Motorcycle enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to hear news of BMW’s upcoming 2024 1300cc GS model. The German company has done a great job of keeping the project undercover, literally. During the last two years, we’ve only seen rough spy photos and only a video of the two-wheel beauty.
According to fresh spy shots, we will be seeing a radically updated flagship BMW GS adventure bike next year. Thanks to the new shots, published by Germany’s Motorrad, we now have a clearer view. The photos show a pair of test bikes and reveal much more detail than previously seen.
The new spy shots confirm the bike will indeed feature radar front and rear. Up front, an emitter will enable adaptive cruise control, so when you’re droning from one adventure to another, the cruise setting will automatically adjust to control the distance between the bike and any vehicle ahead of you.
The bike’s rear radar will enable a blind spot assist system, a technology most are by now familiar with on automobiles. We know this because light-up triangular hazard icons can be seen clearly in the bikes’ rearview mirrors.
The R1300GS will have a slightly longer wheelbase than the current 1250GS. The new bike measures 59.8 inches, whereas the current GS measures 59.6 inches and its Adventure variant is 59.2 inches. The bike’s overall length is also longer, measuring 87.1 inches compared to the current GS’s 86.9 inches.
Main expected specs so far:
- Horsepower: 143.5 hp
- Torque: 109.9 lb-ft @ 6,500
- Top Speed: 140 mph
- Wheelbase: 59.8 inches
- Overall Length: 87.1 inches
- Wheels: 19″ front / 17″ rear
- Braking: ABS
Although BMW hasn’t officially confirmed the new model, it is expected that it will be revealed in the late summer/autumn as an early 2024 model.
