The GS 1200 SS is a full modern bike, although in some details the GS 1200 SS is still old-fashioned. For example, the speed and the rev counter were wire-connected instead of electric, like in many other modern bikes. Still, the dry mass of the bike was only 210 kg (462 lbs), making the bike go really fast with its 100 hp (74.6 Kw) engine.
