New BMW RiderWear Jackets!

Berlando was on our doorstep, at Procycles Kawasaki Sydney, right on opening time, keen as to start exploring our range of Kawasaki motorcycles. First off he was amazed by our collection, so many more green bikes than he had seen in any of the other stores he visited. He was particularly interested to see we had the latest Kawasaki ZX-6R KRT in stock, the bike he was really interested in. Berlando was on the money. The latest ZX-R raises the bar in the mid-size Supersport class. The potent 636 cc engine is controlled by advanced electronics and newly designed Integrated Riding Modes which combine Kawasaki TRaction Control and new Power Modes. Berlando also gets new Ninja styling, new LED headlights and turn signals, new TFT colour instrumentation and new Smartphone Connectivity. There is also an updated Intelligent Anti-Lock Braking System and Quickshifter, After spending a day contemplating his choice, Berlando made his decision. First thing the next morning, he returned to our store and purchased his dream bike and was back later that day to pick it up. Let the good times begin.

This Kawasaki 2024 ZX-6R 40th Anniversary model is a very limited edition motorcycle. Andy ordered his early from Procycles Kawasaki Sydney, after he saw the launch of the 40th online. That was six months ago. We couldn’t even tell him how much it was going to cost. He didn’t care. He just wanted one. So you can imagine how pleased Andy was to get the call to say come and get your bike. The Championship-Winning ZX-R, inspired three-coloured livery, looks amazing. The lime green, pearl crystal white and blue colours conjure up a desire to push all the boundaries and smash the Supersport competition, just like these bikes did back in the day. Fortunately for Andy, this new recreation has been optimised for the street and with its sport riding credentials comes a practicality for everyday riding. Including some modern features like the 4.3” TFT colour instrumentation with Smartphone connectivity. Congratulations Andy. This motorcycle is really something special and we don’t think we can get another one. For love nor money.

Allan hails from the Central West and has been around motorcycles since Adam. He’s the real deal motorcycle racer. Alan’s a previous Australian Safari winner and has participated at every level of the sport. A real icon. And Alan has owned everything from dirt bikes to big GS’s, but finds scooters the most practical for around town, or to put on the back of the caravan when traveling. He just updated from a Forza 350 to a new BMW C400 X Ion, the best solution to Urban Mobility available. Compared to his previous Honda, Alan’s in for a real treat. His BMW C 400 X Is more than a means of transport. With new Ride by Wire and 25 kW (34 PS) at 7,500 rpm on tap, Alan will be cruising through urban traffic with superiority while listening to his personal soundtrack thanks to the optional BMW Motorrad Connectivity. Alan also gets ASC, ABS, Electronic Immobiliser, LED Indicator, Headlight & Taillights, 12V Socket, On-Board Computer and Centre Stand. Plus heaps of convenient storage space. And by choosing the ion upgrade, Alan adds a Daytime Riding Light, Keyless Ride, Colour TFT Display w/ Connectivity and the Comfort Package: Seat Heating and Heated Grips.

Andrew knows his way around Superbikes. He’s a good mate of ours at Procycles Hornsby and we are helping Andrew work through the various options. Andrew started his journey with us on a BMW S1000 R Super-Naked Roadster, then switched to a “Beast.” The KTM 1290 SuperDuke R, with its near one-to-one power-to-weight ratio of V-twin grunt. Andrew loved his SuperDuke, until he saw BMW’s M1000 R. Like a lot of our customers, Andrew couldn’t resist. The M1000 R’s stunning looks and power stats are next-level. The amazing electronics package, the M-quality components, the rider-assist packages and the WSBK race-proven DNA across all the platforms, just can’t be beaten. The International motorcycle magazines are calling the M1000 R the “Bike of the Year.” Andrew says it’s a “keeper.” This time we believe him.

Anthony has scored himself an awesome KTM 300 Hard Enduro at an amazing price! He bought it from Procycles KTM Hornsby who are doing super deals across the KTM range. Prices that will amaze you. Anthony’s Hard Enduro is a special edition. The KTM 300 EXC Hard Edition utilises the same engine, chassis, technology, and suspension as the standard 300, but adds a raft of equipment that has it ready for hard enduro events such as Erzebergrodeo and Red Bull Romaniacs. Added features include protection equipment like closed hand guards, clutch slave cylinder protection, composite skid plate and brake disc guards. Also, an orange frame, a factory wheelset, a map switch, 6 Days Extreme tyres, a composite skid plate, orange-anodized CNC machined triple clamps, and a radiator fan. Plus a HardEnduro bar pad, ODI lock-on grips, a ribbed diamante factory seat, a Supersprox stealth rear sprocket, an orange-anodized oil plug, and front and rear pull straps. And all the 2024 two-stroke EXC models benefit from an all-new chassis, refined closed-cartridge suspension, fresh bodywork, and new throttle body fuel injection technology. We are not sure what Anthony has in mind, but with his HardEnduro, what ever it is … he has it covered!

