Love every bit, every improvement. After 40 year riding, 25 on BMW my money is gone. But I still enjoy the GS-feeling.
I love the off-road tweaks that put the Rallye in the middle ground between the standard GS and the GS Adventure. And I love the looks of it overall. Great styling.

Thanks so much for the comment. :)
Tell me you've had the chance to test ride the Rallye?
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,

Well done BMW Motorrad.
would buy it soon :) love this bike
Nice bike !
It's a shame that they don't make this for small riders :(
Hi Giovanni, in case of the R 1200 GS the current model was launched in 2013 and got an modification today. We will definitely not see another facelift in a couple of months. :)
Cheers

BMW Motorrad The question on current owners lips is "Have you fixed the rear brake problem most of us are experiencing?"
What rear brake problem?
Kryten L it's a known issue with the new R1200gs, the rear break overheats and munches rear pads, the worst part being excessive rear lever trave l. I have had my K50 for three years and my local BMW dealer shrugs it off as a known issue. My rear disc,master cylinder and caliper has been replaced under warranty but the problem is still present.
I know it's not just my bike as a friend just bought the all black and he has the same problem.
I am happy to answer any other questions on the bike, I have put 40,000kl up on mine over the last 3 years.
David Mckee Wierd. I had the 2015 and 2016 GS and never had any issues with brakes. I put 20K on each over 36 months I had both bikes.
Hi, I owned 19 different GS Bikes since 1986 and currently, I wait for the new 1200 GS ADV "white" delivered in January in Munich. Each year I am crossing deserts and mountains in France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Mali and Senegal without any problem. Really good stuff, a little bit heavy with a wonderful electronic to climbe trees!
Excelente, muy bien BMW Motorrad
nice job!!
Alles gut und suuuuper schön! Ich liebe meine 13ner Lc sehr. Hatte noch kein einziges Problem , aber : wann kommt das Modell mit einem stärkeren Motor?????????
A tipp, take a better micro or edit audio for more quality

petitprince97 Ehhhhh.......and better English too please.
Pro tip
i'm digging it!
Very nice bike
Where is this video filmed. Excellent bike ... beautiful location!
Hi there, we filmed in Iceland.
All the best,
Joerg of the BMW Motorrad Team
Hi, noch stärker? Momentan habe wir keine Info über eine Leistungssteigerung der R 1200 GS. Aber die 125 PS sind doch eigentlich schön komfortabel, oder?
Viele Grüße
Jörg vom BMW Motorrad Team
Is the Rallye available in the United States?
Hi there, please contact your local BMW Motorrad dealer in the US. They will be more than happy to assist you and inform you about the launch of the 2017 R 1200 GS Rallye in the US.
Have a good start into this new week
Joerg of the BMW Motorrad Team
Brilliant
Appears to be very front heavy with a bucking action from the rear!
Could it be improper suspension set-up, novice rider or is that huge beast just front heavy???
I'd still love to tool about on one...IF i could reach the ground, lol.
Cheers!
Hi Shay, for me the GS is one of the handiest bikes I've ever ridden. However Byron is skilled and he does things on a GS secure and easy I personally never could do. :)
All the best

Filmed in Croatia?
Hi Antonio, correct.
Have a good one

Hello, anybody know which brand/model clothes the person is wearing from 0:41 - 0:45?
Hi Max, it's the brand new Enduroguard Suit. Here you'll find more: ruclips.net/video/M_m3R_-BtGs/видео.html
All the best
Joerg of the BMW Motorrad Team
Looks very promising!
Dream bike, but in my country is so expensive, 3 times expensive than the original price
nice
Hi, what is the meaning of GS?
Gelände Sport = Sport and Enduro
Gelände Strasse
Javier Prada Gelände/Straße

