What's changing in 2020

bMW is keeping up the pressure on its new models for 2020. The trail-GT-sport S 1000 XR benefits from a major upgrade. A little brother, the F 900 XR, comes to its aid in the lower category. The F 800 R roadster is replaced by the F 900 R.
After an absence of some fifteen years, the brand reinvents itself in the custom segment with a slim R18 equipped with a 1802 cm3 boxer.
A limited-edition R 1250 RT "Exclusive" arrives mid-year.
