BMW Motorrad is celebrating 30 years of the iconic ‘Gelande-Strasse’ (on/offroad) range in 2010. Launching the “30 Years GS” limited edition versions of the BMW R 1200 GS, the R 1200 GS Adventure, the F 800 GS and the F 650 GS, BMW Motorrad is paying tribute to the outstanding success and popularity of the GS concept.
Back in the autumn of 1980, BMW Motorrad unveiled the R 80 G/S, a unique motorcycle that pioneered the Adventure Motorcycling genre. Offering the unique combination of on-road, touring and off-road qualities, without the slightest compromise in everyday use, the R 80 G/S paved the way as a brandnew concept, the first true Adventure Sport motorcycle.
The special edition “30 Years GS” models feature the celebrated BMW Motorsports colours of the legendary eighties’ R 80 G/S Rally Raiders that propelled the likes of Hubert Auriol to victories in gruelling Paris-Dakar races, almost three decades ago. As well as the glorious retro colour scheme, each “30 Years GS” model has a range of additional features and equipment.
Highlights include:
New coloured paintwork.
“30 Years GS” model designations.
“GS” stamps.
Additional equipment.
