BMW Factory Project Manager introduces new BMW R18

Sebastian is new to the wonderful world of riding and had been searching for his first bike for quite some time. He took a thoughtful and methodical approach - researching various models from a wide range of brands. Despite exploring many options, the Kawasaki Z500 consistently stood out and Sebastian decided that the SE model was the perfect choice. It offered the right feel, matched his style, and it already came with the accessories he needed. Next step was to get into Procycles Kawasaki Sydney to have a closer look. Sebastian sat on our Z500 SE and suddenly everything he had been reading about made sense. The comfortable ergonomics with all the controls within easy reach. The lightweight [weighs only 167kg fully fuelled], beginner-friendly balance and low seat-height that inspires confidence. Then there’s the predictable throttle response, light clutch pull, and forgiving handling that make it an excellent choice for those new to motorcycling. Plus, all the extra features that come with the SE variant including its TFT display, USB-C outlet, Two-piece tail cowl, Pillion seat cover, LED turn signals, Tank and Knee pads, Frame sliders, and a Radiator screen. Good work Sebastian.

Alok came to us with a shopping list of bikes he wanted to try. He really liked the full power Kawasaki Ninja 650, but he thought he should also look at KTM’s 790 and maybe the NK800 from CFMOTO. All interesting bikes, but in reality, you can’t go past the Ninja’s solid build quality and reliability. The techs in the workshop at Procycles Kawasaki Sydney say they can’t remember the last time a Ninja came in with warranty issues.

When you ride a Kawasaki Ninja 650 all you have to do is stick to the service schedule, enjoy the peace of mind and the cheaper running costs. Alok made the right choice.

Kawasaki’s Ninja 650 offers a balance between performance and functionality. The Ninja 650 makes easy work of commuting to work, but is also capable of carving up your favourite corners. The Kawasaki Ninja 650 parallel twin features a six-speed transmission, and a slipper/assist clutch. Rider aids include switchable traction control, which can be adjusted via the 4.3-inch colour TFT display. Chassis components consist of a high-tensile steel trellis frame, 41mm telescopic forks, and a spring-preload adjustable shock.

Hannah’s parents are dyed-in-the-wool BMW adventure enthusiasts. They have owned GS after GS. So, when it came time for Hannah to ride, there was only one motorcycle she had her eyes set on, the 2025 G310 GS. Our Procycles BMW Hornsby Dealer Principal Matt, sat down with Hannah and her parents, and they came up with a list of extras longer than the contract itself. Including a full-set of SHAD luggage. Hannah works in Armidale, NSW, so everybody wanted to make sure she had everything she needs before she went back to the bush. We even arranged for Hannah’s new bike to get its first service when she got there. Fully kitted out, Hannah was ready to hit the road on her 5-hour trip home. Following in her parent’s GS footsteps, Hannah made the right call. Her new G310 might be the baby of the GS fleet, but it has all the hallmarks of its bigger siblings. Including typical first-class BMW quality components, strong build and overall finish. We checked up and we were glad to hear Hannah got home safely and wish her all the best.

Our handsome customer, Stephen, had taken a long break from riding since the birth of his two sons, now his kids are all grown up and with retirement around the corner, he knew it was time to get back on the road; in-style is an understatement. We placed an order for Stephen in March for the top of the line, new BMW 1300 GS Adventure in the option 719 spec, with all the bells and whistles. After a few anticipated months, Stephen got the go ahead for retirement, and his next adventure was just around the corner. We delivered his bike with smiles all around. Stephen - from everyone at Procycles BMW Hornsby, we wish you all the best with retirement and hope your next step in life is filled with lots of motorcycling excitement and happiness!

Kayle had been off the bikes for some time and was on the lookout for a solid LAMS option to help him ease back into riding. He came into Procycles Kawasaki Sydney on a Saturday and spoke with our sales team, we walked him through of the learner-approved bikes in stock. We showed him a range of options, both new and used, but one bike particularly stood out. Amongst our inventory was a low-kilometre Ninja 500 trade, immaculate and already fitted with an Akrapovič exhaust. We tricked Kayle. We started the bike. It sounded fantastic and he knew straight away. This was the one. Kayle gave us a deposit and asked us to fit frame sliders, for that extra level of safety. We prepped it over the weekend, and by Monday afternoon, Kayle picked up his new ride.Congratulationsmate. The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is the best-ever for not only first-timers, but also experienced riders who want a bike that works perfectly and has enough power to keep it interesting.

Josh has been coming into Procycles BMW Sydney for many years. He is one of our keenest enduro riders. But we lost contact with him recently. He was off somewhere riding a Tenere! Josh admits he bought too soon. Shortly after he took delivery of the Tenere, BMW released the F900 GS and Josh made the mistake of test riding it! However, it was way too soon to trade up. Then a few weeks ago, he was in getting his bike serviced when he saw we had an ex-fleet BMW F900 GS Enduro that was priced very aggressively. Josh couldn’t resist any longer. He knew it was time to upgrade. Who could blame him. This is a serious middleweight for riders wanting more off-road capability.

The Enduro model is even better than the standard F900 GS. It’s optioned up with the ‘Enduro Package Pro’ and the ‘Dynamics Package’. Josh gets trick Showa 45 mm fully-adjustable forks, an equally trick Sachs shock, and taller ‘bar risers. The Dynamic package includes the Quick-shifter Pro, Riding Modes Pro, a Key Fob, Nav prep, Tyre-pressure monitoring, Cruise control, and an ‘endurance’ chain. The parallel-twin engine pumps out a competitive 105 hp and 93 Nm of torque. And the F900 GS comes with a five-year warranty. Josh can ride this thing for three years and sell it with two-years warranty still left on it!

