Yamaha R7 LAMS Review: Supersport Performance on a Learner Licence

Fanting Shen had been searching for the right motorcycle, taking her time to explore the market and find something that truly stood out to her.

She came into Procycles Honda Sydney, at St Peters, to take a closer look at our wide range of bikes, and one motorcycle caught her attention above all the rest — the Honda CB650R. Fanting decided the CB650R was the one for her, left a deposit and ordered a selection of accessories which we fitted and soon it was new bike day.

Procycles at St Peters is Sydney’s newest Honda dealer and already we are showing customers a whole new Honda buying experience. Situated only 10 minutes from the city, Honda customers no longer have to head west to see the complete range. Procycles have been here for over 50 years and now we get to deliver new levels of service to Honda customers. Come in and see for yourself.

Junior is one of our favourite characters at Procycles BMW Hornsby. He just upgraded his S1000 XR to the BMW M1000 XR. And whilst we were prepping the bike we added some Rad Guards, a Quadlock and Junior was away, a lot faster than when he arrived.

Junior’s S1000 XR was making 170 horsepower. The BMW M1000 XR variant also features BMW's ShiftCam engine technology but pumps out 201 horsepower. It’s 3 kg. lighter, has stiffer, shorter-travel electronic suspension and sharper geometry.

This ultra-high-performance motorcycle also comes with aggressive aerodynamic front winglets for downforce at high speeds, M-branded Nissin brakes and other upgraded components. But even though its track-capable, the M1000 XR is also a very balanced long-distance sports touring bike.

Huan-Chi was originally looking at a Triumph Speed 400 down the road, until he came up to Procycles Honda Sydney at St Peters and saw Honda’s GB350.

With his mate in his ear, they started to compare features and Huan-Chi soon realised the GB350 was the pick of the pair. The 2026 Honda GB350 is a stylish retro-inspired roadster that combines a classic look with modern reliability and everyday practicality. Powered by a smooth 348 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, it delivers strong low-to-mid range torque, making it relaxed and easy to ride. It still has Honda’s best tech, including LED lighting, ABS-equipped disc brakes, and a digital-analogue instrument cluster. But what most LAMS riders like is the comfortable upright riding position and lower seat height. It’s easy-going, manageable and an excellent choice for riders who appreciate the simplicity and charm of a classic with the dependability of a modern Honda.

Joe is a committed BMW GS rider who lives in Perth. He has owned and clocked up heaps of klms on a couple of R1200 GS’s - easy to do when you live in the wide-open spaces in Western Australia. Joe goes riding with his best mate Ian who owns a Multistrada S, so when Joe decided he needed to update to an R1300 GS Trophy, Ian thought he better do the same, otherwise he will never keep up.

The guys saw that Procycles BMW in Sydney had two late model BMW R1300 GS Trophy’s for sale, so they jumped on a plane and paid us a visit. Not hard as we are located only a few minutes from the Airport.

The two GS’s were almost identical, both fully factory optioned, plus with all luggage options already fitted. Joe and Ian loved the bikes, saying they looked even better than they did in the online pictures. We did the paperwork and they set out to ride the bikes back to Perth. We asked which way they would go and Joe winked and said “I think we’ll take the long way round.”

Nathan was after a LAMS bike to get started on, so he came into Procycles at Hornsby to check out his mid-range and middleweight supersport options. Across the brands they are all very high revving and tech-focussed. Nathan said he just wants to have fun and commute to work. So, we suggested he would be better off with a maximum torque Yamaha MT-07 LA, a cheaper option with a maximum fun factor. And with the money he saved Nathan was able to add the accessories he wanted. We fitted frame sliders, radiator guards and tank grips.

The MT-07LA was specifically built by Yamaha for the LAMS market in Australia. It’s powered by Yamaha’s ultra-reliable CP2 engine. It only weighs 183 kgs. The lightweight chassis and upright ergonomics suit both urban commuting and recreational weekend riding, it comes with a 5-inch TFT display, smartphone connectivity via the MyRide app, its practical, fuel-efficient and easy to ride. No wonder for only $15,149 ride away its one of the best LAMS motorcycles on the market.

