A antecessora já era capaz de ser conduzida de forma desportiva, bem como convincente em passeios, a nova R 1200 R pode fazer ainda mais - graças ao sistema de pannier (claro que a um custo extra), viajar ainda não é problema, mas domina o desporto ainda melhor. Graças ao motor boxer de dois cilindros, agora parcialmente arrefecido a água, é maravilhosamente ágil - 125 cv podem não parecer muito no papel, mas o motor empurra incrivelmente e comporta-se de uma forma cultivada. O chassis e os travões também têm uma pontuação elevada e a posição de assento é desportiva e direita, cobrindo um amplo espetro desde a diversão maravilhosa até às viagens de longa distância. Infelizmente, a BMW também entende perfeitamente o truque com a lista de sobretaxas. O modelo básico está bem equipado com ABS que pode ser desativado, controlo de tração que também pode ser desativado e dois modos de condução, mas muitos truques interessantes são quase obrigatórios - e, claro, fazem subir muito o preço.

Uma GS sente-se em casa em quase todo o lado - mas apenas de forma limitada na pista de corridas. É um prazer sentir a potência do bicilindro boxer parcialmente arrefecido a água à saída da curva - 125 cv só no papel parecem muito mais fracos do que os 150 ou mesmo 160 cv da concorrência. Com 125 Newton metros de binário, a aceleração a partir do fundo é soberba e a GS, com 238 quilos pronta a conduzir, não carrega demasiada flacidez apesar da sua aparência volumosa. Em curvas muito apertadas, o baixo centro de gravidade também tem um efeito positivo - a BMW R 1200 GS é muito difícil de quebrar! Mesmo a suspensão dianteira com telelever, que suprime a tendência da roda dianteira para afundar durante a travagem, encaixa-se perfeitamente no pacote geral da GS e só pode diminuir ligeiramente o seu carácter desportivo.
