2014 BMW R1200GS

For 32 years the BMW Motorrad GS has been defining and dominating the segment of travel enduros. No other motorcycle is such an uncompromising embodiment of freedom and adventure reliability and riding dynamics and ultimately pure riding pleasure both on and off the road. BMW Motorrad is now embarking on the next chapter of its success story ? with the new R 1200 GS. This was not an easy task for the developers and engineers at BMW Motorrad. How can you improve on a living motorcycle legend and a travel enduro that is already outstanding to start with? However through a continuous drive for refinement and evolution the hard work has paid off. The result: the perfection of an icon. At first glance the new R 1200 GS too is a genuine GS: robust dynamic and full of character. Virtually all surfaces were revised and all materials provided with a better finish. The two-cylinder opposed twin engine merges harmoniously into the unmistakable GS flyline. A new feature for the R 1200 GS is the water-cooled boxer engine. This has allowed us to sculpt revolutionary vertical contours ? a masterpiece of lightness and aerodynamics. With its 125 hp (92 kW) and 125 Nm torque the two-cylinder opposed twin engine promises power in every situation. Based on a new concept of combined air and liquid cooling and vertical flows through the cylinders the engine operates efficiently reliably and with high torques at all times. Further improvements like the new wet clutch with anti-hopping feature and the electromotive throttle actuator E-Gas make the opposed twin engine the perfect drive solution at the heart of the new R 1200 GS
