NEW BMW
R 1200 GS
For 32 years, the BMW Motorrad GS has been defining and dominating the segment of travel enduros. No other motorcycle is such an uncompromising embodiment of freedom and adventure, reliability and riding dynamics, and ultimately pure riding pleasure both on and off the road. At first glance, the new R 1200 GS too is a genuine GS: robust, dynamic, and full of character. Virtually all surfaces were revised, and all materials provided with a better finish. The two-cylinder opposed twin engine merges harmoniously into the unmistakable GS flyline. The bike features a new engine featuring water-cooled technology, new wet clutch with anti-hopping feature and complete new electronic system
With winter having taken a few tentative bites, seeing and being seen gets even more important. That’s why BMW Motorrad are giving you the chance to illuminate the roads with the help of the R 1200 GS visibility pack for £895.30 which includes a Fluro System 6 helmet and LED lights.
A new feature for the R 1200 GS is the water-cooled boxer engine. With its 125 hp (92 kW) and 125 Nm torque, the two-cylinder opposed twin engine promises power in every situation. Based on a new concept of combined air and liquid cooling and vertical flows through the cylinders, the engine operates efficiently, reliably, and with high torques at all times. Further improvements like the new wet clutch with anti-hopping feature and the electromotive throttle actuator E-Gas make the opposed twin engine the perfect drive solution at the heart of the new R 1200 GS. The field potential of the new R 1200 GS was further expanded with a new, more rigid main frame and suspension elements mounted on a stiffer bearing. Also improved were the Paralever and Telelever for perceptibly better GS riding BUY ONLINE:

GRAND PRIX 2012 Well done to Martin Jessopp on his second place at the 2012 Macau Grand Prix together with achieving the fastest recorded lap of the race, a super quick 2.27.249. Martin achieved his podium place on the RidersMotorcycles.com 1198 RS and it was his second consecutive year in second place. Martin said “it was a good result but wasn’t the result I wanted, finishing second place last year there was only one place I wanted. I gambled on a soft tyre, got a bad start and ended up 8th or 9th after the first corner, I managed to make up the places and was in a strong second but by then my tyre was going off and despite pushing hard I couldn’t reach Michael Rutter’.
