2005 R1200GS
Overview
Where
you’re going, there are no zip codes.
If
off-road riding courses through your veins, the R1200GS may just make your blood
boil. Boasting a 15% increase in both power output and torque, this lean
(496lbs.) and mean (1200cc, 100bhp) machine features BMW’s newly updated boxer
engine and a host of features that make it the ultimate answer to the call of
the wild.
For
those who dream of riding every curve to the edge of civilization, the
R1200GS’s extra-stiff running gear offers superior riding safety, outstanding
handling, and unprecedented accuracy on mountain switchbacks and rugged riverbed
bends.
Back
on paved ground the R1200GS rides smooth owing to an all-new six-speed gear box
and newly optimized lightweight Paralever and Telelver suspension. Fuel
consumption has been reduced by 8% - a definite benefit in remote parts of the
world. And once again BMW has set a new standard in environmental compatibility.
With
increased agility and amplified output the new R1200GS is BMW’s latest
evolution in Enduro touring… a category it invented 25 years ago.
