It's your planet. Ride it.

True two-wheeled adventurers know that when it comes to epic riding that crosses continents, there's only one choice: the unstoppable, all-conquering R 1200 GS Adventure. And for 2008, the world's most rugged adventure tourer features enhancements that make it even more adept at reaching the unreachable. A five-percent increase in horsepower kicks its engine output to 105 horsepower. Combined with a taller windshield, adjustable seat, extra wide foot pegs and optional ABS, and even the longest days in the saddle are a breeze. An 8.7 fuel tank gives the R 1200 GS Adventure the ability to cover immense areas of territory. And with Enduro ESA (Electronic Suspsension Adjustment) you can customize both front and rear suspension settings for better ground clearance or sport riding conditions with the flick of a switch. No wonder it was Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's choice for their trans-Africa odyssey.
