As a very long time GS owner, I was put off by the new H2O Boxer engines because it was a submission to the enviable pressures of emissions and “NEW” model syndrome which the snob in me looks down upon. Admitting to even riding one was dishonoring an old friend, but thinking back, I had the same conversation when the /7’s came out and again with the R1100’s. The R1200 was so good and so similar I just saw it as the best it could be. Water Cooled was vilified. Until I rode one to BC. It is the same bike, but just better at what it does. The electronic menu solves all of the issues I did not know existed until I tried them out on the new bike. The GPS interface in the left bar is worth the price of admission. Cruise… I can hear it now, but when your right wrist, arm and elbow start to suffer from years of being dropped upon and abused, it is a huge relief on long sloughs on the freeway or endless straight roads. The rest of that stuff is pretty great I am sure, but being old and slow to change, having all of those MODE’s to choose from is a waste to me. Thankfully I did not notice anything interfering with the throttle other than what I asked for. The ESA is outstanding. Changing the dampening on the fly becomes second nature and adjusting the preload before taking off makes correcting the suspension for load simple. People forget how the bike’s handling changes dramatically when the attack angle of the front end is changed when the back of the bike is lowered with added weight. It is not just about comfort, it is about maintaining desirable and predictable handling characteristics. This 2013 R1200 GS came equipped with the Premium Plus Package including Comfort Package, Heated Grips TPM (Tire Pressure Monitor), Hand Protection, Saddle Bag Mounts, Vario Bags and Tail Trunk, Dynamic Package, Enduro ASC and Riding Modes, Dynamic ESA, LED Headlight, On Board Computer Pro, GPS and Cruise Control. The motorcycle was purchased new at Hansen’s BMW and serviced faithfully from day one. Unfortunately those records were burned up when Hansen’s BMW burned several years ago. The bike was just seen by Precision Motorrad and a new rear tire installed. Miles are 32,979 and the VIN# is WB10A1105DZ183881. The selling price is $8,495.
