From XT 500 to GS Adventure: Reduction as a Philosophy

Wunderlich traces its origins back to the 1980s when Erich Wunderlich was exploring the roads on his Yamaha XT 500. At the time, the XT was celebrated as a rugged, honest, and affordable motorcycle—complete with a kickstarter, single-cylinder engine, and no unnecessary frills. Driven by necessity, Wunderlich embarked on his first technical enhancements. His camshaft lubrication kit found over 7,000 buyers and marked the company's inception.

Homage in the Form of "The Tribute"

The new BMW R 1300 GS Adventure was introduced as a bike that stands out with its bold design, achieving strong recognizability because of it. Wunderlich recognized the potential of this model—not least because, like the XT 500 back then, it could redefine an era. The Wunderlich team merged both worlds, creating "The Tribute"—a unique piece with historical echoes.

The Tribute - From Aluminum Tank to Enduro Powerhouse

The Tribute embodies the spirit of the legendary 1976 Yamaha XT 500 1N5—featuring a polished aluminum tank, black side panels, and a scrambler look. Yet beneath the retro aesthetic lies cutting-edge technology: the new BMW R 1300 GS Adventure, complete with all its electronic aids, comfort features, and performance specs, forms the base vehicle. With the credo "Our Ride Goes On," the second generation at Wunderlich ventures boldly into the future. The core values—technical expertise, precision, and pure passion for motorcycles—remain steadfast.
