The BMW R1250GS is a motorcycle manufactured in Berlin, Germany by BMW Motorrad, part of the BMW group. It is one of the BMW GS family of dual sport motorcycles. It has a 1,254 cc (76.5 cu in), two-cylinder boxer engine with four valves per cylinder and variable valve timing (VVT).
History
In September 2018, Kevin Cameron wrote that a "shift cam" VVT system was destined for a 2019 model year R1250GS, and other media reported the technology was to be adopted on all the R series boxer motors. In September 2018, BMW confirmed the 2019 R1250GS and sibling R1250RT would have VVT.
Chassis
Wet weight is up from the predecessor to 249 kg (549 lb).
Engine
The engine displaces 1,254 cc (76.5 cu in) with 102.5 mm (4.04 inches) mm bore × 76 mm (3.0 inches) stroke. The intake camshafts have two cam lobes per valve that can be switched within one cam revolution between partial-throttle and open-throttle cam profiles. Power and torque claimed by BMW are higher than the predecessor model at 134 hp (100 kW) at 7,750 rpm and 105.5 lb⋅ft (143.0 N⋅m) at 6,250 rpm, with 4% better fuel economy.
