Hi, This is an unknown brand but works really well. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B096RW82VQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Thanks. Do miss the X7 for everything else but these issues.

Awesome. Thank you for the feedback. I am also loving it.

Yes it is still luxurious despite the cheaper plastic compared to the last generation

Cheers 🥂

Ford Expedition Max is the long version of it that is the direct comparison with Subarban of you want comparable cargo space. But even the regular length Expedition has better seating capacity in the third row. However, from driving perspective and gas mileage, and engine, Expedition is my choice.

Agreed.

Yes I install the cardo packtalk edge which can only be mounted externally. The visor opens all the way only. But so far the best helmet that I have had.

It still has one of the worst mileage in the category. Even Lincoln Navigator has better mileage and not to mention some of the real high performance European Suvs such as BMW X7 etc. That is why saving on such materials and still charging more than $100k just doesn't make sense to me.

Thank you brother. :)

Hi, I am 6 ft, and I had to get a high comfort seat. For me now, it is quite comfortable overall. However, for your height, the main concern I would have is the seat to peg distance, which seems a little shorter than I would like. If you don't mind a little more bend in the knee angle, it may be OK. I would highly advise putting handlebar risers for additional comfort. Suspension wise, I strongly suggest the adaptive suspension unless you ride off the road mostly. Both will be fine for your height. I hope this helps.

@@desi_enthusiast thank u 🙏 ! But the sport suspension add 2cm and it’s not compatible with the adaptive height control system

Agreed. However, based on your question regarding comfort, the height on the adaptive suspension will be enough, the major challenge will be the seat to pegs distance that will still stay the same. Yet, the other advantages that the adaptive suspension offers can really enhance your riding experience. At least, that's my opinion based on riding bikes with both suspension setups. The sport suspension is also very good but lacks the precision and stiffness for spirited riding the way the adaptive suspension provides. My suggestion is to test ride both and then decide. Good Luck.

@@desi_enthusiast a lot thanks 🙏

Hi. Yes, I was aware of it, but it didn't engage that time, and I was in a rush. :) But you are right that Hill Hold will take care of that issue.

No need to extend the cables. The original length is long enough to cover the change in handlebar height and extension.

No, at the end, he decided to hold off buying a Lucid until the SUV came out.

Thank you so much. Truly appreciate the encouragement.

I have addressed that in my videos after this one. Please try to ride most other bikes with quick shifters such as BMW S1000 XR, even BMW K1600 and numerous other Ducatis , Triumphs and most Japanese bikes equipped with quick shifters. Roll on or roll off shouldn't matter with a slipper clutch. Now that I have had this R1300 GS for a couple of months, I am dealing with it better. However, at best, I can describe this quick shifter as the best in the BMW boxer lineup, but no way near the best ones out there as a whole.

Thank you Thank You :)

It's my pleasure. Thank you for providing such a great opportunity despite the challenging weather.

Thank you for your feedback.

You are welcome. Here is the link to the risers. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006635256865.html

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks for your feedback. Yes I will attach the links in the description.

Thanks! Both are unbelievably good in different ways, but the tech, better highway comfort, relaxed cruising, low-end grunt, handling, better resale value and shaft drive sealed it for me. However, the accessories for the 1300gs are so hard to get. Even the crash guards that I bought have a long wait. XR once it gets going is just simply intoxicating. Good Luck

Absolutely agreed. Thanks

I really appreciate your feedback. I think I am now getting the hang of this shifter slowly. However, I think you probably misunderstood the point of my gripe, or maybe I could not explain it well enough. All I am saying is that yes, when I compared this quick shifter with the previous GS generations, it is absolutely much better but if I compare it with any of the non boxer engine bikes, it isn't. I will soon upload a comparison of how the shifter in the S1000XR works seamlessly in both generations. You can also watch my video of the K1600s, the 2023 GTL, and a recent video on K1600 B as reference, too. In almost all of them, you really don't have to worry about the throttle positioning at all. This is the primary function of the slipper clutch. That's where I was a little disappointed because of so much hype about it. Hey, but I bought this bike despite that because it is just so good otherwise.

@@desi_enthusiastyea I have no doubt it is smoother on the K1600 and XR. Enjoy your new bike and I look forward to seeing more videos.

Thanks 😊

My pleasure. Yes it is waterproof

Thank you for the tip. I tried both road and rain modes. It is unpredictable, but I know that one can get used to it. Just spoiled by creamy shifters of other bikes such as S1000XR, K1600 Triumph Tiger, Goldwing, and many others, where it doesn't matter whether you are off throttle or WOT. But this is an unbelievable bike otherwise.

I agree. My 2020 XR was butter smoother. I am currently on a 2022 GSA which I competed in the GS Trophy qualifier this year on. My 1300 is sitting in a crate waiting to be shipped from Germany. @@desi_enthusiast

Awesome. That sounds like a lot of fun. 👍. I also bought the second but swapped the low seat with high comfort one. Honestly, the good quick shifters work both ways. Throttle off or on. So people who only have experience with a certain types of bikes might want to try the ones with great quick shifters instead of trying to tell us how it is done. 😀

The Eduro package also comes with sport suspension that is not adaptive and it is different from the one I am riding in this video. I bought this bike by the way. You also might want to ride some bikes with great quick shifters where throttle off or on is irrelevant.

@@desi_enthusiast That is awesome. I get mine on Wednesday. The Enduro package does not come with the sport suspension. It is a separate option. It retains all adaptive systems but does not lower. It is 20mm higher than the standard suspension.

I know but that's out of habit and on the S1000 XR, and K1600 as well as even on a 2012 Kawasaki Concours, Triumph tigers of all generations, Honda Goldwing and many other bikes, it just does not make a difference whether you close the throttle or not. So that's why I was surprised.

Thank you for the feedback and correction. I realized that after I had already uploaded the video. Please also checkout my new video on the GS 1300 with a low seat. it took care of most of my gripes. :) Really loved that one in comparison to the trophy. The trophy looks better though.

Thank you for your feedback. I did talk about those aspects as well but will better next time. However, please watch the new video on the one with low seat where I elaborated on these aspects in comparison to the trophy.

No you can't at least I couldn't figure out. But I have even more annoying shift light on my S1000XR as well and that I know you can't turn off.

Wind protection is at 4:20 mark and one more time later. I am not sure if you skipped it.

It is set at 5,500 for the break in. Normally you can set the shift light for whatever you want, but perhaps during the break in period you have no choice?

You can, as I've seen on other videos ( for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGXMnGyIr7J9bqc ). Anyway he gave us a lot of wrong infos... so I stopped to see the video at 2:00. For example Enduro pack doesnt mean higher bike... The sport suspension means 20mm higher bike.

Lol. Sorry to annoy you, but usually, it provides rider's perspective in cases such as the quick shifter harshness effect in the lower gears. But point noted.

I just watched the video after your comments, and I see that I can certainly reduce the size of the secondary window to make it less annoying. I did that in the new video. Again, I truly appreciate the feedback and suggestions.

Thanks. Haven't bought it yet. Check out my new video on the GS 1300 with low seat from a daily ride perspective and comparison with the this GS trophy.

I also loved the Harley Pan America and wanted to buy it, but overall, qaulity was lacking and the engine heat just a big turn off.

Thank you so much for the great feedback. Really glad that it was helpful. Go for it. 👍
