Online reviews are shocking - shopping around and had a bad feeling about that company, the reviews confirmed they're not UK based and dodgy enough not to justify saving a few quid, lying about stock and some people received tyres 2-3 years old. Helpful video there 👍

My OCD can't cope with your garage. ;-) I'm looking into a Sky Lift for my Guzzi. Awkward bike to lift if you still want to be able to remove the sump. Do you know where this is made? I've seen some pretty shonky welding with Chinese lifts and wouldn't want to trust a heavy bike on something out of the PRC.

I get were they are coming from but i still think 1 headlight lit looks shite

Great review from an actual owner. I'm glad I watched because of some of the minor short comings and flaws. I do wonder if anything has been upgraded or changed since 2017. The shocker for me is the 12k price tag. You can get a Hayabusa for that much! lol All joking aside, that is a lot of money for a scooter. A very nice scooter but still. Thanks for sharing!

It seems to me to be aimed at smaller people or people who like slim bikes i bought my gsa because of its girth and road presence i had lined up a test ride on both gsa and gs but i never bothered testing the 1250gs
@austinmatthews34711 ай бұрын
You are one of the few that seem to agree with my opinion of the 1300 i testrode same bike you did i am sure they will be ok long term but i own a 72 plate gsa and to me its too small also the engine i found made funny noises the qs is a bit better but i can use mine fine. The extra price is a disgrace also
@SmileyoureonTV11 ай бұрын
I have and had that opinion, I’ve decided that simply its a different Bike its not the 1200 or the 1250, it might have the same father but a different mother. It has grown on me and I will change but, I would say that is so different from the GSA that it’s not comparable. I keep getting told that the 1300 GSA will be so different it might upset the traditional but with anything change brings a different audience. I don’t speak for myself but motorcycling and manufacturing needs to appeal to a younger demographic to stay in business. What they need to make is a woke bike that only goes out in the warm and dry and covered in protection.

err,.. he might have a too small illegal plate, but you have an Ali pressed b/w plate 13:08 which is naughty on a 2019. Would prolly pop off that EVAP carbon canister for giggles. Bikes are the same other than the instrument upgrade and adjustable forks. More radical changes on the 2021, with LED screen and flyby-wire throttle, enabling cruise control and riding modes and loss of what you call 'gubbins'

I put an order in over two weeks ago, nothing received. Called up, cancelled the order, haven't received a refund either. A sham company and dodgy as hell and still the same today as a couple of years ago it seems, reading the comments and reviews against them. Avoid like the plague.

The BMW off road team were there every year when I went before covid. Unfortunately as good as they are it's not enough to tempt me back as the rest of it is the same old tired format, the entry cost is both a lot more than it was and more than other shows at the NEC like the tin tent lot that also includes free parking (for cars) as partbof the price so it's a no from me. I'd rather go to a dealers, have a test ride and drink theif coffee but each to their own.

I wonder how the hell you're supposed to deploy the centre stand.. No one, but no one has covered this yet... It seems you have to put the bike on the side stand first, then bend over to flip the hinged thingy out .. but then, the rear foot peg is in the way to get your foot on it...🤷♂️

I just feel that they tried to please all of the people, all of the time. I am reminded of the movie "Pentagon Wars". They started with a simple enough target. Then others put their two cents in and you are left with a failure. They took one leter of fuel away to make place for a bigger cellular box. You can just as well put your cell in your pocket and have the extra fuel. Weather it is worth it or not. That depends on how much you earn. I don't, but even if I did, it's always better to by the last of a series, than it is to buy the first of a new one. Most of the kinks have hopefully been fixed on the outgoing series.

I’d never exchange it for that new bmw 1300, is rather have that new Suzuki gx than that!!!!
