Yamaha R7 LA vs R7 HO: What Australian Riders Need to Know

Amogha has had his eyes on a new BMW S1000 R for a long time. When he saw the great EOFY Sale prices currently being offered at the Procycles BMW Hornsby and St Peters stores he soon made up his mind to pull the trigger. Our Hornsby BMW man Brent sorted Amogha out with this beautiful Bluefire/Yellow BMW S1000 R Sport, fitted with the all-important factory Protection pack. 

The BMW S1000 R Sport is a really great motorcycle. It’s a highly versatile hyper-naked that focuses the ferocious performance of the S1000 RR superbike into a more manageable, road-friendly package. Delivering an impressive 170 horsepower, it balances blistering acceleration with top-tier electronics and everyday street manners.

The comprehensive electronics package includes multiple Ride modes (Rain, Road, Dynamic) and features cornering ABS, Traction control, and Wheelie control. The Quickshifter and Auto-blipper are beautifully refined, allowing for seamless clutchless gear changes, complete with delicious pops and burbles on deceleration.

Jobin and his friends all go adventure riding together and the more they ride the more serious they are getting. Most of Jobin’s friends have already switched to BMW Adventure bikes. So, on recommendation from his good friend Deepak, he contacted Brent at Procycles BMW Hornsby to sort out a great deal on the BMW F800 GS Triple Black.

Jobin’s new 2026 BMW is a premium mid-weight adventure tourer. Featuring a blackout aesthetic, it is equipped with a punchy 895cc parallel-twin engine that pumps out 87 hp (64 kW) @ 6,750 rpm and 91 Nm @ 6,750 rpm of Torque. Jobin also gets advanced electronics like ABS Pro and Riding Modes, and a high windscreen as standard. The F800 GS Triple Black comes standard with a 6.5-inch TFT display, Smartphone connectivity, and multiple Riding modes. It also features LED lighting, Heated grips, a Luggage rack, and the factory High Windscreen. It also looks awesome in its Triple Black trim with distinctive Black Storm Metallic paintwork. And to celebrate the occasion, Jobin’s family came along to see him collecting his new bike. 

Bala had always loved the look of the BMW R12 nineT Highline. When he decided he just had to have one, Bala came into Procycles BMW Hornsby and our man Brent took him through all the features and then arranged a test ride. Bala was hooked with his ride. He sat straight down with Brent to discuss the details and order his options. It took a couple of months for the bike to be built to his specifications. The time flew by and it wasn’t long before Bala was back to collect his awesome new machine. Then Bala added engine protection bars to protect that amazing Boxer motor.

This modern retro masterpiece has a classic look on the outside, but under that skin it is loaded with the latest BMW tech, performance and safety features. Plus, the finish, paintwork and build quality is so good it could only come from BMW. Congratulations Bala. This a wonderful motorcycle.

Junyan is an avid motorcycle enthusiast who has always had a passion for high-performance bikes. When it came time to update, Junyan spent a considerable amount of time looking at his options in the Superbike category. After exhausting research and comparing all the litre bikes, Junyan decided that the one for him was this stunning Matte Black Yamaha YZF-R1. Junyan got in touch with the sales team at Procycles Yamaha in the City, at St Peters. We had a great chat and put together a deal that suited him perfectly.
Junyan’s new R1 is a championship-winning, MotoGP-inspired superbike, powered by a high-revving 998cc CP4 crossplane inline-four engine that develops 200 horsepower. The bike features Brembo Stylema brakes, fully redesigned KYB suspension, and an advanced comprehensive electronics suite. Created to represent the pinnacle of sportbike performance, Yamaha’s carbon fibre winglets not only add to the R1’s sleek, aerodynamic look, they create additional downforce for enhanced front-end feel when braking or cornering.
Congratulations once again, Junyan. We thank you for choosing Procycles and wish you many years of safe and enjoyable riding ahead. Enjoy your new Yamaha YZF-R1!

Kim has had a ball on his R1250 GS, getting out of the city, going on adventure trips with his friends, clocking up lots of klm’s and making memories. But there comes a time when you risk getting left behind, and your mates never stop reminding you.

Kim started looking at the latest BMW range and thought the F900 GS Adventure in Triple Black ticked all the boxes, particularly with the option of off-road tyres. He came into Procycles BMW Hornsby, almost ready to do the deal – until Kim’s mates got in his ear, telling him to forget the 900. What he really needed was a new BMW R1300 GS! It was only a matter of time before FOMO kicked in and Kim succumbed to their pressure. Just kidding, Kim loved the look of the all-new R1300 GS Trophy colour and he had a great time going through all the options, adding the Enduro Pack Pro, Auto Shift Assist, Adaptive Height Control and Forged Wheels to his order. Finally, his new bike arrived and now Kim can’t wait to get out riding with his mates. They are going to wish he bought the 900.

John is always welcome at Procycles BMW Hornsby. He’s back for his third bike from us, trading his R1250 RS for this quality second hand R1300 GS Trophy. 

This bike was a trade in good nick, but it still went into our workshop for a 40-point health check and a detail before it was allowed on pour showroom floor. Procycles want all of our customers to have a new bike experience … whatever they buy. We know John’s going to love the huge difference between his R1250 and the latest tech and development that’s so obvious everywhere you look on the new generation R1300.

Whatever road lies ahead, John’s got it covered. He now owns the ultimate adventure bike. The R1300 GS is the perfect combination of power, comfort, and agility, making it the ideal bike for any terrain. Long journeys, short trips, alone or with friends, no matter what he’s got planned, John’s in for the adventure of a lifetime. We’re really happy for him he’s a great customer and a top bloke. 

