Most durable,bulletproof and easiest bike to maintain is BMW GS/GSA. Mine has only 130.000km on ! P.S BMW has best warranty and service in industry, i just got recall on driveshaft and swingarm,everything is free and BMW is paying for pick-up and drop off after recall repairs. What other brand has that level of service??? NONE!!!

[@UncleWally3]

At seventy years old my fully farkled AT, especially with an upgraded seat, suspension and other ergonomic and functional adjustments ($!) suits me fine. Just put 5000 kilometers on it this month . . . plenty comfortable. I owned the BMW, put 160 000 kilometers on that beast, but I couldn’t stand the local dealership and ridiculous expenses for maintenance and parts. Both bikes have pros and cons, both are amazing.

[@L5man]

What is an AT?

[@Syn741]

@@L5man Africa Twin

[@UncleWally3]

@@L5man Africa Twin. Given my abhorrence for acronyms I’m embarrassed I used AT!

[@mechcavandy986]

The dealers pissed me off too. I’m also 70. The GSAs got too heavy for me, so I traded my last one for a Husqvarna Norden 901. I love it! Of course, I considered and test rode a AT.

[@rodneybadger5292]

I'm also 70 years old. I'm in Alaska half the year and Utah the other half. Have BMW 1200GS in Utah. KTM 890A in Alaska. What do I like best? It's a toss up. Pros and cons of both

[@CageSimons]

Bro you killed it with all of the camera angle and integrated drone footage. You ride that thing like a boss already, can’t wait to see how you treat it in coming year. #BigGirlsFly Solid work, great video Kyle 🇺🇸👌🏽

[@davereinhart9933]

Love the GSA. I bought a barely used one as well in Boise and cannot get enough of it!

You can't go wrong with a GS. Thanks for sharing.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

You bet. Thanks for watching

[@allanschuster3520]

Lots of practical info, you are a great ambassador for the sport and your sponsors. Thanks, Allan

[@backcountryadvmoto]

I appreciate that!

[@paulvanhout9695]

A lot of thought and effort into this video and the key advantages and disadvantages of the GSA. I have owned two GSes, both pre water boxers and put around 60K miles on each. Very DIY friendly for maintenance and quite capable. With my size, age and skill I have moved to smaller adventure bikes for more off-road confidence but at the cost of on-road comfort. Thanks for sharing.

[@Doublecheesemoto]

Dream build…… great riding too…. Looking forward to the content.

[@owenlushadv]

I love my GS! They’re made for exactly this, big trips, gravel roads, two track. That’s my type of riding and why I love the big bikes!

[@brownies-midlifeadventure5333]

Awesome review on the R1250 GSA... great setup, I too love the 35L Backcountry saddle bags 🤠👍

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Right on

[@patrickcooper9641]

Great bike. Can't wait to see what you say when you install the Tractive suspension on the rear. After my original suspension blew up (60,000 miles fully loaded) I went with Tractive front and back and I am so pleased with the way the bike handles now. It feels like being on a sailboat on a smooth/flat sea. Fantastic review.

[@castle228]

I love my '21 GSA. You've got some great add-ons! That rear seat delete from SW Motech is on my radar. I hardly ever have a passenger and typically carry a small cooler on my trips. That's something I'm definitely going to look into. Cheers!

[@2WheelPursuit]

It is wild to see what you can do with such a heavy and big bike. You ride this thing like it is a dirt bike! Really impressive, and a testament to not only your riding ability, but the quality of the bike!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@jaymartinrealtor7736]

I used to ride a BMW K100 sport touring. Absolutely loved it. Recently went with the 2017 AT because of the dealer and service network.

[@danipokornik9463]

Love my GS. It is more capable than I am and has carried me through BDRs, Smokey 500, and lots of long highway miles throughout US and Canada. Enduro Pro mode is fun and the power is great for lofting a wheel over ruts and small obstacles. I would like to get something smaller to ride the really rough stuff but the GS will stay in the stable regardless of what else I buy.

[@silveriojohan]

Congratulations, torque in this bike keeps you in love with it 24/7, I own the 2023 Honda Africa Twin Adventure ES manual and I can't stop thinking about the GS after testing it🙄🙄🙄

[@Quagmire88]

I have a 2023 R1250GSA. My first GSA, and the wife and I are in love with it. I put a set of Mitas e-07+ and we can do all the gravel roads and 2 tracks. We have to go a little slower and more careful 2up but it works really well.

