BMW R 1300 R

BMW R 1300 R Overview

Big output is the R 1300 R’s clearest appeal: this upcoming super bike pairs 145 bhp with 149 Nm, making it a performance-focused option for highway and weekend riding. Its six-speed manual gearbox and Eco, Rain and Road modes offer different settings for changing conditions, while dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels locking during hard braking. A stepped pillion seat comes with a footrest and grab rail, though comfort cannot be judged from the listed details.

Against the on-sale Ducati Streetfighter V2, BMW lists 27 bhp and 55.7 Nm more. However, it provides no mileage, kerb weight or seat-height figures to help buyers assess running costs and fit, and there is no under-seat storage. The R 1300 R is expected to launch in November 2026 and is not on sale yet. Its expected price has not been announced, so its value position against the listed Ducatis remains unclear.

• 145 bhp and 149 Nm exceed the listed power and torque figures of the named Ducati rivals.