After a test ride, Brendan was so impressed with BMW’s C400 Scooters he decided to buy two - one for himself and one for his son, from Procycles BMW Sydney. The C400 GT & C400 X are BMW’s answer to Urban Mobility. In a market full of scooters with suspect origins, its nice to have the assurance that the BMW brand and its reputation for uber-quality and reliability is part of the deal. The BMW C400 X and C400 GT run on a single-cylinder 350cc singe-cylinder engine, with 34hp and 35Nm torque. They are so easy to ride with a twist and go throttle, and a CVT transmission powertrain. The Connectivity systems are amazing and these scooters are fast, stable at speed and will hold their own on the freeway. BMW has taken scooter convenience to the next level with its Flexcase, a unique storage compartment located under the seat that can be extended downward via a flap in the rear base when the bike is parked. The storage space creates a dirt-resistant and waterproof environment – plus there are two additional compartments in the front section, operated via a button. The right-hand storage compartment includes a 12-volt power socket for convenient charging, while a USB adapter is available as an accessory. And the scooters also come equipped with a cleverly designed kinematic centrestand that makes propping up the bike convenient and effortless.

Brodie is new to riding on the road and was really keen to get mobile as soon as possible. He came to see us at Procycles Kawasaki Hornsby, within two hours of getting his L’s. Brodie had already decided on the all-new model Kawasaki Ninja 500. We prepped the bike for him and he rode away, same day. The new Kawasaki Ninja 500 was only released to the Australian market a week ago. This model replaces the Ninja 400 – Australia’s most popular-selling motorcycle. And Kawasaki has stuck to the winning formula with the new middleweight 500. There is an obvious increase in capacity to 451cc, now housed in a lightweight trellis frame, with Uni Trak rear suspension and a familiar relaxed riding position to fit a variety of riders. Thanks to Kawasaki’s legendary ERGO-Fit ergonomics. Brodie also gets LED headlights and tail light and all-new high-contrast full LCD instrumentation and smartphone connectivity.

Arthur was happily riding around on his Ninja 400, until he happened to be checking out the new bikes at Procycles KTM Sydney and he saw the amazing prices on the new model KTM 390 Duke. Procycles are currently offering massive discounts across the KTM range and when Arthur saw just how much he could save, he rushed out and sold his Ninja privately and came back with enough to buy himself a new bike. These new KTMs have never been cheaper, and you should see the prices on KTM SX Motocross and EXC Enduro bikes. But you need to hurry if you want to save. Once this lot have gone its back to normal. It’s no wonder Procycles is the biggest selling KTM dealer in Sydney. Don’t you get left behind, get Ready to Race at Procycles. Come in to our KTM landmark store at St Peters and experience a whole new buying experience.

When Brendan decided it was time to go bush, he came into Procycles BMW Hornsby and traded his BMW F800 R on the perfect adventure companion, a BMW F850 GS Trophy. This bike is equipped for adventure right out of the factory. It’s robust, uncompromising and ready for the most difficult challenges. It puts out a respectable 90 hp (66 kW) at 8,000 rpm, enough power to overcome boundaries and transform obstacles into possibilities. Brendan is getting ready for his off-road adventures by making his BMW, his BMW, also fitting a Luggage pack, Panniers, Tank bag and TFT screen protector. So if wonder what that strange stirring is in your sub-conscious. If you have a penchant for wanderlust, it’s probably just adventure flowing through your veins. Procycles can fix that. We can change your horizons. Come in and take a look at the 2024 range of new generation R1300, F900 and F800 GS machines. In the bush, no one can hear you scream … with delight.

Andrew was looking for an entry-level, dual-purpose motorcycle, with a few provisos .. the bike had to be reliable and strong, even though it was only a small capacity off-roader. At Procycles Kawasaki Sydney, we showed Andrew the Kawasaki KLX230 S which comes in two colours. He immediately grabbed the grey version. This agile bike features a quick-revving 233 cc engine, lightweight chassis, long-travel suspension, and styling updates including a new front fender and LED headlight. Fuel injection provides easy starting and crisp throttle response. The result is a consistent ride on paved streets, dirt trails and where ever fun is to be found.

Brandt came in to see us at Procycles Kawasaki Hornsby, looking to get into adventure riding, after spending some time on a KTM road bike. But Brandt was very particular. Forget all the bells and whistles, he wanted to make sure that he got a bike that was good value for his money. As well as being totally reliable, be able to handle the odd off-road spill and be comfortable and competent on-road. He liked the idea of the KLR650 Adventure, reliable, robust and already optioned up with the sorts of things that an adventure rider needs. The KLR650 motorcycle is built with escape in mind. It has a dual-purpose capability and a reputation for enduring reliability, so all Brandt has to concentrate on is the adventure at hand. For decades, the legendary Kawasaki KLR 650 platform has inspired countless stories from rough terrain all over the world, and Brandt’s new KLR Adventure is about to make a lot more memories.

Brad’s timing couldn’t have been better when he rang us at Procycles Hornsby looking for a sports bike to complement his KTM dirt bike. Brad wasn’t having much luck with the other dealers he was talking to. They just didn’t get Brad was looking for the same level of excitement on the road as he gets from riding his dirt bike. Brad mentioned he wanted a 600 Super Sports and our sales guy John had just traded this immaculate 2018 CBR600 RR with full service history, that we had not even had a chance to advertise. This bike is a firecracker and fits the brief perfectly. Brad put his money down, sight unseen, and two days later was riding out of there on exactly what he was after. He couldn’t have been happier. Why not! He scored a great bike in excellent condition at a good price. Good customer service puts a smile on our face to. Have fun Brad, see you up the Old Road mate!