Ian was one of the first Procycles BMW Sydney customers to get on the new generation BMW R1300 GS, and in just over a year clocked up more than 26,000 klm’s. He loved riding his GS, but, was curious to see what difference some of the options on the newer models would make to his ride. Ian test rode our Triple Black demonstrator fitted with Automated Shift Assistant and ended up buying it. He really liked the ASA function and the full suite of other BMW options that come with the Triple Black variant. Ian completed his BMW with black Wunderlich Engine Protection Bars, a Bash plate and the black Akrapovic exhaust.

BMW’s new Automated Shift Assistant [ASA] function allows fully-automatic or semi-automatic gear changes and eliminates the 'bar-mounted clutch lever. Starting, stopping and manoeuvering become a breeze, while riders also have the choice to shift gears manually. The ASA features two electromechanical actuators that automate the clutch and gearshift, controlled by a Transmission Control Unit (TCU) that’s connected to sensors. They monitor revs, speed, gear position and more. All designed to ensure smooth shifts, to prevent stalls and allow you to pull away and come to a halt without having to worry about operating the clutch at all.

For Paul the wait is over. His special factory-order BMW Triple Black R1300 GS, fitted with Enduro Forged wheels, Adaptive Height Control and Enduro Package Pro has finally arrived. Today was new bike day and Paul bought his Dad along for the ride. This is a beautiful motorcycle that’s definitely worth waiting for. A compelling combination of performance, technology, and rider comfort, with its legendary powerful boxer engine, refined handling, and advanced features. But it’s the versatility that keeps GS riders coming back for more. No other motorcycle offers such capability in all conditions. The Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) offers multiple damping settings that can be adjusted on the fly, allowing riders to tailor the suspension to suit different surfaces, weight loads and pillion passengers. If you go adventure touring, the levels of all-day comfort are unbeatable. When you turn off onto the dirt, the 1300 GS is intuitive. Select the right rider mode and concentrate on the experience. Knowing that the traction control is syncing with the other systems to deliver a smooth ride. If you would like to know more, come in and talk with our BMW experts at Procycles BMW Sydney.

At Procycles we have sold more of these bikes than anyone else in Australia. Our BMW Master Techs and our technicians have completed the hands-on factory training. Our “front of house” team know all about the various optional packages and our Accessories guys are receiving stocks of Wunderlich Germany after-market Safety, Comfort and Performance parts, to individualise your GS. We also stock the latest SC-Project GS exhaust systems, to make the bikes even lighter and even faster.

Jeff is going the long way round Australia, starting out in Perth. So far he has clocked up 45,000 klms. When he arrived in Sydney, Jeff called into see us at Procycles BMW in St Peters for tyre change. Whilst he was waiting, Jeff was casually taking a closer look at the BMW R1300 GS. He asked our guys about the ride away price and was amazed by the deals currently on offer at Procycles. 24 hours later, he rode out of the dealership on a brand new 1300 GS, heading for South Australia. We also organised for him to do his first service with our friends at Moto Adelaide. Now Jeff can really enjoy an enhanced riding experience. The new Evo Telelever technology in the BMW R1300 GS provides a higher level of stability and improved response on bad or rough roads. The low center of gravity and chassis design contribute to the feeling of lightness and ease of steering. The Matrix LED technology in the headlights of the BMW R1300 GS provides enhanced visibility on the road. And his new GS has advanced safety features such as collision warning and blind spot detection to enhance rider safety.

Gavin can’t get enough of BMW’s M Sport motorcycles. He owned an M1000 R, which was the perfect fusion of a superbike and dynamic Roadster, with genetics straight from the M racing development program. A great weapon for track days and solo feats. But when his better half put her hand up and suggested they might go touring together, it looked like he would have to settle for a pillion-capable compromise. Until the new BMW M1000 XR was launched. This is where performance meets long-distance capability and comfort: The M1000 XR is the lightest and most powerful production crossover bike in the world. It develops over 148kW (201hp), has an aero package, heaps of carbon fibre and the most sophisticated rider aids available on a production machine. So Gavin traded in his M1000 R on a new M1000 XR, from Procycles BMW Sydney. Now he can still do track days but also head out for a bit of two-up touring.

There was a bit of an unexpected, unusual and embarrassing delay in the time it took to get Dave’s new Kawasaki Ninja 1100 SX SE to get to our Procycles Kawasaki Sydney dealership. Which made Dave even more eager to get his hands on his new toy. So, after our St Peters carpark handover, he made hasty exit, heading south and straight into the corners of the Royal National Park! And by all reports, he loved every minute and every kilometre of it.

It comes as no surprise. The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE builds upon the strengths of the previous model, offering a more powerful and capable machine for touring, everyday commuting and spirited sport riding. It boasts a powerful, smooth inline-four engine, with increased torque, especially in the midrange. The 1100 SX's handling is stable and composed, making it confidence-inspiring for both experienced riders and those new to the sport-touring category. The suspension and brakes are well-matched, providing a controlled ride. It’s also designed for long-distance comfort, with an upright riding position and effective wind protection. The SE variant's Brembo brakes and Öhlins shock add a touch of class and the SE model comes with features like cruise control and a quickshifter, which, in particular, is noted for its smooth gear changes. This is a refined motorcycle, well-finished, with attention to detail evident in the paint and overall build quality.

Procycles BMW Sydney are currently running a huge EOFY BMW Demo Sale, to clear our complete demonstrator range. Every model from a G310 R to the mighty K1600 GT. Some of these bikes have done next to no kms and they are going out the door at thousands of dollars off the retail price. Take a look at this beautiful BMW F900 GS Enduro that Colin has just scored for an amazing Demo Deal. The new F900 GS is a do-it-all, adventure model that is the new benchmark in this mid-capacity market segment. And the Enduro variant has brilliant on and off-road capability. Power and torque from the 900 is right up there with the other big hitters in the category. And it has standout features which include the Dynamic Package adding Gear Shift Assistant Pro and Riding Modes Pro. Plus the Enduro Package PRO with the Sport Suspension and High Handlebars.