Dan is a great friend to Procycles BMW Hornsby and has bought lots of  bikes from us over the years. Lots of serious sport bikes. But sometimes Dan wants to just jump on, twist and go. Down to the shops, a quick commute, or off to a mate’s place.

So Dan popped in to see us and grabbed a BMW C400 GT ion, purely for the convenience. The perfect bike for when you are doing nothing special, without sacrificing style, safety, comfort and performance.

The BMW C400 GT ion has it all. A punchy 350cc single-cylinder engine (34 hp) plus 35 Nm torque @5,750 rpm and it’s equipped with the "ion" trim package, which adds the Comfort Package (heated grips and seat heating) and Connectivity Pro with a massive 10.25-inch TFT display. The features include large under-seat storage with the "BMW Flexcase" system, which expands downwards when parked to accommodate an extra helmet. And it comes standard equipped with Keyless ride, ABS Pro and Dynamic Traction Control.

Anthony previously had one of the first BMW R nineT’s and absolutely loved it. Since then, he’s always on the lookout to find a replacement. When it came time for Procycles BMW Hornsby to move their low klms R9T demo, Anthony was all over it.

The motorcycle presented beautifully in its Imperial Blue Metallic colours. A stunning example of this sensational retro roadster. The R nineT is comfortable, fuel-efficient and fun to ride. The seating position is comfortable, there is plenty of room for a pillion and the bike just oozes BMW quality in its finish and componentry. It might look old school on the outside, but under that retro skin is all the latest BMW tech, including ABS Pro, DTC and Riding Modes.

The BMW R nineT is fast, flexible and super-stable. It’s 110 hp [80kW] engine has massive bottom-end torque and a wide, wide powerband. It accelerates smoothly, yet forcefully, regardless of what gear you are in. A refined motorcycle with great balance, comfort and control.

Brett is getting back into riding and a long stint off the bikes and wanted a good all-round run about.  He took a closer look at the BMW C400 X ion at Procycles BMW Hornsby and sure enough this premium scooter had all the features he was looking for. 

Brett was especially keen on The C400 X’s amazing tech features and storage options. It also handles superbly, easily moving through the traffic. Around town its very flickable and great fun to ride, the preppy engine delivers smooth twist and go power. Take it to the freeway and Brett will be in the outside lane holding his own. The TFT dash is excellent and easy to read – hook it up to your smartphone and BMW’s Connectivity lets you listen to music, get directions, check your vitals and receive calls. 

Steering clear of uncertain rising fuel prices doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style, comfort, prestige and convenience. The C400 X gives you all the advantages of two-wheel urban mobility, plus the knowing you are riding a BMW, with its quality build, technical superiority and the very best safety componentry to deliver an unforgettable riding experience.

Be like Brett. Come in and take a look at our Procycles Hornsby and Procycles St Peters scooter range.

David is progressing through his motorcycling journey in a sensible way. He started on his Yamaha R3 and has now moved on to a Yamaha R7 as his next upgrade. David saw Procycles Yamaha Sydney’s 2.99% PA Road Finance offer and was quick to take advantage of the low rate before it all ends on the 30th June.

The 2025 Yamaha R7 is still LAMS approved, but you would never know it! This lightweight Supersport is powered by Yamaha’s proven 655 cc CP2 parallel-twin engine delivering strong torque and responsive acceleration across the rev range. Built around a lightweight chassis, it features fully adjustable suspension, powerful dual front disc brakes, and precise handling. Inspired by Yamaha’s R-Series race bikes, the R7 has LED lighting, and a focused sporty riding position giving it a true Supersport feel, while features such as an assist & slipper clutch and available quick-shifter enhance rider control and comfort.

Adriano took delivery of the first 2026 model BMW F900R in this beautiful, vibrant Snapper Rock Blue Metallic colour scheme, from Procycles BMW Sydney.The colours are not the only addition to the F900 R. The new model of this premium middleweight naked roadster features more tech, racier ergonomics and direct weight reductions of 1.8 kg, achieved through lighter alloy wheels [borrowed from the S1000 R. Now the bike is exceptionally flickable and the handling more precise. It also features 43mm inverted front forks and a rear monoshock. With the optional Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) allows riders to switch between plush road settings and stiffer dynamic modes on the fly. Powered by an excellent 895cc parallel-twin engine delivering 105 horsepower and 93 Nm of torque, with subtle changes that make it morerideable, responsive, and ready to go at any stage of the rev range. 

Mehmet's son is stoked. His Dad bought him an XMAX 300! He was riding an NMAX around but wanted more power and size.

The 2026 Yamaha XMAX is a premium sport scooter that combines urban practicality with long-distance comfort. It’s powered by a smooth and fuel-efficient Blue Core single-cylinder, paired with a fully automatic CVT transmission for effortless twist-and-go riding. It features LED lighting, Traction Control, ABS brakes, and large 15-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels that provide stable, confident handling in both city traffic and highway cruising. Premium technology includes a dual-screen TFT/LCD dashboard with smartphone connectivity and navigation, Smart Key keyless ignition, USB-C charging, and an electronically Adjustable Windscreen for improved comfort. With spacious under-seat storage capable of fitting two helmets, a comfortable riding position, and refined suspension, the 2026 XMAX delivers a stylish, practical, and highly capable riding experience for commuters and touring riders alike.

