Here’s your next go-anywhere road trip on two wheels, a 2025 BMW motorcycle designed for whichever horizon you choose to point it at. The 2025 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure has a hefty name and, as you can see, there's a pretty hefty bike to match the moniker. As Christof Lischka, head of development for this 2025 BMW puts it, "The appearance of the new BMW R1300 GS Adventure is sure to attract attention." We’re certain of that, and there are good practical reasons why.

First things first. You’ll be reassured to know that wherever you are, on road or off, there’s more than enough power. Basis is classic BMW boxer twin engine, with a full 143 bhp to play with when you open the throttle. And you’ll be able to travel further than ever on this 2025 BMW adventure motorcycle, too, with a huge 30-litre tank whose super-wide styling has drawn more than a touch of criticism. Personally, we’d rather have enough fuel to get home from the middle of nowhere than be admired on the Chelsea cruise.

Equally striking is the front lighting, with main LED headlamp on the 2025 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure in a signature cross design, with additional LED lamps to each side, emphasising the added width of this impressive machine. So wide is that tank, incidentally, that there’s space for a pitstop coffee cup on a rubber matted area. Screen includes side deflectors for extra weather protection, added hand protectors are aerodynamic. This is a 2025 BMW that looks after you.

Take gear-changing. Or lack of it. Because one of the biggest changes on the 2025 BMW is the option of semi-automatic transmission, with BMW’s Automated Shift Assist doing away with the need for a manual clutch and also offering a fully automatic option. For that off-road adventure that you’re planning, there's also the option of the 2025 BMW’s Dynamic Suspension Adjustment which automatically tweaks suspension as you’re riding, with additionally a variety of modes to choose from. Select “Enduro” on your 2025 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure for that mountainside ascent.

The chunky looks of the motorcycle won’t win any style contests. And that’s of course the point: this 2025 BMW motorcycle aims to take you places and its form follows function design is conceived to do that, and - being BMW - do it brilliantly. With one of these in your garage, that trans-continental trip suddenly seems essential, rather than a pipe dream. Cost, given all of this, is we’d say, reasonable hovering around the £20,000 mark, with our choice, the fully-specced 2025 BMW R 1300 GSA TE ASA - the one with the trick transmission - costing £21,300. Time to get the maps out.
