BMW Motorrad is celebrating 30 years of its Gelande-Strasse (GS) line with four special edition models.

The GS lineup (Gelande-Strasse translates as on-/off-road) was first unveiled in 1980 with the R80 G/S, combining on-road, touring and off-road qualities.

The 30 Years GS line includes special edition versions of the BMW R1200 GS, the R1200 GS Adventure, the F800 GS and the F650 GS. Each special edition model features the BMW Motorsports colors of the R80 G/S Rally Raiders that found success in the Paris-Dakar Rally during the 80s.