Jonathan called us at Procycles Kawasaki Hornsby after seeing we had a very clean low klms Kawasaki Z900RS SE Yellowball, listed for sale online. He came in the next day to take a look and a test ride. Happy with his ride, we talked numbers and he went home to sleep on it. Next day he was back to place a deposit and asked us to order a centre stand.
The Z900 RS Yellowball is an iconic classic with a distinctive heritage yellow-and-black teardrop fuel tank which gives it a retro look from the 1970’s when the first Z1 was released.
Despite the vintage look, the Z900 SE is loaded with all the latest Kawasaki tech and electronics, including Kawasaki’s Traction Control features. The SE is also upgraded with an adjustable Öhlins S46 rear shock and retuned gold-anodized front forks. It’s equipped with high-grade Brembo M4.32 monoblock callipers and steel-braided lines.

Joel has been a Yamaha fan for years. He mostly commutes to work, but when it came time to update, he didn’t want that to dictate him riding something special. After debating his next ride with us for a few months, Joel finally decided to pre-order this beautiful 2026 model Yamaha R7HO … but with a few tweaks to set the bike off and make it different than the rest.

Once the bike arrived, Joel asked if we could paint the wheels gold, as well as fit new clutch and brake levers to match. We also went one step further and fitted a tail tidy and tinted windscreen, to finish the bike off.
We think it looks great and Joel is going to be even more impressed when he rides it.

This Yamaha YZF-R7HO is the high-output, full-power version, as distinct from the LAMS R7LA variant. It delivers 72 hp from the 689cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC inline CP2 twin-cylinder engine. The suspension is fully adjustable inverted 41mm KYB front forks, linked to a rear monoshock. The brakes are 298mm hydraulic front discs with ABS and a Brembo radial master cylinder. This is a whole heap of value for only $16,549 ride away from Procycles Yamaha Hornsby.

Over his riding career Chen has owned some of the biggest and fastest bikes, but this time around he wanted something really special, a motorcycle that truly matched his style.He had his sights set on the latest Yamaha YZF-R1 and the moment he saw the 2026 model in Yamaha Blue with its stunning blue wheels, he knew he had found the one. After speaking with the sales team at Procycles Yamaha Sydney, in St Peters, and having all of his questions answered, Chen placed his deposit and eagerly waited for us to prep his new ride. This Superbike icon is stacked with cutting-edge technology gleaned directly from MotoGP and WSBK Superbike competition. It features a powerful 998cc crossplane CP4 engine that’s good for 200+ bhp, a refined Deltabox frame, MotoGP®-inspired carbon fibre winglets and a comprehensive electronics package. For the ultimate in performance and control the new R1 has premium Brembo® front brakes and highly refined KYB suspension to further enhance its track-focused capability. It all comes wrapped in sleek, distinctive R-series styling to match its advanced performance.

Nicholas was visiting us here at Procycles Yamaha Sydney, shopping the market for his next bike. He initially settled for the Yamaha R9 but slowly figured out he could get just as much value from the R7, and he really didn’t do the sort of riding where he would use the extra power. So Nic decided on the 2026 Yamaha YZF-R7,  a lightweight Supersport that delivers an ideal balance of exhilarating performance, agile handling, and everyday usability. 

Powered by Yamaha’s proven 689 cc CP2 parallel-twin engine, Nic still gets strong, torque-rich acceleration and a smooth power delivery. It also features an Assist & slipper clutch, fully Adjustable suspension, and powerful Dual front disc brakes. Modern features such as a full-colour TFT display with Smartphone connectivity, 6 axis IMU, selectable Ride modes and Traction control will all enhance Nic’s riding experience. 