There has only ever been one bike on Bruno’s bucket list. The BMW S1000 RR M Sport. Bruno came into the Procycles BMW Sydney dealership knowing exactly the spec he wanted. And fortunately, we were able to source the only one left in Australia. Less than a week later, Bruno was riding away on this ultimate 210hp superbike, meticulously engineered to redefine the standards of speed, agility, and precision, for all those who refuse to give up one single millimetre or millisecond. The BMW S1000 RR M Sport is loaded with exclusive M components and the M carbon fibre wheels which give it an edge around corners that will have Bruno rounding up the locals with confidence. Bruno headed out for the weekend saying he’d be back next week for his first service. We love it when our new bike owners use and enjoy their motorcycles.

Brendan bought a Ninja 1000 SX off us a few months back. Secretly he always wanted to own a KTM SuperDuke R, but resisted the temptation for a few years. Eventually the dark side won and Brendan realised that life was too short. At Procycles KTM Hornsby, we offered to trade the Ninja and Brendan is now the happy owner of KTM’s awesome Super Duke R, the mighty 180hp, 1290cc V-Twin with a massive 140 Nm of torque. It doesn’t get much more exciting than this. A lightweight frame with forged aluminium triple clamps. 48mm WP APEX forks with electronically controlled damping. 4-piston BREMBO Stylema floating caliper brakes. Hi-end traction control, anti-wheelie functionality. Cornering ABS. Nine ride modes with a Bosch EMS and an amazing electronics package to sync it all together, in real time.

Ben is a long-term, loyal customer and a good friend of us at Procycles BMW Hornsby. Ben is also a real GS devotee. He loves them and for good reason. Ben has become very attached to his old BMW R1200 GS. He’s done over 155,000 klms on the bike with no issues whatsoever. It’s never let him down. So when it came time to think about buying a new generation BMW R1300 GS, for Ben the biggest issue was parting with his “old faithful.” Ben just couldn’t bring himself to trade it … we told you he was loyal! So the only solution was to … have two GSs in the garage. With no disrespect intended to his R1200, Bennie is going to love his new 1300 GS even more. The difference riding these two bikes will be like chalk and cheese. The new bike is smaller, lighter and a lot faster. Loaded with the latest electronics and rider assistance systems, it will be so much easier to ride. Benny ordered his new R1300 GS in Triple Black with Gold Wheels. So it comes looking gorgeous, with lots of options, including the Dynamic package, Innovation Package and Touring Package. For Ben … it’s time to fall in love all over again.

BMW’s new generation R1300 GS units are now arriving at Procycles BMW Sydney and we are busy prepping the bikes for delivery. It’s a great feeling to be able to contact our lucky customers and give them the good news … the bikes they ordered last year are finally here and ready to ride. Customers like Barry who replaced his R1250 GS Rallye with the new BMW R1300 GS Triple Black, optioned up with the Enduro Package Pro. Barry gets extra Handle Bar Risers, Engine Protection Bars and Guard, Short Hand Levers, Enduro Foot Rests, Adjustable Gear Lever and Brake Levers, Rear Frame Protection, Single Seat Exhaust Bracket and Front Stalk Indicators. These new R1300 GS motorcycles are amazing. No other bike in this category offers such a variety of optional packages. Riders can order a new GS to exactly suit their riding style and needs.

Ben has always had naked bikes, starting with an Inazuma 250 back in the day and progressing over the years to a Street Triple. All good bikes … but a touch pedestrian … i.e. lacking interest; ordinary; dull. Not at all like Ben. He always wanted something with a lot more get up and go. Plus he was missing out on all the benefits modern technology has brought to bikes. So after careful consideration and a lot of online research, Ben turned it up to 11 and put his money down on a new KTM 890 Duke R. This is a no-compromise mid-weight naked bike, with more power [89kW], more torque [99 Nm] and more everything than any parallel twin in its class. It only weighs 189 kg and the full tech package is amazing. Bosch 9.1 MP Cornering ABS. WP Apex Suspension. Brembo Stylema Monobloc four piston, radially mounted callipers. Ride-by-wire and a PASC anti-hopping clutch. A real step-up for Ben and a whole lot more fun. Congratulations mate from the whole Procycles KTM Hornsby team.

Brent is a loyal BMW rider, a long term Procycles Hornsby customer and best of all a good bloke who’s well-liked by all. Brent was happy riding his BMW GS Adventure, until just recently when he started to have thoughts about a sportier ride. He wasn’t quite ready for clip-ons and rear-sets, but wanted something in-between. A powerful 100 kW [136hp] sports touring bike with an upright seating position, like he was used to, a similar top-shelf BMW ShiftCam Boxer engine and something with very stable, surefooted handling that he can also tip into corners … the BMW R1250 RS. The new RS is as quick as it is comfortable. The low centre of gravity and dynamic suspension system gives it incredible stability and control and the riding modes allow you to dial the bike to perform exactly as you like it. Brent ordered his with forged wheels and the Billet Shadow package. This is the best sports tourer on the market and Brent is going to enjoy it so much. Well done mate.

