The New BMW R 1250 GS

The new BMW R 1250 GS pumps up the power to push what’s possible in an adventure bike.

BMW Motorrad for decades has impressed riders with the consistent and powerful flat-twin boxer engines in its GS line. Whether you’re taking a short jaunt, or trekking on an intercontinental road trip, the boxer engine continues to serve riders excellently. BMW Motorrad is taking the boxer engine to new heights in the new 2019 BMW R 1250 GS coming soon to BMW Motorcycles of Riverside. The BMW R 1250 GS will introduce innovative technology into the boxer engine that will squeeze more power, control, torque and efficiency out of the beloved boxer.

The new BMW R 1250 GS engine includes BMW ShiftCam Technology that optimizes engine output based on rev to maximize power, reduce fuel consumption and smooth out acceleration across the bike’s entire power range

There’s a lot to love about the BMW R 1250 GS. Starting with standard connectivity features, the R 1250 GS introduces the Motorrad Multi-Controller, Bluetooth® and a 6.5-inch color display. Safety features are getting a boost, too, thanks in part to the Dynamic Brake Control that controls the throttle for an emergency stop. One thing that can’t be ignored, however, is the brand-new BMW ShiftCam technology new on the BMW R 1250 GS available in Riverside. BMW ShiftCam adjusts valve timing and stroke to provide the perfect level of power output based on the amount of throttle. This means you’ll have tight, steady control for low-speed maneuvering while not compromising power on those full-bore runs down straight asphalt.

This marks the first time BMW ShiftCam technology has been used on a production BMW Motorrad bike, which gives you even more reason to come test ride the BMW R 1250 GS at our Riverside, CA, dealership near Corona and Moreno Valley. The responsive power output provided by the BMW ShiftCam is something you’ll have to experience for yourself to believe.

BMW ShiftCam allows asynchronous valve intake opening to provide a fresh fuel mixture and increase combustion efficiency. Additionally, the camshaft drive is now handled by a toothed chain as opposed to a roller chain, twin-jet injection valves and a new exhaust system also have been added.

Standard riding modes ASC and Hill Start Control give riders control.

Riders can choose between two riding modes on the BMW R 1250 GS to suit their needs and preferences. Automatic Stability Control provides the best traction to increase rider safety. Hill Start Control is to be used for easy set-off maneuvering on slopes.

Opt for additional riding modes with Riding Modes Pro: Dynamic Traction Control, ABS Pro, Hill Start Control Pro and Dynamic Brake Assistant

When you test ride the BMW R 1250 GS for sale at BMW Motorcycles of Riverside near Fontana, you’ll be eager to try out Riding Modes Pro. These additional ride modes bring a huge swath of riding customizability to the R 1250 GS. Riding Mode Pro includes the following pro riding modes: Dynamic, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Dynamic Pro, Enduro, Enduro Pro, ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake Control (DBC). DTC is useful in banking scenarios to provide safer acceleration. ABS Pro provides more control and safety when braking, even when banking. Dynamic Brake Control prevents unintentional acceleration during difficult braking.

2019 BMW R 1250 GS adds standard LED headlamp

To increase longevity and visibility, the front headlamp of the R 1250 GS now uses LED standard. Add an LED daytime riding light as an option.

New connectivity features include 6.5-inch full-color TFT screen

The R 1250 GS comes complete with a new suite of connectivity features that put technology and information at a rider’s fingertips without compromising focus or overcomplicating things. Centered around the standard BMW Motorrad Multi Controller, a variety of infotainment options can be accessed while on a trek, so you can stay in the loop with family and keep yourself entertained with tunes.

Add on the Intelligent Emergency Call feature

It’s an unfortunate fact of life that accidents can happen. That’s why BMW engineers have added the Intelligent Emergency Call option to the BMW R 1250 GS. This feature will automatically alert emergency services in the event of a crash to make sure medical response is on the scene as quickly as possible.
