Motorcycle specifications BMWR 1200 GS Rallye 2012 A language of adventure
presentation of the R 1200 GS Rallye 2012
it feels like the end of life for the R 1200 GS. Ahead of the eagerly-awaited next-generation liquid-block model, BMW is stepping up the number of special series for its famous trail bike, the world's best-selling model in its segment (and others). After the frankly dark Triple Blacks, the Rallye edition is a return to luminosity. The decor is based on that of the first R 80 GS Paris/Dakar, the initiator of the segment. Covered in a very "hunter-alpine" white, the R 1200 GS Rallye sports the BMW Motorsport colors on its flanks. The eye-catching feature is the red frame, monopolizing the eye with a series of small cosmetic details, such as the integrated forkgrant fork, the two-tone seat, the all-chrome exhaust system, the black-painted engine, and the granite-gray cylinder heads and swingarm.
the air-cooled boxer remains, with cylinder heads derived from the HP2 Sport, as does the highly efficient chassis. But a special series means extra equipment. The Rallye offers more than just decoration. For an extra 850 euros (14,950 euros in Germany), you get a trip computer, heated grips, a set of handguards, a luggage rack, ESA Enduro electronic suspension and spoked wheels.

All the same, I'm very satisfied with this machine, with which I've covered over three thousand kilometers in three weeks. Next Tuesday, I'm off to complete the break-in by riding to Venice via the Dolomites and back via Switzerland from near Besançon, where I live. I've checked the camping gear, so all that's left is to load the suitcases (Vario of course)
Have a good summer,
Prudence and courtesy,
Jean

You feel very comfortable on this machine, which looks very cheerful for once (low 82 cm seat). I think I'll break my
Little Porcelain Pig and give it to myself for my birthday with all the options and the luggage kit.
