Excellent video and excellent company 😊

Have recently returned mine as they split with very little use. No reply to email. I recommend avoiding this company.

Hi, I'm from Brazil and I live here in Brazil. That motorcycle is coming next year. I'm glad the way you talk, because most of the guys talk like they are in a hurry or competition, and it's hard to understand what they are saying. You talk in a good rhythm. Probably I'll buy one. Nowadays I have a BMW GS 1250 , until 56 years old I ride sports bike and now I'm 67 years, and I'm missing the 4 cylinders... Thanks for your opinion!

The number one thing that strikes me is how narrow your roadways are as well as absolutely not run off room. We have bicycle paths wider. What's with cars facing different directions while parked?

👍👍

Great work Murt. You must do a review of Armadillo Customs and their great work

My buddy who u met has a ktm 1290 adventure helmet love it but it's not for me but I have arranged to ride the new 1390 when it's out.. KTM stands for Keeps Taking Money . 🤣

What a total faff to start a bike. How can the manufacturers think all that rig maroll is bettet then just holding in a clutch and using a key. Great review Murt. The more i see of these type of bikes the more i love my old Harkey EVO and GSX 1400.

Had my Super Adventure for 15 months now. Got it from Jim Aim! The roads you filmed on I use every day for my commute. An observation, I think you were in a gear too high for most situations. You were in 4th in 30s whereas I'm in 3rd (was 2nd on my SuperdukeR). It takes the revs a bit higher which gets rid of a low down vibes completely and makes the bike much more responsive. And on those roads most of the time I find the engine much more responsive in 5th. 6th is really an overdrive and not much use below 60 (some will say 70+). Personally I think you were keeping the revs too low thereby accentuating the engine vibes. It's really much much happier above 4k. None of this is any criticism of you or the video, just an observation from an owner. It's nice to see tests done on the roads I use, keep up the good work and maybe see you at Finch on my RD350F2 next year.

It's impressive how KTM have made a monster V twin act so smoothly at low revs around town. My early 1200 Multistrada certainly didn't like low revs. It will be interesting what price this model goes for once the new ones are sitting in the showroom. Thanks for showing us the bike. Hopefully, I'll see you at the NEC

Nice one Murt. I’ve never considered a KTM. Would I at some point in the future? Perhaps. I’m still in love with my GS1300. It would be fun to test ride without doubt. The orange is a bit much for me I’d dial it down with a silver colourway I think and the silencer would have to swapped out for something smaller, black and more attractive. Im test riding a GSA1300 on Saturday with the ASA. I look forward to your review of that big boy.

This is a real world review Murt. I share your excitement and your measured views so well done on this informative vid. Sláinte.

Just started my 400C. RZ this week had some issues but all's well now...Here in the US we got the cinnamon swirl wheels and the flat head light on the '82 Seca 650 which I bought new as a leftover for half the MSRP. That got traded for an '89 bumblebee DT50/LC which is still in service.

Brings back fond memories. I bought a new black 350LC in December '81 from Team Ham Yam Racing who were based in Chester-le-Street at the time. Not sure if they're still in business? Admittedly, it wasn't my favourite bike over the years, as it was a bit light and skitterish over road imperfections, particularly in the wet. Keeping its finish was also a bit of a pain, as the road salt 'loved' it😢. It was, however, great fun to ride and had an exciting (but short) power band. Would like to have another in the garage to tinker with, but prices, even for a rough dog, are unreal.

Loved the Triple Black, what am I saying??? No I really disliked all of them 😂😂😂😂

Fellow GSA 40th anniversary owner here. The main thing I’d love to have on the 1250 GSA, are the “elephant ears” of the crash bars. The 1300 GSA ended the highway peg addition 😅 Other than that, I’m sticking with my 1250. The “improvements” aren’t enough for me to warrant an upgrade, and the design…I can’t get behind it. Although, the new side cases do look good.

I’ve toured Europe last 3 summers on my trusty 1250 gsa 2up. 35k miles later I’ve traded it for the GSA1300 ASA after riding the ASA version. It’s a gearbox that gives you the best of everything you just need to select Road/dynamic modes in combination with either auto or manual depending on how you want to ride…. Sporty, briskly, or touring. Good video 👍

Seen a few reviews of the GSA now. Where as the new GS seems to have gone a bit smaller and more sporty than the 1250 the 1300 GSA is more of what the market expects of a GS/GSA.

Nice one Murt. Wonderful these new gen GS1300s. Incredible what the German boffins do to improve the boxer engine. I expect the GSA to ride very similar to the GS1300 which I’ve owned since March. An absolute pleasure to ride and tour on.

