2019 BMW model revisions

BMW Motorrad has got some ‘housekeeping’ out of the road by announcing minor updates to a number of existing models before the major launch season – one of which is expected to be a completely revamped S 1000 RR – happens in the second half of 2018.

As far as livery is concerned, the biggest news is with the Heritage range and its optional BMW ‘Spezial’ finish in a number of configurations, while on the tech front the BMW Motorrad Connected app will receive a major update with additional functions and enhancements.

The digital maps will also be completely revised and, as one of the most requested features, the navigation option "winding route" will be introduced.
