offroad legend

The first of September 1980, in Avignon (a southern French city), a new type of bike is born. The first big trail bike is on the market. It is the G/S, where G is for Gelände ("offroad" in German motorcycle vocabulary) and S for Strasse ("street" in German).

This bike, with a mono arm rear suspension called monolever, is the result of the numerous years of experience of the BMW enginers.
