About the Bmw R 1150 GS
The BMW R 1150 GS is an adventure motorcycle powered by a 1130 cc boxer twin that BMW built from 1999 to 2004. It was the direct predecessor to the legendary R 1200 GS and helped define the adventure-touring segment. It produces 84 hp, features BMW's signature Telelever front suspension, and sits on a characteristically low centre of gravity thanks to the horizontally opposed cylinders. At 242 kg kerb weight it is a substantial machine, but experienced riders appreciate its planted handling on both tarmac and dirt.
The R 1150 GS targets tourers who want to cover long distances in comfort and are prepared to venture off the paved road. The tall riding position provides excellent all-round visibility. Contemporaries included the Honda Africa Twin and Suzuki DR 800 Big. Today it is a sought-after classic with a loyal owner community and widely available spare parts.

What to check before buying
- Check the Telelever front suspension for oil leaks and bearing play; a rebuild is costly but necessary above 80,000 km.
- Inspect the driveshaft housing for oil leaks at the universal joint seal.
- Check the gearbox for sticky shifting; worn selector fork lobes are a known issue at higher mileage.
- Look for corrosion on the exhaust headers and the subframe around the cylinder head bolts.
- Check the ABS module for fault codes; early Integral ABS systems can show sensor faults with heavy use.