Alan was on the lookout for a good used MT-07 for quite a while. He wasn’t having much luck until he saw this pristine example, a trade at Procycles Sydney, in St Peters. Like all of our used motorcycles the MT-07 had been through our workshop for its detail and prepare for delivery process, to ensure the next buyer has the best possible “new bike” experience. When Alan saw just how good the MT-07 was presented and its immaculate condition, he had to own it. If you’re in the market for only the best pre-loved motorcycles, come into the store or check out our inventory online @ bikesales.com.au.

Bhalchandra was browsing in Procycles KTM Sydney, looking for needed some basic transport. With a tight budget in mind, he didn’t expect to be able to buy something loaded with the latest tech and hi-quality components. Bhalchandra saw the ‘23 model KTM 200 Duke and how functional it was, he looked at the special price and the deal was done. This bike is cheap enough, but it’s not all about the price. This little compact pumps out 18.4 kW @ 10,000 rpm with loads of torque: 19.3 Nm @ 8,000. The 200 Duke has an exposed, powder-coated steel trellis frame and suspension duties are handled by upside-down forks at the front and a rear preload-adjustable monoshock unit. For braking, the motorcycle uses a single disc at the front and rear supported by ByBre calipers. Moreover, it gets dual-channel ABS that can be turned off for the rear wheel. Bhalchandra also gets a colour LED dash and an all-LED headlamp.

Anthony bought himself a Husky 401, but soon realised it didn’t do it for him. So he came into Procycles KTM Sydney looking for a better option. How about a fantastic Moto3-inspired little pocket-rocket, with amazing performance, razor-sharp handling, super-strong braking and great ergonomics. The KTM RC390 is all that and more. Let’s talk power: The RC390 makes 32kW at 9,000 rpm and 37Nm at 7,000 rpm. It’s biggest competitor, the YZF-R3, makes 30.9kW of power at 10,700rpm and 26.9Nm of torque at 9,000rpm. By George! The RC390 whips the R3 when it comes to real-world, usable torque – and at much lower revs. The RC390 weighs 159kg. Its WP APEX suspension is a fully adjustable 43 mm fork offering a massive 30 clicks of compression and rebound adjustment, as well as pre-load. EMS is by Bosch and the electronics feature a three-axis IMU and thus you get Cornering ABS and on/off traction control. The PASC anti-hopping clutch is mechanically operated. A neat feature of the ABS is you’ve got the Supermoto Mode, where Anthony can disengage the rear ABS and back his RC390 into corners. And the 5” full colour TFT dash is one of the most impressive on the market today, given the price.

Adam came into Procycles BMW Sydney to snap-up the last BMW R1250 GS Rallye available. As we all know, the new generation BMW R1300 GS is on the water and will be at Procycles very soon. But Adam knows the R1250 is still a great bike. After 40 years of constant development, the older GS’s will forever be strong in our psyche. I wish we had a dollar for every time a GS owner has said this is the best bike ever. The GS range’s enduring and broad appeal stems from its excellent handling, versatile performance, comfortable ride, comprehensive features, and renowned durability and reliability. It’s a capable corner scratcher as well as a comfortable highway cruiser, great for loading up with a passenger and gear, and for its size, surprisingly capable off-road. Despite being a big bike you can throw it around like a dirtbike, with its low centre of gravity. This is the ultimate all-rounder … its like the Swiss Army knife of motorcycles.

Beata and Witold have been riding a smaller cc scooter which just didn’t deliver enough power, especially two-up. And they were over having to get the old scooter serviced every 500 klms. So they came into Procycles BMW Sydney to take a closer look at the BMW C400X ion, an exemplary combination of looks, performance and practicality. The C 400 X ion is a maxi-scooter that ticks all the boxes. And recent improvements have made it even better. Including chassis updates, a new 350cc single-cylinder engine which develops 25kW and 35Nm, making the 400 a zippy city commuter and a quite reasonable highway machine, even two-up. Fuel economy has improved, and it’s quiet, too. The new high-definition TFT screen is bright, clear and offers plenty of information. You can link it with your smartphone and a BMW app to give maps and more, plus (via a suitable helmet), Bluetooth music and voice calls. The keyless start is handy, and the LED lighting makes for safer night riding. ABS braking is first rate, with twin discs up front, and one at the rear. The ASC, or stability control system, works on the brakes and the accelerator to limit torque in marginal conditions. The “Flexcase” expandable under-seat cargo arrangements allow you to fit up to two helmets, while the bike is parked. Like many of our recent customers, Beata and Witold took advantage of the current BMW promotion with $1,500 off the ride away price of the bike.

Ben has owned a Kawasaki H2 previously and could wait to pick up his new one, from Procycles Kawasaki Hornsby, after we fitted it with a Vandemon exhaust. Ben’s newer model Supercharged H2 is fitted with Kawasaki’s most advanced electronics package to date. With Bosch’s five-axis IMU and the latest software evolution, Kawasaki’s next-generation ECU moves into live-data-driven, active systems capable of building a real-time data map of what the bike is doing. In addition to intelligent ABS, the H2 comes equipped with launch control, intelligent traction control, and a cornering management function that suppresses the bike’s tendency to stand up while braking mid-corner. The system processes live IMU data to calculate and maintain optimum hydraulic brake pressure based on the bike’s lean and pitch angles.