[@flyinguy123]

Great call on the Mitas tires.....Come MEET US at the Touratech Rally. Kevin

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Great looking GS. Loved seeing it in the air. 👍 I put a Puig Sport Touring screen on my 890 Adventure for those long road trips. I got it in a dark tint so I can duck behind it at night when idiots have their brights on.

[@abyields7831]

Wow, same reason why I got my GS… thanks for sharing this vid!

[@boomcity4942]

This is one of the best GSA 1250 videos. You skillfully demonstrate the way this bike is designed to be ridden. I road my GSA 1250 12,000 miles last year across the USA. Some off-road, some gravel and some camping, mostly Highway and hotels. I confess I haven’t boogied down a dirt road at that clip on my BMW. I am braver doing that type of riding on my KTM 500 XC-W. You have inspired me to go to the next level on my GSA. Thank you.

[@Resort_Fans]

Absolutely love the kalamata olive color of this bike. Best looking GSA BMW has ever done!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Couldn't agree more!

[@BacktrackADV]

Great review 👍 I’ve been a GS fan since 2018. All your opinions match my experience. Happy to see you made the switch. Look’n’ forward to watching more vids. I may consider your tire selection👍👍

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks! 👍

[@lifesjourneyat50]

Welcome - I own a GSA and have ridden an AT to WYBDR....no comparison...the GSA hands down...Suspension, Comfort and once you get the Tractiv on there for both ends...just wait...I do wish they had an option for a 21' front...I did like that on the AT....but now you know why they are the king

And what you said I think is really true... I have done a 5000km trip with my Honda through Romania, Bulgaria, Greece etc and after 10 hours on the seat I was really hurt by the Honda.... Long day touring it is just not made for.... Thanks Bro.

Great Video demonstrating the GS capabilities. I really like all the Add Ons you put on the Bike. I’m going to adapt a few of them to my GS. I Ride a 2006 R1200GS and Love it. I do all my own Maintenance and Repairs, so I don’t have that Costs of taking it to the Shop for anything. I’m 62 and have 4 Fusions in my Neck, and 2 in my lower Back. The GS is the only Bike I can Ride, and not Hurt. I really think the GSs are the best Bikes on the Market. I have Ridden everything just about in my 50 Yrs of Riding. Thanks for the Video.👍👍❤️

[@dpinedoblog]

Thanks for sharing about your body. I have major issues in my neck and back as well. I’ve had two GSAs. Currently have a KTM and missing the comfort of my last GSA. Although my previous RT was even more comfortable.

[@aaronrichmond4270]

Absolutely love my GSA. It’s great for adventure touring and is more capable than you would think in the rough technical stuff. You just have to remember it’s a heavy bike. On the long days in the saddle it’s amazingly comfortable and doesn’t wear you out like other bikes.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Couldn't agree more!

[@soilsmanadv6673]

I bought a used 2007 GSA 1200, It is only 535 lbs with a half tank of gas. It is a mile crusher and I don't need rain gear until it is pouring. It pairs with my dualsport 2-stroke perfectly. I appreciate your work on this post!

[@svenhodaka9145]

I bought a used 2013 1200GS. I understand now why everything else is compared to these. I love the bike for exactly this kind of riding and motocamping.

I went from a GSA to a 790R. I then took an ADV Rider class with Bill Dragoo and completely changed my mindset. I bought the first GS Trophy in Oklahoma and never looked back. They are just simply amazing motorcycles.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Absolutely agree. I feel like they can do just about anything with the right rider

Pretty darned awesome! The Mosko Moto bags in that green color look sweet against the bike graphics. Like they were color coordinated to the bike. Great practical upgrades. 👍 Side note; Nice to see you change up bikes. Keeps things fresh, and gives a lot more opportunity for product/perspective videos in the future.

This video,and a test ride at Touratech Rally ,helped me make the decision to trade my 690 in on a brand new GSA..I’m excited but nervous to learn how to ride it properly off-road. So much to learn. So little time.

