BMW Motorrad's largest Japanese gathering, BMW MOTORRAD DAYS JAPAN 2026, returns for its 21st edition on September 5-6 at Hakuba 47 Mountain Sports Park in Nagano. Alongside test rides of the latest models, the two-day event features a hill climb contest with a maximum 28-degree gradient, a rider parade, a barbecue-and-fireworks night party, and a Japan presentation plus engine teardown show for the new F 450 GS.

Go see it in person and you'll get it — this kind of brand event sells the atmosphere more than the machines. A 28-degree max gradient for the hill climb is the right number for a spectacle. Showing the engine's guts in a teardown show is something I appreciate, since I judge any new bike by who gets to take it apart.

A 28-degree hill climb sounds brutal just from the number alone.

For the hill climb, I'm curious how they handle safety on the spectator side too.

I've always wondered what the GS is like, so being able to test ride it makes me happy.

Being welcoming to non-owners too is a quietly nice touch.

BBQ and fireworks in Hakuba too — this is basically a touring destination on its own.

I really want to see that F 450 GS engine teardown show, definitely going.
