The upcoming BMW R 1300 GS will be marginally bigger than the outgoing R 1250 GS, but it will be a full 12 kg lighter.

 

The headlight is expected to be a symmetrical LED design, departing from the signature offset headlight design of the GS which has been in place since the late ‘90s. There’s a new single-slot LED headlight design on the R 1300 GS with a central main LED, which is likely to include cornering light facility. The headlight has been repositioned slightly below, towards the ‘beak’ freeing up a flat space above, which will likely have the radar system for the adaptive cruise control system.
