The BMW motorcycles 2021
What's changing in 2021
bMW updates its R 1250 RT tourer with a new look and more electronics. Each model in the GS range gets a special "40 Years GS Edition", with a vintage color scheme and lots of extra equipment. An R18 Classic offers the Bavarian manufacturer a new way to travel, as a bagger. On the sports side, the M 1000 RR is a more efficient version of the S 1000 RR. Neo-retro is not forgotten, with the slightly revised R NineT and the A2 option for the Pure. The NineT Racer disappears from the catalog. The S 000 R gets a lighter engine, a new frame and a 1250 face. The G 310 R also gets a facelift.
