BMW GS HISTORY PART 3

The R80 G/S was the first incarnation of what we now call an entire category of "enduro" motorcycles, unveiled for the Paris-Dakar races of the 1980's, but almost immediately becoming the mount of choice for world adventure riders.
Looking forward from 30 years ago, it might have been hard to imagine a dirt-capable bike might end up with 105 horsepower, ABS brakes, electronic suspension alignment and traction control. Yet despite all of these radical, space-age refinements, the adventurous, end-of-the-world spirit of the original GS lives on in the latest GS bikes.
This film is just a small taste of the adventure awaiting you on the BMW GS.

BMW GS DIE LEGENDE:
Besitze meine seit Mitte der 80 er Jahre 135 000 Km ohne jegliches Problem.
Wollte mir ein andere Maschine kaufen, musste feststellen bis heute gibt es keine bessere Alternative.
Werde mich nie von Ihr trennen 😍

What about the venerable KLR?
Not as sexy but a hell of a great durable bike in it's own right.

@osufrdave I saw your comment and thought I had posted it. I've said it many times, "Best bike ever built, period". They can have my 91 bumble beemer when they pry it out of my cold dead hands, R/100/GS, airheads forever. 117K miles and still runnin like a clock. Doged, throwed up wet, treated like shit, ill maintained by a mechanic who hates workin on his own stuff, I love that old bike almost as much as I do my old dog. If you really really have to get there, ride a BMW.
