BMW R1200GS Video

April was a significant month for BMW Motorrad – it became the Bavarian motorcycle company’s most successful month in history.

BMW attributes much of this success to its main seller – the R1200GS. The adventure tourer was redesigned for 2013 with a semi-water cooled engine, and was quickly in high demand.

BMW wants many to know that the bike can cater to riders of all sizes. To highlight that it offers various seat heights on its R1200GS, BMW recently released the above video, which is a hilarious take on the variable heights the GS is capable of.
