R 1250 GS vs Multistrada V4 S vs Tiger 1200 vs Pan America -Over Rs 1 crore of ADVs! | Autocar India

[@RishaadMody1]

To all the folks asking about the Africa Twin, its not here becuase it is not in this segment. It has a 1100cc engine but produces 99hp in India spec which is far less than anything here. In terms of power, performance, features and price, the Honda is a closer rival to the Multistrada V2 and Tiger 900 than it is to any of these bikes.

[@ducatimultistradav4850]

Very true

[@kailashsingh7169]

Then bring those as well

[@itzsatya1]

1250GS is my ultimate dream. I have started that dream with baby steps, with my G310GS.

[@infinion3]

im watching from California, im completely impressed by ya'll. im impressed by the production & detail, I ride a GS myself.

[@joaoayala]

One of the best, if not the best, comparing reviews I've seen about these motorcycles. Amazing job! Congratulations from Brazil.

[@santspoudel9739]

I will be coming back to this video many a times in future. Kudos to the whole team for producing this masterpiece.

really appreciate the extreme hardwork that has been taken in making such an informational video...what we see is just the lovely cinematics but the effort taken in producing the same is really tough & challenging!!!!!kudos to the entire autocar team 👏👏

[@shreyanschordia2454]

Thank you!

[@asfanahmed2812]

Where is the Africa twin ?

[@ducatimultistradav4850]

Outdated

[@devprakashdidwania678]

Comparison between geared bikes and not a bike cum scooter 😜🤣

[@sumithnallapatii5444]

It is comparable more to tiger 900 bmw 850 gs and v2 multi

[@aryankarotra1142]

What a video it was❤️ Pure delight to watch. GS the undisputed King🔥

[@shreyanschordia2454]

Thanks Man!

[@mweingar]

Really well done on the analysis of the attributes of these bikes. I own the 2022 R1250GSA as well as the 2022 Ducati Multistrada Pike Peak and they are spectacular in very different ways. Nothing I've owned over the last 40+ years of riding has such balance of character as the GSA. I love the Pikes Peak for what it is , a pure "upright" sports bike, but the GSA is the best all around on road and off road bike I've ever owned. And I've owned over two dozen bikes in the past 40 years. Great analysis and the right conclusion in my view. Nicely done.

[@outofcuriosity6031]

Now i see why people crave for GS and why it's the top selling high capacity ADV in the world. Btw, really Great work from ACI. 30 mins of pure content 👏

[@dcxplant]

When the narrator mentioned every bike has electronically adjustable suspension it really hit me how far motorcycling has come since I started riding on my Z50 Monkey in 1974. This is my first viewing of this channel. Excellent quality production, content, and evaluation. Well done! A note about shaft vs chain concerning the BMW. A recent service bulletin requires BMW owners to drop down the final drive and lubricate the splines on the shaft. I know of no other shaft drive motorcycle that requires this. The issue stems from the rubber boots letting water into the final drive.

[@ajojoseph6052]

60K unit sales in 2021 and 40 years of perfecting the machine never lies! GS is the absolute king. It will take a lot to dethrone your majesty. Waiting to see the 1300!

[@jonathanlow3847]

Best review of the bikes in this segment I have ever watched. Thank you! Amazing effort from the team.

[@shivvashishthabhargava4600]

Week after week Autocar India sets the benchmark for quality automotive journalism! This shoot-out has to be an all time favourite till now. ♥️💫 I am sure the ACI team must've been thrilled to have a face-off with these behemoths!

[@jimsoncheng8216]

Thank you so much for the great video. I tend to avoid Indian videos because I can't really understand when there is a thick accent but honestly, this is not only clear, its also informative and done in a very entertaining way. I truly enjoyed the whole video and was craving for more. A 27min review that doesn't feel draggy. Great job guys.

[@ayushmankar4100]

Where is Kawasaki Versey 1000 , Yamaha Super Terner , Honda Africa Twin , Suzuki V-Storm 1050 , KTM 1290 Super Adventure & MV Augusta Turismoveloche ?

