The BMW R 1250 GS has been, and continues to be, one of the most popular adventure bikes in the world. Granted, the GS line has a significant head start over most of its competition—but it’s also incredibly good at what it does. Whether you regularly ride to adventure, or you just want to look like you do, the R 1250 GS is there for you.
Still, if there’s one thing that even the most ardent GS fans might categorize as a negative about this bike, it could be the simple fact that it’s big and heavy. It might carry its weight exceptionally well thanks to clever engineering—but the fact remains. As a result, weight may be a significant consideration if you’re thinking about any type of modifications to your beloved GS—and that’s one place where Akrapovič shines.
