SCOOP! Here is the next BMW R 1300 GS

Here are the first photo-scoops of what will be the new BMW R 1300 GS. It seems to have a decidedly sportier footprint, but retains the typical characteristics of the Munich maxi: Telelever-Paralver suspension and boxer engine


There are some days when everything seems to go smoothly, no unexpected phone calls, and suddenly boom! Here comes the super scoop. What you see in the picture is in fact nothing-poo-less-than the future BMW R 1300 GS, caught in the final tests by our paparazzi scattered around Europe. Obviously nothing is known yet about performance etc., but we can venture something ...

We would like to immediately calm the spirits of the most agitated: the new BMW R 1300 GS will still be equipped with a twin-cylinder engine with boxer architecture and a Telelever-Paralever suspension scheme (in the photos you can see the spring in the center of the fork, typical of the Telelever scheme. ). What will change, presumably, will be the displacement , higher than the current 1,254 cc. How much? It is not known, but certainly closer to 1,300 cc. This is due to the increasingly looming legislation on emissions, the Euro 5.2 , which according to many companies will be very strict. On the other hand, it is curious to note how small the exhaust is, especially when compared to the current one.

However, performance will also increase : if you look carefully at the size of the radiator… it is presumable to expect at least 140-150 HP , with even more vigorous low-mid-range torque. The presence of variable valve timing is therefore almost obvious . But what changes in a decisive way would seem to be the nature of the bike: despite the identical rim sizes (19-17 spoked inches), the BMW R 1300 GS is much lower and crouched than the current 1250 , due to a decidedly more sporty and lowered design and weight / volume distribution.

To us, that flat nose vaguely reminds us of the 1290 Super Duke GT… Lahowever, the distance between the saddle and the handlebars seems to be important , a sign of considerable attention to comfort (also because the plexi has important dimensions). All these, however, are only inferences: to find out more we will have to wait a little longer. Stay connected.

It really needs 160hp or more, I need that power for trips south of the border where I generally sit at 120mph for a long time.

Oh Gawd,stand by for incoming...................

 

[Neil W]

I' m holding out for 1600cc at least 200 hp, twin turbos, rocket launchers , machine guns and 17" wheels. When will BMW realise that they are all absolutely essential

The bike has a large silencer/cat fitted below the engine which may explain the smaller end can

I need to see it with its clothes on because that looks hideous at the moment.

Everything looks like it was left by Yamaha in an 80s parts bin, so I wonder if it's simply early days testing of frame and engine (asuming the article is accurate). Presumably, we wont see it for another 15 months.

Compared to the new 1290s its a peach .....

 

[OnHellas]

Whatever it is/has it’ll still be the best adventure bike “in the world”.

 

[Loiq]

until they build a 2.8L twin turbo I'm not changing my bike....!

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

Why have the blurred out the rider's face?

Is it to save him from the embarrassment?

No i think the air has worn his face out as he reached Mach 2

And I will be one of the first on the list to get one , life is too short to worry..unless Boxerlust gets there first

Rough exterior and a bit soft ? Good analogy !!

 

[er-minio]

I can see the windscreen developed a fungal infection.

Ever thought that they may have fitted a different part deliberately, to get you thinking it's item A , and when it launches your get what actually should be fitted

 

[Barnoe]

In the picture the chap is pushing the bike backwards, so that rules out the reverse gear

the rumour is that the bike will be known as the M1300GS, as the bike will take on the same M badges as their sports cars.
The bike will also have more than 160BHP and be lighter in weight, the now instantly recognisable front LED light will go too.
The new bike will have the same lights as the S1000XR.

Why are they chasing more power and cc ?
Surely a lighter bike with better build quality and not festooned with things to go wrong would be better ?
I see on another thread that a guy had an issue with his SOS button (on an RT) and it took BMW 6 weeks to fix the issue.
SIX WEEKS , where the owner was without his bike to fix an issue that was created by BMW thinking riders need such a device as an SOS button.
I’m not sure I’d buy another modern BMW.

american market...?

it's all about cubic inches and fluid ounces