Your riding would benefit from an auto clutch 😂

Like you I have the 150 gsa, I love it . I’ve not ridden the 1300 gsa yet but now seeing it in the flesh at Marshall Grimsby on Tuesday it’s definitely growing on me . I took a big pill in March to upgrade a 23 gs to my 24 gsa so along with that even bigger pill I’m guessing and the fact I’ve got the 3 year service pack I think I’ll be resisting until March 2027 (famous last words 😂) Not sure what colour I’d pick. Marshall’s have all four to ponder over 😬😬😬👀

Great review Murt, thanks for sharing.

Winglets on the crash bars keep the bike more upright on tip overs and function as highway pegs, too. When you test the ASA GSA hit the motorway and try them out. Great way to stretch and relax your legs for a bit.

Thinner engine cases are noisier but contribute to the weight reduction.

My jury is still out on it Murt, until i get to ride it, but i just cannot love that headlight !! Thought there are now some aftermarket racks available to add your old panniers on apparently !

who cares about the luggage rack? Once you have luggage, you won't see it anyway. Nice review though. Try the ASA version, that's what I'm buying. . . .

Have to say looks pig ugly imho.

We need a back to basics BMW R850GS Shaft Drive. No electronic gadgets, well perhaps an electric starter, but thats about it. The sort of bike you can fix with a hammer and spanner.

Good review and nice to meet you

The new GSA is actually heavier than the 1250

The one thing this new GSA does for me is make me think the new 1300 GS actually looks good. Regarding the seat, when I had mine set to Lo/Lo front and rear, it had me leaning forward and sitting on parts I’d rather not be sitting on. When I set it to Hi/Lo front and rear, it leveled out the seat for me - maybe that’s what was going on with your test ride? Thanks for posting, Murt - ride safe - Greg

They already have it maybe the equipment sits better on the 1250. The just said out the 2 the would pick the 1250

great vid on the channel of new vlogs thanks for the share on the channel looks nice bike keep up the great vloigs thanks lee

Great video. Spoke to the Police regarding this bike and they said they prefer the 1250 for their work.

Great review mate, you beat me to it, I will try and ride soon, also want to try the ASA version of the 1300 or GSA 😊

This so called bike is very very ugly and like a lot of modern bikes but especially BMW takes away the actual experience of what it is to ride a bike because of all it's computer do das. Where is the wind in your face, the wrestling your bike around corners , the feel of what the bike is doing under you, even the exhuast sounds like it does not want to offend Joe Public. Bland, ugly and as far removed from bike riding as anything on two wheels can get. I would love you to get off one of these and straight on to an old school bike where you have to use your hard learned but I am sure not forgotten true bike riding skills with out any of these let's make it a car on two wheels aids. I bet you a pint Murt I know which bike would give you a bigger buzz. I hope all is good with you and Sally Cuz.

I totaly agree about the Mutant - In my opinion the best Trai tyres I ever had ( I ride in all weathers in the countryside and they are very loyal onwet-slippery roads

They do look 👀 good in the flesh. I haven’t ridden it yet but when it’s time triple black with the forged wheels will be next.

The standard GS is a bike I'm considering. If I'm honest, I don’t love the engine sound, although I suspect I would like the performance. It has loads of tech that some will love, but I'm not so keen. I still think the 1250 GSA is a MUCH better-looking bike compared to the 1300. Good to hear the thoughts of an existing owner.

Good lord what have they done

I have had my Nav VI for about 18 month now, and no issues. I can se that your Nav VI have the blue background color and I think that the screen is the issue. When I baught mine it came with the new updatet screen and here is the background black. I have seen videos on youtube where you can buy a new screen and change it yourself

That's pretty cool bro. Great sharing. I'm glad to add my self to your channel. Greatings from the Philippines. Have a great day ahead brother

Thanks Murt for another great video of the Airborne Month. Thumbs up!

I had one for years

Bought m’y Navigator VI 7 years ago. It worked fine until this summer. Ghosting. Went to our local BMW dealer. Service told me they knew of the problem but couldn’t help me. They gave me a service place in Montreal that could send it somewhere for repair. But before leaving the parts service guy gave me a possible solution. He said when sunny outside put your Navigator on your car’s dash so it would become very hot. My Navigator being useless I had nothing to lose. Tried that a few days and now my Navigator is born again!!! Is this a real solution or just a coincidence I don’t’ really know for sure. But at least it worked for me. For the moment.

Another great video mate. Keep ‘em coming.

great vid on channel thanks for share thanks lee
