BMW R 1300 GS: Motorcycle of the Year

Rider’s 2024 Motorcycle of the Year

In the world of motorcycles, few names achieve “icon” status. For BMW Motorrad, the R-series GS lineup has long been synonymous with adventure, versatility, and innovation. This legacy continues with the introduction of the 2024 BMW R 1300 GS, which has earned the prestigious title of Rider Magazine’s Motorcycle of the Year (MOTY) for the third time. With its combination of groundbreaking technology, comfort, and power, this machine cements BMW’s place at the pinnacle of adventure riding.

A Legacy of Excellence

BMW’s R-series GS debuted in 1980 with the R 80 G/S, pioneering a new category of motorcycles that excel on both pavement and rugged terrain. Over four decades, the GS has evolved into BMW’s bestselling model, with its millionth boxer-powered GS produced in 2023. The new R 1300 GS, unveiled during BMW Motorrad’s 100th anniversary, represents a clean-sheet design that retains the GS’s defining traits while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in motorcycle engineering.

What Makes the R 1300 GS the Best Yet?

After seven years of development, the R 1300 GS introduces a host of upgrades, including:

• New Frame and Suspension: Features like the EVO Telelever and EVO Paralever systems with optional adaptive vehicle height control enhance comfort and performance.
• Advanced Rider Aids: Cutting-edge electronics ensure precision and confidence in any riding condition.
  Slimmer, Aerodynamic Design: Despite its more compact appearance, the R 1300 GS delivers increased power and torque, impressing riders on- and off-road.
• Rider Magazine’s review captures it perfectly: “Hands down, the R 1300 GS is the best GS yet.” The magazine highlighted the bike’s improved balance, engine character, and versatility, alongside its striking new look.
