who remembers the 1200 GS's distant grandmother? To find out, we need to get out the time machine and travel through the spirals of history. 2009... 2000... 1990... 1980 - Tac, here we are. The Paris-Dakar is on everyone's mind (born 2 years ago), and mono trails are everywhere, especially in Japan. BMW designs the R 80 G/S, the first big road trail bike, surpassing the competition in power and size ( - you can find all the info on the R 80 G/S in the motorcycle file created by Tanthallas -> ). The GS family was born, and today BMW has produced 500,000 units.

Insurance Specifications Gallery

to celebrate this half-million-unit milestone, the company with the propeller has created a special edition R 1200 GS. Opting for a white color scheme, this series is discreetly equipped with a few features: black-painted spoked wheels, a two-tone seat, a smoked windshield, aluminum cylinder-head covers, an extension to the upper front mudguard, and a small spoiler on the oil cooler; all this for just over 300 euros.
Sober, almost timid, the 1200 GS Special Edition's decoration might have deserved something more evocative, like the blue-white dress of the R 1150 GS ADVENTURE "Edition 25 ans GS" model released in 2005.
