Bmw R 1150 Gs

The Bmw R 1150 Gs has a top speed of 200 km/h, produces 85 hp and weighs 229 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

A BMW R 1150 GS foi introduzida em 1999 como sucessora da R 1100 GS, com um motor duplo boxer maior de 1130cc refrigerado a ar/óleo e o sistema de suspensão Telelever/Paralever da BMW. Ela rapidamente se tornou uma das motocicletas de turismo de aventura mais populares do mundo, consolidando a linhagem GS como referência para o segmento. A produção durou até 2004 e ganhou ainda mais fama como um capaz viajante de longa distância usado em várias expedições ao redor do mundo.

O que os compradores devem saber

⚙️

Watch the Final Drive

The rear final drive (bevel drive) is a known weak point — inspect for oil leaks and listen for whining noises, as rebuilds can cost $500–$1,000+. Always check service history for this specific component.

🏍️

Proven Engine Longevity

The 1,130cc air/oil-cooled boxer engine is legendary for durability, with many bikes exceeding 100,000 miles when properly maintained. It's considered one of BMW's most reliable powerplants of the era.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The R 1150 GS holds its value well due to its cult adventure-touring status and loyal owner community. Low-mileage, well-maintained examples remain in steady demand even 20+ years after production.

"A bicicleta de aventura que realmente inventou a categoria."

Eu percorri 40.000 km em um desses em três continentes e o R1150GS ainda conquista sua reputação da maneira mais difícil — por meio de pura competência. O front-end do Telelever é realmente estranho na primeira semana, então você percebe que pode frear profundamente nas curvas sem que os garfos mergulhem e nunca mais quer voltar. Esse boxer de 1130cc apresenta uma curva de torque rápida e acessível que funciona perfeitamente a partir de 2.000 rpm, o que é extremamente importante quando você está carregado com bagagem em uma estrada de cascalho incompleta em Marrocos, em altitude. Mas os pontos fracos são reais: a caixa de câmbio é agrícola, os falsos neutros entre a primeira e a segunda são um rito de passagem, a cadeirinha se torna um dispositivo de tortura medieval após 200 km e, com 229 kg de umidade, ela o prenderá no chão se você a derrubar em uma encosta — e você a derrubará.

Prós

+A suspensão Telelever inspira confiança genuína
+A curva de torque é infinitamente tolerante
+Registro de confiabilidade de longa distância à prova de balas
+Paralever elimina lindamente o agachamento traseiro
+Grande disponibilidade de peças e pós-venda

Contras

Caixa de câmbio desajeitada, falsos neutros comuns
Assento de estoque punindo além de 200 km
Pesado quando cai fora da estrada
Frenagem medíocre em condições úmidas pré-ABS
Melhor para: Pilotos sérios de sobrepouso de longa distância Ignore se: Você pilota uma pista única, técnica e apertada.

"The original adventure benchmark still earns its reputation today."

$3,500-$7,500 used

The R1150GS is the adventure bike that invented the template everyone else still copies. Buy one used and you're getting a genuinely capable machine that'll haul you across continents without drama. The 1150 Boxer is a torque monster low down, pulls cleanly from 2,000rpm, and that characteristic cylinder-head-in-your-boots feel never gets old. Oilhead engines are tough as nails if they've been serviced properly — check the valve clearances have been done every 6,000 miles, because neglected ones get noisy fast. The main thing to watch on used examples is the Paralever rear suspension linkage and final drive — they're not cheap to rebuild. Also check the throttle bodies sync properly; flat spots mid-range usually mean they're out. ABS pump failures are common on high-mileage bikes and genuine BMW parts aren't cheap. Wet splines on the driveshaft need regular greasing — most owners forget this entirely. Get a good one though, and you'll have a motorcycle that rewards experienced riders without ever punishing them. It's heavy at 229kg wet, but that weight disappears once you're moving.
