BMW R 1300 GS Adventure 2024

The new R 1300 GS Adventure was eagerly awaited - how will the Bavarians differentiate it from the normal 13 Series GS in terms of design? Well, the powerful, angular appearance is already a success, the new big Adventure looks rustic, but doesn't look too stolid and you can see at first glance with the many practical details that BMW is all about making globetrotters happy. On the drive side, the GS Adventure benefits from the even more powerful boxer engine, which accelerates the heavy Adventure forwards effortlessly and agilely. The handling is unexpectedly light and the ergonomics are excellent. Of course, the BMW R 1300 GS Adventure is expensive, nobody expected a bargain. However, it is already equipped with an extensive range of electronic features in the basic version, and with the ASA automated quickshifter, adaptive ride height control, adaptive cruise control and much, much more, it is of course even more expensive. But beware: anyone who tries it will probably want it on their R 1300 GS Adventure!
