BMW R 1150GS Adventure

Feel like an adventure? Why not go off the beaten track? The R 1150 GS Adventure opens a whole new perspective to globetrotters. Never before have faraway places - the experience of boundaries, the discovery of new cultures and wild landscapes - been so near as they are with the BMW R 1150 GS Adventure.

This adventurer has an unmistakable face: striking, impressive, unambiguous. No journey is too long, no path too stony, no country too exotic. It's not just about motorcycling: it's about experiencing adventures. Discover a travel Enduro which really has what it takes. The Adventure completely redefines adventure itself.

The last adventures are under threat of extinction!
Aren�t full diaries and strict rules are about to rob them of their existence?
It is with this in mind that BMW has developed the R 1150 GS ADVENTURE. ADVENTURE is not just a name: it is a promise. If GS stood for the ultimate travel Enduro, ADVENTURE will stand for the discovery and exploration of the most remote corners of the earth.
The cry for adventure on the unsecured pathways of this world is responded to impressively with the ADVENTURE. Where there is no telephone connection, no road signs and no houses, there is still a way: the R 1150 GS Adventure.
Based on the highly sophisticated flat twin engine concept and a well-established frame geometry, the ADVENTURE provides a wealth of special features. Longer spring travel, robust underbody protection, a special seat and countless special equipment items such as fall bracket, short first gear, large 30 litre fuel tank, aluminium carrier, top case, additional headlamp, RON 91 suitability and much more ensure that adventures have space to breathe once more.
Whether in the frozen heights of Bolivia, the heat of Africa, the vast expanses of North America or the exotic colour of Asia - the BMW R 1150 GS ADVENTURE is at home on all the roads of the world.

The BMW R 1150 GS ADVENTURE was presented on 13.09.01 at the IAA in Frankfurt with BMW Motorrad in the BMW Group pavilion.
The bike is previsted on the market in the spring 2002.