Bruce recently bought himself a CF Moto to cruise around on, but he found the seating position didn’t suit him and he couldn’t get comfortable. So, Bruce came in to see us at Procycles Kawasaki in Hornsby, to check out our latest Cruiser range. One sit on Kawasaki’s Vulcan S was all it took. Bruce instantly settled into Kawasaki’s legendary Ergo-Fit ergonomics system. All the controls within reach and a natural upright, easy cruising, all-day seating position.Ergo-Fit is a game-changer for riders of all shapes and sizes. Bruce can adjust the handlebars, footpegs, and seat to suit. If you are tall, short, or somewhere in between, you’ll also find a setup that works for you [we counted 18 possible configurations,] Bruce ordered the Full Power Vulcan S, [there is also a LAMS version]. This Vulcan is an absolute ripper. It’s not like other cruisers that feel out of their comfort zone when you push them. The Vulcan S is balanced, agile, and genuinely fun to ride. The Ninja derived frame and low centre of gravity make it a breeze to handle, whether you’re threading through Sydney traffic or having a scratch up on the Old Road. The suspension set-up soaks up bumps without sacrificing support. The 705mm seat height means most riders can get both feet flat on the ground, adding to the confidence-inspiring package in traffic and when parking.

Brent heads up our Procycles BMW Hornsby showroom. He was really looking forward to taking his trusty BMW 1250 GSA down to Tasmania for the GS Rally a few months ago. What Brent didn’t know was that he would be leaving it there, after a mishap. Not to worry. It was a good excuse to trade up to an all-new BMW 1300 GS Adventure Trophy, fitted  with Adaptive Height Control, the Enduro Pro package and Forged Wheels and a Top Box. Brent also added a Wunderlich Extreme Bash plate, Wunderlich Headlight Protector, Bark Busters and STEDI Spotlights.

 Understandably, first day on the bike, Brent did the obligatory Putty Rd Loop and loved every minute of it. 

A bit of a change for Mick from his CBR1100 Blackbird to this immaculate BMW R1200 GS Adventure, in as new condition and with full-service history in its logbook with us. At Procycles BMW Sydney this is the perfect scenario. We originally sold the GSA, we maintained it, we traded it, and we can on-sell the bike to Mick with confidence, knowing that everything has been done right. When the GSA arrived back to Procycles, it went into our workshop for its compulsory health check, we addressed any issues and detailed the bike for our showroom. Now, for a motorcycle that’s over 15 years old, it looks amazing.

It’s so important to stick with your originating dealer, build a relationship and in the advent of something going astray, you have a better chance of being supported and your goodwill with the brand being recognised. All the best to Mick and we wish him many happy adventures.

Lisa came into Procycles Kawasaki Hornsby a week ago with Keith, one of our previous customers. She was in the market for her first bike and wanted to see all of the options available. We sat her on most of our LAMS approved bikes and she felt most comfortable on Kawasaki’s Z500 SE, everything fitted perfectly. This is a familiar story with Kawasaki’s LAMS bikes. Their Ergo-Fit system lets you tweak your comfort level so that everything is within reach. 

The 2026 Kawasaki Z500 SE Supernaked features a 451cc parallel-twin engine, combining 33.4 kW of smooth power with a lightweight of only 167 kg, so it’s really easy to handle. The Special Edition (SE) adds a full-colour TFT display, USB-C outlet, unique graphics, and premium accessories like a pillion seat cover and frame sliders

Lisa didn’t hesitate but to place a deposit and then came in this week to pick it up. She scored a helmet and a pair of gloves too. The Kawasaki Z500 SE is $10,121 ride away and now comes with a free $500 fuel voucher.

John and his BMW F800 GS have been in a very happy relationship for many years, sharing great times and making lots of memories together. A bit like a marriage … except a lot cheaper. When the time came to replace his old faithful, only a brand-new BMW F900 GS Enduro would do.

 The BMW F900 GS a significant, "hardcore" off-road-focused upgrade from the previous F850 GS, featuring a 14 kg weight reduction and a more powerful parallel-twin engine. It offers superb, fully adjustable Showa/Sachs suspension, making it highly capable on dirt. The Enduro variant adds a few extras, namely keyless ignition, cruise control, preparatory hardware for BMW’s navigation system, tyre pressure monitoring and M Endurance chain. 

Paul is a very knowledgeable rider with a keen eye and an interest in the finest motorcycles in the world. He had been searching for something truly special — something exclusive in design, speed, power and sound.

Paul saw that Procycles Sydney, at St Peters, was NSW’s exclusive Bimota dealer and we had a very rare Bimota Full Carbon Tesi H2 in stock. This motorcycle was one of only two available for sale in all of Australia. 

The Bimota Tesi H2 is powered by Kawasaki’s 1000cc inline-four supercharged engine. Hand built in Italy using premium materials, this machine is truly in a class of its own. With only 250 Tesi H2s produced worldwide, and just 80 finished in Full Carbon. The bike also features its own unique steering system known as Dual Hub Centre Steering, completely removing the need for traditional front forks.

A very special congratulations to Paul on his purchase of the Full Carbon Bimota Tesi H2, an incredibly exclusive machine and one of the rarest motorcycles available today. But don’t despair, there’s still one left - in case anybody out there is interested.

