BMW Adventure & Enduro

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Greg is a real BMW aficionado. He has owned and ridden the best bikes, including different GS Adventures and K1600 GTLs. And whilst Greg has enjoyed his Adventure years, he’s now decided to do much more touring and put aside his off-road riding. Greg knew what he wanted next and came into Procycles BMW Sydney to order the latest BMW K1600 GTL Option 719, with special paintwork Meteoric Dust 2 Metallic and Option 719 Forged Wheels Classic. This masterpiece is the pride of the BMW fleet. The pinnacle of high quality and sheer comfort, boasting the legendary straight-six engine, superior control and effortless steering. Now standard equipped with the latest generation of Dynamic ESA and ABS Pro. As Greg knows, travelling with the K 1600 GTL takes you to a new dimension – stylish, powerful, luxurious – a first-class experience.

Malcom grew up on his parent’s farm west of Sydney. So he spent may years riding dirt bikes around the property. But when he moved away, to work in Sydney and get on with life, his commitments pushed all that aside. Naturally he misses getting out into the bush and the freedom feeling. What he needed was a motorcycle that was comfortable to ride to the farm and capable of tackling the trails when he got there. At Procycles BMW Hornsby, we put Malcom on an F850 GS Adventure, the supreme all-rounder. Probably the most off-road capable adventure bike in the BMW range, driven by a powerful, parallel twin engine with 90 hp on tap and 84 Nm of torque, which translates to grunt in the bush. Malcom will be conquering all surfaces on his new BMW. We can see him now … tearing up the mud in his old stomping ground.

Doug lives in the ACT and contacted us at Procycles BMW Hornsby when he saw this fantastic, Wunderlich BMW F850 GS advertised online. Doug’s lucky coming from an area surrounded by lots of great places to ride, both on and off the road and he’s bought the best all-rounder to make the most of it. The BMW 850 GS is versatile and well-rounded both on pavement and in the dirt. It has exceptionally good road manners, with all the off-road hallmarks of its bigger GS brothers, without being so cumbersome to ride. Doug can purr along quite happily on the road knowing that when he turns off the highway his F850 GS is ready to bark its Akrapovic exhaust note and bite into the bush, fully protected by the Wunderlich Bars covering the vital bits. Even though Doug bought at our Hornsby store, he was able to pick his bike up from St Peters, a closer to the ACT. The convenience of two locations 

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

Since 2017 Mark has been riding his absolutely immaculate BMW S1000 RR. He came in to see us at Procycles BMW Sydney around six weeks ago, asking if we would trade it on a new BMW M1000 R Competition. We were only too happy to take his RR in such beautiful condition. Mark’s been anxiously waiting for this beauty to arrive and couldn’t wait to pick it up. The BMW M1000 R Competition is a special motorcycle. It’s BMW's flagship super naked, based on their homologation RR superbike, but fitted with flat bars and without a front fairing. The chassis is absolutely amazing, the handling is sharp and aggressive, with light and accurate steering. Mark’s M Competition Package includes an enticing mix of refined components and impressive M electronic gadgetry and racing technology. The M1000 R Competition develops 205 horsepower and 83 lb-ft of torque. It weighs only 199 kgs. This new model has more riding stability at high speeds and offers a truly dynamic riding experience. Yet Mark can comfortably ride it to work and the bike can be as docile as he likes. Forget work! Mark went straight home to install a new competition exhaust and then was going to go for a blast this weekend.

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

Richard hasn’t ridden a serious motorcycle for several years.  A situation he was determined to fix … in a safe responsible way. Fortunately, Richard is a close friend of the lads from the California Super Bike School who were pressuring Richard to brush up on his riding skills and get himself a real bike. The Super Bike School guys loaned Richard a BMW S1000 RR to ride for the day and it didn’t take long for him to get his mojo back. Despite being a ‘real-world superbike’ these things are remarkably easy to ride … fast. BMW’s renowned synched electronics package keeps you in control and within your limits. Richard was instantly inspired by the S1000 RR and couldn’t wait to get back to Procycles BMW Hornsby, to place is order with the factory. 10 weeks later his bike arrived and Richard was straight off to go riding with the big boys and loving it.

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

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

Ivan was a Ducatista from the time he started to ride. He resisted as long as he could, but finally he’s seen the light and upgraded to the fastest naked production motorcycle to date. A BMW M1000 R Competition. Ivan couldn’t believe all the hi-end, competition-spec components that came standard on the BMW, that he would have to option up on whatever Ducati equivalent. The truth is there is no equivalent. The M1000R Competition is BMW's flagship Super Naked, based on their homologation superbike but fitted with flat bars and no fairing. It looks dazzling in its exclusive Black Storm Metallic M Sport colours. The new M R engine is significantly more powerful than any previous model across the entire rev range. It will accelerate to 200 kph in just 7 seconds! Yet for such a dynamic motorcycle, it is remarkably easy to ride. The steering is light and accurate with super sharp handling. Ivan’s Competition model includes extra ultra-exclusive parts, like the M GPS Laptrigger, M Carbon wheels, M Carbon front and rear fenders, M Carbon tank covers, M Carbon Chain Guard, Carbon airbox cover, M Billet Package and M Rider Footrest System. To complete the look, Ivan picked up the latest BMW Carbon helmet that perfectly matches his M1000 R Competition scheme.

After riding for several years, Clint thought he was ready for something more sporty. So six months ago he bit the bullet and bought himself a brand new Panigale V2. Like lots of our customers, Clint quickly realised it just didn’t work for him. They look great, but passion isn’t everything. Clint had heard nothing but good reports about BMW’s S1000 RR and decided to take a closer look at our Procycles BMW Hornsby store. We showed Clint an S1000 RR Race model and he took it for a test ride. Clint immediately realised the differences in technology, power characteristics and especially comfort that he had been missing out on. We traded in his Panigale and the last we saw of Clint he was headed for the nearest horizon, something he wouldn’t have dreamed of doing before.

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

Alex collected his 2019 BMW S1000 RR Race from Procycles BMW Sydney over the weekend. No doubt Alex is enjoying his time on this immaculate model, traded recently in our used motorcycle department. Alex was initially looking for a Sport variant in the RR range but after some discussion with our salesman he soon realised he was in for a great deal, getting some cool extras on the Race version, like Forged wheels, a GPS lap trigger, Tyre pressure monitoring, the M battery, the Dynamic package including Cruise and Suspension dampening control as well as Heated grips to name just a few goodies this model offers. Congratulations Alex … you are sorted yourself for some fun on the road fun. No let’s get you on a new KTM for when it's time to hit the dirt.

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

Greg is planning to completely change his life. He recently sold everything that doesn’t fit on his new bike! A BMW R1250 GS Adventure in Triple Black, with low suspension, from Procycles BMW Sydney. As a warm up, Greg is off on some short trips … around Australia. Then later this year he will ship the bike to Bali … and from there he is off on the ultimate adventure …. to ride around the world! Greg has the right bike for the job. His BMW R1250 GSA was built for serious challenges. It’s made for impassable routes, adverse conditions and the most remote destinations. In the latest model, touring suitability and comfort has been further optimized to the highest standards. From driver assistance systems, lighting technology and advanced riding modes to a USB socket, the R1250 GS Adventure offers Greg everything he needs to explore the world. Greg wisely picked the Triple Black version which adds all the optional packages. He also purchased the personal essentials … a full BMW Luggage bundle in black, as well as his new BMW riding gear, BMW Helmet and a GPS …. so he can eventually find his way home. Here’s Greg, pictured with our Business Manager, Marguerite. She’s just making sure Greg gets away safely.
