Excellent Performance, brilliant conform and visuals acts as a cherry on top. Top notch quality and fit & finish done by BMW. Beast that can be manageable but brutal when required.

      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.

      Value for money
      Best adventure bike in this price range. It's underrated and somewhat cost less than Transalp. Weight of bike doesn't feel, thanks to its low centre of gravity. If you want a mile muncher with off road capabilities, then go for it! Suspensions are also adjustable with rebound and compression damping. It will be the best bike you will buy.

      It's more than worth
      The bike is much comfortable. It will give Best vibe for adventure bike. It's more worth to buy in india bcz of the Indian roads. I went to ladakh trip like 1200kms and it's so comfortable and also has good mileage. In this price range I think it will be more practical to buy this bike. In this segment the bike's maintenance cost is also not that much.