[@davidbones8947]

Great vid two years ago i found out how good a bmw GS is i admit i used to bash them as being to big and heavy for off road ive been riding dual sports i traded my 07 heritage softail straight trade for 2006 GS with some great upgrades after riding and i do run two track and fs roads i love the beast ended up selling the honda Bmw has built a machine that can do about any task they are mules pack em up and go! God bless

I Traded my Harley FXDWG straight up for my 2006 R1200GS and have never looked back. I have yet to feel any Engine Heat when I’m Riding. My Harley would just about Cook my Legs. I think BMW made the best Bike on the Road. I Love my 2006 GS. Just get on and go.👍👍❤️

[@fish0n2]

You have some really cool add-ons to a already very capable bike, as far as the center stand you might try using a spring puller on it and see if you can give the spring a twist or two, that might help it stay up on the bumpy stuff

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a try

[@riendetout8812]

Yeah, my AT became a pain in the butt after 30 minutes. I switched to a DesertX and love it. And if it makes you feel better about the exhaust note, the AT doesn't have a V-Twin either :D

[@sthr2110]

I should hope it's better than the AT, given how much more expensive it is. $5k-$6k. It had better be. As for myself, I have a '22 ATAS DCT and considered the R1250GSA. The AT was/is much more fun to ride and is ultimately more capable off road, stock vs stock. The GS feels less top heavy but that's the only superior aspect I noticed.

[@michaelskinner896]

Nice video and content and man that scenery! I have a 2018 AT base, but am looking at a GSA. I test rode one a couple of months ago and it was like riding on a magic carpet, haha. Anyway, the only thing I noticed was the QS is a little rough at lower speeds.

Damn great video! I have a 1250 gas and I love it but thinking of getting rid of it to get something smaller like a Norden 901 expedition. I also have a2021 690 enduro r ktm which might be my first bike to sell instead of the gsa.

[@elvinowe]

i also had a deposit on an africa twin but it never arrived. bought a new 23 gsa and no regrets, it's amazing.

[@thecorporategypsy]

Here is the challenge on both the GS and the GSA. You have to learn how to ride it as its different from the mid capacity bikes. Once you do, you can travel the world!! Great film!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Challenge accepted 😁 thanks for watching

[@thecorporategypsy]

@@backcountryadvmoto that was meant rhetorically ie not related to your adjustment, as you have already shown your chops. It was meant for us “muggles” out here. Great film!

[@rcvg69420]

I just picked up a pretty accessorized R1250 GS non-adventure. It's got all the Touratech doo-dads already bolted to it. I plan to use for 90% road touring. Very similar story to yours. I was looking at geting an Africa Twin Adventure Sports and they are just unobtainium and have been for a while. Really sours the experience. Unless you want to pick up a DCT from someone that unfortunately bought one and is uninspired by the DCT and is now selling it. Then I saw a GS come up on FB marketplace and just executed. EPIC motorcycle. The AT has it's merits, but I'll be damned if GSes aren't better in many many ways, not much more money, and WAAAY more obtainable. R1250 GSes are available all over the place if you are willing to spend the money. And if you don't quite have the money R1200's are very available as well. Beautiful motorcycle! I don't think there is one with more area under the curve of capabilities as the GS and on top of this the GS is probably the most luxurious and comfortable for street touring among all the ADV bikes.

[@MRGS48]

I fricking knew it that’s was the new road they’re making to Starbucks… I hope it’s close to me so I can go with my 23 GSA Trophy🤣🤣🤣 good stuff brother. Greetings from balmy Arizona🌵🌵🌵

[@mechcavandy986]

They’re real nice and all. I rode R1100 and R1200 GSAs for many years. But I traded my last one on a Husqvarna Norden 901 over a year ago, and I’m glad I did. It’s about 150 lbs lighter, and the center of gravity is low, because the fuel tank is low down by the engine. And it has a 21” front wheel. It’s got 105 hp and 100 lbs torque. I don’t need 150 hp off-road. I’ve got the Explorer mode and all the extras the Expedition model has, except the heated seat and suspension upgrade. And I don’t need them. I’ll never go back to the GSA. I do, however, own a BMW F 650 GS Dakar. I love BMWs!

