BMW’s best-selling model, the highly versatile 2008 R1200GS, has undergone a general revision for 2008 that goes a lot deeper than slightly refreshed styling. The GS looks as neat and sharp as ever, but on the road it feels a million bucks stronger and much more fun.

The revised front-end geometry and the general upgrading of the chassis make the new GS feel a lot newer than it looks. The front end is new in both the suspension unit and the rake. Steering-head angle is reduced from 27.1 to 25.7 degrees; consequently trail has gone down from 110mm to 101mm and the wheelbase has been reduced .5 inches to 59.3. The new steering geometry is not only more modern and responsive, but also improves weight distribution. A slimmer tank at the junction with the seat moves the rider forward, further improving weight distribution. These changes make the steering more neat, precise and responsive while still feeling solid; despite its tall (34.3-inch) seat height, the new R1200GS is a natural leaner around even very tight corners. It feels surefooted, with great feedback through the grips, and is perfectly neutral and stress-free even when ridden hard.
This teams up beautifully with the more precise, solid and responsive chassis, to make the new GS a great pleasure to ride and a versatile, comfortable bike in the process. But it is the solid throttle response that sets the new R1200GS in a class of its own. The bike produces very good acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds) and surges down the road at a twist of the grip with a vengeance—you can almost hear “Ride of the Valkyries” in your head as you surge forward. Pulling a wheelie is just a matter of yanking the throttle open in any of the first three gears. And it does it all with the class of a great BMW Boxer Twin, which is also part of the fun.
