BMW R 1300 GS Adventure 2025 Model Launched - Specs & Photos

The BMW R 1300 GS was the largest overhaul ever seen in the legendary GS platform. Top to bottom, it was all-new and all-polarizing, some lamenting it was now a streetbike for the dirt than the other way around, as has traditionally been the case. If you want to read the in-depth test from Spain, here you go.

We always knew there would be a 1300 Adventure variant in the works, and as you can see, it is quite the departure from even the 1300 it’s based off.

The new R 1300 GS Adventure runs the same 1300cc liquid-air cooled, BMW ShiftCam-equipped boxer-twin motor as the base model that pumps out a claimed 145 hp at 7750 rpm and 110 lb-ft of torque at 6500 rpm, those numbers being nine horsepower and five foot-pound more than the old 1250 motor.
