Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1300 RS 2026

BMW R 1300 RS 2026

The BMW R 1300 RS combines the powerful 1300cc boxer with precise, semi-active suspension and modern electronics. Compared to its predecessor, BMW's sports tourer has become significantly more dynamic and sportier. It shows its strengths on winding roads in particular, but doesn't have to hide from longer stages either.

Very good feel for the front wheel

dynamic and powerful engine

precise suspension with high stability and versatility

easily modulated sports brakes

versatile riding modes and electronics

nicely front wheel-orientated but not too radical riding position

Windscreen adjustment a little awkward

slight turbulence on the helmet for taller riders

knee angle a little acute for riders with long legs
