Does the Boxer engine finally work in a Roadster? 2025 BMW R1300R Review

Описание: The brand-new 2025 BMW R1300R is here, the latest bike in BMW’s range to get the updated 1300cc boxer engine. I’ve not always been convinced that a boxer works in a roadster-style motorcycle, but this new R1300R has had a complete redesign — and it looks great! In this video I take the R1300R for a first ride, run through the key specs and features, and share my first impressions on whether the boxer finally makes sense in a naked roadster.
If you’re considering the BMW R1300R as your next bike, or just want to see what BMW have done with their new engine platform, join me for the ride.
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments — do you think the boxer works in a roadster?
