The R 1200 GS Adventure promises to always ride on – no matter what the challenge.

Reliable and powerful.

Regardless of where you're off to, the R 1200 GS Adventure is always a dynamic companion. Inspired by the legendary boxer torque of 92 lb-ft and 125 hp (92 kW) from a water-cooled twin-cylinder four-stroke engine. Its cooling concept rests on a combination of air and liquid cooling.

The wet clutch with anti-hopping function and the electric throttle make the R 1200 GS Adventure the ideal companion for adventure.
