Motorcycle specifications BMWR 1200 GS Exclusive 2018 Baroud in business class
presentation of the R 1200 GS Exclusive 2018
As with its siblings, the 1200 GS Exclusive benefits from a number of additional options for 2018. Technology enthusiasts will welcome the new "Connectivity" cockpit. A beautiful digital display with many graphics and colors for a richer visual experience of information. The catalog also includes an emergency call system and new LED headlamps. So, no notable changes for a machine recently refreshed.
After the major changes made to the 1200 GS in 2013 (partial liquid cooling, integrated gearbox, greatly enhanced electronics, increased power), there was no urgent need for major modifications. However, to meet standards, a few tweaks were necessary. In addition to a revised fuel injection and exhaust system, the most famous of all trails has been given a few cosmetic refinements, and is now available in three versions.
for the more adventurous, there's a Rally version... which can only be truly appreciated by dipping into the options catalog. Then there's the Exclusive version, which is more sophisticated and features a number of details that add a touch of refinement.
The R 1200 GS Exclusive starts with a specific color scheme, complete with a large logo painted on the fuel tank. As on the Rally, the radiator caps are in stainless steel. Grey frame, black driveline and gold brake calipers complete the look.
exclusive is more a specific design than a level of finish. No extra options or real differences. In any case, you'll inevitably be tempted to take a look at the packs, to discover the Pro Driving Modes, hill-start assist, ESA Dynamic Next Generation suspension with level control, Shifter Pro, keyless drive system, etc., or settle for the Exclusive.... or settle for the essentials with a pair of suitcases and heated handgrips.

The three packages plus the alarm.
The suspension can take a little while to adjust itself when I'm riding with a passenger.
Otherwise, as always, it's a real joy to ride. Rating : 5/5 Respond to PapsDitMax
