BMW R1200 GS Adventure '18 | Taste Test

If there is one motorcycle within the BMW hemisphere, what would it be? Track Junkie may say the S1000 RR, Hipsters may say the R nineT Pure, Retirees may say the K1600 Grand America, but to many Adventure Fans will point out one bike, and that the 'Ultimate Riding Machine:' the R1200 GS Adventure!

As one of BMW's trifecta flagships: S1000-K1600-R1200 (now R1250), this fully-loaded GS Adventure is Globally known as the 'de facto' ADV bike! One year before the debut of the R1250, here I take a look of this cream of the crop of ADV motorcycles!

I have ridden many flagship ADV bikes (Multistrada 1200/1260, CRF1000L Africa Twin, XT1200 Super Tenere, Tiger 1200, & 1290 Super Adventure), also I've ridden other R1200 models (check out on my videos on the Base & Rallye model). My question is what makes the R1200 GS Adventure so special even for a short (less than 1-hour) ride?

Sure it looks very intimidating, huge, and seems to be unrideable. But for my love od Adventure bikes and of course my curiosity; I always look forward to riding this icon.

How will I react? Will it be a terrifying experience? Find out here!
