The BMW GS series of dual purpose off-road/on-road BMW motorcycles have been produced from 1980, when the R80G/S was launched, to the present day. The GS refers to either Gelände/Straße (German: off-road/road) or Gelände Sport. GS motorcycles can be distinguished from other BMW models by their longer travel suspension, an upright riding position, and larger front wheels – typically 19 to 21 inch. In May 2009, the 500,000th GS was produced, an R1200GS model.
The GS has been available with a range of different engines, including single-cylinder, twin-cylinder water-cooled and twin-cylinder air- ("Airheads") and air/oil-cooled ("Oilheads" and "Hexheads").
The first shaft driven GS model was the R80G/S with a 797.5 cc air-cooled, flat-twin boxer engine. The BMW 247 engine, which was also fitted to many other bikes in the BMW range, is known as an airhead, because it relies on airflow across the cylinder heads and cylinder 'barrels' to provide most of the cooling for the engine. The most valued version was the R80G/S-PD "Paris-Dakar" model featuring a larger tank, which was launched in celebration of the R80G/S wins in the Paris Dakar Rally. In certain markets a 649.6 cc R65GS version was also available. These early machines used a combined rear suspension and drive swingarm called a Monolever.
The BMW R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure are motorcycles manufactured in Berlin, Germany by BMW Motorrad, part of the BMW group. It is one of the BMW GS family of dual sport motorcycles. Both motorcycles have an 1,170 cc (71 cu in), two-cylinder boxer engine with 4-valves per cylinder. The Adventure has a larger capacity fuel tank and longer travel suspension. As of 2012, BMW's R1200GS bikes are their top-selling models.
At its launch in 2004, the R1200GS was 30 kg (66 lb) lighter than the R1150GS it replaced, and produced 100 bhp (75 kW), an increase of 19%. BMW continued to produce the R1150GS Adventure, releasing a final run-out special edition model, before launching the R1200GS Adventure at the end of 2005, for the 2006 model year.
Upgrades for model year 2008 included increased power to 105 bhp (78 kW), a new Integral ABS II anti-lock braking system was released without servo assistance and new options were added including electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) and the Automatic Stability Control (ASC) traction control system.
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (German pronunciation: [baˈjɛɐ̯ɪʃə mɔˈtɔʁn̩ ˈvɛɐ̯kə]; German for Bavarian Motor Works), usually known under its abbreviation BMW, is a German luxury automobile, motorcycle, and engine manufacturing company founded in 1916. Headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it also owns and produces Mini cars and serves as the parent company of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. BMW produces motorcycles under BMW Motorrad, and plug-in electric cars under the BMW i sub-brand. It is one of the best-selling luxury automakers in the world. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.
BMW was established as a business entity following a restructuring of the Rapp Motorenwerke aircraft manufacturing firm in 1917. After the end of World War I in 1918, BMW was forced to cease aircraft-engine production by the terms of the Versailles Armistice Treaty. The company consequently shifted to motorcycle production as the restrictions of the treaty started to be lifted in 1923, followed by automobiles in 1928–29.
We’ve asserted that if we were told we were going on a road trip tomorrow—with no info on where we were headed or for how long—the bike we’d choose for that mystery adventure would be a BMW GS. The R1200GS is as versatile as a Swiss army knife and has had a major impact on motorcycling. What effect has it had, how did it all begin, and how big is the GS now? We explore those ideas and the genesis of the GS in this episode of On Two Wheels.
The BMW R1200GS is a stonkingly brilliant machine - but it's not 100% perfect if you want to be picky about it...here are ten things which I think could be improved...(but I am being picky)...

The R1200GS is enjoying an odd two-stage transition into 2017. Already available in dealers is an updated GS which boasts a few visual nips and tucks, as well as drivetrain revisions with an anti-judder damper on the transmission output drive, and modifications to the selector drum and transmission shafts. The bikes have also been made Euro4 compliant. Now BMW have revealed the full 2017 version with a raft of further dynamic improvements, plus two new versions to pick from in the model line-up. A base model is available, as are three package options (Dynamic, Comfort and Touring), and now you can also pick between new Rallye or Exclusive models. The existing R1200GS Adventure continues in 2017, but we don’t expect a full model update until 2018. Highlights Two new factory options Drive...

As a long term owner of a "standard" R1200 GS I have been itching to try a GS Adventure. This video is my review of the updated 2017 R1200 GS Adventure.

This was the demonstration that was happening throughout the Motorcycle Live 2015 event and it was a cracking demo and something that I think I will try and squeeze into my tight 2016 schedule Simon Pavey and his team have developed their own unique programme for each level of training, that has been constantly refined to provide the best learning experience and most fun. Our instructors are not just great off-road riders with years of experience either; we put as much emphasis on their teaching abilities, techniques and skill. Being a great rider counts for nothing if you can’t clearly convey your knowledge. We pride ourselves on our instructors and we are always learning and developing our own teaching abilities. We are one of the only schools in the world that has a dedicated instruct...

The 2016 BMW R1200GS is a refinement of everything BMW Motorrad has learnt over the years with many of the latest electronic innovations fitted to this adventure style motorcycle. In this video, and yes it's a little longer than many of the others at around 11 minutes, we give our opinion of the bike after riding it over some 2,000 kilometres in both off road and bitumen conditions. There are definitely faster adventure bikes, but there are few around with the level of sales success of the GS ... and for good reason. This is one fantastic package.
