Freakin nice

do you like the shocks?

It's a long way to Canada from there. You should have gone up in mid October.

The Harley’s true negotiating power is comfort on long roads as far as the bike itself. But the tangible benefits it brings are vast. I don’t have a Harley. But I have t-shirts from Vegas through California and in the Islands of Hawaii. BMW is the utility knife of motorcycles. And I want to say that the 1250 GS has a good safety feature. You can see it on the road due to the high center of gravity of the rider.

Traded my 2018 heritage for a 2022 r1250 gs a couple of years ago. The BMW dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse. The only regret I have u that I didn't make this move sooner. At 67 and carrying a few physical impairments, if this gs hadn't come along, I probably would have had to hang up my key fob. It is the most comfortable and well balanced bike I've ever owned. Thank you BMW.

Why the music😭

Was also thinking of switching from HD Ultra Limited to 1250GS as I am older and would love to shave some weight. I usually do long road trips and was wondering what you thought of the overall wind protection. I do mostly highway riding and don't plan for much off road. Probably spoiled by the faring I think. Test rode a 1300gs and it certainly was a different ride. I found wind and road noise to be quite a bit more than my HD. Thanks for your input!!!!

Nice ride & video - heading to the AM area next week for 2 weeks - cant wait to climb this mountain !! Including the Catskills & Stowe, VT - 2 wheels down - Tim from Ohio

Where did you get the carb?/ carb parts

How are you liking these? I'm thinking about it.

The Harley culture is not made up of hard core riders like it use to be. Harley riders don't travel like they use to. They trailer them. You are completely WRONG.

Excellent video

we had a white and black one, freekin nuts.

Looks great but you should of had someone hold the camera for you. I got dizzy from watching.

Easy choice

Bringing classics to life my man

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I've been on the fence for weeks on whether to buy a 2024 1250GSA or a 2024 Street Glide. This put me over the edge and I will be buying the GSA tomorrow. Really great presentation (honest and not condescending) and points. The Harley dealer here in Meridian, ID is absolutely HORRIBLE! A matter-of-fact, there are so dishonest I don't think I would ever buy another Harley-Davidson...........and I've owned 6 of them.

That looks amazing ❤

Diem itu punya seeng

I really want me a street glide

Any regrets?! How do you like the boat/ having. Jett boat !? I’m trying to pull the trigger on one -

That softail transmission looks a lot like a touring model transmission, are they the same ,?unlike the evo softail models the softail models the transmission cases are different etween softail models and touring.

Man thank you for covering this comparison. I’ve been seriously trying to talk myself out of trading off my 2019 SGS. I’m just so over spending all this cash on “fixing” what HD should’ve had on these from the get go. That and, for me anyway, the HD culture is more of a con than a pro. I need to get on a GS and either pull the trigger or spend the money on more HD mods.

Wow.

Worth about 25,000 right there 💯💪🏁😎

In my neighborhood!

Where did you start your trip from?

Duuuuude. I was thinking "no way would anyone compare these 2", because that's exactly what I'm looking at for a long-distance bike. Sure enough. There you are. I actually typed in "gs" btw, because I figured no one would actually choose a GSA to compare. LOL.

Ahhhh Saddlemen, the prettiest, shittiest seat in the game. I had an odd experience with them. I custom ordered one for my Street Bob and they were super responsive and helpful. I received it, mounted it, went for a ride with my girl and the damn pillion metal (where the backrest would attach) was digging into her...um...stuff. Apparently it was incredibly painful and while I could let that go since I ride a lot solo, the seat itself had me splayed out a bit more than stock. Ultimately, I wanted to return it. Well, guess what, it was at that point (same day I received it) that Saddlemen was no longer interested in returning emails. So, if you want a pretty seat, outstanding. Their diamond stitch looks great. If you want comfort, that's subjective. Didn't work for me. If you want customer support, LOL. It doesn't exist unless you're trying to order something.

Do you use loctite on the top and bottom shock mount bolts? Manuel says use 2701 but wasn’t sure how necessary it is.

👍👍👍 from Lithuania. Thanks

That's awesome sir. Thanku. Mine is an 2005

Nice wrapping up my 01 kx project not guna lie tho loved tusk until I tipped over in sand and blew the threads out and was stuck in 2nd gear

How do I tell what production number the bike is?

What are you running for tires?

I have the same bike, waves from North Carolina

"Smooth as glass"? - LOL clearly you have NOT been in the south sir! :) The south is one big Pot Hole!

Awesome

Wow just stunning,,i have the same bike but it don't look like this ha but it still rips

You mess up the video with that music

It's ironic running across this video. I've owned Harleys, it was actually the first MC I ever bought and rode. Then I found European bikes...hello lean angles! It's a struggle for me b/c my wife has nothing to do with riding and spending $30k on a hobby only I participate in can be a touchy subject so it's 1 bike at a time for me. My current ride is a '23 GSA Trophy like yours. HD holds a special place in my heart. I love them and think they are the best looking and sounding bikes on the road. I do not like the HD culture though, so much so, it keeps me from the brand. I ride with some guys who own/ride HDs and they are not the "typical" HD rider. These folks also own European bikes so I don't know what it is that's different. I would love to buy another Road Glide (would be my 3rd) and I still may do it. But what ultimately stops me is that constant wondering if I should've stuck with the BMW. The other main negative to me that you didn't mention is how limited HDs are on lean angle. I scraped floorboards left and right constantly when I had my HDs. I have a small group of folks I ride with and where I live and that's great for me. I don't tend to search people out to ride with and honestly, if I see someone asking in a group about finding someone to ride with, it's a red flag for me. I prefer to meet people "the old fashioned way" so I can make a judgement call based on talking to them in person. BMW isn't the only one who wants you to go to a dealer for any service. Ducati is even worse about it. In the part about chain adjustments, they tell you to see the dealer. At least it was on my Multistrada V4S. Fortunately, I have the Motoscan app with a cheap Android device so I can reset the service light on my GSA. You can pony up and get the GS-911 if you want more functionality.

Which pads did you use? Looks simple enough, I was a little anxious doing it myself but after watching this I’m confident. I looked at Dennis Kirk and most kits don’t have everything yours did. I have a 19 road glide.

Why not just attach the positive to the red capped post next to the battery? Works great. Less work.

Thanks for the instructions. It was a. Breeze

Love the videos, brother. I’d be a little nervous breaking ice in some of those puddles (rutted and soft bottoms?). Just ordered the Richochet Skid Plate for my 23GSA.

Thanks for posting. Planning to do the same to use for a power source for an air pump and charging.

I don't mind visiting the dealership and looking at beautiful machinery. If Harley folk are going to dissuade me from an outing because I'm riding a BMW....they're not worth hanging out with....

I'm looking to pick one of these up soon, thanks for the great review! Oh, Husqvarna Norden 901...I have one of those as well and absolutely love it!

Después de este proceso , toca pintar la pieza ? O se puede dejar así ?

Thank you, this has be really helpful in finding my bikes year.