One of Nikita’s friends had bought a bike off
us at Procycles Kawasaki Sydney and recommended Nikita get in and check us out.
Curious about what the Kawasaki Z500 SE had to offer, Nikita bought his helmet
with him and went out for a test ride. He was immediately impressed with the
low seat height, and legendary Ninja adjustable ergonomics, with all the
controls within easy reach. As he pulled away from the dealership, he was very
comfortable with the light clutch, and smooth power delivery. The Kawasaki Z500
SE is a great choice for new riders while also offering enough performance for
experienced riders. It makes 51 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 31.7 pound-feet of
torque at 7,500 rpm. The six-speed gearbox has an assist and slipper clutch
fitted as standard. ABS is also standard. By choosing the SE version, Nikita
also gets LED turn signals, a smoke-tinted fly screen, radiator screen, frame
sliders, a rear-seat cowl, tank pad, knee pads, a type-C USB charger and an
under cowl. Plus, TFT full-colour instrumentation with Bluetooth technology, so
you can connect wirelessly via your smartphone and Kawasaki’s Rideology The
App.

Tiernan liked his Kawasaki KLX230 so much that when it came time to replace it, even after lots of research on other models in the same class, he kept coming back to the same bike … only bigger. Tiernan came into Procycles Kawasaki at Hornsby and put his money down on a new KLX300R. And to reward his loyalty, the guys at Hornsby gave him a great deal. The KLX300R is a high-performance trail bike that bridges the gap between weekend play bike and a full race bike. This bike has everything you need to have a blast in the bush. An excellent motor that’s incredibly rider-friendly, but still has plenty raw power to get you into the first corner, when your mates [or your brother] gets serious. A 4-stroke single, DOHC, fuel-injected, 4-valve engine with electric start. USD 43mm forks with adjustable compression damping. Uni Trak, gas-charged shock on the back with piggyback reservoir, adjustable compression, rebound damping and spring preload. Plus, Tiernan gets Kawasaki’s legendary reliability, so all he has to do is ride it like he stole it!

Sam has a long history with BMW. He’s owned all their great bikes, starting in 2015 and 2018 with S1000 R Sports models. Then in 2021 he wound it up to a S1000 R M Sport. And now he’s just taken delivery of our first of the new M1000 R Competition models. It’s the first White Aluminium /Metallic colour that we’ve had come through the dealership. And it looks stunning. This is where Superbike meets dynamic Roadster. Made for the streets, and for the racetrack with M genetics. Made for all those who like it wild. Sam gets devastatingly strong top-end performance with 210 hp and a top speed of 280 km/h, all under his control thanks to BMW’s market-leading suite of electronic rider assist features. Power that’s infinitely more usable on the road when compared to the other branded naked ‘hotrods’ on the market. The added M Competition package, is loaded with all the fruit. Including the billet folding brake and clutch levers, fully adjustable billet footrests, carbon-fibre wheels, carbon front guard, carbon rear guard, carbon chain guard, carbon front sprocket guard, carbon screen, carbon airbox cover and carbon tank covers, pillion seat cover, M pillion seat, M passenger kit, software for the GPS laptrigger and the M endurance chain. When you ride it … think M1000 RR superbike with a less-aggressive riding position, half the fairings removed and, just like the M RR, once you get a few revs into it, it turns into seriously spine-tingling stuff.

Take a look at Michael’s new BMW R12 nineT in beautiful San Remo Green Metallic colours, from Procycles BMW Sydney. This will be the second Boxer engine bike in Michael’s garage, next to his R1300 GS. Different bikes for different purposes. Both these bikes are the real deal. And the Retro class is where authenticity is the most valuable commodity of all. Quality, character and mechanical capability is exactly what experienced motorcyclists want from a retro. That’s why the R nineT has been one of the most successful bikes that BMW has ever released. In the last ten years it’s sold over 106,000 examples worldwide. The 2025 R12 nineT has a new, lighter chassis and thoroughly updated electronics, a sleeker look and a generous scope for plug n’ play customisation. Peak power remains at 80kW (107hp) It delivers torque from the very bottom of the rev range and can give much ‘faster’ bikes a run for their money, when it’s not being an ultra-cool retro. Meanwhile, the revised chassis makes shorter riders welcome, and does so without dragging its ’pegs or pipe on the road. BMW’s cornering ABS Pro is standard while the brakes themselves are four-piston radial monobloc calipers and twin 310mm discs at the front, with a two-piston caliper and 265mm disc at the rear.

John likes his Boxers. Over the years he has owned all sorts. R1200 GS, R1200 R, R1250 R, R1250 RT, and even a previous gen R nineT. So, it was to be expected when he saw the launch of the new BMW R12 NineT, it was back to Procycles BMW Sydney, to order one.

John is not alone in his love for the classic R nineT. This model has been one of the most successful bikes BMW has ever released. In the last ten years it’s sold over 106,000 examples worldwide and been the foundation for many custom builds. The new generation BMW R12 NineT is a natural progression on the older version. It’s a good mix of retro and modern. There’s a new, lighter chassis and thoroughly updated electronics, a sleeker look and generous scope for customisation. It feels way more powerful than the specs suggest. It might make 'only' 109 hp, but it belts out a solid 115 Nm of torque. John gets three riding modes, Road, Rain and Dynamic, which deliver different throttle maps and are connected to the lean-sensitive traction control. TC can be switched on and off on the move. The bike goes hard, with the highly responsive throttle giving you the feeling of unlimited power. John’s onto a good thing and he’s sticking with it.

