Fresh look for 2023 BMW range

BMW Motorrad has announced a host of relatively minor changes across a number of its 2023 models, which are due to begin arriving in Australia from early next year.

A number of models will receive fresh colour choices, with new hues replacing discontinued schemes, while BMW’s RDC feature – essentially tyre pressure monitoring – will be made available across a number of models equipped with pushbutton starting.

The '40 Years' anniversary edition of the R 1250 GS/R 1250 GS Adventure is dropped from the adventure lineup but a new 'Trophy' variant arrives (R 1250 GS, R 1250 GS Adventure, F 850 GS), while the ‘comfort turn indicator’ function (self-cancelling indicators) can now be deactivated from the instrument cluster menu, on applicable models.
