BMW unveils Ultimate Edition of R 1250 GS

BMW have unveiled an Ultimate Edition of the R 1250 GS in Italy.

The BMW R 1250 GS Ultimate Edition was officially unveiled in Italy last week, along with the announcement that only 2,100 units will be made available.

Built on the base of the triple black GS, various packages both new and existing have been applied to the Ultimate Edition.

On the surface level, existing aesthetic packages Shadow I/II are available, including billet aluminum elements in exclusive Option 719 finishes.

The Dynamic package adds Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment, BMW’s semi-active suspension. There’s also pro riding modes with adjustable parameters and the shift assist system.

The touring and comfort packages add cruise control, hand guards, heated grips, side attachments for panniers, and a keyless system.

Beyond these packages, BMW also adds supplementary LED lighting, side protection bars for the engine, a titanium Akrapovič exhaust terminal with a carbon end cap, and special Ultimate Edition badges.

Alessandro Salimbreni, BMW Motorrad Italy’s general manager, said: “Ultimate means Definitive and that’s what inspired the design of this bike. The Triple Black style brings out the strong character and sporting qualities of the BMW R 1250 GS. The Shadow I and Shadow II aesthetic packages make the combination of the bike and accessories even more precious. The hand-crafted components in anodized aluminum reveal a passion for detail and create exclusive value. The Option 719 branding underlines the appeal and quality of the bike. The Ultimate Edition is the bike for everyone who wants to own an exclusive piece of BMW Motorrad history.”

The recommended retail price is 26,900 euros, or approximately £23,807. This includes costs of registration, pre-delivery, first service, 4-year BMW Motorad BEST4 warranty, and 5 years roadside assistance.
