The BMW R1150GS and R1150GS Adventure are motorcycles that were manufactured by BMW Motorrad between 1999 and 2005. The R1150GS models are part of the BMW GS family of dual-sport adventure motorcycles that have been produced from 1981 to the present date.
The standard R1150GS model was produced from 1999 to 2004, when it was replaced by the more powerful and lighter R1200GS. The Adventure, which was produced from 2001 to 2005, was replaced by the R1200GS Adventure in 2006.
In late 2002, the optional ABS system was replaced with an electrically servo-assisted (IBS) version. In addition the engines were equipped with twin spark plugs on each cylinder to improve emissions and cure a persistent surging problem that affected many BMW boxer models.
58,023 units of standard R1150GS model were produced, while 17,828 units of the Adventure models were produced.
The R1150GS Adventure featured a number of differences over the standard bike to make it more suitable for overland and adventure travel.[3] These included an optional 33 litre (6.6 imperial gallon) fuel tank, larger screen, single-piece seat, 20 millimetres (0.8 in) taller suspension front and rear, lower first gear and a conventional sixth gear in place of the standard model's overdrive gear.
Common options on both models were heated handgrips and ABS brakes.
