The 2018 BMW R 1200 GS TE Exclusive provides a premium and refined experience within the GS range. It boasts the familiar 1170cc boxer engine, delivering 125 hp at 7750 rpm and 125 Nm of torque at 6500 rpm. This provides ample power and responsiveness for a wide range of riding situations. Paired with a smooth six-speed gearbox, the engine offers a comfortable and controlled ride whether you're commuting or touring. The TE Exclusive retains the standard GS seat height of 850mm and a 20-liter fuel tank, balancing accessibility and range. The BMW Motorrad Telelever front suspension ensures stable and predictable handling, while the double disc front brakes with four-piston calipers and ABS provide confident stopping power. The 'Exclusive' trim level typically adds enhanced styling and features. This model is designed for riders who appreciate a blend of performance, comfort, and style. The TE Exclusive offers a more luxurious and refined experience compared to the base GS, with added features and premium finishes. It's a great option for riders who want a versatile motorcycle that can handle both daily commutes and long-distance touring in style.
