Overview

The profiles shown here for the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure cover model years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Its naturally aspirated 1,254 cm³ four-stroke boxer produces 134 hp (100 kW) and 143 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm; wet weight is 268 kg.

The 890 mm seat and 268 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering and getting both feet down more demanding, particularly for shorter riders. The 30 L tank and fuel consumption of 4.8 L/100 km give about 625 km of range. Its 210 mm front and 220 mm rear suspension travel help absorb uneven ground, and the rear spring preload and rebound damping adjust at handwheels.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Shaft final drive

    The shaft drive needs no chain cleaning or adjustment.

  • Adjustable rear suspension

    Handwheel adjustment for spring preload and rebound damping lets riders tune the rear suspension without tools.

  • ABS braking

    ABS is fitted to both the front and rear brakes.

Things to consider

  • Heavy at low speeds

    At 268 kg wet, it takes more effort to maneuver in tight spaces or when stationary.

  • Tall seat

    The 890 mm seat height can make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down.
