Introducing the all new 2011 R1200 GS, the boxer engine has been updated to give it more torque, improved response and better acceleration across the rev range. With two overhead cams per cylinder!  The new radial valve arrangement brings an increase in engine output of 5%. Now more than ever, the R1200 GS combines the comfort of a touring bike with a new and improved adventure package. There’s a world out there waiting to be explored and the R1200 GS is the bike to do it on.

Building upon the former generation of the R1200 GS, which already offered supreme power and performance as well as a broad range of practical riding qualities for long tours combined with supreme pleasure on winding country and mountain roads, BMW is now enhancing this standard to an even higher level.  A more powerful engine with extra torque, results in even greater driving dynamics.

The R1200 GS really suits New Zealand, even though we don’t want our bikes off the tar-sealed highways this bike certainly handles all the roads superbly and also makes the few road works you may come across very easy to pass.
