Canberra BMW Motorrad
Motorcycle enthusiasts in Canberra had the ride of a lifetime at the recent BMW Motorrad GS Experience. This exclusive, invitation-only event took place over the 14th and 15th of May at the picturesque Cotter Avenue Picnic Area and the surrounding gravel roads, bringing together riders from across the region for an unforgettable adventure!
Participants were treated to test rides on some of the latest and most exciting models in the BMW GS lineup. The featured motorcycles included the R 1300 GS Trophy, the R 1300 GS Triple Black, the F 800 GS Sport, the F 900 GS Enduro, and the G 310 GS. Each bike offered a unique riding experience.
The event was organized with four sessions each day, ensuring personalized attention and ample riding time for every participant. With only six spots available per session, riders had the opportunity to engage deeply with the motorcycles and receive expert guidance from our experienced team.
Attendees ranged from seasoned off-road riders to those newer to the adventure scene. The event kicked off with an introductory briefing covering safety protocols and session structure, followed by guided test rides that navigated through the scenic landscapes of the Cotter.
One of the standout aspects of the event was its seamless execution, with no accidents reported and every session running smoothly. Mick Andrews, Canberra BMW Motorrad’s Sales Manager, expressed his gratitude by saying, "everything ran so well, so thank you to the whole team who made it happen. We had no accidents, everything ran awesome."
Due to the high demand and quick sell-out of the event, future GS experiences in Canberra are eagerly anticipated. Canberra BMW Motorrad hopes to collaborate with BMW Motorrad Australia to bring larger-scale events to the area, similar to those held in Melbourne and Sydney. This expansion would aim to accommodate the growing number of BMW enthusiasts in Canberra and surrounding regions, including the western areas and the south coast.
Canberra BMW Motorrad’s Marketing Manager, Izi Tanewski, said that it was “incredible to see so many riders come together and share their passion for adventure," she said that “events like these really celebrate the spirit of BMW Motorrad and bring our community closer."
