BMW R 1250 GS
The flagship of the fleet: a 1,254 cc boxer, 136 hp and two-up comfort that doesn't wear thin on the long crossings.
The boxer, and nothing left to rush
The biggest machine in the fleet, and the only boxer. The 1,254 cc with variable valve timing give torque everywhere: you overtake a truck on a climb of the Cerro de la Muerte without dropping a gear, and you hold 120 for hours without either the engine or the rider noticing. This is the bike for the long crossings (Nicaragua, Panamá) and for riding two-up with luggage. Her 249 kg disappear once rolling but make themselves felt at a standstill and on greasy ground: on committed dirt, an F 800 GS will be more at ease. Riding modes, ABS Pro and a colour TFT screen as standard.