Vanessa just got in on the tail end of the Procycles BMW Sydney Demonstrator RunOut Sale. She took full advantage of the savings opportunity to get herself a beautiful BMW F800 GS Sport. With this latest model, BMW give its road-targeted, and budget-friendly, middleweight GS a boost in capacity and performance. It runs a bigger-capacity 895cc engine, which delivers 85.8bhp with 67.2ftlb of torque. Plus, BMW has loaded it with the latest electronic assists. ABS and Traction Control are now Lean-Sensitive, there are Two Power Modes (Road and Rain) with the option of adding more (Dynamic and Enduro), and it has heated grips and a TFT dash with connectivity. Whether its short distances or big adventures, Vanessa’s F800 GS has got it covered. It’s as capable of scratching around back-roads as it is being loaded up with luggage for long tours. By choosing the Sport Variant, Vanessa also gets a Tinted Windshield and Tyre Pressure Control. The added Comfort Package has M Endurance Chain, Keyless Ride, Navigation Preparation, Cruise Control and a Luggage Rack with Case Holders. And with BMW’s new 5-Year Warranty, Vanessa can Keep on Riding.

Sean knows that no other brand will do. When he decided to trade up from his trusty R1250 GSA, it was a natural progression to choose a new BMW R1300 GS Adventure in Triple Black. Sean now owns the ultimate Adventure Tourer. This is not a fashion contest. When you at the back of beyond, nobody cares how good it looks in the shed, or how wide the tank is. All you care about is how tough, reliable and well-equipped this motorcycle is to deliver an unforgettable adventure riding experience. Sean chose the Triple Black Storm Metallic variant because it is loaded with all the BMW optional packages. Sean gets the Topcase Carrier, Headlight Pro with Riding Assistant, the Touring Package and the Dynamic Package. Also included are Cross Spoked Rims, Comfort Rider and Passenger seat with heating and an Aluminium Tank. When the unpredictable awaits, you need the King of Adventure. Sean’s all set to go and with BMW’s 5-Year Warranty he can keep on riding.

Martin has owned Harleys and Ducatis, but this gorgeous 2024 R18 Highline is his first BMW. He’s been a forever fan of classic cruisers, but he was always settling for a compromise when it came to quality and engineering features. Then, at Procycles BMW Sydney, Martin saw this Blacked-Out version of BMW’s iconic, authentic R18 Cruiser. A modern masterpiece with all the classic design elements. Yet under that retro skin the R18 offers the latest BMW Technology and Rider Assist features. Including Automatic Stability Control and 3 Riding Modes. Timeless looks, comfortable cruiser ergonomics, high-end technology, and quality production all combining to deliver the riding experience Martin was looking for.Congratulationsmate. This bike makes a real statement.

Andrew came in to see us at Procycles Hornsby a few months ago and bought himself a BMW F900 GS Enduro, which he absolutely loves riding. So much so, he was back last week to have a look at a second bike that he can use to tackle the more technical off-road trails and bush tracks. Andrew locked right onto KTM’s 690 Enduro R and gave us a deposit when he saw the amazingly low 2024 model price. With the money Andrew saved he was able to go crazy ordering bits from the PowerParts catalogue. We managed to source everything he was looking for and had most of it fitted within a few days. Here’s a list of a few of the add-on parts he ordered; Tank bag, Luggage rack, Tail bag, Heated grips, KTM PowerParts handlebar, Quadlock with wireless,  charger, Wheel stickers, Crash bars, Wrap around Barkbusters, Side stand large plate, LED headlight, Bar risers, Valve caps, Pivot pegs, Tail Tidy, Puig windscreen and Adventure mirrors.

James is one of our sales guys here at Procycles BMW Hornsby. He knows his bikes inside out because its his job to sell them. When it came time to upgrade, James chose a new BMW S1000 RR Sport. And today was new bike day. Here James is being congratulated by our Hornsby Dealer Principal Matt on his new purchase. James fully kitted out his S1000 RR with the essential extra accessories; Radiator and Oil Guards, a Tank Protector, Bobbins, TFT Screen Protector and the full Exhaust System to be fitted at his first service. Procycles sell more of these bikes than anybody, so we get to see what they are like when they come back for regular servicing. We are invested and interested in good outcomes, and we live the customer experience. Our salesman all ride every day, just like you. So, we can talk to you honestly about the motorcycles we sell. As well as the extras James added to his new bike, by choosing the Sport variant, he also gets a Tyre Pressure Monitor, Passenger Kit and the all-important Dynamic Package, which includes Dynamic Damping Control, Heated Grips and Cruise Control.

Brad came into Procycles BMW Hornsby looking for sports bike performance and handling, but with real-world long-distance touring capabilities. And preferably something that was a lot lighter to manoeuvre around in tight situations. Brad locked onto the all-new BMW F900 XR Sport edition, with a relaxed, upright sitting position and fully adjustable suspension that allows for fine-tuning to suit different conditions. The 2025 model boasts a higher standard specification, a taller screen, and hand guards, plus advanced technical features like DTC and ABS Pro, to enhance safety and control. This is an easy bike to ride, with great ergonomics and practical luggage options. A sporty crossover complete with longer-travel suspension, that delivers perky and responsive performance. The DOHC eight-valve engine produces 105 hp at 8500 rpm and 67.9 lb.-ft. at 6500 rpm, and there’s a new Dynamic riding mode as part of the standard package. And it looks fantastic, fully brimming with BMW’s engineering and production values.

Riley knew exactly what he wanted when he came into Procycles Kawasaki Sydney. His only question was; did we have a brand new 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT Edition and when could he have it. It was the bike he had been searching for and we had one in stock. Riley wasted no time in putting down a deposit and was back a few days later, to collect his new ride. Good call Riley. The Ninja 650 motorcycle comes packed with a sporty 649cc engine, which produces 67 hp of power at 8,000 rpm and 65 Nm torque at 6,700 rpm. This model has been upgraded with next-level technology, and sharp styling. It’s unmistakably sporty performance is met with an upright riding position for exciting daily commutes. The 4.3” all-digital TFT full colour instrumentation offers great visibility. Utilizing Smartphone Connectivity through RIDEOLOGY THE APP, a number of functions can be accessed, logged, and reviewed enhancing the experience. Kawasaki’s advanced traction control system negotiates low-traction surfaces with confidence and Riley can select between three modes to suit his riding situation and preference.