Nuo had been riding a Kawasaki Ninja 400 and came into Procycles Kawasaki Hornsby to step up to a brand-new Ninja ZX-4RR. A great move. The ZX-4RR is a high-revving Supersport that pumps out 76bhp from its liquid-cooled 399cc inline four-cylinder engine that really howls when nudging it’s 16,000+ rpm powerband. Weighing only 189kg, the ZX-4RR has a superior power-to-weight ratio to the competition, the brakes are predictable and the bike handles perfectly thanks to a nimble, balanced chassis. And Nuo had our Procycles workshop fit a pair of Oggy knobs just in case.



The ZX-4RR is amazing value at only $15,950 ride away. The bike looks stunning in nostalgic lime green colours and the power delivery makes It feel more like a 600 to ride. Smiles are guaranteed once you give this little screamer a wind up.

Greg is another mad-keen adventure rider who knows the only motorcycle that will do the job is BMW’s R13000 GS. Like a lot of us, Greg has ridden everything, reads all the material, keeps track of the latest models, ignores the armchair experts and comes back to the Boxer-powered BMW every time. At Procycles BMW Sydney, at St Peters, we get it. We don't need to reinforce the features of these bikes, we just concentrate on delivering a far superior BMW buying experience.

And doesn’t Greg's new GS look stunning in the latest White Aluminium Metallic Matt colour scheme. Model by model, these bikes just keep getting better and staying way ahead of the competition. The latest R1300 GS is lighter, more powerful, and features a technologically advanced redesign that sets a new, tighter standard for large-capacity adventure bikes. It is roughly 12 kg lighter than its predecessor, the old R1250 GS, producing 145 hp and 149 Nm of torque, resulting in superior handling, faster acceleration, and more agile off-road performance.

Matthew was looking for a solid dirt bike. Nothing too crazy, but nothing boring either. He was deciding between the Kawasaki KLX230 S and the KLX300, so he came in to have a chat with the team at Procycles Kawasaki Sydney for more information on both bikes. Matthew found himself leaning towards the 2026 KLX300. He pulled the trigger and he was able to pick it up the very next day.



Good choice Matthew. This highly versatile lightweight dual-sport is has a fuel-Injected, 4-stroke single cylinder engine and an electric start. It’s designed to deliver usable torque in the low to mid-range before spinning freely into a strong top-end.



The KLX300 is LAMS approved and one of the only true, dual-sport trail bikes onto market.Suspension is enduro-derived. Up front, a fully adjustable ø43 mm inverted cartridge-style fork with compression damping adjustability. Fork guards and seals protect against rocks and dust. Out back, the Uni Trak gas-charged shock features a remote reservoir with adjustable preload, rebound, and compression damping. Together, the long-travel suspension delivers excellent bump absorption and off-road confidence.



True to its dual-sport nature, the KLX300 is equipped with a 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear, fitted with off-road capable tyres. The spoked wheel design balances rigidity with durability for rough terrain.

At Procycles Kawasaki Sydney we keep promising a unique buying experience. Sometimes this means home deliveries to suit our customers sometimes crazy timetables. No problem for us to do a late-night handover for Luke who was desperate to get a hold of his new Kawasaki Z500.

This new super-naked street stunner is ideal for a new rider but still has enough performance and features for those with more experience under their belt and just looking for a reliable no fuss commuter.

The Kawasaki Z500 is just so easy to ride. It’s a real featherweight but feels super-solid. Even loaded with a full 14L of fuel it only weighs 167kg. Handling remains neutral, responsive, and agile, and the parallel twin engine delivers smooth, powerful acceleration with strong acceleration throughout the rev range. And it has all the latest tech with a high-contrast Full-LCD Dash and Smartphone Connectivity.

Andrew had a brief flirtation with a Ducati, but it wasn’t long before he was back to Procycles BMW Sydney for a brand new BMW R1300 Trophy X. Andrew’s a returning Procycles customer, so he knew where to go for a motorcycle with real, all-terrain adventure capability.

Andrew is an off-road enthusiast and that’s why he’s opted for the “X” variant of this GS model. The Trophy X is highly refined, lighter, and more agile. Experienced adventure riders have called it the ultimate "outback super tourer". It features a potent 1300cc engine, upgraded suspension, and superior off-road electronics. It excels at technical dirt riding while maintaining high-speed comfort, and it addresses many critiques of the older R1250 GS. Andrew also had our Procycles workshop install a lot of additional accessories for this best-in-class off-roading GS.

Jim got his rocks off for a while on a BMW M1000 XR, the high-performance 999cc inline-four, with 201hp, explosive acceleration and advanced electronics. BMW says it combines racetrack capability with long-distance comfort. But comfort was the last thing on Jim’s mind when he was riding the World’s Fastest Sports Tourer, capable of a top speed over 275 km/h (170+ mph).

But now it’s back to reality for Jim, and back to a Boxer engine and the real long-distance comfort of the latest BMW R1300 RT Impulse.

The 2026 BMW R1300 RT, particularly with the optional high-spec "Impulse" pack, is the luxurious yet surprisingly sporty "new king" of touring motorcycles. The Impulse variant has specialized aesthetic and performance upgrades and even more advanced touring features.

Even standard, the new RT comes with every conceivable performance and safety feature, including advanced tech, Adaptive Cruise Control and optional Automatized Shift Assistant (ASA). The 1300cc boxer engine produces 145 hp and 110 lb-ft of torque, offering incredible, punchy performance while maintaining all-day comfort-oriented ergos.

Craig came into Procycles BMW Hornsby for a test ride on one of our BMW R1300 GS demonstrators. He loved it so much he bought our other one. Craig went for the Trophy variant because it was fitted with Adaptive Height Control, Automated Shift Assist and also the Enduro Pro Package.

