2025 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure First Ride My Brain Spun Out

[@mikeb24112110]

Thanks for the review. I have mine on order, hoping to see it in January. I got the Trophy with ASA. I'm really excited about it, should be the best bike I've ever owned, and I'm currently riding the 2022 r1250RT, so feeling like the new GSA is going to be better is saying a lot!

[@maraudermitchelli]

You have great taste that’s the bike I would buy. Btw the rt is an awesome bike I’ve never been on one but would like to try it. Let me know when you get your bike ride safe and in peace

[@mikeb24112110]

I'll let you know. Take care.

[@maraudermitchelli]

Please do so in a new comment so I see it. Thank you Mike

How would you compare this GSA to the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES DCT you recently rode? I had the opportunity to ride the older version of the AT (1000) with the DCT for several days and really liked it. Was amazed how quick and smooth the shifting was. Only issue I had was how top heavy it was. I’m guessing it had the 21” front tire. Once moving it was fine, but moving it around by hand was a chore.

Thanks for the video. New sub. How did she feel in the power department compared to the Ducati. This is 25bhp less and 25nm more than my Ducati. I am a Multi V4s owner and keen to know the differences here. Cheers

I think you know that I own a 23 Ducati multi strata V4 rally with 170 hp probably just like your bike are very similar to it. The Ducati is a horsepower monster and I struggle with that because I keep riding that motorcycle faster and faster and faster. It gets up to 130 miles an hour like nothing. The BMW can be driven aggressively and fast the abundance of torque makes up for the slightly lower horsepower than the Ducati, but it is not as fast as a Ducati and that’s probably why I like the BMW. Please stay tuned to the channel because of BMW is in my near future I hope I answered your question to great manufacturers Ducati and Bmw . I don’t think anyone complains about those two brands at least not the owners right safe and in peace.

Paralever

[@maraudermitchelli]

Klauss thank you, I get it confused with Honda Goldwing's front suspension which is similiar. I'm sure I embarrassed myself in the video...did I say telalever...oh boy. I need more comments like yours thank you for watching, commenting and helping. Ride safe and in peace. BTW this bike is a BMW work of art...just great.

Great video - I have a GS coming at the end of the month - so looking forward to it! I used to live in Eastern PA; I always get a little homesick when I see videos like this. [Edit] Still watching, just heard you say you're wearing an air vest. Does that fit under the kidney belt in that jacket? Or did you take the kidney belt out?

[@maraudermitchelli]

Yes it fits under the Kidney belt...often I forget to velcro the belt...I don't know why. Please let me know when you get your new bike in a new comment so I will see it. Ride safe and in peace...I love Pennsylvania!

[@RogersMotorcycleAdventures]

@ I will do!

[@ML-lg4ky]

What’s the cost on that piece?

[@maraudermitchelli]

The bike I ride probably $29k US…as shown. Ride safe and in peace
