‹ Home › Inventory › 2017 R 1200 GS

The 2017 BMW R 1200 GS stands as a benchmark in the open-class adventure touring segment, striking an exceptional balance between transcontinental highway comfort and rugged off-road capability. At its core is a refined 1,170cc air/liquid-cooled boxer twin engine that pumps out 125 horsepower and a robust 92 lb-ft of torque via a smooth, shaft-driven system. The 2017 mid-generation update introduces Euro 4 compliance along with vital drivetrain revisions, including a transmission judder damper for significantly smoother gear shifts. Tech-focused riders benefit from advanced factory options like the "Next Generation" Dynamic ESA electronic suspension, which offers automated self-leveling to compensate for luggage or passenger weight. Safety is optimized through premium rider aids, including lean-sensitive traction control and cornering ABS Pro that maintain stability during mid-turn braking. Ultimately, this iteration perfected the legendary GS formula, cementing its status as an unstoppable, highly sophisticated globetrotter.
