BMW R1200GS Adventure TE

THE DISTANCE MODEL

It’s been a foolproof formula for BMW: take the GS and add a large tank, longer-travel suspension, rugged looks and wait for the money to roll in. From the first 1150 to this liquid-cooled 1200, the GS-A has been a huge success. Too big and heavy for anyone but expert off-roaders, the size puts off some others. Those who aren’t daunted find it a superbly flexible long-distance tourer. The TE has the extras most riders want. SPEC Wheels spoked, 19in front, 17in rear Fuel tank 30 litres Weight 263kg Gears six-speed, optional quickshift/ auto-blipper Screen manually adjustable, larger than standard GS Seat two-piece, split level. Seat height 890/910mm Suspension semi-active damping, electronically adjusted preload. Travel (front/rear) 210mm/220mm
