The BMW R1300GS is an adventure touring motorcycle announced for the 2024 model year by BMW Motorrad, following the BMW R1250GS. The engine and transmission were redesigned, as was the frame, eliminating the full trellis frame of the earlier model. Both changes contributed to a weight of 523 pounds (237 kg), down 26 pounds (12 kg) from the previous model. It also eliminated the asymmetrical headlights in earlier generations of the GS series.
