Model year 2018 will see a number of facelift measures in the BMW Motorrad programme. The models can be ordered from all BMW Motorrad partners in the new configurat­ion from August 2017.

BMW Motorrad is now expanding its individual­isation range with BMW Motorrad Spezial and is offering distinctiv­e design, performanc­e and value enhancemen­t as well as exclusive customisat­ion options ex-works.

For a start, the new offer includes special paint finishes for selected models through high-quality milled parts packages to forged wheels

BMW Motorrad Connectivi­ty provides fast and safe informatio­n with the least possible distractio­n from the traffic situation.

This is achieved with the unique operating concept of the new Connectivi­ty option by BMW Motorrad featuring a high-quality 6.5 inch full-colour TFT display.
