Försäljningsframgången för BMW R1200 GS fortsätter. För att fira denna framgång har BMW har beslutat att skapa specialversionen R1200GS Rallye.

Modellen ska påminna om BMW:s forna framgångar i det afrikanska maratonloppet, Dakar-rallyt. Färgen är Alpinweiss-vit pastell, kombinerat med den klassiskt trefärgade BMWMotorrad Motorsport-designen.

Andra specialdetaljer är svart framgaffel, motor, chassi och hjul.

Lanseringen är planerad till januari 2012 och GS Rallye kommer att erbjudas en mycket intressant serie av utrustning för komfort och säkerhet, såsom exempelvis uppvärmda handtag, handtagsskydd och elektroniska fjädring justering av ESA.

Här följer BMW:s pressmeddelande för modellen:

Special model BMW R 1200 GS Rallye.

Extended tours, long distance travels, and even journeys to the remote places of our planet run like a thread through the history of BMW GS, just like spectacular adventure rallies and magnificent sporting success. All of this now finds the ultimate testimony in the special model R 1200 GS Rallye from BMW Motorrad.

Body parts in solid Alpine white, graphics in the legendary BMW Motorrad Motorsports colours, and fork and engine in black lend the 
R 1200 GS Rallye its especially sporting, adventurous character. The Paralever swingarm in Asphalt grey metallic, cylinder head covers in 
Granite grey metallic, and an all chrome exhaust system provide a powerful contrast of engineering. A particular eyecatcher is presented by the rear frame with Magma red paintwork.

The sporting look of the 81 kW / 100 hp travel enduro is underscored by the seat in black and white. Cross spoke wheels, heated grips, hand protectors in white, case holder, onboard computer, and the electronic suspension adjustment Enduro ESA make this extraordinary GS ideal for a very wide range of applications.

The price in Germany is €14,950.00 incl 19% VAT, and the launch is scheduled for January 2012.