[@sureshmanne7245]

Hats off to all you guys for going extreme and bring a video this beatiful with loads of hard work, it really pays off, this is an incredible video comparison of all big gun adv bikes in market now. Thanks again to whole Team, really enjoyed!

[@dineshsinghkachave132]

This video will be remembered for years ❤️❤️

[@ArunSapaare]

Rishaad bro, you are the man among men when it comes to reviewing two-wheelers, awesome job as always. ✌✌

[@user-hb6ms3mb4t]

What a fantastic review. All bases covered. All questions answered. You knocked it out of the park. Well done and thank you. G.

[@sourabhkulkarni9411]

Wait till ktm launches their super Adventure 1290r..... although agreed with bmw gs being the best all-rounder! Also just ride the Honda Africa twin to believe how good it is inspite of being under powered compared to the ones in this video. Africa twin is super smooth and responsive and easy to handle.

[@shakupsakthi3514]

This Video Will Last For Years ❤️ Explained Neatly & Completely ✅ Loved Each One's Perspective ✌️ Thanks For Making This @autocar ✨

[@satan2677]

Great job Autocar team, It’s only when you spend such long hours can one really understand the truer characters of these INSTRUMENTS of commute, - 5 days of travelling -the many man hours to plan and -god know how many people involved in this project, all summarised in a 27min short video, You all should think of a top gear styled 1 hour long episode format with such great ideas! Keep it coming!

[@satan2677]

Or maybe an extended cut!

[@aniketwakankar3560]

Kudos to Rishaad and team! 😎 Phenomenal video guys..can clearly see the efforts you’ll guys have put in..take a bow 🫡

[@mithileshc2937]

Despite all the 4 adv’s out there, I can’t get off my eyes over the beautiful ducati. When it comes to beauty or road presence, ducati anyday!

[@supratimsaha3783]

awesome comparison. you should make one every year just like MCN!

[@ducatimultistradav4850]

MULTISTRADA V4 S AANNYYDDAAYY!!!!! AN ABSOLUTE BEAST 😍😍😍😍😍

[@shrijit5254]

Amazing work guys. Can't imagine the amount of time and effort that went into making this. Mad respect!

[@pankajkusanale93]

Trumph gt Pro and multi strada are road variants here ,while gs and pan am were dual purpose ! Undoubtedly the GS is the ultimate king of the segment and quite expensive. Recently i drove the GS and it's handling is much lighter and nimble than even my 390adv . It's a great machine .

[@sayemumhasan5868]

Missing Africa Twin

[@Cuyose]

Had a 2019 Multistrada Pikes Peak and loved it, looking to get another bike after a couple years away and came across your channel. Very well-done presentation and channel! Definitely leaning towards the GS. One thing I don't see many channels talk about is dealer network and serviceability which is huge in this segment. Not only if you are planning a multi-state (in in US) or multi country, it could be a big deal just ordering parts online. Highly recommend including a blurb about this in your future reviews, but top notch all the way!

[@krishnack79]

Superb review, I have been watching many separate reviews of the v4s, gs, this one has to be one of the most comprehensive I have seen - at par with neevsy from mcn or bike world, well done

[@kaanchanrajagopalan509]

I was indeed looking for a review on the cruise/super bikes. Thank you for the detailed video. And i know my choice now and its BMW

[@itsLaggeR]

Kudos to Autocar Team, Immense level of hardwork for such a quality video that too targeting to a very niche bike category....Love your work

[@varun1036]

Pls make this for the sub 6 to 7 lakh ADVs. Include the Hero xpulse just for context.

[@charuldeshpande1896]

Thats really needed. For the ones who r buying their first adv's that budget is a bit user friendly. Autocar can help us make a better choice💯💯✌

[@champrockz78]

Make similar videos on entry level and mid sized adv tourers. It would be great.

