2006 BMW R-Series in Reno, NV

If you're not familiar with this bike, let me explain the story. This particular motorcycle was BMW's lowest production bike ever made. There were 354 produced for the Australian Police Department, but at the same time BMW launched the new 2006 R1200GS. Once the Australian Police Dept. heard about this, they cancelled their order for the R1150GSA models and chose the R1200GS instead. Rumor has it, that 150 of these bikes came to the United States and the remaining amount was distributed throughout the rest of the world. Of these 150 bikes in the US, it's unknown the exact number of them that are still around. There are a couple websites out there (EricSYn) if you google them, you'll find them that explain the story of these bikes. I received my information from a BMW employee that I met at the 2013 BMW MOA Rally in Oregon. With that being said, I was informed by the BMW employee, that these bikes were also built better and stronger to take the abuse of the police force during their daily patrols.
