Overview
The BMW R 1300 GS is an adventure motorcycle produced for 2025–2026. The 2026 model has a 1,300 cm³ liquid-cooled boxer twin producing 145 hp (108 kW) at 7,750 rpm and 149 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, with a wet weight of 237 kg.
The 850 mm seat height gives the bike a tall stance, while its 237 kg wet weight can make slow-speed maneuvering more demanding. The engine’s peak torque arrives at 6,500 rpm, and the 192 mm front and 200 mm rear wheel travel provide room to absorb uneven ground. Shaft drive removes the need to clean or adjust a chain.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
The shaft drive avoids routine chain cleaning and adjustment.
Long suspension travel
With 192 mm of travel up front and 200 mm at the rear, the suspension has room to deal with uneven surfaces.
Strong torque output
The engine produces 149 Nm at 6,500 rpm, giving the bike substantial torque as it builds toward its power peak.
Things to consider
Tall seat
At 850 mm, the seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to put their feet down securely.
Substantial wet weight
The 237 kg wet weight can take more effort to manage at walking pace or when moving the bike by hand.
