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.

Hmmm ... I freelance for our local BMW dealer and see how the MC market is developing ... right now the MC market is way down in demand and on top of that we are seeing a bunch of people exiting motorcycling altogether. Maybe these are people who started during COVID and weren't really enthusiasts, but nevertheless the market is shrinking notably and pricing is under severe pressure. As used bike values are tanking significantly it also affects owners thinking about a new bike. Lastly, we see that any BMW bike over 29k is a hard sell unless it is a "M" bike of which there are few and enough people scooping them up. The K1600 and the R18 are incredibly slow movers and there were discounts up to 10,000 dollars on R18 all year. Maybe BMW knows more than what we see. Still, they have severely miscalculated the market in the past (CE-04 and R18 for example plus the K1600 is getting very long in the tooth) and can improve its P&L by compensating volume with higher price by reducing supply. Still, the signals are going in the direction of a difficult MC market. Bikes like the Tenere 700 , MT-09 and especially the new R9 will continue to sell very well because they are a steal for what they offer and price increases at Yamaha have been far below inflation over the past years. As a matter of fact Yamaha is barely increasing the nominal pricing on their bikes. BMW does not have such an offering anywhere. So maybe it will be back to rebates, discounts and cash-backs for BMW?
