What made the maiden model even more distinctive was its Fine Silver Metallic paint, which Harley applied not just to the tank and fenders, but also to the frame. And so, the Gray Ghost was born.

I’m probably the least mechanically inclined motorcyclist I know (my editor, Lance, may argue otherwise). It wasn’t always that way, though. As a beginner rider, no project seemed too ambitious.

BMW completed its 1,300 cc boxer-driven lineup by introducing the 2026 R 1300 RS and R 1300 RT. Joining the R 1300 GS adventurer and R 1300 R roadster, the tourers bring two flavors of road-oriented travel to the range. The RT sides with a classic touring approach while the RS sprinkles some sporty ingredients into the recipe. The family ties run deep, too, with both models sharing componentry among each other and their other R 1300 relatives.