Leon is a regular Procycles Hornsby customer and a long-term GS Safari rider. Having done more than 8 GS Safaris and even more GS Tours, nobody is going to tell Leon about the pros and cons of the current adventure bike choices. For Leon, when it came time to update his ride there was only one motorcycle in the frame – a brand-new BMW R1300 GS Adventure Trophy, fitted ex-factory with Adaptive Height Control and the Enduro Pro package.

Leon’s booked in for the Tasmania TS Safari later in the year, and he can’t wait to put his new machine through its paces. You see, whilst the 1300 GSA is a go-anywhere Adventure bike that will cross continents over uncertain ground, it’s also the ultimate Tourer. Supreme all-day comfort with a two-up capacity his wife will enjoy when she joins him on future trips.

Luis obviously enjoys his life and here he is picking up a brand new S1000RR Sport, from Procycles BMW Sydney.
Unlike its hardcore track rivals, this incredible litre-class superbike is highly capable on the street. And the S1000RR is known for it’s comfortable, less-cramped ergonomic layout for riders of various heights, plus sophisticated suspension components that absorb road bumps surprisingly well.
At it’s heart is a 999cc, four-cylinder engine featuring ShiftCam technology that produces 210 hp at 13,750 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 11,000 rpm. The bike features top-tier tech and electronics making the ride both safer and customizable. Standard features include Riding Modes Pro (Rain, Road, Dynamic, Race, and Race Pro), Dynamic Traction Control, Dynamic Brake Control, and Hill Start Control. All settings are easily managed via the clear 6.5-inch TFT screen.
The Sport trim includes a sharp 58-degree quick-action throttle and a slick-shifting gearbox. This combination yields incredible acceleration, pushing the bike from 0 to 100 km/h in roughly 3.2 seconds. The Sport variant also offers real-world features like cruise control, heated grips, and a roomy seating position, making it both a road-friendly daily and a formidable track-day weapon.

For many years Nic loved riding around on his BMW S1000 R. When it came time for an update, Nic came into Procycles BMW Hornsby and spoke to our man BMW Brent. They discussed keeping the same fun and power of the inline four, but maybe improving on touring comfort and capacity, with the ability to carry more luggage. Together they settled on BMW’s S1000 XR, fitted with a genuine BMW Pannier Pack. The ultimate combination of long-distance capability and high-performance in a sportbike.

The BMW S1000 XR’s inline-four 999cc engine delivers the blistering 170 hp performance of the S1000 RR with 114 Nm of torque resulting in a massive mid-range with an exhilarating top-end rush. All of that with the upright, all-day comfort of an adventure-tourer. Plus, semi-active suspension, cornering ABS, and a 6.5-inch TFT dash. It’s built for riders who want sportbike agility without the aggressive crouch. Ergonomics that provide an upright, commanding riding position with excellent wind protection from the adjustable screen. The standard electronics package includes Riding Modes Pro, Shift Assistant Pro for clutchless up/downshifts, and Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment. And the Brembo brakes set-up features radial four-piston callipers (with M-spec options on the higher trims) offering immense stopping power.

Benny is an enduro rider from way back with lots of great memories from when he used to rip through the bush. After a while off the bikes, now Benny is keen to get his mojo back.

At Procycles BMW Hornsby, Benny found the best way to get back into the groove was on a BMW F800 GS Triple Black, the premium 895cc parallel-twin middleweight that comes with ABS Pro, Riding Modes, a 6.5" TFT Display with Connectivity, Heated Grips, a Luggage Rack, LED lights and Indicators, a 12V Socket and USB Port. Benny then chose the Triple Black variant because it adds a High Windscreen, Tyre Pressure Control and the Comfort Package with Keyless Ride, Navigation Preparation, Cruise Control and the Luggage Rack with Case Holders. With all that going for him it’s no wonder Benny is busting to start exploring the trails and back roads and when the mood is right a comfortable all-day trip down the highways.

David has always been a sports bike guy, but a little while ago he thought he might like to set his sights on a lot more long-distance touring, so he sold his BMW S1000 RR and bought himself an exceptional BMW R1300 RS, which some say was the best variant of the 1300, with the Boxer engine that churned out 145 hp and 149 Nm of tractor-like torque.

