The 2012 BMW R 1200 GS Rallye is not as extreme because of those two bikes; the idea merely pays homage as being a special version of the R 1200 GS. BMW offers finally had to tinker with all the good thing it has going, upgrading the big boy GS to a water-cooled electrical power plant for the 2012 model yr.
This new special product comes in Alpine White system with Magma Red frame. The particular legendary Dakar winning looks are generally rounded off by the cyndrical tube head covers in Marble Grey metallic and the light weight aluminum die-cast single-sided swing arm in Concrete Grey metallic. Contrast is supplied by the engine finished inside black as well as the seat inside black/off-white with red inlaid appears.
The Rallye version is like the particular cream topping of the GS plan and might just be the last 1200cc air-cooled GS we shall see, but in a year as well as two we’ll know for sure.
A very important factor is for sure, though : the Rallye version looks stunning and different from the masses of greyish GS motorcycles already out there. Enduro ESA and also heated grips included in the package deal is a bonus, but you are obviously paying for it in a premium in the standard R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. Overall, the R 1200 GS Rallye is a fitting probable last air-cooled GS.
