[@bradleyalexander5821]

Hideously Fugly are the 2 words that come to my mind. I recon my 2023 R 1250 GS has strongly increased in value……YEA!!!!

[@thefika]

The 1300 GSA definitely elevated the 1250 GSA to legendary status

[@st.ko.]

@@thefika Give it a year and then we'll see if you're right. I think the new design, this new character, will find its fans.😊

[@netkongen]

Damn that thing stinks. What have they smoked at BMW

[@shasha1873]

They forgot to hire Italian designers.

[@thefika]

Some good stuff 👍

[@steveross2280]

Smokin’ some really good shit laced with acid maybe?

In one year time, this thing will become beauty, and sales will be pure success. I'm sure.

[@thefika]

We will find out soon enough

[@JohnJay1745]

Agreed! People hate change, but they warm to it eventually. Looks aside, this is a refined state-of-the art motorcycle.

Woof

[@RP-di8oq]

You might even be able to go to an independent organic coffee shop with this one!

[@shegocrazy]

If they attached a laser gun turret to the 1300GSA it could pass for a squat dalek.

[@philipparana9225]

The bike looks like 2 giant key fobs were attached to the frotn.

[@thefika]

Nice one

[@charlesbradley2943]

I cannot unsee those BM key fobs ! What have they done ?? I’ll keep my R1250 GSA thank you.

[@motorreizenineuropaendeusa3027]

It looks like LEGO

Yep

God, that thing is hideous….I guess my 2021 1250 GSA just went up in value.

Everyone knows about cold weather shrinkage. You’re fine 😂

I ride all winter in the UK. Some days it's like a button mushroom. You got to get in a nice hot shower to tempt it back into shape 😮 😊😂

[@nativebikers]

I think you can attach 90 l cases to the front left and right?

I guess but the payload is less than the last model

To put your chewing gum 😀

[@dmsridertv]

You’re absolutely spot on sir. Great video 👍

[@thefika]

Cheers Bruv

[@1320613]

It does grow on you after a while. It’s a bike version of the JLR defender. Looks better on the road. As with the R18, it’s got a lot of road presence.

[@thefika]

I like the looks 👍

[@hughmac7423]

I don't like the look of the 1200 or 1250 GS. I do like the look of the 1300 GS. Now I don't like the look of the GSA, I think the tank looks ridiculous, like it has tumours on the sides. I don't think these big adventure bikes are really for off road adventure, maybe they make great all roads touring bikes, but it is just silly to think these are off road bikes.

[@thefika]

Fair enough. Ge with what works

[@algojeff]

Man do I love more than ever my good’old Super Ténéré 2019 ! That much for… that ? 🤟🏽😅

Looks like it's made by Lego FFS. This is the kinda review I like. Liked and subbed, keep it up Shagnasty 👌👌👏👏👏👏

[@thefika]

My man. Have a good one

[@richardyardley5127]

The shape of the tank is all about getting us used to a future EV bikes looks with their batteries. Just like SUV cars got us used to cars with with huge thick chassis, so EV cars would look normal. You heard it here first...

[@thefika]

You may have a point there

Heheh. Gotta love the shaft

[@DmagAdv]

Shouldn’t the top box be at the back???

[@thefika]

Weeee

[@RichardHinkel]

You make some good points. This GSA is a hippo! At the same time the 1300 GS with an Enduro Package and Sport Suspension is still one pound lighter than my 2021 F850 GSA. That's a huge engine upgrade minus one pound coming in at 542 lbs.

[@thefika]

Thanks for sharing that

[@non-slipconsultantsllc6485]

I really do hope it grows on me, but I'm so damn happy with my 2023 R1250 GSA and the fact that I did not wait for this new attempt at a "next era" bike. Sometimes wanting to be mainstream goes very wrong...

[@thefika]

Hopefully you will get some sort of growth when you ride it

[@dougr5379]

The single thing I'm most disappointed in is BMW dropped the asymmetrical headlight. That was a defining aspect of the GS design.

[@thefika]

Yer I liked that

Don’t get the “ I want one” feeling like when I first saw my 1250 adventure…. It just doesn’t look right… like a box on wheels…. Maybe it’s different in person

Thank Bruv

Mmmm

[@user-my7wc5kh3y]

I am now guessing that you did not sell your 1250. The video of you and your wife (?) 'singing' while riding the 1300 was just a musical interlude. Now, the new GSA ... have read some outrageous comments: It looks like Legos; The panniers on the front got crushed when it ran into a Hippo; The front looks like an A/C unit. All wonderfully marvelous, though I did notice BMW took a clue from Triumph (the horror) and put exhaust vents for the radiators. Anyways, ugly as hell. Glad I have my Tiger 1200. Almost forgot ... The lead in with the Turd Wrangler really set the tone for your opinion of the GSA. Absolutely brilliant! Ned, SC, USA

[@thefika]

Comment of the day!

i love your reviews , speaking the truth for sure

Thanks my man

[@skullwull]

Absolutely brilliant.... Tell it like it is and still has no real backlight either... (1250 GS and R100GS PD owner) now I cannot undo 'turd burgler' everytime I see a GSA1300😂😂

[@thefika]

I will mate. Have a good one

[@TwoGoTouring]

You said it months back … this is the rhino, the Big One. Well BMW have got together with CAT, Tonka, and Swiss Army Knife and produced a utilitarian bike which I really like. Just watch it sell 👍

[@thefika]

Yep. Everyone said the last one was a Tonka too. So I guess it’s the same spirit. I too am very interested to see which one sell. They are very expensive though

[@Magicinstalls]

Only because I already own the standard 1300 GS, and it's been a phenomenal motorcycle I have to disagree with you on your assessment of it. However, I totally agree with you on this GSA! What a hideous looking POS! I will never get used to it, just like I will never get used to a cyber truck…

[@thefika]

Thanks for sharing that

[@lennykibbs260]

Well at least all that extra girth on the new GSA will make it easy for you to pick er up when you drop er on your big adventure........ to Starbucks or some other popular spot to stare at your bike.... Can slightly stomach the GSA version, b ut does it really need to be that efen wide... The profile on the green reminds me of a Zero

[@thefika]

Yes. Great for throwing a leg over and exercising the option

[@shegocrazy]

Looks good!?!?! It's the ugliest bike I've seen for a long long time.

[@thefika]

I know hehehe. Better than the 1300 though

[@zenrising3314]

I thought the turd burglar truck was going to pull up and have the new GS roll out the back of it. It should have.

[@thefika]

That would of been epic I might use that

[@nativebikers]

Oh, a dessert storm

[@thefika]

Weeeee

[@simons.2948]

5kgs heavier that’s a big deal but 10kgs lighter for 1300gs isn’t?

That's just fuel and its a smaller bike. Stick to like for like

[@megmeg2949]

Agree with everything you said except that it looks OK.........It looks like a illegitimate offspring from some orgy between a Lego kit and a German WW2 panzer tank. It has to be the ugliest thing on two wheels , even uglier than the Harley Pan America .... actually it makes the PanAm look good .

Too many influencers are deathly scared of offending BMW and never getting invited to a press event again. Thus, they sold their soul, all excited about the love child of a Pan America and a Lego block. Integrity…none. So, where are we on this now? It looks like crap. However, the mounting points for gear are actually smart. Is that enough of a selling point? Nope. I’ll stick with the 1200/1250 GSA. Looks better, does 99% of what the new one does. Also, yes, I do like a clutch lever….
