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.

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.
