The all new BMW R1200GS is here!
The Cologne Intermot show is here and BMW Motorrad have finally revealed the much awaited and all new, 9th generation R1200GS. Going all out this certainly looks the best GS ever! Featuring an amped up 125bhp water/air cooled motor with semi-active suspension, the all new GS also gets an all new chassis, day-time running LED lights, brand new display, new bolt on subframe, new styling, adjustable controls( ala K1600GT) including levers, seat, footrests and handlebars along with the most advanced electronically controlled suspension available on the market!
The biggest change comes in the engine, with water-cooling being introduced for the first time. Rather than the engine being fully water-cooled, 65% will still be air-cooled, while the rest will be cooled by a system that uses a water-glycol mixture and two radiators. The GS will come in 3 variants- Dynamik, Touring and Off road with varying levels of equipment in 4 colors- Racing Red, Alpine white, Blue Fire and Thunder Grey Metallic.
Along with the launch they have also launched the 'One World, One R 1200 GS' contest where riders from across the world can participate and the lucky ones get to ride in any one of the 5 amazing tours around the world. The bike goes on sale in the first quarter of 2013 and should be expected here by year end.
