    1250gs range

    So am idly thinking about a 1200gs or a 1250 gs. I am 6 3 so i like a big roomy bike. I also like backroads. Anyway main reason for posting is i also like a bike that can do at least 300km on a tank...picton to chchc is my theoretical yardstick (336km)
    So what range do kiwibikers get?

    You're going to need to narrow down what you're after...

    R1200GS (all 20L fuel tanks)
    2004-2009 - hex head
    2010-2012 - cam head (double over head cam, more power at higher revs)
    2013-2018 - wet head (water cooled)

    R1250GS
    2019-2023 - shift head (variable valves)

    R1200GSA
    2004-2009 - hex head (33L)
    2010-2013 - cam head (33L)
    2014-2018 - wet head (30L)

    R1250GSA
    2019-2024 - shift head (30L)

    On the GSAs at least, when you've got 30L+ of fuel, your range can vary by more than 100km, depending on how you ride it.

    My 2007 R1200GSA holds 38 litres and has a range of over 700km, if I ride at about the open road speed limit

    although the GSA would surely meet my requiremnts for fuel range I am not interetsed in a GSA.
    Lets limit in then to a 1250 gs or the latest generation of 1200 GS's.

    My friend easily goes 400 km on his GS 1250. He is a fairly careful rider though.