Ben has grown up on rural properties, so, from an early age, has always been riding bikes around the farm. He’s also been taught real country values. Look after your machinery and it will last you for years. Just like his motorcycles. He’s coming of a 2002 Dakar onto a ‘23 model BMW F850 GS. Ben was originally looking into the new F900 GS due to arrive mid-April, but when he saw the current Procycles Sydney promotional prices on the F850 GS, it was too big an opportunity to pass up. Why wait when you can save heaps. Ben was straight off to show his mate in Manly the new bike, and then he was making plans to go find some bush down south, just to make sure it’s all ok, before he heads back home to show his family.

Alexandre is a cool guy who has been interested in a KTM 790 Adventure R for quite a while. When he saw that Procycles KTM Sydney, had this ’22 model at an amazing run-out price, he decided it was time for an upgrade. Alexandre wanted to get a lot more serious about his off-road riding, but it’s always a compromise when you also have to commute. That’s why the KTM 790 Adventure R is just perfect for him. Developed from KTM's offroad race DNA, the KTM 790 Adventure R is a real-world, travel capable, offroad motorcycle, equipped for the most extreme escapes. Pumping out 95 hp (70 kW) and only weighing 189 kg, combined with a full electronics package, WP Apex suspension, 21- and 18-inch wheels and with an estimated 450 klm fuel range, it is the perfect enduro bike … that Alexandre can ride to work.

Angela was riding a KLR, but she found it to be a bit too heavy for her to be comfortable when she turned off the road and manoeuvrability in tight spaces was an issue. This was an easy fix. When Angela told the guys at Procycles BMW Hornsby her problem, they sat her on the BMW G310 GS and Angela immediately relaxed into the fit. And she was particularly taken with the Kalamata Gold colour scheme. With her confidence back, Angela was planning some adventure rides, so we fitted a Top box and Pannier kit so she has heaps of overnight storage and she treated herself to a new pair of Falco adventure boots, to ensure her feet remain in good shape.

Anthony was looking for a motorcycle that was a lot more comfortable on longer trips. He sat on a few of the bikes at Procycles Kawasaki Sydney and then he saw the new ’24 model Kawasaki Z900 RS, in its brilliant new Blue/Black colour scheme. This truly iconic retro-looking has real cred on the street. And whist it may be a retro classic, under the skin the Z900 RS is crammed with Kawasaki technology. Features like Traction Control, Slipper Clutch, LED lights, Horizontal Back-Link suspension and Kawasaki’s Ergo-Fit, so that Anthony can dial his riding position and ensure everything is comfortably within reach. Anthony likes his motorcycles to have a ‘beefy’ sound, so we saved some weight, made the power more efficient and gave the bike a real bark by fitting an Italian SC-Project exhaust, hooked up to Akrapovic titanium headers. And it sounds amazing. Procycles are the biggest stockist of SC-Project mufflers in Australia and we have a product specialist on staff. If you have any queries or would like to know what difference an SC-Project Muffler will make to your ride, ring Adrian on (02) 9564 8010 or take a look at the range in our webshop – procycles.com.au

Michael has made the perfect start to his riding career by purchasing BMW’s G310 GS from Procycles BMW Sydney. And with his new bike he lashed out and wisely bought the best helmet we had … a BMW Carbon XOMO helmet. Despite Michael’s helmet purchase, he’s actually quite budget-conscious, so the 310 GS makes a great choice. The bike is lightweight and very nimble handling which makes it great in the city. Michael can really carve through the traffic when he commutes, then on the weekends he’ll find the G310 GS’s suspension, ergonomics, and off-road abilities, a great entry-point to having fun on the trails and dirt roads.

Amos waited patiently for four months for his very rare, special factory edition BMW M1000 RR Competition to arrive at Procycles BMW Sydney. This thrilling update from BMW sees the already awesome M1000 RR bike get a dynamic makeover with the introduction of the M Competition Package. The update will redefine Amos’s riding experience, bringing both enhanced performance capabilities and a new exclusive visual appeal to his superbike. The Competition package adds cutting-edge aerodynamics and a level of M Sport componentry and equipment too comprehensive to detail here. The power and acceleration statistics, the electronics package, the braking capability, and the handling characteristics promise a stylish and powerful riding experience, without compromising safety. Judging by Amos’s smile, the wait was worth it.

Allison and Brad were HD riders. A few weeks ago, they embarked on a GS Safari of sorts, riding new BMW F750 GS’s on a 10-day trip through Morocco. They were absolutely blown away by the experience and when they returned to Australia, they were straight into Procycles BMW Sydney, placing deposits on two F750 GS’s. The jetlag hadn’t even worn off, but they knew what they had to do! Although Allison has an emotional attachment to her Harley and will be keeping it, she said it feels agricultural compared to the BMW. We were happy to assist with some additional accessories like the BMW Vario Top boxes and some new riding gear including jackets and helmets. The journey doesn’t end here for Allison and Brad. It’s just the beginning. They’ll be going straight home to get the maps out. Where to next?