Chris was waiting for a while for his new BMW R1300 GS to come through. He not only ordered it in Triple Black with all the options, but also with the Enduro Pack and the factory-fitted Adaptive Height Control. This new technology from BMW is amazing. Using sensors, the Height Control feature automatically adjusts the motorcycle's ride height, lowering it by approx. 30mm when stationary, to make it easier for riders to reach the ground, and raising it to normal ride height when the bike is in motion, maintaining optimal ground clearance. A great addition for those of us who are vertically challenged. At Procycles BMW Hornsby, as much as we love the Tri-colour bikes, there is something special about the all black 1300 GS. Congratulations Chris. All good things come to those who wait.

A big boy needs a man’s bike, like the undisputed Alpha of the Naked Pack, KTM’s awesome 1390 SuperDuke R. Barney parted with his GSX-R 1000 because it was too small for him and bought himself a new Beast, from Procycles KTM Sydney. This latest generation SuperDuke is 60% all new. Only the fame and swingarm are the same. The engine, electronics, bodywork and suspension were all treated to a massive makeover. The big V-twin’s power has increased to 141.7kW (190hp) @ 10,000rpm. Torque is up to 145Nm @ 8000rpm. Top speed taps out at 280km/h. Not satisfied with the SuperDuke’s 190 bhp Barney added the KTM Tech Pack which adds a myriad extra functions like launch control, nine-level traction control, factory start, performance mode, anti-wheelie mode, track mode, lap timer, telemetry, quickshifter, adaptive brake light and engine brake control. When it came time for new bike day, Barney insisted on posing with Vik, our Procycles Dealer Principal. And Vik wasn’t going to argue!

This beautiful Black Storm Metallic BMW S1000 XR is Chris’ first BMW. He researched the motorcycle with the most useable sport bike performance, a relaxed upright seating position, stunning looks and the best ergonomics in its class, and up came the BMW S1000 XR. This sit-up superbike has the genes of the RR, with the comfort of a long-distance tourer. It delivers a blistering 170hp at 11,000 rpm and weighs 227 kgs. It comes with state-of-the-art electronics, rider and safety aids, including; Integral ABS Pro, MSR, Dynamic Traction Control, Dynamic Brake Control, Dynamic ESA. Plus TFT Display with Connectivity, Riding Mode Pro, Keyless Ride, Adaptive LED Headlight Pro, Adjustable Windscreen, 12V Socket, USB Port and a Drop Sensor. At Procycles BMW Sydney, we managed to get Chris’s bike delivered just in time for the Easter long weekend and some clear riding weather. He didn’t hang around to collect his Easter eggs, choosing to head for the horizon instead.

At Procycles BMW Sydney, we were hoping nobody would notice this beautiful ex-demonstrator, when we listed it onbikesales.com.auThis BMW R12 nineT in San Remo Green with brushed Matt Silver highlights was the prettiest motorcycle we had seen in ages. Absolutely true understated retro elegance. But eagle-eyed Brendan from the ACT spotted it and drove up to Sydney to snap it up, before we could change our minds. BMW R12 nineTs are not just easy on the eye … the bike itself is really well balanced, has great ergonomics and is a joy to ride. Its fast and flexible, super-stable and inspires massive confidence in corners, as well as looking great reflected in shop windows. The overall finish on the bike is very very good, and it’s full of neat touches and attention to detail from top to toe. Under the nineT’s conservative skin hides BMW’s latest electronics and technology, including Dynamic Traction Control, ABS Pro and Riding Modes. The R12 nineT has a strong engine with thumping torque and a seamless power delivery. The 1,170cc air cooled Boxer Twin puts out about 109bhp and a decent Brembo set up makes braking easy, the clutch is light and the gear change sharp and sure. It is an incredible motorcycle that’s second to none in the retro motorcycle market.

John definitely upgraded his adventures when he traded up from his 890 Adv R to this beautiful new BMW R1300GS Option 719, in spectacular Aurelius Green and Gold colours, from Procycles BMW Sydney. This bike is unmistakably exclusive and available with premium equipment for individualists. The 719 variant gives John the extra style options of the Gold Cross Spoke Wheels and the Option 719 Shadow Billet Pack. Plus, he gets the Passenger Kit, Electronically Adjustable Windscreen, Main Stand and Comfort Rider's Seat. Then there’s the Seat Heating, additional LED Fog Lights and Top-Case Carrier. John also gets the Touring Package, Innovation Package and the all-important Dynamic Package, which adds DSA, Gear Shift Assistant Pro, Riding Modes Pro and Sports Brake.

This new BMW 1300 GS is markedly better than the previous GS. It is lighter, slimmer, and more powerful. It is a superb touring bike – comfortable, well-appointed, and totally capable of doing everything better than what went before it.

David uses his adventure motorcycles the way they were intended. Long, hard and fast. He owned his previous F800 GS for 10 years and clocked up over 50,000 klms exploring off-the-map destinations, with lots of unforgettable experiences along the way. This was only practice for what’s to come on his brand-new BMW F900 GS, from Procycles BMW Sydney. David is really going to enjoy his new ride. A completely different motorcycle compared to his previous model. This is the middleweight GS adventure riders have always wanted. A genuinely capable, all-round off-road package with lot’s more power, that’s lighter, slimmer, and handles better. The engine is not only more powerful, its more balanced across the entire rev range. The suspension is world’s ahead of the previous version. And if David wanted to make sure he never gets lost, all he has to do is install the BMW ConnectedRide Navigator accessory. This brilliant add-on, clearly shows you everything you need to know on the road or trail. In addition to important bike information, it provides current traffic info and regular map updates, ensure you always reach your destination. Plus, with the BMW Connected app, David can also integrate his smartphone content.

