BMW Unveils R 12 G/S Competition Bike for the 2026 GS Trophy

Even calling it production-bike-based, it's probably a pretty significant special build, so I'd take that description as reference only.

A competition machine based on a heritage model—that gap actually makes it look cooler.

I hear Romania's terrain is on the brutal side for a host location, so the equipment's durability should really get tested.

Being based on the air-cooled boxer probably gives it a different character from the current water-cooled GS as a competition machine.

Each country's team competing on identical equipment is exactly what makes the GS Trophy interesting.
