I sold my KTM 890 Adventure R this year because it was such an uncomfortable motorcycle on the road. Off road it was fantastic. I considered the outgoing R1290 but it seemed more touring and not enough adventure. This new one should do the trick. Love everything about it!

[@JPX8]

I love the new design and really dig the white version - very clean look. 😍

[@bmwmotorrad]

We love to hear that! Where will your first adventure take place? 🙌

[@MALVSMACHINE]

I can’t wait to ride one of these. Good job BMW, a nice variety for all kinds of rider. I’ve got my eye on a Trophy 😊

[@bmwmotorrad]

The BMW R 1300 GS Trophy is waiting for its first adventure! 😉🔥

[@benjamainsam8044]

Hello malvs kindly i need your help

[@MALVSMACHINE]

@@benjamainsam8044 Hi, what help are you needing?

[@thetubelesschannel]

Liked it and then bought it, wonderful bike !

[@gentleman279]

Africa twin look. I’m a GSA rider since 2002. I think, I will keep my 1250 GSA forever.

[@Brad-RB]

Everytime I see the R 1300 GS, I love it more. ❤

[@mollyfilms]

I feel it’s lost something. It now doesn’t look like a tourer or a sports bike? I haven’t seen it yet in the flesh so to speak so I do hope I’m wrong. For now the 1250 looks a better looking bike. Only my opinion obviously.

[@forexsniper1164]

I think the tourer look was kinda ugly. Infact, it’s what I didn’t like about it. BMW makes touring bikes, but the sportier look imo will bring in you gets lads like me into the market. I love the way it looks and it still looks comfortable

[@kirkdog4788]

They’re leaning more towards dual sport in terms of looks and how it’s being marketed. Watch the video again. Most of the background and action scenes are off-road and standing up on the pegs. They’ve taken aim at KTM, particularly the 890 and 1290 Adventure.

[@JCCamp]

@mollyfilms because it’s neither? It’s an all-road adventure bike. Granted, one that most people use on-road exclusively, but we can all dream…

[@kooler999ify]

The headlight is hideous

[@SoundmanCH]

Thought the same, initially. You will change your mind once you saw it in flesh, and you rode it. The only downside is the sound. I hope to fix this with an aftermarket slip on exhaust.

[@roncoleman8351]

Does it still require valve adjustments like the 1250, and if so, at what intervals?

[@MrHornig]

Great video 👍

[@boystoysandadventure]

No mention about the all new engine?

[@alan36753]

Can't wait to try one, probably end up buying one but I smiled when he said some competitors copied the GS as it's no accident that this one looks more Ducati than BMW (thankfully...)

[@marceloaraujo5978]

Evolution is part of the process in everything around us. This new design concept that BMW is introducing is not easy for me to face, even knowing that BMW is looking for the future, because I simply love the current design, I have a 2011 GS Adventure, and for me this is the real GS of my generation! now a new generation of riders is coming, and maybe BMW has in mind a GS for this new generation of riders…anyway, I will keep with my 2011 GS Adventure, but I will be open to have this new one!…after all is a BMW technology with 1300 CC!!…my goodness!! the power of this machine will rock sure!!

[@seazv]

Is the new aluminum rear frame resistant for travel fully loaded two up? In my current ktm 1290 SA T, I usually travel with 235 kg (two up + luggage) that's like 20kg more Thant what the manual indicates a not a problem.in 4 years. Can this bmw support that load? Another question, the new DSA suspension also adjust the preload of front spring?

[@bmwmotorrad]

Hi Samuel, thank you for your questions! Our new GS can hold a maximum payload of 228kg. 🙌 And to your other question: Yes, the preload of the front spring is adjustable. 😊

[@seazv]

@@bmwmotorrad thanks, looks like found so my next bike

[@bmwmotorrad]

Great choice! 😉

[@seazv]

​@@bmwmotorrad last question, how many Kilometers with a full tank fully loaded??

