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

BMW M 1000 XR 2026

BMW M 1000 XR 2026

BMW M 1000 XR: The unreasonable travelling monster The BMW M 1000 XR is the bike that nobody needs but everyone wants. This oversized touring motorbike combines the comfort of a long-distance machine with the power of a superbike. On the motorway, it feels as stable as if it were riding on rails, even at speeds that dwarf the speed limit. But the real miracle is the braking system, which offers a deceleration performance that is otherwise only known from thoroughbred racing machines. When you make yourself small and open up the throttle, the M 1000 XR becomes a roaring beast that leaves you with a wide grin.

Powerful engine

impressive power

comfortable riding position

effective wind protection

stable geometry

well-tuned chassis

sharp braking system

high braking stability

versatile on race tracks and long tours.

Upright riding position offers less feedback

high handlebars and centre of gravity far back are less precise compared to supersports and naked bikes
