1200cc BMW R1200GS, New model arriving shortly. The the latest version of a motorcycling legend: the BMW R 1200 GS. What else is there to say about this motorcycle when everything has already been said? Let the machine speak for itself, and ride it. Amazing ability over any terrain, in every situation: keeping up with the super sport bikes along Alpine passes, or simply carrying on where others turn around and go back. Carrying a passenger and a full load? You can race down the motorway just as easily as you can skilfully manoeuvre your way up a winding road to your remote destination. The power of the brakes is beyond all doubt and has an easy time with the bikes weight which, at 199 kg dry, is surprisingly low for a 2-cylinder Enduro. Technophiles will get their moneys worth too, with the perfectly finished tubular space frame and the high-quality construction of the components. And there is a flat twin engine to die for: strong as an ox at low engine speeds, yet willing to rev as a 4-valve should be coming into its own from 5,500 rpm, it will never let you down. Solid German engineering combined with a passion for adventure. But be careful not to go too far on your test ride POA, £0,
