BMW Motorrad model update for the model year 2013. BMW Motorrad ABS available as standard in all models worldwide. Dynamic and Touring packages for the BMW F 800 R.



Munich, 06.07.2012 -- A number of model updates will be integrated in the BMW Motorrad program for the model year 2013.The models will be available for order in the new configuration at all BMW Motorrad dealerships from August 2012.



BMW Motorrad ABS available as standard in all models worldwide.

As a leading motorcycle manufacturer, BMW Motorrad has always been aware of its social responsibility in connection with motorcycling safety. In 1988 the company presented the world's first serial production motorcycles with the antilock brake system ABS - the most effective technical safety bonus to this day. Now follows the next logical step: as of the model year 2013, BMW Motorrad will be the first manufacturer in the world to provide ABS in all models as standard. This is a proactive step, clearly pre-empting the requirement for ABS which is likely to be introduced in 2016 for all newly registered motorcycles in Europe.
