The BMW R1150GS was a dual-sports motorcycle manufactured by BMW in 1999 to replace the BMW R1100GS. It continued production until 2004, when it was replaced by the R1200GS. In addition, a limited run of the R1150GSA was available from 2005 to 2006.
In addition to the standard model, the German maker offered an adventure version under the R1150GS Adventure designation. Compared to the standard model, the Adventure version packed several differences.
Some differences included a 20 mm longer suspension system, an adjustable White Power rear shock, a 30-liter fuel tank, a one-piece seat, a larger windscreen, an aluminum skid plate, a new crash bar, auxiliary fog lights, a 12v socket, and Continental tires.
Other differences were represented by dark blue anodized rims, aluminum panniers (39-liter right, 36-liter left, and 30-liter top box), EVO front brakes, optional ABS, and new colors.
In 2004, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1150GS Adventure, a motorcycle that debuted in the spring of 2002. The 2004 model packed the same specifications as the previous model without significant modifications.
It was fitted with standard features, like a large beak on the front, a windscreen, headlight bars, fog lights, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, an engine protective plate, panniers, a top box, a single-sided swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels.
As for power, the 2004 BMW R1150GS Adventure took its muscles from a 1,130cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled boxer engine that delivered an output power of 85 hp with maximum strength at 6,750 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 5,250 rpm.
