BMW R1300GS Adventure - When function defines form 

An excellent analysis. I have the R1250 Adventure and will be comparing them as soon as I can. Thanks.

My Stunning 2017 GSA just reached collector's item status............

Excellent video, agree with everything you have said. I’m “slightly surprised “ at the negativity surrounding this new bike. I have a 1250 GSA, really pleased with it and the other 9 GS bikes I have owned. BMW wanted to be different when the GS was first introduced, that Business Model has been incredibly successful! I will be very surprised if that success doesn’t continue. The reason for buying a GS or GSA has changed. The unique design, appearance will never suit everyone.

I was going to sell my bike and stop biking, i really love this new bike..I’m now going to part-ex to buy this one😊😊

With alum. panniers this bike is, almost, as wide as a car ! So : adaptive CC, LCW, CW..... soon, maybe - self steering.... WHY then to sit so uncomfortably ( comp. to car seating position, safety, exposure to elements... ) + get stuck in the traffic jams together with cars...??!! - If a car can be used ( 100 time more silent too ) instead 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ Not to mention the price ! A motorbike is fun, because it CAN go places car can't. Because YOU ride/control it. Yes - the side boxes are not MUST, but 90% of these bikes' owners, drag the boxes along - everywhere, with corresponding consequences ☝☝😆

Well then - did you buy one ❓❓🤔🤔

An incredible piece of engineering and design. But. Everything is just too much. The tech, size and mass. Including the price. I admire it, hugely. But I'd seriously rather have and travel on your old Rally Raid cb500x. Ride safe 👍
