BMW R1200GS Adventure (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2015, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200GS Adventure, a more adventurous version of the standard R1200GS that featured several touring-oriented accessories, which made it more suited for longer journeys.

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.

The 2015 model came in the same shape and form as the previous one, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle was equipped with standard fittings, like a front cowl with an extended beak, a single headlight unit, a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with pillion grab rails, a luggage rack, and wire-spoke wheels.

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 the power figures, the 2015 BMW R1200GS Adventure had its soul brought to life by a 1,170cc four-stroke air/liquid-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivered an output power of 125 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm.
