I was really excited about the R1300GS, i went to the showroom to put a down-payment, but when i saw it and sat on it, i was shocked by how tiny it was! So, i put a down-payment on the 2024 R1250GSA Triple black (yes, 2024 R1250 GSA, look it up). I am a big guy, 194cm, so i need something comfortable. Furthermore, when i saw them next to each other, the 1250 is better looking.

That shift is super smooth. The GSA will obviously be impressive when it is released. My hopes for that is a much longer suspension travel as I'm vertically challenged at 5'7" and the auto lower would work in my favour.

This is probably the "closest" review to what I would have made myself. I would also paint that side panel - AND the protection bars. I agree with your comments and it is one of the few times people admit that the "plain" GS is more suited for off road than the Adv. Having 2 cm extra suspension is not enough by itself (and after all, you can get it for plain GS too). GSA is worse for this kind of thing. Love the new machine and even like the new lights and yes INDEED people will learn to like this one (which actually lights A LOT better too). People talking about the Popeye lights being a trademark, probably haven't studied GS history deep enough. This bike is more capable on and off road - and actually RETURNS to GS roots more than anything. They set a new benchmark - again.

In a shocking turn of events, I have always dreamed of owning the big GS and have had an F800gs for the past 8 years as a consolation. I go to the dealer this week to try the new 1300gs Test rode it Thought, man that doesn’t feel or look like a big Gs at all Then realized that the last of the 2024 1250GSA’s are the last of the great emperor’s And I bought my dream bike the 1250GSA Get them while you can folks No joke, they will go down as legends.

The beginning segment is SO close to my experience. I though I wanted to buy back a retro bike I sold before, did about 5 test rides, each time riding home with my own bike telling myself 'why the hell would I swap' and still... I did. Sold my R1250R which was SO good and got a Kawasaki Z900RS. Amazing bike, fantastic looks but I realise it's just not what I need, want or who I am anymore. I miss the BMW and will definitely get a new one as soon as I can afford it. Might even go for a GS for more comfort.

It’s like the Jeep Wrangler models. BMW has to take chances and design bikes to sell and move into what they see as the future. I’m sure it will grow on me but for now I’m happy with my 1250 GS. Everyone has a favorite generation of GS model and that’s what makes it an interesting bike.
@grahamhardy135810 ай бұрын
Absolutely 100%. I would say that the comparison of the 1300 to the 1250 is like comparing the old rugged Landrover Defender with the latest “School run” looking version. Perhaps BMW were targeting a younger demographic but how many young guys do you know that can spend 30k on a bike ?

hi, Alex. Good review, good choice! Same story here. I sold my 1250GS and received my 1300 Trophy 14 days ago. I do share your opinions, althoug I would also like to add the drawback of the engine/ gear box sound. It reminds of sitting in an old trolley bus from the 60s as it whines at 3000rpm 😅. Anyway, the nimble feeling at thight corners at leaning angles as low as 50+° are really something else! This bike has it all, looking forward to offroading soon too. Located in the Zuerioberland, there is a chance you will see a quick blue blurr some day upon any mountain pass road 😂. So long

As most bikes are designed these days, designed for shorter people.... i believe one of the resons the older GS/Adv's were so popular is they are one of the very few that are comfortable, especially on long journeys for taller/longer in the leg people.... born out by most people i know and talk to. I'm ready for a new one but i'll wait and see what the Adv is like, but i'm betting its smaller. Great content. 👍🤘✌👌🤙🖖👏🍻

Funny… I moved from the 1250 GSA (sept 2020) to the 1250 GS in dec. 2021. Never ever will go back to the GSA because - for me - the GS handles way smoother and quicker, more responsive than the GSA did. The downside of only having to fuel up sooner doesn’t matter since I always stop for a break before the tankcapacity is halfway burned. Besides - for what it’s worth - I like the looks of the 1250GS better.

I was going to go down to my dealership and pickup a new 2023 1250 gsa but decided to wait watching your video. For someone who has been on a gs for awhile, your opinion matters especially you buying one. Those who do reviews and dont put skin in the game (purchasing one) really dont have too much credibility..some of the videos Ive been watching on the 1300 basically sounds like salesman. If you make a good product the product will sell itself. I am now a subscriber my friend. Enjoy and be safe. I CANT WAIT FOR THE 1300 coming next year to the states....