Ooooo and the brake callipers are "painted" in gold....do they stop better than the last model. What is this Austin Powers?
super premium ^^
The verdict:
Bigger motor making more power and torque than a R1200 GS,
significantly smoother.
It is stronger down low, has it got more midrange and ofcourse the top end is what impresses me the most.
But it sure is creamier than the 1200,didn’t expect that.
Again the engine is mechanically quieter, less lumpy arguably.
The combustion strokes are more masked than before, you can’t feel the engine on idle throttle.
Quieter exhaust note than the 1200 - deeper growl.
BMW’s Shiftcam is entirely undetectable in use.No surging, no change in engine note.
Same Telelever front end, same Paralever shaft drive, same frame, tank, seat, and same semi-active suspension option
The 1250 doesn’t feel any heavier than the 1200 while its 5kg heavier in specs than the 1200.
Offroad -the smoother low-down performance will make the GS more manageable
The 1250’s brakes are as per the 1200 despite the caliper change on the front end.
No change in its riding position-wide black bars which is a very, very good thing.
I’d say the 1250 is fitter than a 1200 GS off the bottom end less noticeably so in the midrange at part throttle, but significantly more powerful wide open at the top end... so, fitter everywhere.
What you need to to is to Increase trail on R1200GS bikes. Make it at least 107mm! The steering is too nervous. I am R1200GS Adventure 2016 owner.
How many months for a new model ? Maybe in June we'll see a new upgraded version. Bmw is going faster than Samsung with new models. Soon they will classifie the bike for month instead of years.
new model in 2017 July with much more power! So wait a while...
Giovanni Pappalardo I also wait new motor/more power...
My Next bike will be the Rallye :D Eyecandy
Why no new style in Triple Black ?.
Hi William, let's wait and see. As you know a Triple Black version was mostly launched after a bike was on the market for a year or two. Right now, we have no information about a Triple Black and I think this one in the movie looks really cool, but perhaps in the future, we will see the color combination of your wish.
Cheers

This cost 60k SGD in my country,which is around 44k USD..
The rally looks like a pepsi edition because of the color scheme
never occurred to me until I saw your comment...you're right! It does look like a pepsi can on wheels...but I love it anyway
have to do a lot better than stickers and gold calipers to at least get close to the competition...you still have dials for God s sake
Hire me. Let's make perfect bike together.
I hope the gearbox will be improved with the 2017 version. The 2016th is horrible.
I have a lego version of this
+Jacob Reichard
That's awesome! I have two left hands, so takes me a while to build these things, how did you do?
Oh! And have you seen the LEGO's Hover Bike?
Cheers,
Elizabeth of the BMW Motorrad Team
Looks great. Anything other than the styling disaster that was that 2009 (?) gay silver shoulder pads nonsense. The guy responsible for that should be fired.
i wish to high heaven they would do something about that stupid exhaust system.surely BMW could make it symmetrical so that it doesn't look so ugly from behind,and have the option of throwing some soft panniers over the back without having to worry about burning your stuff (on one side!!) gees...
Iceland ,👍
Yeah cuz I want to spend 20 grand on a BMW and then thrash it offroad.
Jason Schauer well the GS is designed to do all those stuffs
Beautiful product, but the presentation was such a shame.
i ride in pumg mobile game
260 kg?...damnnnn :v
complex structure not liked
Könnt ihr nicht einmal ein deutsches Produkt auch in deutscher Sprache anbieten??? Man man man . . . .
I'm sorry but the Rally decals are just butt-ugly. They look like stuff right out of the 1970's. You couldn't do better?
This guy is terrible for a multi national, multi billion dollar company spokesperson. Is it the arrogance or the obliviousness of the company?
Umm this is the worst video I have seen in some time. BMW WTF! I mean really, you think we give a dam about the front mud guard and air intake, seat, stickers and colours. Why not put some neon gaffer tape on the bars and say they are per-foment safety indicators!
What we want to know is how it will handle under specific conditions, and why this model handles better than last years. Ultimate fail video/sale.
Kyle Clarke stfu you whiny bitch. You are not interested? The why tr are you here? Smh.
