Motorcycle specifications BMWR 1250 GS 40 years GS Edition 2021 The years in the skin

40 years of GS! The festivities began in the summer of 2020, with the F series(750 - 850 - 850 Adventure) decked out in a hymenoptera color scheme for the occasion.

the R 1250 GS joins this tribute with touches of yellow on a black background. The ionized sports bubble, two-tone seat and wheels benefit most from these bits of sunshine. For the younger generation, there's a touch of Bumblebee about it; for the older generation, there's a clear link with the 1988 R 100 GS.

the 1254 cm3 Boxer passes Euro5 without changing its watts. It still produces 136 horsepower and torque at all levels, with Shiftcam variable valve timing. All the big GSs pass this stage, so, apart from the color, what distinguishes this special edition from the others?

loads of gear. Over-equipped, the 1250 GS 40 Years comes with a whole host of equipment and options. It's a way of demonstrating the excellence of the GS and the culmination of a dynasty. The "Pack PRO 40 Years GS Edition" is the recipient of the Comfort, Dynamic, Touring and Connected packs. That's 3/4 of the catalog; the rest is made up mainly of 719 options.
Let's put together a short list, just to make you a little dizzy:

• Hand guards
• Heated grips
• Keyride keyless start
• Cruise control
• GPS preparation
• Luggage racks
• Chrome exhaust
• Shifter Pro
• Pro driving modes
• ESA Dynamic semi-active suspension
• Alarm
• Adaptive cornering lights
• Pro high beam
• Multifunction turn signals
• Cruising light
• Additional lights
• Tire pressure sensor
• Hill-start assist
• Engine brake adjustment
• Gold-finish spoked wheels
• Low Rallye seat
• Intelligent emergency call
• Traction control
• Active ABS Pro for cornering
• 7 riding modes (Eco - Rain - Road - Dynamic - Dynamic Pro - Enduro - Enduro Pro)

it' s not hard to see why the GS 40 is priced so much higher than the standard model. In fact, it's a bit of a slap in the face. But BMW is certain to further illustrate its dominance of the category with this kind of model.
