It’s so refreshing to hear an opinion from someone with an independent mind and not a journalist frightened of not getting invited to the next corporate p*** up if they mention anything negative. With some Touratech scaffolding bolted on, the bike starts to look more like a BMW. Thank you from London.

That situation of the bike not liking low revs is crucial! Well done in bringing it up

@xseal053 4 ай бұрын

part of the issue is that they raised the gearing in 5th and 6th gear, for better highway cruising and lower revs. No surprise it no longer lugs as well in those now higher gears.

Nice review thanks a lot. Talking about spray, I notice that the rear mud guard is missing on your bike, so it must have quite a lot of influence on the overall result here.

With your critisism of the suspension off road, did your test bike have the sports suspension option or the adjustable hight system? The sports suspension is the option for hard off road.

Stock suspension he said

Thank you, I haven't brought the R1300GS, so thankfully I'm not classified as a GS rider. Instead, I'm a HD rider with a 2022 Pan Am Special, army green version and I love it. I fitted a V&H muffler and this increased the bottom end power significantly, making it more like a V twin should be, and it sounds great. My second HD, as I have a 1988 Lowrider as well, with a sidecar.

I just updated my GS1250 with a 1300... I totally regret that. This is more a XR than a GS. The heat from the fan goes directly to you leg making the ride a hell. Suspension is hard as hell, no matter if you adjust it. An indeed, this bikes does not works on low revs.

Have you had normal version or adv? I ve Just bought 1250gs adv as last version (second time actually), as 1300 felt to small for me

Never read some much rubbish! Road mode suspension is as plush as ever but the suspension as a whole is better controlled.

Its not that the bike doesn't like low rews but because it has longer gear ratio and it is a step forward especially on a motorway! The shiftcam switch is now also higher in rews range so when You cruise You no longer have the problem switching from one cam to another.

Thank you for the comment about the low revving nature of the motorcycle. That is a bad characteristic in my opinion also. I have not heard other reviewers discuss it in the detail that you have. I really appreciate it. I have not had a chance to ride the motorcycle yet but I will soon. I will definitely look out for that.

@clb_iv6421 5 ай бұрын

If you can get a chance to ride a R1300GS with the sport suspension, I think you would like it more. It has 20mm more travel and a stronger spring. For the battery I have been running heated gear and auxiliary lights at the same time. No battery issues at all.

Why are motorcycles been called " SHE " ?

@1000pscom 5 ай бұрын

That comes from our german speaking mentality, where a motorcycle is always female. Also as we tend to love our machines as much as our significant other, some even more :), it seems appropriate. Hope it doesn't cause too much confusion. Cheers ✌️

@marco2982 5 ай бұрын

It is a characteristic of the german language where an article like „the“ often times is also a male/ female pronoun like „he/she“. In english it is „the sun“ or „the sky“. In german it is „die(she) sonne(sun)“ or „der(he) himmel (sky)“. The same goes for the motorcycle as a machine. „The machine“ in english and „die(she) maschine(machine)“ in german. So a machine is always female in the german language and therefore a she. My english isn‘t good enough to explain you every detail but i think you get the point 🤗

In English cars and bikes are also reffered as "she"
