At the end of May 2023, we published spy shots of what appeared to be a pair of BMW R 1300 GS bikes roaming on public roads, mostly undisguised. Both shared a lot of the same features. One was more accessorized than the other, showing off such features as the inclusion of a rather robust-looking engine guard. Adaptive radar is also evident, which isn’t surprising but is still nice to see all but confirmed with photographic evidence.
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then what about a video? While the photos we shared were quite clear and even provided a brief glimpse of the cockpit, the one thing that still photography can’t do is give you an accurate representation of how something sounds. Snap the most breathtaking shot of a bird in flight, and you still have to imagine what its call sounds like. The same is, of course, true for motorcycles.