[@TheSuperpod]

I love the new design and overall design work and direction. If I was an adventure rider I would have purchased it, but since I am a sport tourer kind of guy I ordered the new M1000XR. Keep up good work , BMW Motorrad

[@bmwmotorrad]

Thank you! 🙌 We appreciate it and you also made an excellent choice with the BMW M 1000 XR! 😉

[@roadglide]

I absolutely love it BMW! Bravo. Well done. Can’t wait for Demo Days. Woohoo!

[@bmwmotorrad]

We really appreciate that! We are also looking forward to your feedback! 🙌😊

[@roadglide]

@@bmwmotorrad Absolutely. 100%!

[@JesusAlleineRettet]

Is there an Option changing cheap looking Mirrors including Radar Systems. Why not having great Mirrors for a great System. I recognize this right at the premiere of the GS. Ducati uses special mirrors not plastic ones.

[@yanaila23]

Mmm... is the protection from the air for long routes as good as the previous bike? The bike seems less aerodynamic, less protective for long trips

[@Alive.and.dreaming]

How do you turn it on ? There is not a button as before under the LCD screen

[@hasse7487]

Schön! Danke von Sweden

[@seppkomet7234]

Hab die Triple Black heute beim Händler durch den Vorhang gesehen.... Isch schon um einiges filigraner als die 1250... schaut mörder aus. Und.... das Frontlicht ist megacool... Aber der Schalthebel aus Aluguss im Gelände? Wäre Stähl nicht besser? Denn fast in jedem Buschdorf gibt es einen Schweissapperat. Entweder auf einer Geländetour Ersatz mitnehmen oder vielleicht gibt es was im Zubehör.... Bei mir wäre die Trophy die Nr. 1

[@joebogger4776]

Absolute top performance of the entire team. What a performance full of innovations. In blind trust, I ordered as soon as possible. BMW Motorrad delivered and far exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to get my two days before publication ordered GS deliveredin exchange for my current 1250. For me, the GS remains the perfect motorcycle. Thank you!

[@bmwmotorrad]

Hello, thank you for your blind trust! You will certainly not regret it! 😉💙

[@stocks7765]

they paid you to write this?

[@charlesbradley2943]

Sorry to see that he doesn’t know his engine history. The R1250GS is not 10 years old. First year was 2019.

[@itskylehale]

Incredible. This bike looks amazing. I can't wait to test ride one. I have the 2013 BMW R1200GS and it's been such an amazing bike. I can only imagine the advancements/improvements in this latest model.

[@skyworks1621]

I never liked the GS design. The new one, looks slim and lighter. I like it. Grettings from Suzuki Vstrom 1050 rider.

[@slady2567]

Sehr GUT Danke

[@s.venkateswarpatnaik2484]

Great BMW Adventure motorcycles and I liked your video and the motorcycles🎉

[@ErinAlkyre]

I want to know how well this bike would handle on non-sandy, rocky trails (I ask because so far every advertisement I've seen have been on relatively nice dirt roads). Currently I've got a '93 R100GS that I take out on some pretty rough jeep trails. I love it because it's not a monstrously huge bike, has fantastic handling, and can go over all types of terrain. I wonder how well the R1300GS would compare to it in those regards. How much harder is it to pick up if it's dropped or more difficult to handle the greater weight? How much will the 19" front wheel stunt it's capacity to roll over large rocks in comparison to a 21" front tire?

[@ErinAlkyre]

Well, definitely handles better than any bike advertised as an ADV eith 17" front tires haha!

[@reinerschmitt414]

Bin mal auf das fahren.gespannt😊..mir gefällt das Bike sehr gut..ob ich dann meine GSA abgebe mal schauen 😮😮

[@victorc6443]

BMW Motorrad used to lead the pack, now they play catch up to other brands. Most of the "new" features have been out there in the market for many years, and design wise, feels like their proposal to cornering lights is overly complicated (X shape) and at the same time the headlight looks poorly integrated design wise with that huge radar in top of it. I see no REAL reason to upgrade from a K50. The only real upgrade was the new F900GS with a suspension that provides a real upgrade to the bike and the cut in weight vs it's direct competitors in the market.

