History [edit]
At its launch in 2004, the R1200GS was 30 kg (66 lb) lighter than the R1150GS it replaced,[4] and produced 100 bhp (75 kW), an increase of 19%. BMW continued to produce the R1150GS Adventure, releasing a final run-out special edition model,[5] before launching the R1200GS Adventure at the end of 2005, for the 2006 model year.[6]
In 2007, upgrades were made to both models for the 2008 model year. Power was increased to 105 bhp (78 kW), a new Integral ABS II anti-lock braking system was released without servo assistance and new options were added including electronic suspension adjustment (ESA) and the Automatic Stability Control (ASC) traction control system.[7][8]
In 2010 model year, both models had a revised cylinder head with double overhead camshaft, increased redline limit to 8,500 rpm, and an exhaust flap to give the exhaust a different tone. Power is increased to 110 hp (82 kW) @ 7,750 rpm.[9]
At the 2012 Intermot show, BMW announced that the 2013 model would be water cooled, deliver an additional 15 horsepower (11 kW), and weigh approximately 20 pounds (9.1 kg) more than the outgoing model.[10]
Popularity [edit]
As of 2007, the R1200GS is the best selling motorcycle that BMW has built, exceeding 100,000 units.[11] In 2006, the R1200GS was the best selling motorcycle in the United Kingdom. The two models had combined sales of 2,227 units, compared with the next best selling bike, the Honda Fireblade which sold 2,067 units.[12] Nearly one third of the 100,000 units sold by BMW Motorrad worldwide in 2006 were R1200GS.[12] In 2008, the R1200GS was once again BMW's best selling motorcycle, with 22,845 standard models and 12,460 Adventure models being delivered.[13] In 2012, Cycle World called the R1200GS "the most successful motorcycle in the last two-and-a-half decades" and credited it for creating the adventure touring category.[14]
In 2007, the Adventure model of the bike was used by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman for a trip from John o' Groats in Scotland to Cape Agulhas in South Africa.[15] The trip was documented in a book and television series Long Way Down.
The R1200GS was featured in several episodes the BBC Two television programme The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook, ridden by chefs Dave Myers and Si King.[16][17]
Safety issues [edit]
The R1200GS has been affected by a number of safety issues since launch. The United Kingdom Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) has issued nine separate vehicle recalls covering the front brakes,[18] anti-lock braking system,[19][20] throttle cable,[21] fuel pump,[22] clutch,[23] final drive assembly,[24] brake pipes,[25] and gearbox.[26] Similar recalls have been issued in other countries.
A few early reports described the bike as having a front end "head shake".[27][28] Deliveries of the motorcycle were delayed while BMW adjusted the front end design.[29][30]
