BMW Motorrad has published the build specification for the competition bike it created for the International GS Trophy 2026 in Romania (September 13-19), though the bike itself won't be sold. The spec includes Metzeler Karoo 4 tires on an 18-inch rear wheel, an Akrapovič sport muffler, a Rallye cockpit fairing, engine guards, and taller ergonomics, on top of the standard R 12 G/S's 1170cc boxer twin making 109 hp and 85 lb-ft. Building a full replica costs roughly $25,896.

Karoo 4s on an 18-inch rear, plus an Akrapovič can — a build sheet like that is exactly my kind of thing, dirt and mud guy that I am. Keeping the 1170cc boxer at 109 horsepower unchanged is the right call too. Shame they're not selling it outright, though.
