

The motorcycle's aesthetic department was characterized by standard fittings, such as a half fairing with an extended beak, a tinted windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, pillion grab rails, a tank bag, a top box, panniers, a two-into-one exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

For suspension, the model 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.

Power-wise, the 2014 BMW R1200GS Adventure had its soul brought to life by a 1,170cc four-stroke air/liquid-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivered an output power of 125 hp at 7,500 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm.
