The stickering points to the fact that this particular BMW R 1200 GS was used for the BMW GS Trophy qualifier earlier onįor the BMW Motorrad Deccan Safari, I was happy to see #711. This beauty was my ride for the Deccan Safari. It can produce insane performance when provoked but that isn't why the GS is loved so much. It's large, extremely spacious and by and large it has an extremely peaceful, agreeable nature. I, in fact, remember this motorcycle as being a bit of an elephant. I know that the snappiness of Mr GS' GS wasn't normal. Now, I have, in fact, ridden both a much older BMW R 1150 GS as well as an R 1200 GS from two generations ago. Is that pretty? The BMW R 1200 GS has immense presence and has this precise, German sense of style And a third part understood why the GS was such an icon. Another part of me was scared of that BMW R 1200 GS Rallye. My stabs at making sense of BMW Motorrad's labyrinth of trims, upgrades and optional bits suggested that I was riding a special motorcycle that was extra tall and snappy on purpose. I had an ultra-brief stint in the saddle of the very motorcycle that Mr GS - Tomm Wolf, the man behind the GS Trophy - used while he was here running the India round of GS Trophy qualifiers. Our first taste of the current BMW R 1200 GS was fleeting and it was scary.
