BMW R 1250GS Adventure (2019)

The new BMW R 1250 GS Adventure sets the bar high for adventure motorcycles, boasting a further advanced boxer engine that offers a whole new level of power and torque.

With the introduction of BMW ShiftCam Technology, the engine delivers a satisfying sound and improved refinement, particularly in the lower engine speed range. This advanced technology enables variation of the valve timings and valve stroke on the intake side, resulting in more effective combustion and a significant increase in power across the entire engine speed range.

The result is a riding experience that’s both exhilarating and effortless, with the engine’s responsive character making it perfect for both urban and long-distance riding. Whether you’re tackling the twisties or cruising down the highway, the R 1250 GS Adventure is ready to deliver. With its exceptional performance, handling, and comfort, this motorcycle is the ultimate companion for any adventure.
