BMW Other description

2008 Bmw R 1200 GS, One Sweet Titan Silver R1200GS....So Clean, so well equipped and oh so ready! - Feasts on pavement. Chews dirt. Demands seconds. When this one left Germany BMW installed every option on their list. It has ABS II, ASC, ESA, TPM, Cross Spoke Wheels, Chrome Exhaust, On Board Computer, Hand Protectors,and Bag mounts. Its original owner added the Vario Bags and Top Case with passenger comfort back rest. All are keyed to the bike's ignition making for a one key operation. Next he added the Garmin Zumo Navigator, a set of cylinder protectors, a big foot for the side stand and a set of the large pattern rider's pegs. This one is so right and so ready. Twisties? Touring? Gravel roads? It hardly matters because to the R 1200 GS, the most versatile machine in the 2008 GS lineup. This year, a five-percent increase in power raises its output to 105 ponies for even quicker acceleration. Handling is agile and precise thanks to a Telelever suspension system, and with Enduro ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) you can adjust both front and rear suspensions between sport, normal, comfort, and off-road settings. The 2008 R 1200 GS also gets a few sporty new features that make it even more eye-catching, including stainless steel knee covers on each side of the gas tank, dynamic cylinder covers, as well as an ergonomic aluminum handlebar and a more comfortable seat. The result? A bike that thrashes every road you throw at it and begs for more.

Ridden: BMW R1200GS Adventure

Fri, 07 Oct 2011

My first meeting with a BMW GS was an unfortunate one. It was going back a few years now (certainly pre-Charlie McGregor era) Having just picked up this new model, I’d ridden 100 miles on a warm summer’s evening to reach my house by dusk. Mindful of the fact that said house contained two frenetic, bark-happy border collies and a small, sleeping child, I cut the ignition, whipped the clutch in and planned a gentle coast up to the area outside my front door.
