BMW S 1000 R 2025
The BMW S 1000 R will remain an uncompromising roadster for sporty, ambitious road riders in 2025. The BMW S 1000 R 2025 is not a bike for posers or warmists. It is a technical statement - crystal clear, precise and mercilessly efficient. Anyone who thinks naked bikes are tame all-rounders will be proven wrong here. If you are looking for a powerful naked bike with modern technology and distinct riding pleasure, the S 1000 R is an excellent choice.

BMW R 1300 GS 2025
BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS with a wealth of experience and expertise, which is reflected in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders and offers an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs both off-road and on the road. Unfortunately, the first series of the new 1300 GS is not yet 100% perfected in some areas, as several recalls as well as vulnerable components show.
Powerful engine with very sporty reponsiveness
Stable riding performance - yet the bike is agile and cornering-friendly
Handguards offer good wind protection
With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before
Well-integrated radar cruise control
Comprehensible operating concept
wide range of ergonomics customisation options
Well-functioning and inconspicuously integrated emergency call system
Very good balance with different load conditions
The suspension works at a good level - however, it does not offer truly flawless reponsiveness or a really wide adjustment range
Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday driving
ABS system gives too much feedback into the brake lever during sporty riding
Susceptibility of the side panelling to scratches in raw off-road terrain and when used with rough boots
The direct reponsiveness of the powerful engine is a little tiring on long distances with two riders