His 2026 BMW R1300 GS Trophy features a White Aluminium Matt Metallic / Racing Blue Metallic colour scheme. It’s designed for off-road use with special sport suspension, engine skid plates, and gold cross-spoke wheels. The powerful 1300cc Boxer engine, with BMW Shiftcam technology, ensures Craig gets maximum performance no matter where he is in the rev range. It’s a top-tier adventure motorcycle that delivers an agile riding experience on any terrain.

Samuel and his wife love going on adventures. He had a smaller bike and they went on lots of trips together. But it was all a bit cramped and not that comfortable. Time to upgrade to the next level with the BMW F800 GS Sport, from Procycles BMW Hornsby. Samuel kitted out his new ride with a Top Box to make it even comfortable for his very important pillion. It was so cool to see these guys enjoying the experience and making plans for their next big thing. Wherever they decide to go, the ride will be so much more of everything on a BMW. The BMW F800 GS Sport is a punchy, accessible, comfortable mid-weight adventure bike, ideal for road-focused touring with an off-road capability. It features an 895cc parallel-twin engine with 87 hp. Standard it offers a 6.5-inch TFT screen, LED lighting, Heated grips, and a USB port. B\y choosoing thje Sport variant, Samuel also gets the High Windscreen, Tyre Pressure Control and the Comfort Package: Keyless Ride, Navigation Preparation, Cruise Control, and Luggage Rack with Case Holders.

Matteo updated his BMW G310 R to a brand-new BMW F900 R, from Procycles BMW Sydney. A wise choice. Model by model, the F900 R has evolved into an incredibly premium and polished middleweight naked, powered by a 105hp parallel-twin with a 270-degree crank that sounds great and will propel the rider to a top speed of over 200 km/h (134 mph), with some riders reporting up to 230 km/h.

The latest model receives refined racier ergonomics, technological updates and fully adjustable forks, to compliment the great brakes, comfortable seating, and sporty feel. 

It’s not a rocket ship … but it is very rideable, responsive, and ready to go at any stage of the rev range. And the handling is impeccable. Sharp and easily controllable.  You can confidently manage superbike levels of lean angle without touching.

The BMW F900 R is a lot more than comfortable everyday commuting.

Adam was very lucky to be able to find a new BMW S1000 RR Sport. He did the right thing by approaching Procycles BMW Sydney. The response from most dealers was there is no stock available. But Procycles are Australia’s biggest dealer, so even though stock is limited, we were able to get Adam hooked up.



There is a reason why these motorcycles are so rare. The BMW S1000 RR Sport is a top-tier superbike that balances ferocious 210hp track performance with surprising road usability. It features advanced electronics, 30mm wings for downforce, and an improved, user-friendly, refined engine with strong bottom-end, and a comfortable, yet aggressive, riding position.



The ShiftCam engine is highly tractable, with a 210hp power delivery that’s smooth and manageable. It also has 113 Nm of torque and a "quick throttle". It features advanced, top-notch, intuitive electronics, including cornering ABS, traction control, and multiple riding modes.



Owners praise the S1000 RR for its incredible agility. The handling is often described as being "telepathic," precise and stable in corners, especially with the optional carbon wheels. This is a superbike you can live with. The creature comforts include cruise control, and effective wind protection.

Michael already has a BMW M1000 R for when he needs some excitement on the road and for when he needs to test himself on a track day. So, when Michael came in to Procycles BMW Sydney he was looking for a bike that was not too taxing to ride but still has good power and a great vibe. The new BMW R12 G/S fitted the brief perfectly. Michael loved the styling and the retro looks. And, as with every BMW, the very high level of finish and feel was immediately noticeable..

Michael is about to find out this jacked up off-roader is a capable scrambler with a cool engine and enough suspension and protection to ride pretty hard when he gets off-road. Truth is, thanks to its torquey air-cooled boxer engine and natural balance, it's genuinely easy and enjoyable to ride both on and off-road. The riding position is excellent. The wide bars give great leverage, and standing on the pegs is really comfortable. The rider aids are excellent - intuitive and unobtrusive.

Michael will also be surprised by how good the transmission feels. A 21" front wheel and a tall first gear makes riding on dirt/gravel roads lots of fun, until he clicks up a notch and things get serious.

Eos upgraded from Honda CMX500 to this beautiful BMW R nineT with the iconic brushed aluminium tank. She was recommended by a friend to come and see us at Procycles BMW Sydney. Eos sat on a few of the bikes, but she kept coming back to the R nineT. It was a little tall for her, but she insisted, and sure enough, after a timid start, she came back on the bike a few days later, full of confidence and handling it like an expert.

The BMW R nineT is that sort of bike. Really comfortable. Well-balanced and easy to ride. And under that retro skin, the R nineT is packed with the latest BMW tech features. This sensational roadster could be the best retro motorcycle of all time. In the last 10 years BMW has made and sold over 106,000 examples and variants. Not surprising. The R nineT is simple and authentic. A motorcycle that combines history and technology, perfect for real motorcyclists looking for a motorcycle that’s totally reliable, works perfectly and has a quality build and finish that only BMW can achieve.

Dov made it simple. He came into Procycles Kawasaki Sydney for a Z650 LAMS but changed his mind when he saw the brand new 2026 model Z650 S LAMS and took that instead. The ’26 model had only just arrived and lucky Dov was the first to ride one away.

