Technical Overview
2022 Bmw R 1250 GS Edition 40 Year GS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2022 Bmw R 1250 GS Edition 40 Year GS motorcycle, Bmw features a purpose-built liquid-cooled engine configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 143 Nm (105.5 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 102.5 x 76.0 mm (4.0 x 3.0 inches) with a 12.5:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 850 mm (33.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,514 mm (59.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19.68-liter (5.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.75 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 414 km (257 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 193 km/h (120 mph).
