The all new R1250GS is here! Today I put it through its paces on the iconic yet brutal roads of the snowy mountains.

There are a few key differences between the old R1200 and the new machine. The biggest standout being the step cam engine and obviously a slight increase in capacity.

The step cam effectively changes the cam timing allowing for an incredible top end increase in torque and power over the 1200 and adds a whole new dimension to the on road section of adventure riding for the new GS.

Look out for the full review in an upcoming issue of AMCN magazine and at www.amcn.com.au
