    BMW Motorrad revealed an all-new boxer-powered roadster overnight, dubbed R 1300 R, which is set to launch in Australia in the third quarter of this year, priced from $22,200 rideaway.
    The BMW R 1300 R is motivated by the brand’s 1300cc boxer engine, which in this case is tuned to produce 107kW (145hp) and 149Nm. According to BMW, this is the most powerful production BMW boxer engine to date.
      1 of 4         Also unique to this naked roadster is its steel and aluminium chassis which hosts upside-down forks and paralever rear suspension. BMW claims that this suspension is too a world-first, as the only production motorcycle with a telescopic fork with an adjustable spring rate.
    “Focused uncompromisingly on riding dynamics, it delivers a far sportier experience
    than its predecessor thanks to a completely redesigned engine and chassis while still
    retaining core BMW values such as touring capability and comfort,” said BMW Motorrad head of development Christof Lischka.

    The R 1300 R is fitted with an advanced rider aid suite, offering three rider modes as standard as well as the brand’s Engine Drag Torque Control system. The bike can also be optioned with Automated Shift Assistant (ASA), the automatic transmission system previously seen on the R 1300 GS Adventure.
    The bike will launch in four variants, with the base R 1300 R in Snapper Rocks Blue coming in at $22,200, joined by the higher-spec Exclusive ($28,490), Performance ($28,240) and range-topping Option 719 ($30,890).

    Ducati has revealed its new Panigale V4 Lamborghini – a collector’s edition model inspired by the Italian carmaker’s Revuelto supercar – distinguished by a unique colour scheme, dedicated forged wheels and carbon-fibre extras.
    Just 630 units will be offered to the public, with another 63 units reserved for Lamborghini customers who will be able to configure the bike with the same colors as their car.
    The Ducati Panigale V4 Lamborghini builds on the standard Panigale V4 S, but gains forged aluminium wheels, a new tail piece and wings in carbon-fibre, and a new seat in the same style as the interior of the Lamborghini Revuelto.

    The bike is also equipped with an Akrapovic titanium silencer which ups power to the platform’s maximum 163kW, and drops weight to 185kg. This makes the V4 Lamborghini the lightest of the family.
    The specifications of the Panigale V4 Lamborghini are rounded off by the dry clutch and adjustable footrests, brake and clutch levers, and counterweights made from billet aluminum. Those wanting to use their motorcycle on the track will have a racing tank cap in billet aluminum, brake caliper conveyors, carbon fiber open clutch cover, and a license plate holder removal kit, all included with the bike.

    The bike is further enhanced by the plate on the engine bearing its name (Desmosedici Stradale); the triple clamp machined from billet aluminum; and the dedicated dashboard animation at key-on, including the name of the motorbike and the example number. The same number is also laser-etched onto the aluminum badge of the ignition key.
    Each Panigale V4 Lamborghini is supplied with a certificate of authenticity and dedicated motorbike cover delivered in a special personalized box matching the livery. Moreover, every Panigale V4 Lamborghini will be delivered in an exclusive customized wooden crate, complete with dedicated rear stand once again matching the bike’s livery.

    Ducati has confirmed that it will release its new XDiavel V4 to Australian showrooms in August, priced from $46,500 rideaway.
    The Ducati XDiavel V4, which effectively replaces the outgoing XDiavel 1260, looks to redefine the segment with a focus on performance from its new V4 Granturismo engine and sophisticated electronics suite.
    This 1158cc powerplant, which is used in a number of models in Ducati’s line-up including the Multistrada V4 adventure bike, generates 125kW and 125Nm. For comparison, the 1262cc Testastretta L-twin powering the XDiavel 1260 generates 119kW and 127Nm.

    This move to the V4 platform promises to combine familiar muscular cruiser ergonomics with strong performance, with the Italian bikemaker dubbing the model a ‘Sport Cruiser’.
    The Ducati XDiavel V4 features a low and relaxed riding position with an enormous 240/45 rear tyre, which helps the 229kg bike spring from zero-to-100km/h in “less than three seconds”.
    Despite its commanding size, the XDiavel V4 should offer thrilling handling dynamics for the cruiser category, and is backed up by high-end fully adjustable suspension and Brembo Stylema calipers grabbing twin 330mm discs on the front end.

    According to Ducati, comfort is substantially improve thanks to the rear suspension with 25mm more travel compared to the XDiavel 1260 and, a thicker and wider saddle.
    On the tech front, the XDiavel V4 boasts a six-axis IMU for lean-angle sensitive traction control and cornering ABS, as well as a quickshifter, launch control and a 6.9-inch TFT dash.
    The 2025 Ducati XDiavel V4 will be available from August in two colours, Burning Red and Black Lava.