[@P-Dog1873]

Die 12xxer hat mich nicht interessiert wegen Gewicht und Design aber das hat sich hier geändert. Ich denke, ich bleibe bei meiner XChallenge, aber auf die setze ich mich bestimmt mal drauf :)

[@michielvandepol6765]

About the weight, BMW cheated a bit with the new GS. Smaller gas tank, no panniers fitting points standard, smaller pillion seat (you will need a optional seat if you want your passenger to be comfy), etc. So the total weight saving is just not as big as BMW wants you to believe.

[@P-Dog1873]

@@michielvandepol6765 you forgot the main stand. I am aware of all this and for me, as an enduro rider, it is negligible - especially in view of the riding data, weight distribution and technology growth with a narrower silhouette.

[@mardelplatalimousines3423]

Amazing!

[@ralfkalmund7513]

Ich bin gespannt, wie die 1400er GS, also die Adventure mit dem größeren Tank in die schmale Silhouette passt🤔. Also noch warten und sich überraschen lassen……

[@simoesc]

Ja Meine GSA Liebe, waere toll wenn Ihr endlich den LED Scheinwerfer senden wuerdet. Ist schon mehr als zeit! Hab meine GSA1250 2022 Oktober gekauft wurde aber ohne LED Scheinwerfer geliefert, und ein jahr danach nix. Wann werdet ihr endlich vor scham das teil liefern? WANNN???????

[@AF-O6]

Ich fahre seit 40 Jahren BMWs und werde der Erste sein, der die 1300GS kauft, wenn sie in die USA importiert wird.

[@masterpiece_78]

Hope The GSA-R1300 can be out coming soon.. I love Adventure version.. Tuff, bigger, more adventure, more fun when riding, more powerfull variant..

[@AngelSapundzhiev]

Great job, BMW! Beautiful design and adequate price, compared to Ducati, which are completely insane on their pricing recently. The GS is an icon!

[@kingazari5333]

Is it available in the Philippines?

[@LouisStreet]

It's not a true adventure bike. It's an adventure poser bike.

[@tissot0325]

We were told that the 1250 was the best

[@AdhamHossam165]

Because this one didn't exist back then. Common sense...

[@agustinusalvinwicaksono]

It is to many for many years. The R1300 another step in the direction of improvement. Evolution is a natural progression. Standing still does no one any good. Explore, learn and grow. That’s life.

[@wolfganghaerle1667]

You are fully right! No need to have always the newest - it’s just marketing. The best ist what you consider the best. This bike looks like Japanese design!

[@underbear9683]

The Porsche 911 headlamp looks nice.

[@moyolenovo3914]

Did not understand a word 😭

[@bens5186]

Please tell me it’s still a 5 min job to change the air filter? So much focus on the headlight in all the movies so far… show us how long it takes after a hard day riding in the dirt to tap the dust out of the air filter… I want to place an order but do not want to be stuck with a bike I have to remove a ton of body work or the tank like my tiger 1200 rally explorer…

[@realkj6637]

still not so sure with “less complexity concept” 😅😅

[@JoeS97756]

Can someone explain how the new bike reduces complexity?

[@bmwmotorrad]

With a new engine and chassis as well as new components, we were able to reduce the weight by 12 kg. This makes the bike even more agile and manoeuvrable. Especially off-road it will be a completely new experience! 😎

[@wolfganghaerle1667]

Ist vor allem deshalb wichtig weil 90% der GS Fahrer off-road unterwegs sind😂

[@JoeS97756]

@@bmwmotorrad The weight reduction is great, but it still weighs the same as my 2013 GS ;-). Your reply didn't address my question of complexity which your video claims. The GS is legendary, don't let the marketing department ruin the image with unsubstantiated claims.

Very disappointing, I wont be buying a 5th GS when my current bike gets renewed. That headlight looks ridiculous, and slab of cheapo Taiwan plastic above it even worse..... no matter how good it is, but the whole bike has been shrunk and the rugged looks done away with.
