BMW Announces New Colors & Feature Updates For 2023 GS Models
Several models will see new standard equipment, plus a GS Trophy edition.
BMW has announced a host of what the manufacturer calls ‘maintenance measures’ for returning GS models, including several new colors and other minor updates. For 2023, several models will see new standard equipment, plus a GS Trophy edition will be offered for the R1250GS range and F850GS.
It is also worth noting that BMW’s U.S. page for the R1250GS and R1250GSA indicates that due to a semiconductor supply shortage, LED headlights are not currently available and therefore the bikes will be temporarily delivered with halogen lights.
The 2023 lineup will be available from August 2022 onwards. Let’s look at the updates.

I have a hard time understanding why anyone would buy a BMW over a KTM these days. These are just ugly, overweight pigs if you ask me.
Well, some of us like reliability.
Agree 100%. I put 120k kms on mine with no issues. Runs like new.
Out of 5 BMW the last two were sold with over 200,000 miles on them !
BMW- BULLET-PROOF MACHINE WORLD-WIDE
If you ride both of them for any length of time – it is an easy choice – BWM runs circles around the KTM – I have both of them in my garage – KTM is listed on Ebay for SALE.
I ride mega long adventures and THE NUMBER ONE bike I see broke down beside Harleys…KTM.
My last 3 Harley did 160,000 miles. 40,000 miles and 46,000 kms ( current bike) with no breakdowns or mechanical issues whatsoever. I don’t ride them often on dirt roads mind but the neither do most BM riders! Had three BM’s (also no issues). Never had a KTM but then haven’t seen one at the side of the road in the last 250,000 miles either so back off the bulls**t eh.
Just because these are much better bikes!
KTM are so poorly built now the wheels are weak, had mates been off the road for months due to shortage of spares on new bikes. Meanwhile I’ve just done 30k on my GS adv 1250 with no issues and due to a slight amount of corrosion on my crankcase they’ve just installed a brand new engine and gearbox free under warranty, let’s see KTM do that. Plus they’re orange hahahaha
48k on my 1190advr and still without issues. Did 1400 miles from Galveston Texas on a Friday evening arrived in Virginia Beach Virginia Sunday 2:30pm
I didn’t hear anyone asking!
Hmm…. don’t recall anyone asking…
Nobody did. Every time I ride a KTM I’m reminded how awful they are and that’s just riding never mind reliability issues and terrible back up from an awful dealership.
Luckily, nobody forces you to ride them. You are welcome to ride your little ultra light screamer. Personally, I like the style, comfort safety, stability, weight carrying capacity, mountain busting torque never mind how you are packed and with pillion!
Simply googling “BMW motorcycle recalls” throws the reliability and bulletproof characteristics out the window now-a-days. I had a GS, now I have a KTM, they’re different bikes. The KTM is more powerful and for me more comfortable but rough around the edges. The BMW is more refined, with a fit-and-finish that far surpasses the KTM.
Ktm heeft toch geen uitstraling, lelijk ding allen.
The True Title of this article should read, “BMW Motorradd Inc announces PRICE Increases”!!!
No high maintenance noisy chain for one. Love riding my GS in long runs.
