Great review. Very helpful 👍 Always good to have the info & knowledge from a BMW rider who has vast experience & knows the GS like the back of his hand. Maybe I'll meet you one day. I'm a big fan, you really are a hero in the GS world of bikes! Keep them videos coming like the Scottish rain 😉.... Ride safe 👍
Decent review there, the 1300 looks have grown on me with my favourite the 1300 trophy not sure about the adventure model though. Looking forward to trying the 1300 Great review 👍
PS. And I found the 1300GS so much more difficult to lift off the side stand. The 1300GS is a little more powerful than the 1250GS but not a great amount.......my 1250GS is fast enough, lol
Sorry to hear that you didn't like the fit on it. I purchased the Enduro version with the 20mm higher suspension and I found that suited me much better than the height of the standard R1300GS. Cheers C.B.
Ugly? I think that’s a bit harsh, as an owner of both GS1200, GS1250 and New G1300… it’s no ugly 😂😂😂 it’s just moved forward with time, surely you didn’t want BMW to stand still keeping a design that is now a little dated.. I love my ugly bike and she is now a weapon on the road.
@@andrewsoldan6050 Hi Andrew thanks for watching my video and commenting. But it's all about opinions and I'm sticking with mine for me it's my best GS ever having had 5 now and rode well over 100,000 miles on them as I've travelled in six Continents on my travels round the World C.B.
@@robsonenduro3316 Hi thanks for watching my video and commenting. It's all about opinions. EU laws were responsible for the light design change and both the X light and the rear stop lights incorporated in the indicators are legal As l said in my video l love my new GS, it's all down to personal taste Cheers C.B.
BTW how BMW got even road homologation with this wanna be, ugly headlamp and lack of proper stop light is beyond me. It's dangerous to ride bike like this!
@@caledonianbiker thanks pal i bought my first ever gs in aug 22 shes a r1250gs adv rallye te shes a nice bike for me its better than gs as for the 1300 its far to0 expensive its got a cheap pressed steel chassis as apposed to the lovely expensive tube frame on 1250 its wiered looking from the front needs all new luggage has had numerous issues. I test rode one on i can safely say its not better enough to justify the price tag this gsa of mine is my first and shall be my last
@@austinmatthews347 Hi thanks for your honest response it's all about opinions and what suits you best for your own requirements All the best and l wish you miles of smiles on your trusted GSA. C.B.
@@caledonianbiker thanks mate truth is upto about 2018 i thought any bmw boxer bike was hideous then i got curious and started looking at thr hexhead rt bikes i bought a 2005 in late 18 had it a year crashed it in scotland fixed it sold it went back to jap 4s then in 2021 i wanted another so i bought a lower mileage hexhead rt had it a year then sold all my bikes and bought a new s1000xr in april 22 rode it 5 months and 3.5k decided its not for me so luckily for me i had paid 3k under config price due to it being an ex display bike from a dealer closing down at trade in i lost only £400 on my new gsa and i have to say the boxer bikes are very good all round
