BMW has produced the R 1300 GS, but the 2025 BMW R 1250 GS Adventure remains a leading long-distance adventure-touring vehicle. For unlimited travel on varied terrains, the GS Adventure flawlessly blends power, versatility, and innovative technology for on-road comfort and off-road prowess.
The 1,254cc air/liquid-cooled boxer-twin engine in the R 1250 GS Adventure produces 136 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and 105 lb.-ft. at 6,250 rpm. BMW’s ShiftCam technology improves valve timing and lift, improving performance and efficiency across revs. It handles highway driving and difficult off-road situations with smooth power delivery, quick acceleration, and improved fuel economy.
A front and bolted-on rear frame with the engine as a load-bearing element make the motorcycle’s frame solid but flexible. The BMW Motorrad Telelever front and paralever rear suspension systems mix comfort and precision. With 8.3 inches of front suspension travel and 8.7 inches at the back, the R 1250 GS Adventure can handle bumps and uneven ground.
Two 305mm front discs and a 276mm rear disc provide the R 1250 GS Adventure strong stopping power. Lean angle-optimized BMW Motorrad Integral ABS Pro prevents wheel locking and stabilizes cornering.
Advanced electronics, including Rain, Road, and Dynamic riding modes, let riders customize the R 1250 GS Adventure’s performance.
The 6.5-inch TFT display with BMW Motorrad Connectivity simplifies navigation, media, and vehicle info. On inclines, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Hill Start Control improve traction and ease of use.
The R 1250 GS Adventure’s unique front end and protective components give it a strong appearance. Ergonomics maximize rider comfort with changeable seat heights (35-35.8 inches) to suit individual tastes.
Wide range and a 7.9-gallon fuel capacity reduce refilling on long trips. At 591 pounds, the GS Adventure is heavy even with a full tank.