Arthur knows all about BMW’s heritage and their motorcycles that reflect a long, rich history. He was previously riding an R nineT and loving it … until this beautiful new BMW R12 S was released. A tribute to the original BMW R90S 900cc Boxer, produced by BMW from 1973 to 1976. Sporting distinctive two-tone paintwork, a bikini fairing and a new tail, the classic R90S was intended to shrug off the image of BMW bikes as staid and utilitarian.



BMW has now developed this new model R12 S in ‘Lava Orange,’ as a nod to the R90 S’s original ‘Daytona Orange’ paintwork and offer it as a complete, standalone model. The R12 S gets a more authentic retro style by also including chrome wire wheels.



The new Boxer engine develops 109 hp (80 kW) and 115 Nm max. torque at 6,500 rpm. The R12 S styling ‘S’ graphics, red pinstriping around the faded-in silver sections on the tank and tail, a tinted screen and orange stitching on the seat. BMW further added two ‘Option 719 Shadow Billet’ packs of blacked-out aluminium components, including the bars and footpegs, as well as the ‘Headlight Pro’ Cornering light system, and the ‘Comfort Package’ including Cruise control, Hill start control, Heated grips and Quickshifter.

Samantha is a good customer who started her Kawasaki experience with Procycles Sydney by purchasing a Kawasaki Z650 from us. And now she’s ready for a change of pace. Samantha did her research on the other brands, but she kept coming back to the new 2025 Kawasaki Z900. It had everything she wanted, plus a few pleasant surprises. Kawasaki has upped the ante with this new model. It’s a solid, sub-litre naked with heaps of power, its roomy and really comfortable to ride. The 2025 Z900 features a 948cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine, a 5-inch TFT display, electronic cruise control, improved smartphone connectivity, and an IMU for enhanced electronic riding support, including cornering ABS and traction control. But the best bit is … it’s a Kawasaki! These bikes are super reliable, they never come back to us with warranty issues and if they do, Kawasaki stands behind the brand and nothing is ever a problem. Procycles Kawasaki is Sydney’s Number One dealer because we deliver a very different Kawasaki buying experience. Come in and see for yourself.

Max has been through all the generations of BMW GS’s, R1200, R1250, now he’s got the latest model. Max has just returned from the New Zealand GS Safari and his first call was to Procycles BMW Sydney to collect his new R1300 GS Trophy, completely individualised with this awesome custom wrap. Craig Bernard [from the GS Safari crew] applied the graphics and did a fantastic job. Max supplied the kit which he sourced from: Dabrabbit (DRB Graphix) (@dabrabbit_graphics) By all reports Max had the best time in New Zealand and can’t wait until the next one, particularly now he’s on the best equipment for the job. Well done Max. Your new ride looks great and many congratulations to all involved.

Brandon drove all the way from Queensland to collect this amazing bike. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on this fully kitted BMW M1000 RR, from Procycles BMW Hornsby. Brandon is a long-term RR owner, upgrading from his S1000 RR, which he loved and saw no reason to change, until he saw this stunner. Totally loaded with extra carbon, full Akrapovic titanium carbon exhaust system and hardly been ridden. This is about as good as it gets, outside of the World Superbike Series pits. This bike will really turn heads when Brandon rides it round his local haunts. And people are going to hear him, long before they see him.

Johnny has been on a BMW since he was three years old. Here he is riding pillion in 1982, with his slightly older brother up front, both on their Dad’s 1981 BMW R65. This was Johnny’s first memory of motorbikes, and he’s always wanted a BMW Boxer ever since. 43 years later, Dad is still very much alive and now living in Ireland, and yes, he’s still a motorbike nut. Now after 13 years of working in Botany, Johnny has just finished up his role, so he treated himself to a new motorcycle. He took advantage of the Procycles BMW Sydney huge Demo sale and saved big money on this gorgeous R12 nineT retro classic. After taking delivery, Johnny penned a note to our BMW sales guy Sean; “Beautiful ride home, itching to get out for a ride over the next few days! Many thanks for all your help and making the purchase so enjoyable.” 

Nicolas is one of our specialist BMW technicians at Procycles BMW Sydney. He spends his working day fine-tuning customer’s BMWs and now he owns one! Nicolas was doing a 40-point health check and prepare for sale on this beautiful S1000 RR trade-in. It was in such good condition he kept it for himself. Who could resist wanting to own the world’s best all-round Superbike. The BMW S1000 RR just keeps getting better and better. With what started out in 2009 as a race-oriented sport bike, initially made by BMW Motorrad for homologation, so they could compete in the Superbike World Championship, has year-by-year, undergone ongoing development, with more power, lighter weight, better electronic packages. Subtle, but performance-enhancing improvements that keep this machine ahead of the competition. Just ask Toprak, the current WSBK champion. And even though it wins world championships, unlike its competition, the S1000 RR has not lost any of its versatility. Nicolas can still ride it comfortably to work, negotiate the traffic and arrive refreshed and exhilarated. Enjoying every second of his journey.

This gorgeous BMW R12 Highline is Mark’s sixth motorcycle, that Procycles BMW Sydney can remember. He transitioned from a Bonneville T100 to a BMW F700 GS, then back to a Bonneville T120, onto a BMW RnineT, and now he traded his Speedmaster 1200 onto the R12, a modern cruiser with a retro twist, easy handling, comfortable riding position, and stylish design. The R12 is powered by a 1,170cc boxer engine, producing 95 bhp [70 kW] at 6,500rpm and a peak torque of 110 Nm at 6,000rpm. Not a lot of horsepower, but when you ride the bike it has way more grunt that the specs suggest. The solid torque really punches this unit along. It’s a stable, user-friendly ride at speed and you can happily cruise, sitting upright, very comfortably in the saddle. Mark’s R12 HL [Highline] variant additions include the Comfort Package with Hill Start Control, Gear Shift Assist Pro, Heated Grips and Cruise Control. He also gets a Passenger Kit, Tyre Pressure Control, ConnectedRide Control and Pro Headlight.

