BMW R1200GS

The most road-biased of the BMWS. Even here there are model variations, based on trim, from the most basic GS (with manual suspension, just two engine modes and an absence of bells and whistles) to the more popular, extra-packed TE and the new, fully loaded Exclusive. From July, the GS comes with free panniers – which would normally cost an extra £630. The figures we quote here are for the Exclusive.