Andrew is a returning Procycles customer. He was previously riding around on a 200 Duke, just for the sheer convenience. Then one day he decided he could have a lot more fun, and venture further afield, on a real bike. Time to upgrade. Gary started to look at the trades we had at Procycles BMW Sydney, when he saw a used BMW R NineT Urban GS. He took it for a test ride and loved it. But when we sat down to crunch the numbers and Andrew saw our Procycles promotional prices on a new machine, then we showed him this stunning Imperial Blue Metallic BMW R nineT, glistening in the sun, he went for it. Who could blame him. This classic roadster may look retro on the outside, with its purist looks that stem from over 90 years of motorcycle design, but under that skin it has all the latest BMW technology, to enhance Andrew’s riding experience. Built from the highest-quality materials and careful workmanship down to the smallest detail, the R nineT also has ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Light, LED lights and Indicators, USB Charging, Engine Braking Control, Dynamic Traction Control, Adaptive Headlight and the Comfort Package of Riding Modes Pro, Heated Grips, and Cruise Control.

Antonio was lucky enough to score the first ’24 model Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX, from Procycles Kawasaki Sydney. With his new bike Antonio gets the best of two worlds. This remarkably versatile motorcycle has all the track day performance coupled with a supreme capability for two-up touring, supported by superior power, advanced rider support electronics, and a variety of intuitive features which contribute to the overall rideability and comfort. A force to be reckoned with on the track or for weekend trips. The Ninja 1000SX seamlessly blends the best of sport touring and superbike technology to deliver an exhilarating ride. The powerful inline four-cylinder engine delivers major top-end power and strong mid-range performance. The power delivery is responsive and comes with an intoxicating intake howl. The Ninja 1000SX is intelligent and responsive, equipped with a Supersport-grade, multi-sensing ABS brake assistance system. Plus, an electric cruise control system activated by a simple press of a button.

Braydon has scored himself a new Kawasaki Ninja 650L, a solid bang-for-the-buck choice that shows he knows. The Ninja 650 motorcycle comes packed with a sporty 649 cc engine, next-level technology advancements and sharp styling. The unmistakable sport performance is met with an upright riding position to keep Braydon’s daily commutes comfortable and safe, without losing that level of excitement that keeps us coming back for more. The Ninja 650 puts out 37.8 kW @ 8,000 rpm, with 57.0 Nm of torque @ 4,800 rpm. The high-tensile steel trellis frame makes the bike light, manageable and easy to ride. The Ninja 650L is hard to beat for commuting, fun longer rides and weekend blasts with your mates. At Procycles Kawasaki Sydney, we might be Kawasaki’s newest dealer, but we have been here for fifty years. Come in and let us show you a very different Kawasaki buying experience.

Antonio has enjoyed riding fast superbikes bikes and he’s owned a few BMW S1000 RR’s. Then he thought he would like something individual and genuinely unique. Still a sports ride, but with a lot more comfort. He came into Procycles BMW Sydney and we showed him the BMW K1600 Bagger with Option 719 Midnight. With the K1600 B, sportsbike power is no problem. The legendary 1600cc six-cylinder engine howls, a power delivery unlike anything you have ever experienced. Virtually eating up the road ahead of you. Totally unique in every way, including the Option 719 Midnight paintwork, depicting an entire galaxy design. No two bikes are the same. BMW has developed a complex water transfer process for the first time in motorcycle series production. A time-consuming and labor-intensive process that starts with Meteoric Dust II Metallic paint and then a motif of the galaxy is applied from a backing film, activated in a water bath. In this process, pigments separate from the backing film and start to float on the surface. The corresponding panel is immersed in this bath to make the pigments adhere to it. The positioning of the graphic, the shape of the parts, the immersion angle and speed are paramount, making each part a unique section of an entire galaxy. Finally, parts are finished with a high-gloss top coat. The rest of the K1600 B is also unique. New lighting technology is state-of-the-art: thanks to the full LED adaptive headlight, whizzing you around bends in a much more dynamic way. The navigation quite literally also sets new standards. In full-screen mode, the display stands out with its 1,920x720 pixels in full HD resolution. It doesn't get any better than this.

When Harsha came into Procycles BMW Hornsby to collect his new ’23 model BMW F900 XR, we asked him if we could take a happy snap. No problem. When we were done Harsha said, “I’ll take it from here.” He wanted to write his own copy. No problem. Here’s what he said: “I decided to buy a BMW from Procycles as their reputation as a BMW dealer was top notch. Switched from a MT07 Tracer to a F900XR. Brent and John were exceptional in their service and got me a fully loaded BMW with great pricing too!” What Harsha hasn’t told us is that his new BMW F900 XR is designed for those who want the best of both sport riding and long-distance touring. The engine makes a healthy 105 horsepower, that coupled with multiple riding modes, means Harsha can use it all. The bike comes with a comprehensive list of standard equipment, including the latest in high-tech features. Harsha gets Dynamic ESA, Adaptive Cornering Light, a bright and easy-to-read TFT display with BMW’s Connectivity setup, a 12V socket for accessories, adjustable hand controls, height adjustable windshield and LED lighting all around

Neven has been riding big ticket performance bikes for years and he was pretty much over listening to his mates constantly telling him how good BMW’s S1000 RR bikes were and how he was missing out. Everybody says they are on the best bike … anyway how much difference could there be? So he decided to quietly get into Procycles BMW at Hornsby and take a closer look at the new S1000 RR. We showed Neven the new RR M Sport, he did his research and next thing he put his name on one that was on its way to Australia. Neven’s about to experience the next level in Sportsbike performance. Blisteringly quick acceleration. Superb handling and the best ergonomics and comfort of any bike he has ridden. The BMW S1000RR M Sport is loaded with exclusive M components and the M carbon fibre wheels give it an edge around corners that will have Neven rounding up his mates like never before.

