THE
1200 BOXER SERIES
A NEW MODIFIED ENGINE.
In 2004 the first Boxer model to be fitted with the modified engine – expanded to 1200 cc – was launched: the BMW R 1200 GS. The engine’s torque and output both saw increases, the GS models now developing 100 hp, the RT and ST 110 hp, and the S a lofty 122 hp. The useable rev band was now significantly wider, the engine sustaining the bullish power it drummed up from low engine speeds. The weight-optimised Paralever shaft drive system, updated single-sided swing arm with characteristic hollow axle and revised Telelever front wheel suspension combined to reduce the unsprung masses. All models have been equipped with a new ABS system during their service life, while 2007 saw the GS and Adventure given a facelift and a power boost to 105 hp.

As well as establishing itself as the benchmark machine in the touring enduro genre, the Boxer GS is now the most successful BMW motorcycle to date and brings together a top-class combination of all-round attributes. The latest version of the R 1200 GS is even more powerful and represents a step up from the 1150 in every discipline. A chassis which can be adjusted electronically to suit various situations and surfaces can be specified as an option.
