One of the things I loved about the Devil Stone Run rally I did last year was getting intimately familiar with the 2025 BMW R 1300 GS, the brand's flagship adventure model.
It was, as you'd expect, a plush, comfortable, and extremely capable machine. I ate mile after mile after mile, just relaxed, cruising, and enjoying the beautiful sights of Wyoming's landscape. It's easy to see why everyone and their mother loves the machine. But I also found that the motorcycle had a far more devlish side.
Pretty early on, I found that whenever I'd get onto the throttle—in almost every mode apart from Rain—it'd want to lift the front end to the sky. At a light? Twist, braap. Heading onto an on-ramp? Twist, BRAAAAAAP! Everywhere and anytime I wanted to, I could twist the BMW's throttle, crank that big boxer engine, and let loose the dogs of war. There's even a dope shot of me doing a wheelie with the backdrop of the Devil's Tower as the hero photo for that story.
