Deep redesign

If the engine was revised, as we will see a little later, so was the design completely changes. The most noticeable change is still the light signature in the front optic, which takes a X design. A bias on the part of the Bavarian manufacturer that will do debate definitely. No more asymmetric lights of the old version.

As standard, these new projectors will be offered at LED. This also applies to motorcycle indicators. As an option, BMW offers equipment called “Headlight Pro“. The LED beam will then illuminate the inside of the turn depending on the angle of the motorcycle.

If at first glance the new GS seems more compact than the old one, think again! She always measures Length 2.21 m and the saddle height is located at 850 mm. As for the wheelbase, the last measurements 1518 mmor 7mm less than the old R 1250 GS and its 1525mm.