[@mechcavandy986]

Your bike is as nice as they get! Mosko Moto can’t be beat! ♥️

[@northof49adv]

Also a good opportunity to work with multiple cameras and camera types , looks good.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks. Always fun shooting these videos

[@rallye81]

Excellently edited video. I really like your variation of camera angles. The overview/summary of your mods at the end of the video was unexpected by really appreciated. I really like the color coordinated Mosko bags to the bike. When they released that color, I was instantaneously envious. I have a 2018 R1200GS A Rally and love it! I’ve wanted a GSA since 2010 and don’t know why I waited 12 years before I bought one. It is absolutely a phenomenal bike! I am interested in eventually getting a Skydio 2 drone. Where did you find that remote mount? It would be a pleasure to run into you someday. Keep flying with the rubber side down!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

The Skydio 2 mount was off of Etsy of all places

[@terrarecon]

If it's better, it's because you built what you needed. That's how I do it too. But then, I would be building up the Africa Twin for my platform.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Everyone has their own dream bike. This is just mine. I love my Africa twin, but this has been a good replacement for me.

[@marcoluoma3770]

Thanks for another good review. In 2019 I went shopping for an Africa Twin and came home with a 1200 GS. I like everything about it other than the dealer maintenance experience. For example the 30k service is just an oil change, for which any BMW dealer wants $400. (I did it myself for $60 in parts.) Thanks again.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yeah, I refuse to take motorcycles to the dealership. I can do just about anything myself unless it involves a specific software that’s not available to me as a DIY person

[@AlexKovshovik]

Man that Skydio drone is awesome, great footage! So sad they shut down their consumer drone business :( Maybe that's because I didn't buy it, but I wanted to!

[@dverdick]

Nice review and I hope you have luck with it. I have rented a couple of GSAs for several long trips. I really like them. I am curious if you considered the Triumph Tiger 1200 with the 21" front wheel?

[@larrypeplinski593]

I know I’d like to have one.

Nice video! Can I ask what drone you’re using? It seems to do a great job avoiding those trees.

[@vytec1234]

Great video and list of all the accessories. What drone are you using? Is that a DJI Mini? It really does great at avoiding the trees. Crazy good.

[@sz3820]

I really like this channel, and boy, the aireal footage is so awesome!!! Thank you! Would you mind sharing the exact location of those trails? Also, I'll highly appreciate if you do dedicated video of what drone you use and video shooting techniques. Thanks again!

[@rallye81]

It looks like he’s using the Skydio 2 or 2+ drone. It’s a phenomenal drone.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

It is the Skydio 2. I have a video on it in my catalog. The trail is just off of Fourth of July Pass near the military Road. If you take the main gravel road, you can’t miss it on the left.

[@BuffaloWolf]

"Awesome."

[@donmorris4506]

Better than the Africa twin unless you have one leg like me and need the automatic transmission because you don’t have a left foot. I lost my left in a freak accident on a 2016 bmw r12200rt. I really miss that bike. It was totaled along with my left leg. Pretty much stick to riding my spyder now. I’ve gone back and forth thinking about an Africa twin since I don’t need a foot to change gears.

[@johannzitz1357]

Hello! It's a pleasure to watch you handle the gsa, congratulations also for the nice comment while driving, I own a gs 1250 and have a question about the panel instead of the rear seat that you mention SW MOTECH.

I’m going to be up in your neck of the woods, more or less, this summer starting around July. Kind of a weird question to just ask someone on a social media platform but I am trying to find some folks that want to ride some extended trips this summer. I have about 4-6 weeks planned out to go on multiple BDRs and potentially some quick trips dispersed in that time. I’ll be hanging out north of polebridge beginning of July for a couple weeks helping out an amazing lady who was kind enough to invite me to stay on her land, so I’m going back up to work on her house since she cannot find any carpenters. After that, I’ll be dropping my GSD off down in SW MT at a training/boarding kennel and I’m free for the next month! Let me know if you would like to go for a couple day ride and if we get along, I’d love to go for some longer trips if you’re open for it. I love bourbon, cigars, guns, am a professional bullshitter, love cinematography, and freedom so I’d imagine we’d get along well 😂

I've had both, maybe it's a preferred thing.. but I would never trade my twin for another one of those.