Peter likes a bit of competition. He has been a regular Quad bike racing competitor for quite a while, and he thought he might bring some of that weekend excitement to his daily commute on the street. Peter got his motorcycle licence and then started to look around for a good second-hand bike. That’s when he saw this hardly used Kawasaki Ninja 400 at Procycles Kawasaki Sydney. Peter got lucky with this one. The bike was immaculate and not expensive. The Ninja 400 was Australia’s best-selling LAMS bike, before it was superseded by the 500 version late last year. It was number one because new riders loved its light, easy handling, comfortable and adjustable riding position, super reliability, ample but gentle power characteristics and solid, stable surefootedness negotiating traffic or out on the open road. At Procycles, trades and used bikes don’t get to our showroom floor until they have been through our workshop for a 40-point health check and pimp for delivery process. Some dealers are happy to “wash them and list them.” Not at Procycles. We take immense pride in presenting our pre-loved bikes in the best possible condition. We ride and we get it. We want to give our customers a new bike experience, no matter what they are buying.

Mauro rides for fun. The excitement that KTM delivers every time. He’s a KTM man and was on a KTM 690 SMC R previously. Now he’s stepped up to this beautiful KTM 890 SMT. A move that’s guaranteed to get Mauro’s orange blood pumping every time he rides it.This long range supermoto weapon is what you get when you add a touch of touring to a large serving of unbeatable tarmac performance, and finish with a strong splash of Supermoto handlingthat rockets the KTM 890 SMT to the top of the midweight sport-touring segment.The new 890 boasts 103hp and a similar torque rating as the bigger 990 it replaces. Mauro is on a winner with this one. It’s lighter, more comfortable, more fun, and safer. And on closer inspection, it just looks like it’s made better with a higher quality finish than the previous SM models. TheKTM 890 SMThas tonsof stopping powerwith great Brembo feel and the ABS works nice and predictably. But the WP adjustable suspension is the best part. At Procycles KTM Sydney we really liked this bike. One of the best all-rounders we have seen.

Caroline took advantage of the BMW Demo Sale at Procycles BMW Sydney and picked herself up a bargain, a new BMW G310 R, her first LAMS approved motorbike. This is a great choice for an entry-level motorcycle. It has all the hallmarks of a BMW. The comfort and ergonomic features. The build quality. The 4-stroke performance, lightness and agility. The hi-grade components, ABS brakes and suspension. The BMW G310 R is the complete package and has everything Caroline needs. Including LED Indicators and LED lights, including a modern daytime running light, plus an Info Flat Screen. The BMW G310 R is an intuitive, agile ride thanks to the optimised engine with Ride by Wire and anti-hopping clutch, whether Caroline is off to work, to an appointment, or just out of the city. She had a friend ride it home to more familiar streets and less traffic, where she would feel a bit more confident trying it for the first time.

Matthew looked at quite a few pre-loved BMW R nineT Racers, before he found this one at Procycles BMW Sydney. He wasn’t all that impressed with the bikes he had seen previously, but his spirits lifted considerably when he saw this immaculate example at St Peters. The R nineT Racer is a retro classic and we reckon that in a few years, these models are going to become very collectable. The R nineT Racer uses the same 1,170cc boxer twin and modular frame as the original R nineT which debuted in 2014. That means 108hp and 116Nm on tap. This is a beautifully balanced motorcycle. It looks so stylish and sounds utterly gorgeous. At Procycles, our workshop insists that all our trade-ins get a 40-point health check and we go to great lengths to present each model in its best possible condition. To us, every bike we sell is special. We want all of our customers to have a new bike experience, no matter what they buy. Procycles have been doing this for over 50 years. We all still ride and we get it.

Matt is a returning Procycles BMW Sydney customer and has traded his M1000 R onto the latest BMW 1300 GS with ASA, Adaptive Vehicle Height Control and the Pro Enduro Package. Matt does a lot of distance riding and whilst he absolutely loved the excitement of his M1000 R, he found himself venturing further and further afield, and now needs the comfort and the capability of a R1300 GS. The best-ever Adventure Tourer. Equipped with a full BMW Luggage combo, Matt can just head for the horizon, knowing that he now has BMW’s performance, reliability, navigation, safety and comfort, all working seamlessly and in sync, just for him. It’s a great feeling and worth every penny. Procycles have been selling and servicing BMW in Sydney for over 50 years. There is a lot of trust involved in buying an expensive motorcycle and you need to be sure your dealer has the experience to deliver the right advice and support, before and after your purchase. Every motorcycle we sell is important to us. We still ride and we still get it.

Troy called us at Procycles KTM Sydney, from somewhere in Victoria, on the hunt for one of the rare 2024 KTM 890 Adventure Rally models. Fortunately, we had one available. After some back-and-forth discussions, we reached an agreement, and a great price. Troy wasted no time securing the bike. Eager to collect his new ride, he booked the first available flight up to Sydney. Being so close to the airport, it was only a short cab ride to Procycles. Same day, Troy was signing the paperwork and picking up his bike. Without missing a beat, he set off on the long ride back to Victoria, ready for new adventures. He rang ahead and said he’ll be home for dinner! That’s what we love about KTM customers. Nothing stops them. No boundaries. No problems. Only solutions. Always ready for the next challenge. The Orange Spirit is alive and well.

