2009 BMW R 1200 GS
The numbers
Where the price sits
Nothing else in the index is the same machine, so there is no honest number to measure this ask against. It is shown on its own instead.
A comparable is the same make, model, year and trim, within 3,999 miles of this odometer and 500 miles of this dealer. Unpriced listings are ignored, this one is excluded, and a dealer posting the same machine twice counts once.

David's Take | 50 Years on Two WheelsThere's something I really appreciate about a BMW GS that's actually been ridden. These motorcycles were built to cover serious distances, explore unfamiliar roads, and take their owners on adventures worth remembering. With 86,991 miles on the odometer, this 2009 R 1200 GS has clearly seen some of those adventures, and I think that's part of its character.After nearly 50 years of riding, I've developed a real appreciation for BMW's boxer-twin motorcycles. The 1,170cc air- and oil-cooled engine has a distinctive feel that's difficult to describe until you've ridden one. There's a mechanical rhythm to it, a broad spread of usable torque, and a relaxed personality that makes covering long distances surprisingly enjoyable. It's not about outright horsepower. It's about having the right kind of power available whenever you need it.What continues to impress me about the GS is how well these big adventure motorcycles handle. BMW's Telelever front suspension helps keep the chassis composed under braking, while the low-mounted boxer engine gives the motorcycle a reassuring sense of balance. Once you're moving, the GS feels much more manageable than its size might suggest.For riding in Colorado, this is an exceptionally versatile motorcycle. It's comfortable on the highway, enjoyable through the mountain curves, and capable of exploring the gravel roads that lead to some of our favorite places. The upright riding position, generous wind protection, and shaft drive make it particularly appealing for riders who enjoy spending an entire day in the saddle.Now, let's talk about the mileage. This BMW has 86,991 miles, and I'm not going to pretend that's a low-mileage motorcycle. At this point in its life, maintenance history and mechanical condition matter far more than a shiny odometer reading. The GS has a well-established reputation as a long-distance machine, but every used motorcycle deserves to be evaluated on its own merits.What I like about a bike like this is the opportunity it represents. Not everyone needs a brand-new adventure motorcycle loaded with the latest technology. Sometimes you simply want a capable, comfortable, proven design that can take you somewhere interesting without spending a fortune.If you've been thinking about getting into adventure riding, or you're an experienced rider who appreciates the character of BMW's air-cooled boxer twins, this GS is worth a look.It's already traveled a lot of miles. Maybe there's another great chapter ahead with you in the saddle.— David GoodmanGeneral Sales Manager | Erico MotorsportsNearly 50 Years on Two Wheels