Jason might be slightly vertically challenged, but hey at least he can get his toes onto the ground at the lights. And anyway most times he’s going to be feet up and charging through the scrub on his new ‘23 model KTM 690 Enduro R, from Procycles KTM Sydney. For Jason his new 690 Enduro R is the King of Versatility. He can ride it from home and lean into his favourite curves, just getting to his favourite off-road location. No trailer required. When he gets there, that’s when his KTM 690 Enduro R really comes into its own and the real fun begins. Its lightweight chassis, aggressive styling, and trusted 690 LC4 motor, are enhanced by the latest electronics and WP XPLOR suspension. The more extreme the trail gets, the more Jason can master the terrain.

Michael truly gets the best of both worlds with his new ’23 model Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX. It has the Ninja spirit craved by solo sportbike riders, but takes the concept further with real sport touring versatility … to share with a fellow traveller. The Ninja 1000SX now has increased seat comfort for both rider and passenger. The optimised seats are not the only attraction for longer touring adventures. The Ninja 1000SX has the tech for the ride. From traction control to cruise control, rider aid electronics, a slipper-style clutch, all LED lighting … real-world advanced sportbike technology. Then there’s the Superbike performance. A 1,043 cc engine producing 140 horsepower and 81.7 pound-feet of torque. At Procycles Kawasaki Sydney, we love selling these Kawasaki motorcycles … because they never come back! Except for the scheduled services of course.

Best mates Sam and Jay are ex-Harley riders who have quite a collection of bikes between them. They agreed and made a pact … no more motorcycles … then they saw the new BMW R18 100 Year Editions, at Procycles BMW Sydney. Well … maybe be just two more. Who could blame them. Who could pass on the dazzling looks and exclusivity of these gorgeous new R18 100 Year Cruisers. Only 1,923 units were ever made worldwide and now they already have an official collectors status, snapped up by absolute aficionados and sold out at BMW. The 100 Year edition conveys a feeling of nostalgia, with its historic features and plenty of chrome. For example, the drop-shaped fuel tank and white lines, an element that made the BMW R5 unmistakable, as early as 1936. And of course the unique boxer engine, in its most exclusive form. 100 years of soul in one motorcycle. Sam and Jay say they will keep the new bikes in the lounge room. No way will they be able to resist riding around on these beauties.

Brett trekked all the way from Lillian Rock, to collect his 2013 BMW G650 GS, from Procycles BMW Sydney. He trekked 621 klms to be exact. Lilian Rock is a small New South Wales town near Kyogle, a scenic 15 minute drive north of Nimbin. Lillian Rock is famous for its sacred Aboriginal landmarks, located next to Blue Knob Mountain. Why would you ever leave … one might ask? Brett has always been a man of the bush, accustomed to no frills things that work perfectly. That’s why when he saw our immaculate G650 GS he was right on it. And he made sure by coming down and collecting it personally. One of the best models ever made by BMW, this G650 GS still looks as good as it did ten years ago. Good to see its in good hands Brett. Alive and well in paradise.

Jingen was very lucky to take a late-night delivery of this beautiful BMW S1000 RR Sport. Procycles BMW Sydney was able to secure him a bike, probably the last one, as there is now a three month waiting time on new stock arriving into Australia. And this delay is likely to get longer, as more and more new superbike riders are realising the differences in performance and just how much better these bikes are to ride. For some time now we have seen a distinct shift away from the more exotic brands, to the legendary ergonomics, comfort, electronics and the spectacular but practical power of BMW’s superbike icon, the S1000 RR. If you are ready to enter the real world and ride a BMW, you need to talk to Procycles BMW now. No pressure. No commitment. Just come in and discuss your options. If you do decide to proceed, we can give you a realistic delivery time. We are Australia’s biggest and most experienced BMW Motorrad dealer because we care … and like you, we ride every day.

Kelvin hails from the far North Coast and he likes nothing better than to hit the open road and get some fresh air, on a big bore sports touring bike. Kelvin clocked up heaps of klms on his 1290 SuperDuke GT, but when he saw the new Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX, he knew it was time for an update. Kelvin checked his local dealers and they either couldn’t source him a bike, or didn’t want to know about his trade. He should have come to Procycles Kawasaki Hornsby in the first instance. We had his new H2 SX in stock and we were happy to trade his SuperDuke. Procycles might be Sydney’s newest Kawasaki dealer, but we have riding and selling bikes for 50 years, so we know a thing or two about what real motorcyclists want. Kelvin rode down to see us and left with his new Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX, heading home via Moree and then to the Gold Coast, just to run it in! Enjoy the new bike Kelvin, we’re all very jealous! If you live and want a Kawasaki Northside, ring us at Procycles on [02] 9910 9523. On the Southside try Procycles Kawasaki Sydney. We make Kawasaki dreams come true.

