      My first love 😘
      First of all - Looks , OMG it looks pretty good i felt love for this thing, riding this machine is my first time on a adventure trip to leh Ladakh, it felt like smooth buttery ride , with the amazing power on demand the engine revs very fast , some times it feels jerky during gear shifts. But considering that might be a issue on my unit , Overall it's an fantastic package 😁 do get an hands on experience of minimum 100km and you will fell the words ... Rest assured performance is top notch 👍🏻 😉💯

      Styling BMW
      With identical styling to its BMW R1200GS predecessor and its chassis left untouched, not a lot seems to have changed with the R1250GS at first glance.

      Love This Bike
      Best in this segment. Power delivery is phenomenally exceptional and you can feel the torque on the ground as you rev at higher RPM. Love this bike.
