BMW R 1300 R 2026

BMW R 1300 R 2026

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
