BMW R 1200GS LC Adventure Iconic Limited Edition (2016)

The BMW R 1200GS LC Adventure Iconic Limited Edition is a testament to the brand’s 100-year legacy. Powered by a four-stroke, two-cylinder horizontally opposed Boxer engine, this motorcycle delivers a unique blend of power and character. With a DOHC configuration and 4 valves per cylinder, the engine produces a smooth and linear power delivery, while the 40mm intake and 34mm exhaust provide a distinctive sound and feel.

The motorcycle’s riding experience is further enhanced by its advanced braking system, featuring 305mm twin disc brakes with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, as well as a single 275mm disc with a 2-piston caliper, both with standard, part-integral, and disengageable ABS.

This limited edition model is part of a four-bike series celebrating the 100th anniversary of BMW Motorrad, and only 100 examples of each bike will be produced. The BMW R 1200GS LC Adventure Iconic Limited Edition features a unique AlpineCustom Paint Work, inspired by the 1980s Dakar models, and comes equipped with a range of premium features, including Gear Shift Assist Pro, Cross Spoke Wheels, and a Black Powder Coating on the crash bars, luggage carrier, and heel plates.
