BMW has been slowly building up its model roster for the past decade and we are now finally in a place where we can confidently say that BMW truly has a motorcycle model suited for everyone. From track-day domination with an S1000RR to an entire range of ADV bikes in their GS series ranging from 1250cc all the way to 310cc; BMW has a little something for every rider.

2022 doesn’t bring any significant updates to a majority of their bikes, but that is because many of these models saw big overhauls for their 2021 models thanks to recent Euro 5 regulations being put in place.

2022 BMW S1000RR

2022 BMW S1000RR

When trying to imagine the “top of the line” when it comes to motorcycles, two bikes come to mind. Firstly the Ducati Panigale V4 – and secondly the BMW S1000RR. The S1000RR has been the pinnacle of exotic hyperbikes since it first hit the scene. Last year brought several big updates to the hyperbike titan, meaning this year is lighter on the updates; most importantly the available Factory packages.

The 999cc Inline-4 monster produces a staggering 205 horsepower and 85 lb-ft of torque sent through BMW’s very own race-developed 6-speed transmission. As previously mentioned, the 2022 S1000RR has seen updates to the packages, and it will come in three versions this year: Standard, Premium, and M Package.

MSRP: $14,545 USA / $18,900 CAN

Similar to the S1000RR, very minimal changes have come to the physical motorcycle into 2022, with most of the changes coming into the available dealership packages.

The 1254cc power plant lays down 136 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque while the overall bike does it’s best to maintain a comfortable up-right riding position conducive to long rides on the saddle.

2022 BMW R1250GS Adventure

The R1250GS is the gold standard of enduro-touring. Synonymous with Adventure, the R1250GS has maintained market dominance in a now oversaturated segment of motorcycling. Like most of BMW’s premium models, the 2022 R1250GS has undergone virtually zero changes to the bike itself, and most of the changes can be found in the dealer package options.

The 2022 R1250GS will be powered by the same legendary air-cooled 1254cc flat-twin capable of 136 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque; more than enough to get you through any dicey off-road situations.

2022 BMW F900XR

Instead of a 135 HP beast (and all the tech to back it up) like the S1000XR, the F900XR features an 895cc parallel-twin with a 99 horsepower and 68 lb-ft of torque powerband.

Cafe-racing, the BMW way; The R nineT is very obviously a retro-throwback to a time when cafe-racers dominated the tracks. Not only does it look good, it also is built to perform.

    “The Pure is mechanically identical to the standard R nineT”

    …only if you don’t consider the suspension, brakes, instrumentation or exhaust “mechanical”
