BMW R 1300 R 2025
The BMW R 1300 R is a bike that is defined less by bare numbers than by the feeling it conveys. With 145 Horsepower, 149 Newton meters and 239 kg, it has strong data, but its true strength lies in the overall package: a superior engine, stable riding performance and a mature, relaxed character. It is not an aggressive sports machine, but a roadster for riders who appreciate torque, comfort and presence - and that is precisely where its appeal lies.
Very characterful boxer engine (149 Newton metres of torque)
Confident, stable riding performance
High level of comfort with 810 Millimeter seat height
Versatile transmission with ASA option
High-quality technology and features
High weight (239 kg wet weight) noticeable
More difficult to manoeuvre due to boxer design
Less agile than pure sport naked bikes

BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS drawing on a wealth of experience and expertise, which is evident in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders, offering an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features.

Powerful engine with very sporty responsiveness
Very stable riding performance – yet the bike remains agile and a joy to ride through bends
Hand guards provide good wind protection
With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before
Well-integrated radar cruise control
A wide range of options for ergonomics adjustment
A superbly functioning and discreetly integrated emergency call system
Excellent balance under varying load conditions
Not every desired configuration is possible – in some cases, you have to select unnecessary extras as well
The suspension performs well – but it doesn’t offer truly flawless responsiveness, nor does it have a particularly wide range of adjustment
Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday conditions
For taller riders, the bike feels a little too compact for an adventure bike, particularly from the rear
The side panels are prone to scratches on rough off-road terrain and when worn with heavy-duty boots
Hand guards with integrated indicators are not suitable for off-road use