[@venukrithish007]

I already read the article but man was the video so good. The tiger deserves more love though

[@passionandcommonsense]

The outtakes were the best part. Most of us with even half a brain could figure out the conclusion even before we hit the play button. So the outtakes were what I enjoyed the most. It shows the level of work involved in producing a video (of acceptable quality) for even just KZbin. Extrapolate that to a full feature film and let your mind dwell on the complexities. Then imagine that the film sinks without a trace. What must that team feel ? 🤔

[@MediumandrareIn]

Thank you! So much context and usable information here. Appreciate the hard work gone into making this.

[@sundarasrimann7556]

I'm gonna be honest... I always become a victim of Clickbait as soon as I see Rishad in a video, but here it's a different scenario. I was anxious after seeing the thumbnail and then I see that man in the video. Comparison of the Top Adv Motorcycles in the indian market and the Best man to do it, Big Fan Rishad ♥️

[@SpeedyLio]

Autocar India is for sure leveling up the editing game🔥

[@sushilchoudhari3807]

Great video! I really appreciate the effort that is put into the video. Talking about Triumph, I think it is a fantastic bike but always remains under the shadow of that BMW. No question that BMW is the best. But, if I were to spend that much money on a motorcycle, I would go and buy the Tiger. I mean it has its own share of problem just like all of us. It isn't perfect like all of us. Maybe that's what attracts me towards it.

[@WROOMWithKIRANSACHIN]

Rishaad & Rishabh you two have been doing fantastic job and keeping Autocar India as one of the few platforms who gives unbiased reviews, you guys have been helpful in Our selection of Bikes as well! Big kudos to entire team for Putting up such detailed and crisp video along with the product placements in between!

[@kanthmclaren]

One cannot explain any better about 2-wheels other than @Rishaad Mody, absolutely love it.👍👍

[@jibinjosephsebastian1498]

Where is Africa Twin?

[@anupomkonwar1123]

Aah.. Thank you Autocar IN and Rishaad for making such a tasteful video. I've been waiting for a long long time for this. Hope you will make a similar video on smaller segment of adventure tourers such as the 600cc and the 900cc + ones

[@ashleshpai7772]

I like the shots taken on the highways keeping HP petrol pumps in the background🤣

[@Dude_Virus]

Quick Shifter is available as an accessory for the 2022 PanAmerica.

[@clementquirder]

Before i started the video i knew the GS would win best bike overall

[@DukeSky]

The Pan America has Hill Hold and a USB-C port. Excellent writeup. Spot on!

[@blinDTiger0.01]

1:45 matched perfectly with the thar behind. Different vehicles but same purpose.

[@rohannayak3827]

BMW GS 1250 BAAP OF ADVs >>>>>>>. what an amazing content thanks team auto car

[@f1geek202]

honda africa twin must also be added , it's a good competitor

[@samipnair700]

The concept is fantastic but the execution could have been better. The journey itself is so beautiful from Delhi to Mumbai that the information could have been shared with great scenic views and experiences. But majority of the video felt like a spec sheet voiceover with basic camera footage and bikes standing still. Anyways, Kudos Team Autocar, thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@shashanks4639]

Well explained! Can't wait to see more content similar

[@shrikantbadiger3384]

U guys never disappoint with your content....loved it....BTS was awesome.

[@AbhineetSinha25]

i see a lot of videos where you guys go North to South, how about next time explore West to North-east. Would really want to see that, could be a good exposure for N-E states.

[@chetanparse4903]

Thanks, @Autocar India for explaining the Top bike Adventure segment

[@SureshRides16]

Thank you so much Autocar team for this wonderful video 🔥👍

[@shegocrazy]

Only problem with the GS is that they are as common as muck.

[@purnendusaha553]

Amazing work autocar India it's been a hell of a work and a great video hands down!! With lots of years to come. Loved it ❤️

[@idreespadela8148]

That’s lot of hard work guys, appreciate it, thank you for this detailed lovely video!!!

[@musaddiquepinjari]

GREAT JOB BOYS..... WE ANOTHER VIDEO WITH LOWER SEGMENT BETWEEN TIGER 900 AFRICA TWIN AND MANY MORE

[@worklada9533]

Africa Twin is the legend. That's a real deal in adventure touring segment.

