presentation of the R 1250 GS Adventure 40 years GS Edition 2021
In 2021, the R 1250 GS gained an Eco driving mode, traction control as standard, 12V and USB sockets, new options, etc, etc... and special 40th anniversary editions. It's impossible not to notice them. Not only are they flashy, but they're also priced to sell. What does this R 1250 GS Adventure '40 years GS' have to offer?
For sure, the desire to go on a long raid. It also shows how the manufacturer has pushed the development of its 'Gelande Strasse' to the limit. In essence, a symbol of domination of the land and its lands.
Under the guise of the antipodean drone, the equipment is plethoric. We could sum it up in one word: PRO - the name given to the pack that encompasses all the others. We're going to go into a bit more detail here, so as to give you an idea of all the equipment on board, in addition to the standard equipment, which has been further enriched this year.

Once this list is complete, almost 6,000 euros have just flown by.
The R 1250 GS Adventure 40th Anniversary Edition features 7 Riding Modes, electronics galore, the latest version of the twin Boxer with 1254 cm3 + Shiftcam + Euro5 = 136 hp with abundant torque at all revs, 30 liters of fuel in the belly and gold-legged blackbird decor. Except that the bird has the wingspan of a bird of prey and the range of a trekker.
