If you're looking for a motorcycle that blends cutting-edge engineering with timeless roadster attitude, the 2025 BMW R1300R deserves a spot at the top of your list. This isn't just a step forward from the R1250R - it's a full leap into a new era of performance and versatility, built for riders who want to conquer both city streets and open roads with confidence. And for New Zealand's uniquely varied riding conditions, there may be no better fit.
At the heart of the R1300R is BMW's latest 1,300cc boxer twin - lighter, more compact, and significantly more powerful than before. Producing around 145 hp and 149 Nm of torque, it delivers immediate, linear thrust right where Kiwi riders need it most: on fast sweepers, hill climbs, or even overtaking on the open road.
ASA = Automated Shift Assistant. It automates clutch actuation and shift changes (via servos/actuators) but retains a manual-style foot lever for shifts.
