BMW Motorrad has officially unveiled the new 2025 BMW R 1300 R, a streetfighter motorcycle powered by its latest 1,300 cc boxer engine. The R 1300 R serves as the successor to the R 1250 R, and it is the third model to utilize BMW’s flagship twin-cylinder engine, joining the R 1300 GS and R 1300 GS Adventure.
The new engine, which produces more power and torque than its predecessor, is the main highlight of the R 1300 R. It has a maximum output of 109 horsepower and 129 Nm of torque, making it capable of accelerating from 0-100 kmph in just 3.3 seconds.
The 2025 BMW R 1300 R is designed to be a streetfighter, with a more aggressive stance and styling compared to the R 1250 R. The motorcycle features a new, more angular design with a prominent nose fairing, a low-slung seat, and a large air intake.
In addition to its powerful engine, the R 1300 R also features a range of advanced technologies, including lean-sensitive traction control, cornering ABS, and dynamic traction control. These features help to improve the motorcycle’s stability and handling, making it suitable for both daily commuting and long-distance touring.
The 2025 BMW R 1300 R is expected to be available in European markets from March 2024, with prices starting at around €12,500 (approximately $14,500 USD).
