addition to being significantly optimised in terms of installation space also offers higher levels of stiffness than the predecessor model . For the rear frame , the previous tubular steel structure has now been replaced with a die-cast aluminium construction . The new EVO Telelever front wheel guide with flex element and the revised EVO Paralever rear wheel guide also provide even greater steering precision and ride stability . Tech-wise , BMW has once again gone all out on the big GS . Dynamic cruise control will be standard on New Zealand bikes with the option to add what BMW calls the Riding Assistant package which adds active cruise control ( which keeps a set distance from vehicles in front of you ), forward collision and lane change warnings . As is starting to become a necessity for the heavyweight adventure class , BMW is also offering as part of the suspension system the option of adaptive vehicle height to help make the bike more approachable . All these new updates to the flagship BMW adventurer have come at a cost , with the new R1300GS priced from a lofty $ 45,990 plus onroad costs .
