KUALA LUMPUR: BMW Motorrad Malaysia has introduced the latest variant of the BMW R 1300 GS, with the addition of the Automated Shift Assistant (ASA).
The BMW R 1300 GS with Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) is priced at RM145,000 without insurance, and comes with a three-year warranty and three-year Roadside Assistance Programme.
It is available in White Aluminium Metallic, a new colour offering, as well as Black Storm Metallic.
The iconic adventure motorcycle introduces ASA as part of an enhanced Dynamic Package, which includes the Dynamic Suspension Adjustment (DSA), Gear Shift Assistant Pro, Riding Modes Pro and Sports Brake.
With no manual clutch operation required, ASA makes starting, stopping and manoeuvring easier.
Riders can choose between manual gear or fully automated shifting.
In “M” shift mode, riders select gears using the foot shift lever while ASA manages the clutch automatically.
In “D” shift mode, gear changes are fully automated based on engine speed and load for smoother, more comfortable shifting.
Meanwhile, its Touring Package includes preparation for a GPS device, Central Locking System, Hand Protector Extension and left and right case holders, while the Comfort Package adds the Passenger Kit, electrically adjustable windscreen and main stand.
Adaptive Height Adjustment, the Deluxe headlight, and the M lightweight battery come as standard.
At the heart of the BMW R 1300 GS with ASA is the BMW Motorrad’s legendary two-cylinder boxer engine.
The 1,300cc boxer engine develops 107kW (145hp) at 7,750rpm and a maximum torque of 149Nm at 6,500rpm, making it the most powerful BMW boxer engine ever produced in series.
With a compact configuration, the gearbox is positioned beneath the engine, resulting in a total weight of just 237kg.
With the Financing Plan from BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, ownership of the BMW R 1300 GS with ASA starts from RM2,048 per month.
These estimates are based on Straight Line Financing at a rate of 4.50% flat, with a 90% loan over a seven-year tenure.
Owners can also enjoy additional benefits with the industry-Leading Premium Engine Oil Inclusive, Service Inclusive and Warranty Extension Programmes by BMW Motorrad Malaysia.
