BMW R 1300GS Test ride, tarmac and Oxfordshire mud, I didn't want to like this bike, but did I ?.

[@zsguerreiro]

Good review, just would prefer without the music on the background

[@christopherparcell6574]

This is why i wouldnt by EX demo bike! Fantastic vid

[@TallyHoTech]

Best thing about this bike is it sounds like music. Some epic off road riding.

[@adrianmasterson6388]

Very Brave test ride !

[@HabitualFixation]

Appreciate you taking us along and sharing your thoughts. Cheers 😊

[@BAROTIKI]

Superb bike indeed and thank you for this pure raw review Sir! 🫡

[@lifeisarideuk]

Glad you enjoyed it! Come to the UK and ride one will take you on a tour

[@BAROTIKI]

@@lifeisarideuk I accept the invitation! 🫡

[@AmbrosiasRideOuts]

A lovely bike for sure. BUT, for me the 1250 is 'Peak GS'. The 1300 is a new bloodline, GS II if you like, it is indeed different.

[@redman2751]

That’s some heroic music.

[@roverroko306]

Man I loved Your review, finally someone telling it like it is 😊. All the reviews I have seen so far almost like 1250GS owners are just jealous that this new bike is so good. Exactly twice as good as the old bike in every aspect, so they go out of their way to say something negative. The QS is still clunky or it’s noisy, some such shit just to justify the reasons they would still keep the old machine. Don’t get me wrong I love the 1250 also but in my view it was always to heavy and cumbersome to be perfect. Never even considered buying one for this very reason. Even though I knew it was the best al round travelling machine 😊 As soon as I laid my eyes on this new 1300 GS I knew it’s finally a perfect GS, this the evolution now right to the kind of bike it was always going to become 😊. This summer if I plan things right I am buying one.

[@Frankies95]

Nicely done! 😉

[@Motoscotty]

Looking forward to testing this! What mic do you use for your sound recording?

[@ProphetAndLoss]

That music detracts from your commentary. It isn't a Hollywood epic, it's a bike review. 😂

[@lifeisarideuk]

Agreed

[@Bruno-my9uf]

Best bike ever. . ! Just like my 06 mint 1200 gs . !!!!! ❤😂🎉

[@JoeS97756]

thanks for the view and bravo on you for blasting it through the mud for a thorough test. I'm curious, some reviews say the suspension is harsh or stiffer than the 1250. I didn't hear you say that though. I get that the bike feels more rigid due to the new frame, but does that translate to the body over bumps?

[@lifeisarideuk]

Nothing wrong with this suspension the handling is phenomenal so much better and the outgoing bike don't listen to them

[@awakeadventurer9198]

Glad to hear that. Unfortunate about the seat being harder. That can be changed in aftermarket

[@Saint_Maximus_III]

​@@awakeadventurer9198they offer a comfort seat

[@lifeisarideuk]

No not harsh at all the bike is 99 percent better all round apart from the ears

[@getyourmotorrunning...]

I have no idea why you blur the speed out. It won't save you if they are after you because you still show the gear and revs --- not hard to tell what speed you were doing ---Just saying 😘

[@filipepaninho6558]

I was starting to like the white one but that Triple Black is gorgeous!

[@lifeisarideuk]

Blue looks like a motocross bike White to clinical black is the only way

[@lifeisarideuk]

[@Ukmongoose3]

Looks a bit like my 2010 Multistrada, which I have had from new and will be keeping as its tastefully modified, makes 147hp at the wheel and still looks brand new with 60k on the clock (touch wood).

[@forestboy54]

Superb review. At last someone has reviewed it after riding it instead of from an armchair. So many reviews from dickheads who haven't ridden it, which are total bollox. Well done. Oh by the way I love it, saw it last week can't ride it yet recovering from surgery.👍💪

[@nigeldean3315]

I would't want to let him loose on any of our demonstrators

[@markmottershead646]

How tall are you and your mate?!

[@lifeisarideuk]

5.11

[@StruddersMotorrad]

5' 5.5"

[@trevorgarratt4101]

They should stop running the bike down watch your video then ride it fair play to yer mate you can ride a bike

[@lifeisarideuk]

Thats what they are for riding 😂

[@kevinthurston]

I bet they don't let you test ride another one😁

[@lifeisarideuk]

it will be there loss not mime 🎉

[@Saint_Maximus_III]

But bro was using it for what it was built for

[@salvaquest2123]

another review of the GS1300 … not sure hooning down green lanes is the best idea 🤷‍♂️ your more than average rider wouldn’t be going there on a 20k bike ..

[@awakeadventurer9198]

Some of us have done much more. Loved it. His dirt road n mud puddle hits were the best part.

[@carlosprieto4580]

Multistrada is the best

[@Saint_Maximus_III]

In what exactly😂😂

[@dereksmith6126]

The music put me off, so didn't watch it all. Just saying.
