Pity the poor test pilots of the motorcycle world. Only a few years ago, they could tootle about on prototypes with nobody the wiser, except maybe some moto-pedant who spotted them at a gas station in the Alps, or something like that. Now? Everybody has a phone camera, and as soon as they see something interesting, they start filming. And that’s how we get our latest look at the new BMW R1300 GS, a machine we expect in coming months.

The latest GS leak comes from Inmoto.it, who ran the video here. We aren’t able to embed it here, but you can check it out at that link, or perhaps try Motorrad’s version of the video, which seems to work better.

Either way, you get the same thing: Somebody got caught on a carefully-camouflaged BMW boxer prototype, out testing on the roads of Italy. And although the cellphone video resolution is pretty potato, you get at least a bit of an idea what the new bike looks like, and what it sounds like.

What else do we know?

We’ve seen several looks at the new GS, in the form of spy shots and other teases. In our last write-up on the bike.

Expect to see this machine released as a 2023 model, maybe even with a tease at the upcoming EICMA show—but we wouldn’t bet on that.
