Because of your amazing effort for this video I have subscribed your channel and liked your video. Great job mate 🤟

Awesome, thank you!

Yeah Lofty again. Finally a bike fitting your (my) size. To my knowledge you are the only one in the YT universe who's calling this bike a beauty?

Cracking review Lofty. PS, there is a USB socket in the front cubby hole. Under the rubber mat.

@@andytoddsmith no good hiding it......but it is a very small cubby hole 😉

[@kurushunwalla]

Thanks for the video Lofty. New sub, liked your style. Smaller bloke here only 6 feet and Multi V4s owner. Have to check out the GSA since we have to dance with all the ladies out there 😅 Like the idea of the shaft drive and not having to do chain cleaning and maintenance. GS 1300 felt like a 750cc bike, didn’t like it at all. Cheers

[@theloftybiker3090]

@@kurushunwalla I too found the GS a tad small...the GSA although very expensive is a fabulous bike. Its also a lot more economical than the V4s 😉

[@kurushunwalla]

@@theloftybiker3090Economical surely. I am wondering from the power perspective. The V4s is a very engaging, comfortable and entertaining bike to ride fast. Have to see how the GSA is in these aspects. Comfortable I have no doubt, will it be engaging and entertaining from the power point of view is what I have to check. Is it even close. Cheers

Can you get the ASA version or do we need a little bit more?

[@vacoas04]

Any long time biker's whining and griping about the ASA just wind your necks in and go and test it with head cleared of preconceived ideas! The ASA is amazing in auto or manual mode! Just sublime be it slow medium or full on scratching at speed! The tank cuubyhole takes most phones and has a charging port! Brakes are Brembo(they are marked Brembo on the inside). Unless dealerships have different info to the Motorrad Configurator you can only get 0ption 719 Karakorum package not as add ons at this time. There are plenty of bikes that cost 30k+ that are ridden by average not wealthy people! Some will always buy Brand Accesories! Within the next few months you can be sure that plenty of bike accessory manufacturer's will be offering luggage and protection gear for the new GSA at a fraction of the BMW price.

Overpriced and over-specced for what 99% of UK riders actually need.

Can't really disagree with you, but 99% is wrong...Tthis will be a big seller the GSA always is........ the GS range is the best big bike seller world wide....Bikes in this upto £30k are obscene I do agree....thanks for watching

[@mac22011964]

I think the single biggest issue for this type of bike is price. “Averagely” spec with full luggage is £23k plus. No doubt a cracking machine but is simply too much.