[@niketmalu5570]

Outstanding review 👌

[@abymathew295]

It's Really a shame that KTM does not bring their big block Advs into India...🥴🥴🥴🥴

[@themanisingh]

That because they won't be able to provide the quality of Service their big adv bikes demands

[@kenansmart8442]

At 6:08 the editing gave me goosebumps omg

[@jatichsicharta]

This is one of the best comparison reviews on KZbin. Respect en congrats from Belgium.

[@theunknown21329]

Please make more big bike comparos like this!

[@mr.nobody1384]

I was sooo waiting for this

[@purplepancake3566]

Africa twin and Desert X ????

[@winterwarwolf4193]

That lean angle on the Multistrada ❤️

[@SatyamevaJayate_JaiHind]

Waiting for this video for soo long, finally the ultimate battle.

[@corychartier7961]

US always at disadvantage here as Germany gets taxed less on import. But without price consideration if you can handle the height GS is the best in the segment

[@copinonino]

What is the alternative to heavy adv's for tarmac riding across indian highways. 1)Lighter adv's, 2)Supersports if they are lighter?? 3) anything on two wheels. You really need a cross category highway riding shoot-out. Till that happens air conditioned highway driving is the way to go.

[@snehasissarkar522]

A real gem production. Please post videos like this about different segments of bikes.

[@DavidSenna57]

Yooo,where is Africa twin bro,best in segment!

[@legolas87000]

Almost all the videos I've seen that compare the Pan America mention it doesn't have a quick shifter option. I don't know if it's only available in the USA, but it's definitely an option through Harley Davidsons P/A catalog. I've personally installed several over the past couple of years that the bike has been available.

[@jku175]

Without Honda Africa twin CRF 1000 L and CRF 1100 not completely comparable. In my opinion Honda is on the top of Off-road capability among all above bikes . Don’t only compare with power compare with capabilities.

[@brendonfernandes2877]

The Honda CRF 1100 is completely outclassed by these bikes. The Honda is a notch below and competes with the Tiger 900 and Ducati 950 not these bikes. Plus the Honda is badly outclassed on the tarmac which is where most of these bikes will perform.

[@ryanmalone2681]

The need for more brake pressure is a benefit off-road. Couple that with single finger braking and you can delicately get down some gnarled loose descents.

[@anirudhshyam955]

Waiting for a video like this for a long time from ur side...keep up the good work

[@aravindbnr]

Such a nicely put together video , didnt feel like a 27 min video except for those stupid HDFC ads with 30 min car loan if only they knew the waiting period.

[@ThomasConwayteach]

Good review comparison. Thanks, guys.

[@darkmanager2945]

2nd Time, gona come again (PERIOD).....tat true for everyone(at least 5 times)......Great work!!!

[@YouAreOnYoutube]

Enjoyed the video, this making me want to have rider buddies like this and go to Kanyakumari.

[@shree397]

The only bike that strikes a good balance after GSA is Tiger, and of course, it was made to do so at a conservative budget. But Africa twin is just as capable, if not better in certain applications ( DCT gearbox, if you fancy automatic)

[@rajeshchoudharychechi8842]

Outstanding reviews guys. U guys really did a fantastic job and gave us great insight into these Machines. My dream Bike is also 1250 GS. Will get it soon.

[@brendonfernandes2877]

The Honda CRF 1100 is completely outclassed by these bikes. The Honda is a notch below and competes with the Tiger 900 and Ducati 950 not these bikes. Plus the Honda is badly outclassed on the tarmac which is where most of these bikes will perform.

Aways a delight to watch videos in 4K

[@lrollins3255]

Great reviews and information on what the bikes do on the road vs. the Spec sheets. I have seen the Pan American and the BMW go head to head here in the US and of course the Pan American was favored but the explanation that all of you gave for the BMW was priceless. Will wait for another comparison that will include the Africa-Twin and like powered bikes
