What Is It?

The BMW R1250GS is a premium adventure bike which can be spec'd up with all the toys and is powered by a liquid cooled 1,254 cc Boxer engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), producing 134.1 bhp at 7,750 rpm and maximum torque at 6,250 rpm. Power makes its way to the rear wheel via shaft drive.

Features include:

  • Dual 305 mm discs up front with BMW four piston calipers
  • 276 mm disc at the rear with Brembo two piston caliper
  • BMW ABS system with off mode
  • Telelever front suspension with 190 mm travel
  • Adjustable Paralever rear suspension with 200 mm travel
  • Ride modes: Road, Rain
  • Traction control
  • Hill start assist
  • 850 mm / 870 mm adjustable seat
  • LED lighting all round
  • 6.5" colour TFT dash with multi wheel and connectivity
  • 6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator

Compared to the R1200GS the big change is the new 84 cc larger engine with VVT (BMW ShiftCam) and a new exhaust system to match. There are some diagrams above to check out but basically it mechanically shifts between a low speed efficient and high speed high power cam profile to offer better economy and power.

Power is up 11 bhp and maximum torque appears a smidge further down the range, while BMW claim fuel economy is a bit better as well but weight is inevitably up by 5 kg. The 10-spoke 19" front wheel takes a 120/70 tyre and the rear 17" a 170/60.