When Gareth went looking for a motorcycle with maximum Sports capability, he was temporarily side-tracked by an Aprilia RSV 1100. Gareth found out early he had the speed, but was missing the versatility and comfort required to ride his bike in the real-world. No problem. Gareth came to see us at Procycles BMW Hornsby. He tried the new BMW S1000 R, the sit-up superbike that inherited the BMW RR’s genes. Everything Gareth wanted … superb ride-all-day comfort and legendary BMW ergonomics, more useable power and an amazing electronics suite of rider aids and safety features, as only BMW can deliver. We traded his Aprilia and Gareth was off, heading to the nearest freeway on-ramp. Enjoy it mate. You got it all.

A late post for Chris who picked up his 2023 Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R on Valentine’s Day this year and what a way to show his love for Kawasaki’s screaming litre in-line 4 engine, after owning and trading a 2017 ZX10R model on the latest generation. Now he has a new TFT display, Electronic cruise control, Launch control modes, Cornering management function, Smartphone connectivity, a redesigned front end to reduced drag, keeping that aggressive appeal the ZX10R is renowned for, along with a bump in horsepower to take his riding to the next level. Well done Chris. Congratulations from the team at Procycles Kawasaki Sydney.

Jackson collected his 2023 KTM 890 Adventure yesterday. Jackson is new to the adventure bike scene, but what a way to start. This model is the most advanced middleweight in its class, with an off-road capability second to none. The KTM 890 Adventure R is packed with Rider Aids like Traction control, Cornering ABS and Rider modes that can be adjusted on the fly. The ‘23 model has re-worked WP EXPLOR suspension, Dakar Rally inspired bodywork [from the 450], a redesigned Windshield with dual functionality for an unobstructed view when on standing on the pegs, a 5” TFT display with integrated Bluetooth Connectivity, Turn by turn Navigation and quick access to KTM’s roadside assistance. Jackson’s riding experience is further enhanced with optional additions like a Quik-shifter and Cruise control and with the introduction of Demo Mode, Jackson can test the Tech Pack for the first 1,500 kilometres .. free. Enjoy your new adventure Jackson, from the team at Procycles KTM Sydney.

Lucky Waqar has collected this gorgeous 2023 Special Edition White Ninja 400 ABS, from Procycles Kawasaki Sydney. The Ninja 400 offers the largest displacement in its category with its sophisticated 399cc twin-cylinder engine, delivering useable power, superb ergonomics and class-leading performance. A low seat height and aggressive styling with LED headlights make the Ninja 400 the ideal choice for riders looking to enter the sport-riding scene. Waqar gets a smooth, manageable ride that's ideal for new riders, with all the features, power and handling to more than satisfy more experienced riders. Waqar is sure to turn a few heads when they see how good this bike looks in all pearl white. Enjoy it mate. It’s a beautiful motorcycle.

Lani has been riding trials and motocross bikes nearly all of her life. These days she thoroughly enjoys adventure riding and has the confidence to attack even the roughest terrain after her years of experience. Attracted by the BMW Safari rides later in the year, Lani visited the Hornsby BMW Procycles store, with her son Isaac, who is also an avid off-road rider. Lani went for a test ride on the BMW R1250 GS Adventure and the R1250 GS, so that she could be certain which GS model would best suit her height and weight. Lani felt most comfortable on the R1250 GS but she added some of the Adventure model extra equipment by Wunderlich. Lani had our workshop fit a set of Wunderlich Engine Bars, Wunderlich Cylinder Head Protectors and Wunderlich Upper Crash Bars plus a set of BMW genuine soft Panniers and Top Bag. Lani was all geared up and ready to set off on a new life adventure with all the right equipment to do the job properly.

Yufei has just collected her 2023 KTM 390 Duke. This model is a very cool, dark design and is loaded with ample features for a beginner rider to enjoy. Yufei was a little nervous with her decision at first, but she came through again for a trial run on our demonstrator, and decided this would be the perfect upgrade from her CB125. Sure Yufei’s new 390 Duke has a lot more power with its 44-horsepower, single cylinder engine, but the upright handlebar positions were a familiar feel. The big differences for Yufei will be in the new features: like a tidy switch block for the advanced TFT display, with additional Bluetooth pairing. Yufei also gets adjustable levers, ABS that can be disabled, inverted WP forks on the front with preload adjustment for the rear shock and ultra-lightweight cast alloy wheels. With a complete package like 390 Duke, Yufei will be tearing up the streets in no time. Congratulations from the team at Procycles KTM Sydney.

Greg is planning to completely change his life. He recently sold everything that doesn’t fit on his new bike! A BMW R1250 GS Adventure in Triple Black, with low suspension, from Procycles BMW Sydney. As a warm up, Greg is off on some short trips … around Australia. Then later this year he will ship the bike to Bali … and from there he is off on the ultimate adventure …. to ride around the world!

Greg has the right bike for the job. His BMW R1250 GSA was built for serious challenges. It’s made for impassable routes, adverse conditions and the most remote destinations. In the latest model, touring suitability and comfort has been further optimized to the highest standards. From driver assistance systems, lighting technology and advanced riding modes to a USB socket, the R1250 GS Adventure offers Greg everything he needs to explore the world. Greg wisely picked the Triple Black version which adds all the optional packages. He also purchased the personal essentials … a full BMW Luggage bundle in black, as well as his new BMW riding gear, BMW Helmet and a GPS …. so he can eventually find his way home.

Here’s Greg, pictured with our Business Manager, Marguerite. She’s just making sure Greg gets away safely.
