BMW launches “30 year” GS range

[Whealie]

BMW Motorrad is launching a limited edition GS range to celebrate 30 years of the “Gelande-Strasse” models.

The range will cover the BMW R1200 GS, the R 200 GS Adventure, the F800 GS and the F650 GS.

The special edition “30 Years GS” models will come in 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.



It was back in the autumn of 1980 that BMW Motorrad unveiled the R 80 G/S. BMW claims it “pioneered the adventure Motorcycling genre of on-road, touring and off-road qualities, without the slightest compromise in everyday use.

“It was a brand new concept, the first true Adventure Sport motorcycle,” BMW said.

As well as retro colour scheme, each “30 Years GS” model has a range of additional features and equipment.
