BMW R1250GS conversion by Hornig
2019-03-26 - an increase in safety, comfort and individuality for the new boxer The R1200GS is the flagship of BMW Motorrad and has been leading the bestseller lists for years. Now the R1250GS presents itself as a successor. The engine has been particularly reworked and can now provide more power thanks to ShiftCam technology. We have given the R1250GS more security in addition to several visual improvements and a variety of amenities.
Safety and protection:To see better what happens behind you: This is ensured by our
mirror extensions. Our
side stand foot enlargement, including heightening guarantees a safe stand even on rough terrains and makes it easier to set up the motorcycle. But even in the case of tipping over, the cardan is well protected by the
cardan crash protectorengine crash bars in combination with the fairing crash bars. The
ABS resin mud guard for the rear and the
fender extender for the front mudguard ensure that splashing water or whirled up stones will leave no damage. The silver
cooler protection as well as the
air intake grid also prevent damages caused by insects or dirt. Thanks to our
Wolo Bad Boy horn you can draw attention to yourself appropriately in road traffic. To remove our black
oil filler plug you need a Torx key which makes the oil filler plug burglar-proof. In order to avoid scratches on the side case lid, we used our
transparent protection foil for Trekker Outback side cases. The black
universal reflection foils increase the visibility of the R1250GS towards other road users at night, being unremarkable during the day and reflecting in a striking silver/white colour in the dark.
Comfort:To ensure optimum wind protection, we mounted a
ZTechnik windshield, which provides extraordinary aerodynamics thanks to its special shape. The
seat is particularly important on longer tours, which is why we have modified respectively
upholstered it in order to get more sitting comfort. This will help you to reach your destination in a more relaxed way. Our
handlebar risers, which raise the handlebars by 40 mm, also contribute to a comfortable seating position. To make brake and shifting operations simpler, we installed both
brake and shift lever extensions and our adjustable
Tector brake and shift levers in red. A perfect view of the navigation device's display can be expected from our
GPS mount. Of course, you need enough storage space on tour. Here, the black
Trekker Outback side cases with the corresponding
mounting kit are a very good solution, as well as the
top case Trekker Outback with 42 litres of capacity, which can for example store one helmet. There is also plenty of storage space in the 25 litre
tank bag. The
license plate bracket, made of rust-free stainless steel, can be varied in width and is flexible to use for this reason.
Individual design:Of course you need some eye-catchers to individually complete the look of our R1250GS. On the one hand there are the
red rim stripes, which harmonize perfectly with the
red painted "R1250GS" embossing on the side panels. On the other hand, the eyes are immediately drawn to the
decorative sticker set in red on the beak and tank, which puts particular emphasis on these parts. Further optical highlights are the
stainless steel end weights and the contrasting
black rear wheel centre cover. Finally, the various
aluminium covers on the frame, the rear frame or the engine mounting, the suspension mounting, the swing arm pivot and the foot brake fluid reservoir as well as on the fork tube ensure a successful finish.
