BMW R 1300 GS Adventure 2025

The BMW R 1300 GS Adventure remains an impressive adventure bike with a powerful transmission, a high level of comfort and superior dynamics. It shines with its agile handling, high-quality Advanced Rider Assistance Systems and first-class ergonomics. Minor weaknesses can be seen in the brakes and electronics in extreme conditions, as well as its high weight. Despite its polarised design, it is a clear choice for experienced riders who appreciate comfort and performance on lengthy tours.
