What protections are factory-installed on the BMW R1250GS Adventure?

The BMW R 1250 GS Adventure motorcycle is designed for both asphalt and off-road use. It comes equipped with various protections straight from the factory, making it ready to accompany you on extreme adventures. This is one of the key features that distinguishes it from the classic R 1250 GS.

Here is a list of protective accessories that come factory-installed on the BMW R 1250 GSA:

• Engine guards and tank guards: Equipped with these crash bars, the motorcycle is better protected in the event of a fall, particularly at the cylinder and tank level. These stainless steel bars are ideal for enduro but also for city use, as they protect the critical parts of your motorcycle.
• An engine guard: Located under the motorcycle, this protects against debris such as stones and prevents damage to your engine.
• Handguards: The motorcycle comes pre-equipped with plastic protections that shield you from debris while riding and from wind and bad weather. Handguards also protect your levers in case of a fall.
• Radiator protection grilles: These grilles prevent external elements from entering the motorcycle's radiator.

All these components are installed on the motorcycle when first ordered from BMW Motorrad, making it a true GS Adventure model, primarily designed for enduro use.