This new Z650 S is updated with a stronger focus on styling, comfort, and modern tech. The “S” update brings a more aggressive design with improved ergonomics, including a more forward-leaning riding position for better control and comfort. It also adds upgraded electronics such as traction control, a modern TFT display with smartphone connectivity, with optional quickshifter support. 

It produces around 67 hp and 64 Nm of torque, offering smooth, flexible power that suits both city and weekend riding, while the lightweight trellis frame and 41 mm telescopic fork keep it agile and easy to handle. 

Ben decided to get serious about saving money and beating rising fuel costs. He came into Procycles Yamaha Hornsby to take a closer look at the Yamaha XMAX 300. This is a brilliant scooter to commute on, but it also has heaps of power and performance features to keep you up to speed and safe on the freeways. Yamaha’s Blue Core engine, delivers 27.6 bhp and the XMAX features include a 4.2-inch TFT display, smartphone connectivity, adjustable screen, and smart key ignition.

And right now Yamaha is offering the Yamaha XMAX with a No Deposit, 1% Yamaha Finance deal. And the Ride Away price is only $10,499 for this premium scooter.

If you want your independence back and get free of the system, call Procycles, your new Yamaha Scooter Specialist Dealer in the City at St Peters [02] 9564 8000 or on the Northshore, call Procycles up at Hornsby and speak to Connor on [02] 9910 9530.

Phil is a BMW Boxer fan from way back and has owned multiple BMW R1200 GS Adventures, R1250 RT Tourers, an R1300 GS and now finally back onto a R1250 GSA Ultimate Edition, from Procycles BMW Sydney.

Phil was originally looking for an R1250 GS, but he just couldn’t look past this fully loaded GSA Ultimate, with Option 719 luggage, originally purchased from us and coming to him with a complete service history at our dealership.

The 2024–2025 BMW Ultimate Edition is a limited, high-spec send-off for the R1250 platform before the R1300 GS took over. Based on the Triple Black variant, it featured extensive blacked-out styling, an Akrapovič exhaust, comprehensive touring/comfort packages, tinted windscreen and exclusive "Ultimate Edition" badging.

Phil’s new ride looks stunning. Even though it was well used by the previous owner, it still looks brand new, thanks to our Procycles 40-point health check and pimp for delivery process. A must for all our trades and used motorcycles.

Kevin and his two boys have the answer to our current fuel crisis. They are going to dodge the gas stations and ride around for less. Kevin has had his L's for a while and wisely tested the waters on a rental scooter before he headed into Procycles Yamaha Sydney for a brand-new scooter of his own.

His two sons are also on their L's and can’t wait to get their own set of wheels. After having a good look at what’s available, Kevin decided on the 2026 Yamaha NMAX. It has everything he needs and was the best value for money.

Julian is an avid motorcycle rider with a long-standing passion for bikes. One of his all-time favourites has always been the Kawasaki ZX-4RR, and he’s been sweating on finally getting his full licence. Once the black papers came through, he was straight round to Procycles Kawasaki Sydney to turn his dream into reality.

Julian returned to Procycles, where he originally purchased his first bike, a trusty BMW G310R. After sitting down with our team, we were able to put together a deal that worked perfectly for him. He placed a deposit and within a few days his ZX-4RR was waiting, fully prepped and ready to ride. At Procycles we just love making dreams come true. The new 2026 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR is a revolutionary Supersport model. Its 400cc In-Line Four engine delivers class-leading performance in a compact chassis. The experience and exhilaration of the Ninja ZX-4RR’s power, thrilling high-rpm wail, and sharp, nimble handing will surely awaken the dormant Supersport within you.

If you have a favourite motorcycle that keeps creeping onto your wishlist, come in have a chat to the guys at Procycles Sydney. Even if you are not ready to go yet … no problem. Just let us know you are out there.

Li has campaigned a heap of GS Adventures and now he’s ready to mix up the garage and add a new BMW M1000 R to the lineup, he says for commuting …. but at Procycles BMW Sydney, we think otherwise. Once Li gets a taste of this awesome superbike meets naked roadster, and its race-bred four-cylinder engine delivery of 210 hp, with a top speed of 280 km/h, all under his control, he’s going to be heading for the highway.

But, then again, the BMW M1000 R's performance is infinitely more usable on the road, when compared to other brands of superbikes in this category.

With these big bikes … control is everything. Like the M1000 R’s suspension. Upside-down 45 mm telescopic forks up front, with electronic self-adjusting Dynamic Damping Control, allowing you to adjust the spring preload, rebound and compression stages.

On the rear Li gets an aluminum twin-sided swingarm, Dynamic Damping Control on the central shock absorber, with similar electronically adjustable stages. As you can see Li is absolutely over the moon. And the fun hasn’t started yet!

We like customers like David. He just got his L's and he walked into Procycles Kawasaki Sydney, at St Peters, knowing exactly what he wanted in a first motorcycle. Why wouldn’t he? David’s been dreaming of this day for years. His very own Kawasaki Eliminator 500. A modern, lightweight cruiser powered by a Ninja-derived parallel-twin engine that delivers heaps of smooth performance with strong low-end torque, making it so easy to ride. Perfect for a first-timer.



The low 735 mm seat height inspires confidence, especially with vertically-challenged riders who can get both feet onto the ground. The relaxed, upright riding position and legendary Kawasaki adjustable ergonomics mean all the controls are within easy reach and the bike has all the mod-cons you would expect. Like an all-digital dash display with smartphone connectivity and LED lighting. The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is an excellent choice for easy going commuting, cruising, and weekend rides.

