The legendary GS (it was the catalyst of the whole adventure bike class back in 1980 and has become BMW’s best-selling bike world-wide)
Almost as soon as the G/S was launched it received a great push with Frenchman Hubert Auriol winning the 1981 Paris-Dakar rally on a race prepared version. Auriol and BMW repeated this feat again in 1983 on a 870cc G/S and finishing second the following year behind team mate and three times world motocross champion Gaston Rahier.
