Free luggage with the BMW R1200GS

Buy a new GS between 1 June and 30 September 2010 and you’ll get free panniers worth up to £665.  

The incentive is to celebrate the GS’s 30th anniversary and applies to GS, GS Adventure and GS Anniversary models. Standard GS buyers get a set of Vario Panniers worth £506.57, GS Adventure and Anniversary buyers get Aluminium Panniers worth £665.45.    

More info from BMW: “The Vario Panniers are a sleek, urban-styled storage solution which can expand from 50-litre capacity to 68 by sliding a bar when extra room is needed. When the trip is over, slide the bar back and the width of both panniers is reduced by 120mm, making urban riding even easier.

“The Aluminium Panniers offered with the GS Adventure are hand-built to a very high standard to match the rugged, tough nature of the bike. With a total of 82 litres of storage, these impressive panniers are strong enough to be used as a seat when you’re away from the trappings of civilisation.

“They also feature stainless-steel lashing eyelets allowing lighter items to be secured to the top.”
