BMW R 1200GS LC (2013)

The BMW R 1200GS LC is a testament to the brand’s commitment to building motorcycles that embody the spirit of adventure and riding pleasure. At its heart lies a four-stroke, two-cylinder Boxer engine, boasting DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder for unparalleled power and efficiency.

The 52mm throttle valve and BMS-XE carburetion system work in harmony to deliver a smooth and responsive ride, while the closed-loop 3-way catalytic converter ensures minimal environmental impact. The bike’s tubular steel bridge frame and engine self-supporting BMW Motorrad Telelever provide a stable and agile platform for handling the most challenging terrain.

Whether carving through twisties or traversing rough terrain, the R 1200GS LC’s Cast aluminum single-sided swing arm and BMW Motorrad Paralever work in tandem with the Hydraulically actuated twin disc brake system to provide exceptional braking power and control. With its unique blend of power, comfort, and versatility, the BMW R 1200GS LC is poised to continue its legacy as one of the world’s greatest adventure motorcycles.
