BMW’s largest adventure motorcycle, the R 1250 GS Adventure, is new for 2019 with a slew of updates and a new 1,254cc twin-cylinder engine with variable camshaft control called Shiftcam. The increase in power from the previous model has been touted by BMW as nothing short of massive, so how massive is it?
