2005 R1200GS Adventure
Overview
| The ultimate "Long Way Round" endure is even more ultimate now. With the same 100 bhp power plant as the R1200GS, the new adventure is 26 lbs. lighter that the old Adventure despite having a larger monster 8.7 gallon tank, taller windshield, adjustable saddle, extra-wide foot pegs with adjustable gearshift, and standard rugged tank and engine guards. Still available: optional ABS that you can switch off with a flick of the thumb. The world will soon agree - the R1200GS Adventure is the most advanced enduro on the planet. |
