Hansen’s BMW of Medford sold this 2018 R1200GS Adventure LS new to one of the most informed enthusiasts I have had the opportunity to meet. When I say that, it is not in jest. The owner of this bike scoured the internet long and hard before making the right choices to make this the perfect platform for his wild adventures to come. A budget was not one of the items he prioritized.

This 2018 GS Adventure Low Suspension model was factory designed to allow all of the flexibility of the GS to owners who needed that off road capacity without the standard seat height of the GS’s. This was not just done by swapping out the front and rear shocks, it included a specific center and side stand and correct steering geometry that some aftermarket spring systems do not match. Factory designed! And when you are carrying your gear and 7.9 gallons of fuel, that factory designed stability is a must.

Entire magazines are devoted to the wonders of the water cooled bikes, more power, better shifting, better electronics, better handling, all of the benefits of a complete redesign the R1200GS line of bikes after the twin cam version built to 2013. I cannot compete with their knowledge and if you are looking at this bike, you are probably more aware of why it will make such a great motorcycle. What I would want to take notice of is the Thumb Wheel on the left bar that is connected to the GPS and Cruise Control. Both of these items are game changers on GS’s and worth any other reservations about moving from the Oil Heads.

And on to our bike. I have never seen a bike so decked out. Never. It even has Heated Seats! The list, as far as I can see is as follows;

Russell Day Long Heated Seats (Front heat is adjustable)
Factory Hard Bags and Trunk
Factory GPS
Touratech Head Light Guard
Touratech Luggage Carrier Mounted Tool Box
LED Strobing License Plate Brake Light
Cylinder Head Guards
Mudsling Spring Cover
Massive Driver’s Foot Pegs
Side Stand Foot
Rear Brake Reservoir Guard
Wind Deflector Winglets
Taller Windscreen
Double Take Adjustable Mirrors
ROX Anti-Vibration Adjustable Handlebar Riser
AltRider Skid Plate
MachineartMoto ADVanceGuard Hand Guards
Techspec Pannier and Tank Protector
Loud and Obnoxious Replacement Horn

I missed something, I am sure. There is just so much, what else could you add? Ah, fuel and a direction to go. Easy. The bike presents as almost unmarked and thousands less than buying a comparable new model and then decking it out.
