Thirty years later, BMW is celebrating the anniversary by launching limited edition ‘30 years GS’ versions of the F 650 GS, F 800 GS, R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure.
Changes from the standard models are mainly cosmetic, the most obvious being the white paint and decals that recall the R 80 G/S bikes which competed in numerous Paris-Dakar rallies. Other features include:
- F 650 GS ‘30 Years GS’: Magnesium-coloured cast wheels, hand protectors, engine protector, tinted / higher windshield, white direction indicators and red seat with ‘GS’ stamp at the front.
- F 800 GS ‘30 Years GS’: Hand protectors, aluminium sump guard, tinted windshield, white direction indicators and red seat with ‘GS’ stamp.
- R 1200 GS ‘30 Years GS’: Cross-spoke wheels with black hubs, hand protectors, tinted windshield and red seat with ‘GS’ stamp.
- R 1200 GS Adventure ‘30 Years GS’: Extra-large hand protectors, aluminium engine protection guard and red/black seat with ‘GS’ stamp.
Prices for the bikes will be announced at launch on 19 June.
