If you’re a fan of BMW’s Boxer range, but don’t like the GS, then you’ve probably been quietly fuming the last 18 months or so. Because it’s nearly two years since the Munich massive unveiled the latest 1300 flat twin, in the R1300 GS, and they’ve only now got round to releasing the R, RS…

It might look like a tool from the 1980s – but that’s purely intentional. This is the 2025 BMW R12 G/S, and it’s designed to evoke the spirit of the first Bavarian production enduro machine – the R80 G/S – while incorporating the best of the firm’s modern tech. Now, let’s not rewrite history: the…

5th March 2025

BMW’s enormous R18 mega-boxers have had some very minor tweaks, aimed at meeting the tighter Euro 5+ emissions rules. So, the 1802cc air-cooled flat twin motor has a new ECU, which keeps power the same at 91bhp, but adds an extra 5Nm of torque. The new engine is shared amongst the range: the R18 Classic…

BMW’s ‘F’ range has sometimes been overlooked in the past, which is a shame. The Bavarian bike-mongers was ploughing a lonely furrow in the parallel-twin world nearly 20 years ago with the original F800 models, and now everyone’s in on (arguably) the dullest of the two-cylinder layouts. It must be fuming. But not too much,…

Adam ‘Chad’ Child has got his thoughts down on the new Beemer. Here’s what you need to know: Bigger engine, more power, less weight and a new look for the 2024 BMW F 900 GS- It’s weird to think the new middleweight F 900 GS produces more power than the legendary 1200 GS when it…

Chad begins his journey with the big beemer… Welcome to my long-term R12 nineT. Forget about the unusual name, this is the first serious revision of the decade-old R nineT boxer twin, and perhaps the most gratifyingly blended retro yet to come from BMW for some time.

20th November 2023

While all eyes were on the news of the launch of the new R1300GS, BMW’s quietly revealed some serious changes to its long-legged sport-tourer. Powered by the same S1000RR-derived 999cc four-cylinder engine as the previous generation, it’d be easy to assume that performance is pretty much the same. But revised intakes and fresh mapping have…

£10,000-£18,000 BMW’s big-mile cruiser is also well worth a look if you’ve not got your heart set on something with more ‘old-school’ styling. The K1600, and K1600B which we’re focusing on here, are excellent motorcycles. The German firm knows how to build refined, reliable and capable motorcycles that’ll run forever, and this is no different.…
