2025 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure Pricing Starts at $22,745*
*Plus whatever packages you want to add on
BMW announced the new 2025 R 1300 GS Adventure will have a starting price of $22,745 in the U.S., plus a $695 destination fee. That’s a $2,000 increase from the $20,745 base price of the R 1250 GS Adventure it is replacing, and a $3,850 price difference from the 2024 R 1300 GS’ starting price.

Of course, you aren’t actually going to find a GS Adventure at that starting price. In addition to the $695 destination fee, there will be additional add-ons for various packages and color options. BMW’s own online configurator doesn’t even give you the option of removing a $3,275 Premium Package.
The Premium Package includes additional ride modes, hill start control, upgraded brakes, radar-based rider aids, cornering lights, a center stand, an electronically adjustable windshield, and pannier mounts. You also get a choice of either a quickshifter or the Automated Shift Assistant, meaning the automatic transmission by itself does not add a premium.
The starting price is for the basic Racing Red color. BMW also offers three styling packages: Style GS Trophy in Racing Blue Metallic with cross spoke black wheels for $845. The Triple Black Package costs an extra $895, and it comes with the black cross spoke wheels plus a dark tinted aluminum fuel tank and more comfortable seats. For $2,495, you can get the Option 719 Karakorum package in a Aurelius Green metallic matte color, with milled parts, and gold colored cross spoke wheels. These packages are also available with forged enduro wheels for an additional $1,095.
Curiously, BMW USA’s configurator doesn’t let us add the Karakorum package with the Automated Shift Assistant, though it’s not clear whether that is intended or if it was a bug.
Adding other accessories like aluminum luggage or adaptive vehicle height control push the price higher as well, further turning the $22,745 starting price into a mere footnote.

I hate to be that guy...every single comment section (particularly for Dennis' new bike articles) has someone saying they hate how it looks. But, despite that, I...hate how it looks. First time I've typed that.
That rectangular tank/whateveritis area is so much worse than the 1250, and previous gens, it just looks clunky. OK, now I'm that guy. At least I'm not complaining about MSRP!
Thank you Dennis for your well-researched updates on new models.
Motorcycle Maker's reliance on traction control, ABS turn off switches, hill start assist and on and on, to make more money is not sitting well with me and I suspect a lot of other Riders. Especially when you cannot buy a model that doesn't have those "Extras". But, makers see dollar signs on items that don't really cost them much or anything. To charge $900.00 to paint it a different color is wrong. Also, by the time a person buys a top of the line model, they probably don't need help with stalling when they are starting on a hill. I don't want a keyless bike, that uses an electronic fob or one that you don't have the serious inconvenience of having to hold my finger on the start button until it starts. I've owned four bikes without an electric starter and didn't have an issue with it. Things are getting too complicated by trying to make it uncomplicated. All taking place without the Owner having any access or information on how to fix it! My 1987 Yamaha RZ350 went well, was comfy and was easy to repair and tune. For me the electronic advances are not improving the experience.
