BMW Celebrates 30 Years of the GS With a Special Edition GS Range

The new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure demonstrate their enhanced dynamics through new surface design and colours.

Ostra Grey matt metallic gives the R 1200 GS a particularly technical touch. Sapphire Black metallic, on the other hand, gives the new R 1200 GS a very masculine look, while the two non-metallic paintwork options in sophisticated Alpine White and brilliant Magma Red highlight the sporting offroad ambitions of the new R 1200 GS.

On the R 1200 GS Adventure Smoke Grey metallic emphasises the almost rustic, masculine character of the machine, while Brilliant Yellow metallic accentuates its sporting offroad qualities. Particularly the second colour variant forms an exciting contrast to the seat fi nished in Black Olive Grey. The new throttle butterfly manifolds come in Black.

Tony Jakeman, Marketing Manager for BMW Motorrad UK, said: “The popularity and high volume of sales over the past 30 years, underline the unique and universal appeal of the GS ‘Gelande Strasse’ concept.

“Until fairly recently, BMW’s GS range of motorcycles was considered a rather niche proposition, used mainly by globetrotters and desert racers. However, the legendary GS has now firmly entered the mainstream, buoyed by a realisation that the unique blend of on and off-road capabilities, combined with the GS range’s touring credentials, make for the perfect all-round motorcycle.”

Prices for the new “30 Years GS” range will be announced on 01 June. BMW Motorrad Dealers will be holding “30 Years GS” Open Days on 19 June when demonstrators will be available for customers to try.