However, David missed his S1000 RR and it’s effortless 154 kW [210 hp] rush, delivered by BMW’s 999 cc ShiftCam inline-four engine, a 58-degree quick-action throttle, and advanced Rider Modes Pro as standard. David also missed the RR’s highly customizable electronics suite that keeps everything on the ground and the razor-sharp handling and composed stability at high speeds, thanks to the aerodynamic winglets. 

At Procycles BMW Hornsby, David chose the Sport variant in Black Storm Metallic, as it adds the Dynamic Package of Dynamic Damping Control, Heated Grips and Cruise Control. David now has two awesome bikes in his garage!  Always a pleasure! 

Paul was a BMW S1000 R owner who wanted to take the next step up from his existing model. At Procycles BMW Sydney we had our M1000 R demo on sale with very low kms, Paul saw the deal and it was too good to pass up. His new M1000 R was familiar, yet different for all the right reasons.

The BMW M1000 R combines BMW's track-focused Superbike DNA with street-friendly ergonomics. It boasts an incredible 210 hp (154 kW) from its inline-four ShiftCam engine, an aggressive 14,600 rpm redline, and a top speed of 280 km/h. And it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. It has a wet weight of only 199 kg and the M Aerodynamic Winglets generate significant downforce at high speeds to prevent the front wheel from lifting.

The impressive electronics suite features a 6-axis IMU, adjustable Ride Modes (Rain, Road, Dynamic, Race, and customizable Race Pro), Launch control, and Pitlane limiter. Equally impressive are BMW's M Brakes (developed directly from World Superbike racing) and electronically controlled suspension with Dynamic Damping Control.

Mark has been looking for the perfect bike, the one bike that does everything. Living up the Coast he has access to some great smooth-as highway roads and some not-so-great roads that lead off the beaten track. There is one motorcycle that’s up for any terrain – the world’s best all-rounder … a BMW R1300 GS Triple Black.

This flagship adventure bike is a premium, road-biased touring weapon with a respectable off-Road capability. With its stealthy blacked-out styling and advanced tech—including radar-guided cruise control, an electronically adjustable windscreen, and optional Automatic Shift Assistant, it delivers unparalleled long-distance comfort and blistering handling. The Boxer engine produces 145 hp and 149 Nm of torque. It delivers incredibly smooth roll-on power, making high-speed highway overtakes and carving through curvy backroads effortless.

The R1300 GS Triple Black with full Luggage Pack is the bike to take on the good and the bad. Thanks Mark, great to see you at Procycles BMW Hornsby again!

Keith came all the way from the USA, Hawaii in fact, to get started on the trip of a lifetime. An adventure he has been planning for ages, Keith intends doing an almost lap of Australia, then taking his bike up through Thailand and finally all the way overland to hopefully end up in Turkey. But Keith’s first stop was at Procycles BMW Hornsby.

The only motorcycle you would trust to finish a mammoth trip like this would be the BMW R1300 GS Adventure Trophy. Built to handle any terrain, equipped with the safety, performance and comfort features you need and to give Keith the confidence to head over the horizon. 

Keith’s wife will be joining him two-up for a portion of the Aussie leg so the top box will come in handy. 

The 2026 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure Trophy is a premier continent-crossing motorcycle. It features a 145 hp, 1,300 cc boxer engine and a 30-litre fuel tank. I also showcases advanced tech packages like the Automated Shift Assistant, Adaptive Vehicle Height Control, radar-guided Riding Assistant, and Headlight Pro. The perfect bike for the trip! 

Duane was looking for a bike he could ride to work that also had the capability to get off the beaten track. He was planning an outback trip, but he didn’t know how serious, until he looked a lot closer at the BMW F800 GS Sport and realised he could broaden his horizons. This thing could go anywhere. It ticked all the boxes. 

