BMW Motorrad introduced three new motorcycles to the Chinese market at an event on the Chilechuan grassland near Hohhot. The BMW R 12 S, a retro-styled model with a 1170cc water-cooled boxer engine producing 80kW, starts at 199,900 yuan. The R 1300 GS Adventure automatic variant, priced from 239,900 yuan, adds BMW's ASA automated shift-assist system that removes manual clutch and gear operation. The R 1300 RT Option 719, priced from 337,900 yuan, shares the 1300cc, 107kW engine but adds a distinct blue finish and CNC-machined metal trim components.
