R 1150 GS
 This
is the original adventure tourer! The mighty GS is unique,
and no other model of this type can compare to its race-winning
heritage. BMW practically owns the boasting rights to the
grueling Paris to Dakar marathon. And though you may never
need to cross the Sahara, you'll be glad to know this motorcycle
has plenty of awesome real-world features. The big 1150cc
Opposed Twin produces a linear torque spread that peaks at
71 ft-lbs (great for wheelies). Power flows from the 6-speed
transmission to the road via the maintenance free drive shaft.
The wheels are BMW patented cross spoke design which use tubeless
tires. On the pavement, the agility and performance will surprise
sport bike riders; and yet the two-up comfort will impress
the touring crowd. But the beauty of it is: you don't have
to stop where the pavement ends. On the R1150GS, the adventure
of a lifetime is opened up before you!
