BMW Exhausts

Rex has been a loyal customer of Procycles BMW Hornsby for over 15 years. And now, six bikes later, he’s finally had to admit the height of his BMW R1250 Adventure is getting to be a bit of a struggle. We spoke about it in the showroom and we got him a test ride on the new R1300 GS Trophy, with the added benefit of Adaptive Vehicle Height Control. Rex was immediately relieved when he was able to flat foot the bike with no issues.

This new adaptive vehicle height control on the R1300 GS is amazing. It’s an automatic suspension system that lowers the bike by 30mm when coming to a stop for better ground accessibility and ease of getting on or off. When the bike is stationary or at low speeds (below about 25 klm), the system lowers the seat height, and as you start moving, it automatically raises the chassis back to the standard ride height. A great convenience for our older riders or those of us who are vertically challenged. The adaptive height control is part of the broader Dynamic Suspension Adjustment (DSA) system, which also adjusts damping and spring stiffness in real-time for optimal comfort and handling.

Andre did his research, looking for a great all-rounder sports bike, preferably a naked so he had the practicality as well as the performance.

Then Andre saw Procycles BMW Hornsby was continuing their big BMW Demonstrator sale. He contacted the guys and they offered him our very low klm, Black Storm Metallic, BMW S1000 R Sport at an amazing price.

This super naked has every Andre was looking for and heaps more. For a start the latest model is smoother, safer and quicker than ever! BMW updated the S1000R in 2025 with an extra 5bhp, a quick-action throttle, shorter gearing, refined electronics and twin headlights.

On top of its searing performance the S1000R remains roomy, easy to ride, and this Sport model is loaded with toys and semi-active suspension, with Marzocchi forks and shock. A new electronic braking control system, which works alongside the R’s mechanical slipper clutch, keeps things under control under rapid deceleration. It’s particularly useful on a wet road. The rest of the rider aids get M1000 RR settings that are nothing short of excellent, from its smooth anti-wheelie to the accuracy of the Sport’s up/down quickshifter, while the traction control that works away quietly in the background.
