BMW R 1200 GS 2017
Durante mais de 35 anos, a BMW tem continuado a expandir a gama boxer e está constantemente a trabalhar na evolução da GS. Para além da atualização EURO4 do motor com novo catalisador e mapeamento, existem agora ainda mais características como o Dynamic ESA Next Generation com compensação automática da posição de condução, que melhora ainda mais a estabilidade e o conforto do condutor. Com o seu esquema de cores subtil, a versão Exclusive destina-se aos amigos de uma aparência elegante e discreta e, ao contrário da variante Rallye mais vistosa, foi concebida mais para a estrada. Muitas características têm um custo extra, mas os clientes da GS normalmente não se importam - 90 por cento são encomendados com o equipamento completo.
