| BMW's profilation of this bike |
| The versatility and sheer performance of the GS is partly due to the famous boxer engine which is at the heart of the awesome machine. Now updated with double over head cams, the motorcycle offers more torque at lower revs, improved responses and better acceleration across the rev range, making the bike even better both on and off-road. |
