The BMW R1200GS Adventure, also known as the R1200GSA, was a motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 2005 until 2013 when it was replaced by the BMW R1200GS Adventure (LC) made from 2014 to 2019.
Unlike the standard model, the Adventure version packed a larger windscreen for better protection against elements, wire-spoke wheels for improved off-road capabilities, and a luggage rack that allowed the rider to take more stuff with him in his longer strolls.
In 2011, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200GS Adventure. It was a standard machine fitted with a larger windscreen for better protection against elements, wire-spoke wheels for improved off-road capabilities, and a luggage rack that allowed the rider to take more stuff with him in his longer strolls.
The 2011 Adventure model had standard features, such as an adjustable windscreen, heated grips, hand guards, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, side-mounted aluminum panniers, a top box, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.
The 2011 model came with the same package as the previous one, which received several modifications, such as a revised cylinder head with a double overhead camshaft (DOHC), an increased redline limit to 8,500 rpm, an increased power output to 110 hp, and an exhaust flap for a different sound.
As for the power figures, the 2011 BMW R1200GS Adventure had installed a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine, boasting 110 hp at 7,500 rpm and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm.
