The BMW R1300GS is an adventure touring motorcycle announced for the 2024 model year by BMW Motorrad, following the BMW R1250GS.[1] The engine and transmission were redesigned, as was the frame, eliminating the full trellis frame of the earlier model. Both changes contributed to a weight of 523 pounds (237 kg), down 26 pounds (12 kg) from the previous model. It also eliminated the asymmetrical headlights in earlier generations of the GS series.[2]
