BMW R 1200 GS Brochure page 6

An UNSTOPPABLE machine that offers unlimited freedom to the rider. It is equally serene on tarmac
and rough terrain alike – so now the only restriction on your touring is how homesick you get. It features an
upgraded drive train, an even more expressive design, and, for the  rst time, the Enduro ESA suspension
option. The BMW R 1200 GS – because even the most free of spirits need something to rely on.
