We've been hot on the heels of BMW's many all-new upcoming bikes. Between an all-new M 1000 RS and a frankly bonkers R 20, I wasn't expecting to see much else from the Bavarian brand this year. As usual, I was wrong.
BMW was recently spotted testing what appears to be an all-new middleweight adventure bike. The bike looks like it'll sit between the current F 450 GS and F 900 GS, filling a very apparent gap in BMW's adventure lineup. With bikes like Yamaha's Ténéré 700 and KTM's 690 Adventure crushing it in this ever-popular category, it could prove a wise move for BMW to throw its hat in. The question is whether the manufacturer will have what it takes to compete with platforms that've been refined over a few generations.
