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

The Hammer engine is certainly one of the most fundamental elements of the new 1390 Super Duke R. There is no other manufacturer that can achieve this level of performance with a V2 engine while at the same time running smoothly and complying with all emissions standards. The engine alone guarantees pure riding pleasure and enables power wheelies up to third gear with good modulation. This means that the Beast has actually been sharpened up again and offers enormous fun on the race track as well as on the road, even if you have to be extremely restrained there to avoid having to give up your licence forever.

Powerful V2 with unrivalled smoothness and responsiveness

Wide range of applications from country roads to race tracks

Good ergonomics

Outstanding stability in fast corners and under braking

Precise handling on the race track

Excellent Assistance Systems and Quickshifter

Impressive engine performance that is also suitable for everyday use

Automatic gearshift somewhat rough under partial load TC control too much even at the lowest level

Suspension of the "R" has weaknesses for racetrack use - front dips a little too much

The housings of the switch units on the handlebars give way slightly and move

Many accessories at extra cost, e.g. automatic gearshift

Wide tank restricts active riding positions somewhat