Craig is on a motorcycle adventure and he’s doing it by the book. He’s steadily working his way through the ranks of BMW GS’s. Starting on a G310 GS, the stepping up to an R1250 GS Rallye and now the latest R1300 GS Trophy. All from Procycles BMW Sydney.



As the bikes get bigger and better, so does Craig’s interest and passion for off-road riding. On his adventure tours he’s always looking for the back way, the unsealed roads and single fire trails. Every ride is a test of his improving skills and the bike’s capabilities.



Craig has his work cut out for him trying to outride his new BMW R1300 GS Trophy. This is the ultimate adventure bike. The perfect combination of power, comfort, and agility, built to power over any terrain. It features a lighter 1300cc engine (145 hp), enhanced 149 Nm torque, improved, narrower ergonomics and exceptional handling, thanks to a lower centre of gravity, and sophisticated suspension. The Trophy variant has its features more focussed on the dirt, but its still supremely comfortable on the road. For you know what they say … have the fun is getting there.

Corrin has ridden away on three motorcycles from Procycles Hornsby. Just last week he traded his KTM 1290 Super Duke GT on the all new 2026 BMW R1300 GS Option 719, fitted with the amazing Automated Shift Assist Adaptive Height Control. Now Corrin can cruise to a stop and his BMW will automatically lower the seat height by 30mm for better footing. When he takes off it will raise back up to standard height for improved ground clearance and handling.



But the best bit is his choice of the Option 719 model. This show-stopper is a premium, highly accessorized variant of the R1300 GS, featuring exclusive paint finishes and high-end components. It emphasizes luxury and craftsmanship, including milled cylinder head covers, and upgraded seats. Other additions include the Touring Package, Dynamic Package and Electronically Adjustable Windscreen.

Matteo stepped up from his G310 R to a new BMW F900 R. The perfect transition. At Procycles BMW Sydney, we love selling these bikes because we think the F900 R could be the most civilized motorcycle in the BMW range. It’s versatile, tech-forward, and agile. A naked roadster featuring a sporty 895cc parallel-twin engine, producing 105 hp and 93 Nm of torque. 

Best known for its advanced, intuitive electronic package that makes it so easy to ride, delivering optimum performance with very little intervention. Plus, the 2025 model offers upgraded, adjustable suspension, lighter components, and refined, aggressive styling. We find that when our customers first sit on this bike, what appeals to them most is the upright position and overall ergonomics, everything within easy reach. The F900 R really is the ideal everyday commuter that seriously doubles as a weekend warrior that can hold its own on any old road.

Patrick came in to see us at Procycles Kawasaki Sydney with a head full of all sorts of Sports Tourer possibilities. He’s a very experienced rider and when you have been around for a while, you get to be very fussy. Why not … you’ve done your time and you deserve to ride the best. So our Procycles guys showed Patrick Kawasaki’s Ninja 1100SX SE.

This high-performance, sport-touring Ninja 1100SX SE is the fifth-generation of Kawasaki fine-tuning. An evolution that now delivers even more power and sharper handling. It features a 1,099cc inline-four engine (134-136 hp), premium Brembo front brake package with Intelligent Anti-lock, and an Öhlins S46 rear shock. It enhances the 1000SX formula with improved, more usable torque, electronic cruise control, an advanced IMU electronics package with Corner Management Function and TRaction Control. Plus, Power Mode selection and Integrated Riding Modes. Add a handlebar-mounted USB-C port, TFT full-colour instrumentation, All-LED lighting, a 4-way adjustable windshield and Patrick has everything he needs for some very fast, comfortable touring.

Patrick went over the bike forensically and then went home to think about it. But not for long. Soon he was back with a fist full of dollars and ready to ride it away.

After years of hard work Pete and Sue have earned their ‘me’ time. Now they are planning on doing loads of two-up riding and exploring. So, they chose the best motorcycle and the best dealer to make sure their dream was hassle-free right from the start. Pete and Sue picked up their BMW R1300 GS Trophy with Enduro Pack Pro, from Procycles BMW Hornsby.

And they ordered it fitted with the optional Adaptive Height Control feature, so much more convenient especially riding with a pillion. The BMW R1300GS optional Adaptive Height Control system automatically lowers the seat by at speeds below 25 km/h and when stopped for improved ground reach, raising it back up at speed. It enhances accessibility, stability, and makes centre-stand deployment easier by managing suspension compression.

Mark is a Procycles BMW Hornsby regular, he's owned a heap of adventure bikes and now that he is doing more and more riding off-road, Mark decided something lighter would be easier, so he came in to trade his R1250 GS Adventure for the all-new BMW F900 GS Enduro.

This F900 GS is the perfect enduro. Completely redesigned and optimised for the dirt with a 14kg weight reduction and an extra 15kW [20hp]. The real attraction is its focus on the off-road essentials. The improved suspension set up breezes over any terrain changes Mark will encounter. Travel is 230mm at the 21” front and 215mm at the rear. if you are loaded up with luggage or are unlucky enough to be carrying a pillion, the fully adjustable Sachs rear shock has a remote preload adjuster, making dialling in the correct ride height a breeze. And there’s an optional Enduro Pro package which even more suspension adjustment, higher handlebars, and an Akrapovič exhaust.

Mark says bring on the deep corrugations, unexpected ruts, washouts or rocky creek crossings. He’s ready for anything.

Here is another example of how good a Procycles bike looks after it has been through our rigorous 40-point health check and restore for delivery procedure. Here is a well-used, five-year-old, 40th Anniversary BMW R1250 GS in absolute, as-new condition.