The 2026 BMW F 800 GS Sport is an adventure-touring motorcycle featuring a powerful 895cc parallel-twin engine (87 hp, 91 Nm). The guys at Procycles BMW Hornsby showed him all the upgrades that came with choosing the Sport variant, including premium features for touring and everyday capability. Including the Dynamic & Comfort Packages which add Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment, Gear Shift Assistant Pro, and Riding Modes Pro. Plus a taller tinted windshield and Keyless Ride, Navigation Preparation, Cruise Control, Tyre Pressure Control, and a main stand.

It took a couple of months wait for Adriano to get his new BMW F900R in this stunning Snapper Rock Blue colour scheme. When the bike arrived at Procycles BMW Sydney, we all realised it was worth the wait. The premium build quality and class-leading tech is there for all to see.

The BMW F900R is a highly versatile and refined middleweight naked, do-it-all roadster is powered by an 895cc parallel-twin engine producing 105 usable everyday horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 93 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. It delivers punchy mid-range torque and the 270-degree crank gives an engaging, characterful exhaust note. The electronics package features a class-leading 6.5-inch colour TFT display that handles media, navigation, and settings brilliantly. Standard rider aids include ABS Pro, dynamic brake control, and rain/road/dynamic riding modes.

The F900R is also highly customizable with premium add-on options like BMW's Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment), Gear Shift Assist Pro (Quickshifter), Keyless ride, and Heated grips.

First-time GS rider Patrick chose a BMW R1300 GS Pure, from Procycles BMW Sydney, as his stepping stone into the world of unlimited adventures.



An excellent choice if you want the high-performance 145 hp BMW ShiftCam Boxer engine, but prefer to skip the pricey, complex features. The "Pure" trim bridges the gap between the budget-friendly GS and the fully-loaded flagship models. It retains the core performance, but trims off some excess weight and complexity (like auto-lowering suspension and radar systems) that you might not need.



The Pure still develops 107 kW (145 hp) @ 7,750 rpm with torque of 149 Nm @ 6,500 rpm and a wet weight of 237 kg. Even in "Pure" trim, it’s incredibly well-equipped, including amazing electronics like ABS Pro (cornering ABS), Dynamic Brake Control, Tyre Pressure Control, Cruise Control, and Heated grips. With very capable Suspension including the Dynamic Package (DSA/Dynamic Suspension Adjustment), Gear Shift Assistant Pro, and Sports Brake. Plus Matrix LED headlights, Keyless ignition, a dedicated storage compartment with a phone charger, and Cross-spoke wheels.



And now then BMW R1300 GS Pure is even cheaper than before with a new Procycles BMW Ride Away Price of ONLY $27,316.44.

Gavin already knew how good the BMW R1300 GS was. He owned one previously and when it came time for a replacement, the only thing better was the new R1300GS Adventure Option 719 with full Black Alloy Luggage pack.

This is the pinnacle of the GSA lineup. It elevates the 145-hp base machine into a luxury, long-distance tourer. It adds the premium Option 719 Billet Pack Shadow package of custom-machined aluminium engine covers and levers with gold cross-spoke wheels, and upgraded heated rider and passenger seats, with an electric high windshield, and top-case preparation. The Tech add-ons include the Riding Assistant Suite, which is a radar-based blind spot monitor with adaptive cruise control. It also combines both the Touring and Dynamic packages, essential for over the horizon touring adventures.

A distinctive feature of the Option 719 variant is the prestigious Aurelius Green "Karakorum" paintwork with gold highlights. Very patriotic if you are an Aussie.

Our first Procycles Yamaha Sydney new model Yamaha R7 went out the door braving the rain. There was no stopping Omar. He traded his RC390 and to something bigger, a lot more powerful and with all the latest technology.

Omar’s 2026 Yamaha R7 is probably the best value-for-money motorcycle on the market. This lightweight Supersport is powered by Yamaha’s proven 689 cc CP2 parallel-twin engine. It delivers strong torque and smooth, responsive acceleration. Built around a lightweight chassis it features fully adjustable suspension, and powerful dual front disc brakes. Modern technology includes an assist & slipper clutch, selectable riding modes, traction control, a full-colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity, and an optional quick-shifter for seamless gear changes.

