BMW has adapted its 1,300 cc boxer engine for sport touring with the R 1300 RS, a bike designed for those who want to rack up the miles without sacrificing performance and comfort. Compared to its more naked and aggressive R sister, the RS features a semi-fairing that improves aerodynamic protection and riding comfort, making this bike ideal for travelling with a passenger.

The ergonomics change significantly: the wide handlebars of the naked version give way to two clip-on handlebars that ensure a more compact and sporty riding position, while maintaining a good level of comfort. The option of fitting side panniers completes the picture of a motorcycle dedicated to grand touring, ready to tackle long distances with luggage and a passenger.

The technological equipment is top-notch. The suspension system allows you to adjust both the hydraulics and the spring rate, adapting the set-up to different load conditions. Active safety is enhanced by front and rear radars that feed into the driver assistance systems, making journeys even safer.

Another new feature is the ASA gearbox, BMW's automatic system that eliminates the clutch. This bold choice enhances the bike's versatility, allowing you to concentrate on riding without worrying about gear changes, which is particularly appreciated in urban traffic or on long motorway journeys.

The boxer engine delivers 145 horsepower and 149 Nm of torque, figures that guarantee brilliant performance in all conditions. The R 1300 RS thus confirms itself as the ideal choice for those looking for a modern and technological sport-touring bike.
