However, the main points are the weight saving measures such as carbon fibre bodywork, wheels, frame, swingarm besides magnesium and titanium bits in the engine that helps the bike to weigh only 152.2 kg, dry. That in turn results in a 1.54 hp/kg power-to-weight ratio. Fire-breathing stuff, for sure. read more ⟶

With a liquid-cooled motor, trick ‘ShiftCam’ tech and a veritable spaghetti of electronic wiring and wizardry, the R1250GS is light years ahead of its ancestors. And speaking from experience, it’s a blast to ride too—with 134 hp and 143 Nm on tap.
