In 2013, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200GS Adventure, the same machine as the R1200GS standard model but fitted with several touring-oriented features that enhanced its overall capabilities.
The BMW R1200GS Adventure, also known as the R1200GSA, was an adventure motorcycle made by BMW from 2005 until 2013, when it was replaced by the BMW R1200GS Adventure (LC), which was made from 2014 to 2019.
In addition to the standard's model features, the Adventure version featured 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 motorcycle's aesthetic department was complemented by standard features, like 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.
As for suspension, the model packed a 41 mm adjustable Telelever system on the front that offered 210 mm of travel and a single-sided swingarm with an adjustable BMW Motorrad Paralever system on the rear that provided 220 mm of travel.
As for power, the 2013 BMW R1200GS Adventure had its heartbeat set by a 1,170cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine mounted at its core, delivering 110 hp at 7,750 rpm and 120 Nm (88 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