Forty years after getting his first BMW, a K100 RS, Ed has just picked up his new BMW R1300 GS from Procycles Hornsby. Ed undertook some amazing outback adventures in the 1980’s, but has been without a motorcycle for 30 years, until he recently retired, bought an electric motorcycle and became the first person to ride one across Australia from Perth to Sydney. He then backed up that feat by riding another electric bike from Sydney to Darwin … via Birdsville! After ticking those boxes, Ed approached our team at Procycles BMW Hornsby to explore the option of getting a second bike to take on even more ambitious motorcycle adventures. The logical choice was the BMW R1300 GS that offers the comfort, dynamics, range and tremendous torque that Ed was looking for as an alternative to his electric bikes. Procycles worked with Ed to prepare his R1300 GS Trophy, equipping it with forged Wheels and header protection covers. And we are all looking forward to seeing where this bike takes Ed on his future travels. One thing’s for sure ... he’s going to be a lot more comfortable.

Anthony was riding round on a GSXS750. Gotta love those Gixxers! But eventually he decided a new bike was the go. Anthony rang us at Procycles Kawasaki Hornsby to check on the availability of the next best thing … a brand new 2025 Kawasaki Z900. Hopefully in silver / white. We had the bike in stock and Anthony came straight down to take a closer look. He really liked the seating position and styling of the bike. Plus the comfort levels achieved by the adjustable controls, all the hi-tech inclusions and the safety features that riders have come to expect from Kawasaki. Anthony placed a deposit that day, we prepped the bike for him and it wasn’t long before he rode off on his beautiful new machine. We don’t expect to see Anthony for a while. These Kawasakis are so reliable and trouble-free, they just never come back. Apart from their scheduled service intervals of course.

Karakat came into Procycles Kawasaki Sydney looking for information and our recommendation on new bikes. She asked the sales team lots of questions and we suggested a few conservative models, as you do with a girl on her red P’s. Karakat went away and we didn’t see her for a while. Then she was back. After careful consideration, she made her decision - she wanted a new Ninja 500 SE KRT 2025 limited edition special! We were surprised to say the least. This model is about as good as it gets in the 500cc class. The exclusive Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) replica colour and graphics are a giveaway as to what lies behind the fairings. The Ninja 500 SE ABS features LED turn signals, a large clear Windshield, a Pillion seat cover, Frame sliders, a USB-C outlet, a Tank and Knee pads, plus a Radiator screen. And the electronic aids include an anti-lock braking system. Max hp is 51hp @ 10,000 rpm  and torque is delivered at 31.7 lb-ft at 7,500 rpm. These bikes are so popular, that normally we have to special order them, only after we receive a deposit. But Karakat was in luck. We actually had one available and due in a few days. We quickly got the bike prepped, registered, and all the paperwork done, so it wasn’t long before Karakat was riding off on her brand-new bike. Totally confident and looking totally cool.

Casper just took delivery of the new 2025 BMW C400 X ion from Procycles BMW Sydney. This “King of Scooters” will be perfect to get him around the city and off to school without having to worry about timetables, late buses and train strikes. Plus, on his new C400 X ion, Casper will stay in touch with the world around him. BMW has the best Connectivity Systems. He can easily connect his smartphone and use numerous functions such as make and receive calls, listen to his favourite beats or navigate his way via the shortest route with the BMW Motorrad Connected app, all visible on the 6.5" colour TFT dash screen. Casper’s BMW Scooter is also safe, powerful and easy to ride with Automatic Stability Control, ABS Pro, Rear preload adjustable suspension, Dynamic brake light, Electronic Immobiliser, LED indicators and lights, 12v socket, Centrestand and Flexcase for heaps of storage.

Juan has just scored himself our Procycles BMW Sydney F900 R ex-demonstrator, for a really big saving off the normal ride away price. Juan’s new BMW F900 R is a dynamic roadster that’s loaded with the best of BMW’s technical features and electronic equipment, to deliver a thrilling ride. This is an under-rated, but we think, one of the best models in the BMW range. The 900cc parallel-twin motor has an excellent power delivery. It’s rideable, responsive, and ready to go at any stage of the rev range. With enough grunt to get Juan’s adrenaline racing, it responds with intuitive precision and accuracy. The BMW F900 R puts out 77 kW max. power (105 hp) with 92 Nm max. torque at 6,500 rpm. Juan has the choice of road or rain riding modes. The ride quality is great. The bike is light and handles really well. Brakes are excellent and there’s a super-cool view of everything happening on the TFT screen.

Brian is like a lot of our Procycles BMW Sydney customers – he’s a total motorcycle fanatic. And he has been riding for as long as he can remember. Brian is no stranger to big bikes and in the mix he’s owned a number of GS Adventures. When Brian thought it was time for another change, he came in to check our stock and spied this very tidy BMW R1250 GS Adventure 40-Year Anniversary edition. This bike was a trade that went straight into our workshop for a 40-point check and pimp for delivery. It arrived out the other side with a clean bill of health. With their new GSA these guys have all they need to head for the horizon and see a lot more of Australia. Have fun and we hope to see you out there … somewhere.

Peter has had his eye on the R12 nineT Option 719 ever since its launch.  He’s had a few bikes over the years, but so far never experienced the totally different power delivery of a BMW boxer engine. Peter’s new R12 nineT puts out 80 kW (109 hp) at 7,000 rpm. The Option 719 model gives him lots of exclusive add-ons like; Tyre Pressure Control, ConnectedRide Control, Heated Grips, Cruise Control and Pro Gear Shift Assist, plus the ‘Soul Fuel’ Retro Style Options; of the Single Seat and Classic Billet Pack parts. And how good does it looked with the gorgeous brushed aluminium tank and rear cowling, set off by the red frame. It was fortunate timing that Peter saw our Procycles BMW Sydney recent price promotion on the brand new Option 719 and jumped at the opportunity. Peter picked it up first thing Saturday morning and hopefully made the most of the amazing weather over the weekend.