The 2021 BMW R1250 GS 40th Anniversary edition celebrated four decades of the GS lineup with a distinctive "Bumblebee" black and yellow livery inspired by the classic R100 GS. It features premium "Option 719" parts, gold-finished wheels, and specialized yellow graphics on the windshield and handguards. 

Matt picked up this quality used bike from Procycles BMW Sydney, at St Peters. And for extra piece of mind, it came with a full-service history provided by the previous, careful owner. We can’t stress enough the importance of sticking to your service schedule, get the stamps in your book and always get your bike serviced from a reputable BMW dealership like Procycles. BMW Motorrad has an excellent reputation of honouring warranty issues and even good-will in proven out-of-warranty cases. But you must have the right stamps in your service book.

Matt came into Procycles KTM at Hornsby and wanted to put the cart before the horse. He was yet to get his L’s, but bought himself a bike whilst he was waiting. Matt was also the customer that scored the very last new KTM we sold from our Hornsby store. After more than 20 years with the brand, Procycles and KTM are going their separate ways. But our loyal customers shouldn’t worry, we will continue to service KTM machines from our workshops and support our riders like always.

In keeping with the milestone, young Matt got the super deal on his new KTM 390 Duke and we even threw in a free Quickshifter. Matt’s going to have the best time learning to ride his 390 – one of the best LAMS bikes on the market.

John was an existing Procycles KTM Sydney customer. He came in to replace the front tyre on his 1290 Super Adventure and walked out with the BMW R1300 GS Adventure Triple Black. He then loaded it up with the full BMW black alloy luggage and addition bag package. We were able to make this happen within two days and John was off in the search of lots more adventures on the world’s best premium long-haul Touring Enduro machine.

Featuring BMW’s distinctive 1,300cc Boxer engine with BMW ShiftCam technology, and all-blacked-out styling aesthetic with a tinted clear coat on the 30-litre fuel tank. The 1300 GSA also offers advanced rider aids, Matrix LED lights, and high-spec touring/dynamic packages. The Riding Assistant includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Collision Warning, and Lane Change Warning.

And you can order the optional Automated Shift Assistant - an optional system that removes the clutch lever, using actuators for automatic gear changes.

Ben caught the overnight train from Melbourne to Procycles BMW Hornsby to pick up his pre-loved BMW R1200 GS Adventure. Ben picked the train because he always thought it sounded like fun, but not anymore. He’s going to have a much better trip back, loping along on his GS Adventure, the big Boxer engine powering the King of Touring Enduro bikes. In half the time. Despite its age, this immaculate unit is a classic example of the way we present our used motorcycles at Procycles. This motorcycle looks brand new.

No stock gets to our showroom floors without first going through our 40-point workshop health check and detailing process, where we right any wrongs and pimp for delivery, to ensure every customer gets a new bike experience – new or used.

The last time we saw Jin at Procycles BMW Sydney he rode out on a BMW R nineT retro-roadster. Now Jin has decided to score himself the perfect zip around town transport on this new BMW C400 GT with extra SHAD Top Box storage.

This C400 GT oozes BMW high-end build quality. It’s a comfortable, agile mid-size "maxi-scooter" ideal for urban commuting and light touring out on the highway. It delivers 34hp from a 350cc single-cylinder engine, and has strong, predictable braking.

Other premium tech features include standard automatic stability control (ASC), ABS, keyless ride, and an optional 6.5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity. The 400 GT also has great wind protection, stable handling, and clever, expandable under-seat storage.

Sam came in with his mate Gof to look at the 2025 Yamaha XMAX scooter. Even though Sam wanted a daily ride to get to and from work, he was also wishing for something extra – if he had to ride a scooter, he wanted the best one available. The guys at Procycles Yamaha Hornsby showed him around the Yamaha XMAX and you could see Sam was getting into it. This thing was fun enough to also ride on the weekends.Yamaha's 1% Finance promotion for MY25 scooters and a ride away price of only $$9,849 pushed him over the edge and he agreed to book in a pick-up at the same time as Gof who was picking up a new R1.Sam’s new XMAX 300 is a premium Sport Scooter that’s just as impressive for highway riding as it is for running around town. Yamaha’s Blue Core engine, delivers 27.6 bhp and the XMAX features include a 4.2-inch TFT display, smartphone connectivity, adjustable screen, and smart key ignition. Sam will be really surprised with its touring capability and speed on the freeways. We think he’ll be disappearing at every opportunity to go riding with the boys.

Gof came into Procycles Yamaha Hornsby with his mate Sam, who was looking at purchasing an Yamaha XMAX for everyday commuter use. While Gof was waiting for Sam to finish up the deal, Gof took a liking to our 2025 Yamaha R1 and gave us a deposit to hold it. He had a bike to trade, so Gof came in the following weekend for a 40-point inspection of his old bike and to finalize his R1 deal. These Yamaha R1’s have come a long way in significant recent model updates. Gof now gets a refined, track-focused superbike, with a feather-light clutch, and amazingly responsive braking capabilities with new Brembo Stylema callipers, updated KYB gold suspension, and functional carbon fibre winglets for improved downforce and effortless control, even at high speeds. The R1 retains the explosive 998cc CP4 crossplane engine and comprehensive electronics, offering a smooth, linear power delivery, with a smoother throttle response compared to previous models. Yamaha has also introduced a new, grippier seat texture to stop the g-forces edging you off the back. This new Yamaha R1 really does rev your heart.
