Which BMW motorcycle is referred to as the 'Water Bird'?
1 Answers
BMW 'Water Bird' is a model within the BMW motorcycle lineup. In the BMW motorcycle family, the standard R1200GS and the enhanced R1200GS ADV are two versions of the same model type, sharing the same frame and engine. Most domestic riders refer to these two motorcycles as the 'Water Bird' and the 'ADV'. There are differences between the Water Bird and the ADV in terms of the windshield, handlebars, suspension system, seat, and spoke wheels. Engine guards, tank guards, and engine side panels are standard equipment on the ADV, while the Water Bird does not come with these configurations. If needed, engine guards and side panels can be added through aftermarket modifications.
