All the motorcycles come to India via the CBU route and bookings for the motorcycles are open at BMW Motorrad dealerships across the country starting today for a token amount of Rs. 5 lakh.

Speaking about the launch, BMW Group India - President, Dr. Hans-Christian Baertels said, "BMW Motorrad GS models offer distinctive, powerful and reliable propulsion when it comes to setting off on an extended tour or a long-distance journey - or simply enjoying the satisfying pleasure of a short weekend trip. Whether in the city, on the motorway, or off-road, the all-new BMW R 1250 GS gives greater freedom and riding pleasure. The all-new BMW R 1250 GS Adventure is built for challenges.

The 2019 BMW R 1250 GS is powered by a 1254 cc twin-cylinder motor that produces 136 bhp

In terms of changes, the 2019 BMW R 1250 GS uses a larger capacity engine thanks to a 1.5 mm larger bore and 3 mm longer stroke, up from the 1170 cc motor seen on the older model. The engine also gets variable timing for the intake valves or ShiftCam technology, which makes a more even spread of torque across the rev range while also helping in smoother throttle output. With the upgrades, the new 1254 cc twin-cylinder, Boxer engine, as a result, now produces 136 bhp at 7750 rpm and 143 Nm of peak torque at 6250 rpm, with output up by 9 bhp and 18 Nm. The bike also gets a new exhaust manifold system.

The BMW R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS Adventure gets two riding modes as standard, while the bikes come with Automatic Stability Control (ASC), and Hill Start Control as standard as well. Buyers can also opt for the Comfort package that adds a chrome-plated exhaust system, heated grips and RDC tyre pressure control. There's a Touring Package too with Dynamic ESA, keyless ride, preparation for navigation unit, cruise control, centre stand, case holders on both left and right sides. Lastly, the Dynamic Package comes with pro riding modes including ABS Pro, HSC Pro, DTC and DBC support. The package also includes Gear Shift Assistant Pro, Daytime Riding Light and LED turn indicators.

The 2019 BMW R 1250 GS range comes to India via the CBU route

Visually, the 2019 BMW R 1250 GS range looks identical to the older models but gets a more masculine look with several blacked out elements like the cross-spoke wheels, brake calipers and the main frame. Other upgrades include new injectors and jet cooling for the piston undersides, updated slipper clutch and new unit construction gearbox. A 6.5-inch TFT display makes for the instrument cluster that comes with smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth. The bike also gets a semi-active electronic suspension with automatic load compensation, while there will be a Sports suspension package on offer too.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
