Live cell therapy for the GS

Wunderlich sells a retro conversion kit for the R 120 G/S

Back to the roots. This motto fits the conversion kit for the R 120 G/S better than probably any other. The kit takes it back to the early days of the GS success story, when the GS was still the G/S. At least, when it comes to the look; the new G/S of course still remains state of the art on a technical level. On the contrary, the weight loss of 6.4 kg compared to the original makes it even easier to handle and more agile.

This live cell therapy was developed by the former Paris-Dakar Rally participant, Fabio Marcaccini. Working in Riccione on the Adriatic, together with his company, Unit, he normally deals with special solutions and prototypes, and now presents this trendy conversion kit as a reference for its design possibilities.

And here's the really special highlight: since the conversion can be completely reversed again in next to no time, it's like the owner has two motorcycles in their garage.

For Intermot 2012, we signed an exclusive sales agreement with Unit-Garage. An ideal addition to our extensive BMW accessories range and our current development work. After all, ever since the development of our WR2, a robust naked enduro based on the R 1200 GS, we have amassed a wealth of experience in building on daring big enduros. A weight loss of 20 kg, a 21-inch front wheel conversion, a snappy performance increase and much more are all possible.

Now in combination with the visually perfect R 120 G/S conversion, this easily has the potential to become the dream motorcycle of many GS enthusiasts.

All of our conversion kits and options are of course TUV-tested and approved for road use.

The individual G/S

Whether it's the classic red or the robust black seat, or a white or black tail: you have the choice to put together your own individual G/S. Then there are also all kinds of cockpit trims that are precision based on the classic role models from the Paris-Dakar Rally or the original options from the 2V GS series. And we've produced perfectly fitted rack adapters so you can keep using your original case set or upgrade to a higher quality case set from Hepco & Becker.

Worth the price

We were able to agree a very attractive overall price with Unit-Garage when it came to totting up the components and development costs. If we added up the individual components at standard market prices, we'd soon hit a total of over 5000 euros. Once again, we'd like to thank Fabio Marcaccini from Unit-Garage for the dedication and responsiveness he has shown to the riders and future riders of the R 120 G/S.