David owns a Panigale for when he has a need for speed, but its not exactly cut out for all-day comfort. So, David came into Procycles BMW Sydney and scored himself this beautiful BMW R12 nineT in Imperial Blue, for when a relaxed Sunday cruise is the order of the day.

David’s BMW R12 nineT beautifully blends classic retro with modern roadster performance. Its powered by an iconic 1170cc air/oil-cooled boxer engine, and delivers 109 horsepower, with an abundance of low-end torque. The boxer twin produces a deeply satisfying rumble and wave of torque. At idle, the bike rocks side-to-side - a characteristic boxer quirk that gives the motorcycle real soul. It features three ride modes: Rain, Road, and Sport, with Road being the preferred balance for everyday riding.

The bike offers a stellar, engaging riding experience thanks to a revamped, lighter steel trellis frame which updates the geometry, and provides an incredibly nimble and responsive front end. It also features high-quality, adjustable suspension and Brembo brakes.

Rob travelled all the way from Bega to Procycles BMW Sydney, at St Peters, to test ride and then purchase one of our quality used, original BMW R nineT’s. As you can see from the photo, he’s pretty happy with his purchase.

Who wouldn’t be. Even though this bike has been around for a while you would never know it. It’s an immaculate example of a retro model that has become a classic. A sensational roadster with a simple but authentic design, the R nineT is a motorcycle that combines history and technology. Sure it has a has a high-quality fit and finish that's second to none, but underneath that skin lies the latest BMW high tech safety and performance features that make it an absolute joy to ride. Congratulations Rob. We hope you enjoyed the ride back to Bega

Diego gave us a call at Procycles Yamaha Hornsby, looking for a new 2026 YZ250F, to replace his 2025 model that was unfortunately stolen just a few weeks after he initially purchased it. Diego needed to ride and wanted a replacement bike ASAP. Lucky for him we had one ready to go. He came in at 4pm to see it, he pulled the trigger, and we got it ready for him in under an hour!



The Procycles Yamaha team showed Diego all of the great features with the Power Tuner App, like the ECU Lock and Torque Control Mapping, and this time we made sure he purchased an insurance policy … just in case. The new Yamaha YZ250F is priced at $13,549 out the door. And Diego promises he will be back to get his partner sorted with a new bike.

Michael traded his Royal Enfield on this 2026 Kawasaki KLE500 SE - a rally-inspired adventure motorcycle designed to deliver a balanced mix of touring comfort, everyday practicality, and light off-road capability. At Procycles Kawasaki Sydney, it was our first sale of this new KLE model. Michael has been researching this bike for a while, so when he came to the shop he knew what he wanted.

Powered by a 451 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 45 hp and 42.6 Nm of torque, it offers smooth, accessible performance paired with a 6-speed gearbox and assist & slipper clutch. Built on a lightweight steel trellis frame, the KLE500 SE features long-travel suspension, a 21-inch front wheel, upright ergonomics, and an 870 mm seat height, giving riders confidence on both paved roads and dirt trails. Premium features include a 4.3-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, ABS, LED lighting, adjustable ergonomics, and a 16-litre fuel tank for extended adventures.

Procycles at Hornsby would like to welcome Denis to our growing Yamaha family. Here he is with his new 2026 Yamaha D’elight 125. Denis called us a few weeks ago looking at different scooter options, and was deciding between the Yamaha NMAX and the D’elight. In the end it was the weight and price point of the D’elight that made it hard to say no.

Denis is mainly going to use the D’elight as more convenient way of exploring locations and just use it as a run-around while he is travelling the country with his wife Ida. They purchased a tow ball bike rack from us and have fitted it to the back of their caravan and plan to bring the scooter with them wherever they go. Denis has bought a few bikes from us in the past and we were happy to help him get another. The D’elight is only $4,199 ride away at Procycles Hornsby and St Peters. 

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.

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.

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.
