R 1300 GS Adventure

The R 1300 GS Adventure extends BMW's ADV platform with a 7.9-gallon fuel tank delivering over 400 miles of touring range, the same 145 hp ShiftCam boxer, and radar adaptive cruise control — built for remote continent-crossing rather than off-road agility. The 593-lb wet weight makes this a road-first machine best suited to two-up long-distance travelers who prioritize range above all else.
