When I get up in the morning, I have two choices of how I go about my day and the places I go- the direct way, or the life enriching way… otherwise known as the long way if you ask my girlfriend. To me, it’s always been about the journey. And when you’re up for a journey and you’re aiming for the long way round, no better bike to choose than the BMW R1150GS. The bike that started it for so many. If it’s good enough for Obi-Wan Kenobi, it’s good enough for any of you muggles. This prime example of an R 1150 GS is barely broken in if you ask any BMW enthusiast. It’s got a top box, side bags, hand guards, and protection bars for the cylinders that stick out the wrong direction. Beyond that what do you need? It’s freshly fitted with brand new Shinko 804/805 tires and is ready for any onroad or off-road, and everything in between. This bike has been loved by its previous owner and is ready for the next adventure.

The R1150GS is an icon of the adventure touring world, blending a torquey 1130cc boxer twin with long-travel suspension and trademark BMW durability. Cycle World hailed it as “the bike that defined the modern adventure category,” while MCN praised its mile-eating comfort and rugged off-road chops. Best suited for riders chasing long-distance travel, gravel road exploring, or anyone wanting one bike that can confidently handle both pavement and dirt.
