BMW R1200GS Supermoto by Panda Moto

.  

This BMW R1200GS is modified by Panda Moto a French dealer into the shape of supermoto. This could be an example too for BMW’s transformation bikes from adventure to supermoto styled bikes. BMW is reported to make a supermoto styled bike to add its naked and adventure bikes. In this case, Panda Moto has showed that adventure bikes aren’t just for touring - it is good for thrashing too.

Panda Moto’s BMW R1200GS Supermoto features BMW’s blue, red and white liveried WSB and endurance race bikes. A set of 17” BMW performance wheels wearing race tyres are part of its important modification. Panda Moto feels to retune the engine too. The engine now has high-compression pistons and a longer stroke. Following this, there are a full exhaust system and fuel injection setup. As the result, the BMW R1200GS Supermoto could be the hottest supermoto in the street.
