Do I like this BMW 1250GS better than my F750 GS 

The first proper review of a bike I have seen on RU-vid. Good mix of road surfaces sensible speeds and realistic riding. Thank you.

It is nice to see a ride and review of a bike ridden the way you did. Watching reviews of want to be racers riding wheelies and sliding tires and shifting just short of red line do people like me who keep bikes for years no good. I like to hear the engine and see how they run at low speed in stop and go towns as well as how they do on faster roads. Thank you.

Hi! The thing with the position of the sidestand is interesting. I have a 750GS for nearly two years now (and love it) after riding a Suzuki Bandit 600 for 26 years and I'm still struggling with the sidestand😂 It's too far in the back to me. My left foot is always "searching" more in the front...😉 My friend is heading for a big GS, so your comparison / impression is pretty welcome. Thank you!😊

Enjoyed the video , Joones. The GS is a huge heavy bike. I like the Moto Guzzi V85TT. RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

Having test ridden the 1250, 1200, 850gsa, and the 750, I still to this day prefer the 750gs, for both on road and off road, off road now that I have upgraded my suspension and the wheels, the 750 is so undervalued in the GS line up, but it has the identical 850 engine with a little less power sitting at 77bhp which can be unlocked to its full potential if wanted, but not really needed, the front wheel of 19 inch is absolutely phenomenal on the road, and she just turns with ease, off road if you are a bit more experienced then the 19 doesn't make much difference over the 21 to be fair, but I am coming from a motocross background in my youth. I am hoping the Mansell Collection here has the 1300gs on test soon, so I can have a crack on that bike, my mate Greg Mansell just sold his 1250gs and has bought the 1300gs now, but again, his experience off road is up there with some of the best, and he has taken his 1250gs on the TET in some really rough conditions, and he hill climbed that thing up Bouley Bay. Horses for causes, I am not even tempted at selling my 750gs at the moment, as nothing comes close to its perfection and performance and its dynamics, she is a unicorn which definitely isn't given enough praise or push by dealerships and the manufacturer.

I'm getting the exact TROPHY edition soon ❤❤❤

A very nice and honest review. I think the 1250 engine really surprised you. The torque you get in this engine must be intoxicating

That a Mothership Jonas! Had a 1200GSA for many years and loved it for travels and as well for local funrides. The front suspension is wonderful on curvy asphalt, not so fun on wet trails or offroad. The 19" front wheel makes difference as well, not ideal for gravel but for twisty backroads. My sfsrti it's career as a Alp turer with Bibbi onbthe pillion. But it really got it's fair share of grusbus! I had a 690 Enduro ar the same time and that took over the riding time I had. More fun for what i did locally and as well on many travels. I want to try the 1390 though just for fun.

After riding this bike all of a sudden your 750 feels light as a feather when takinh it off the kickstand 😊

I haven't ridden the 1250 .I have a 2013 1200GS with factory low chassis ,and have the low seat . I cope fairly well,being 5'6' ,but have to be careful on lean angle parking .I rarely fill the tank right up ,and in comparison ,the 1250 weighs about 10kg more than my 1200 . They are easy to ride,but the weight can be an issue for an older guy like me, especially when moving it around .I love the telelever front suspension .I can see tho why you like your F750GS..nice bike ..

Interesting test ride . How was the screen on the motorway? Did you get much wind buffeting? Your audio set up seemed to cope well with the higher speed, anyway. :-)

I think the F1250GS has a slighrly shortet wheel base and steeper rake than the 750 which is a bit more traily in dimensions. I have a 750 and i struggle slightly with it feeling top heavy - both ar slow control (very little margin of error) and even on bends - does anyone know what difference upgrading the suspension might make?

"Passar "pecis", lite för stor" 😉😂

What bike do you have?

What were you doing with the seat ?

So you have 2 bikes or you was just doing a test ride to see if you like it? I think it is too big and heavy for you as it would be for me too having short legs. I keep the air out of my rear shocks on my goldwing so I can almost put my feet flat on the ground. The problem with having short legs. Thanks so much. Great review. 🙂

Bara kört 1250:n en gång, men har många mil i sadeln på den tidigare 1200:an! Precis som du säger, fantastiskt välbalanserad och fin hoj som känns betydligt lättare än vad den är! När den är på rull åtminstone... 😅
