BMW Motorrad, the motorcycle division of German automaker BMW, launched the R 1300 GS Adventure earlier this year in January. Though the deliveries were expected to begin in April, there was a delay. Now, the very first unit of this high-end adventure bike has finally been delivered in India, and it comes with a touch of exclusivity. The delivery took place in Pune, Maharashtra, and the pictures have gone viral online.
This first customer-owned R 1300 GSA Trophy edition has been shared by BMW Motorrad Bavaria Motors Pune on their Instagram page. The photos show the new owner receiving the keys while standing on the bike’s footpegs, surrounded by family and friends.
Adding more flair, the bike also sports a VIP registration number ‘0001’, which itself costs a hefty amount.
