The ultimate ride experience in every journey you take. The ultimate tool was built practically that never fails, in every situation for ultimate extreme pleasure. The GS is not just able to handle everything; it’s actually built to do so. A supreme touring suitability, off-road potential and comfort for rider and pillion passenger.
Yet the current version goes one step further still - with a level of 2-cylinder power which is unsurpassed, and not just within its own segment. The reason is the new DOHC engine*, which first displayed its impressive performance in the legendary HP2 Sport. For the R 1200 GS, torque was given higher priority than output in line with practical considerations. And you can feel it. 88 ft-lb of torque at the peak at 6000 rpm is one thing, but the consistently higher level of torque in the relevant range up to 5000 rpm can be fully experienced. The output has been increased to 110 hp at 7750 rpm.
