BMW R1300 GS | Went Back to the Karoo 4s, and Here's Why! 

It does look leaner without the bars, but they're good cheap insurance.

I've owned every category of bike there is. This is my second adventure bike. I bought it because it's versatile (the swiss army knife of bikes). It's comfortable.

Fact. I do this with all my bikes and cars. Fortunate enough to be able to do it. Cheers!

They've been fine for me. Once I run through them, a road based tire will be mounted.

I've looked at them, but I think I'm set on the Road 6s. I'll consider many tires when the time comes.

My 1250 GSA came with Anakees on them. They suck. They are loud and although they are pretty good on road, they are deadly on dirt and gravel. Like riding on ice. And they track any line in the road. Some roads have damage from a tractor dragging something that digs a mini ditch in the road. The tires get in that and track it and it’s annoying. I’ll put continental or metzeler next time. But glad they are working for you. 👍🏻 I have continentals on my Harley and average well over 6000 miles on a set. Had Metzeler on the Z1000 for over 2000 miles and still had a lot of tread left when I sold it. Guy who bought it thought they were new. But I had Metzeler on all the Kawasakis I’ve owned.

@@KornholeeooNever seen that on any Gs. I have used the Anakees on my last GS in all weather and pushed hard never noticed any difference in noise and couldn’t complain about the wet road grip. Noisy tyres on a Gs is like the no backlit button argument. Miles better than the Karoos but not as good as road 6 or t32s.

Thanks. It's the Sport.

Many here in the US also come with the Next 2s.

Nope. Mine originally came with the Karoo 4s so they went back on. The video explains why...

Went with the Givi rack as it's the only rack that mounts directly to the OEM Vario top rack. The Motech Adventure rack doesn't do that and requires you to purchase Motech's rack for it to fit on.

That would be great.

It's nice to have friends... ;)
