Trevore Franklin, 01 April 2011 17:41

Limited edition bikes are like truffles: you wonder what all the fuss is about, especially for the extra outlay involved in buying them. So, when BMW introduces a limited edition R1200GS, you feel justified in saying: "So what?" The standard R1200GS, with no thrills or frills, costs £10,550.
