The 2023 BMW R1300 GS Is WAY BETTER Than I Thought

[@laceyunderall68]

The smooth grunty BMW boxer engine has been around for 100 years now and just gets better and better. it's low and wide design not only looks beautiful but makes for a great handling bike. If you could only have one bike then this one does it all

[@Kenicavus]

Its nice but out of my budget, sadly. I am looking forward to the new Tiger Sport 800

[@ivannestorovic3472]

Only someone who hasn't driven it or can't afford it can talk bad about the GS. It is pure nonsense that these motorcycles break down often, on the contrary, they are among the most reliable motorcycles in the world. I'm driving the fourth GS in a row and never a problem!

[@laceyunderall68]

Yep exactly! I've done 200000klms on 4 GSA's over the years and never broken down once. Dealer servicing is important more than ever though.

[@thomasmeyer8336]

Aktual thats not true . I have nomissues with my 1250 but the 1300 is aktual not so,reliable.

[@familiewessel-q7x]

Yes it is a beautiful bike. Only big problem is the 1300 boxer motor. It has problems with start relays and other thngs. Go see 1000PS!

[@relbik66]

Should be easy to fix. Never want to be the first year buyer anyway.

[@adinovak2352]

As a 1300gs owner who spent 1 season on it - not a single issue. This bike is awesome.

[@ChuckMahon]

The design and aesthetic are compelling! Would love to upgrade from my R1200GS

[@Matsridesoffroad]

I took delivery of my 1300GS Adventure a couple of months ago. That is my 6th BMW GSA, I have never had one issue with my bikes, besides smashing a aluminum pannier on a tree stump on a single track trail, but that’s on me.

[@wiadroman]

I love that split exhaust. Oh, and the single swing arm.

[@michaelball5247]

I’ve got one in triple black with black Givi aluminium side case and the BMW top case, love it, especially the lowering suspension.

[@808Affliction]

I want one!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@olliechristopher467]

Yes the BMW is the gold standard of travel bikes. I purchased a new 2017 Yamaha Super Tenere. It has not once seen the dealer. Much as I love the BMW GS I just can't trust it on a cross country trip when it gets out of warranty. Also too many electronics and features that take your focus off the act of riding.

[@vvevvevvvv]

Super Tenere is a hidden gem. Simple, reliable, build like a tank. You can actually work on it and fix something. This is what needed for the real adventures. Not the variable valve timing, quickshifter or SOS button.

[@12masterr]

Is ten times easier to do a valva adjustment on the gs than on the super tenere.​@vvevvevvvv

[@rosstinelli]

If you want a Gs type engine, get the Moto guzzi Stelvio. Sure, you could even buy two of them

[@svenrobin4088]

I like the Adventure much more than the "normal" R1300GS, because that looks much more powerful. The bigger tank and some other features inspire me more than the normal one, but this is online my personal taste.

[@FilipeFaria080]

Amazing my friend!!! Thanks for reviewing it! I'm a big fan of your channel! Would be amazing seeing you and "The Maestro" having a conversation and maybe riding together! Have a great weekend!

[@rollyman3754]

They are sweet machines. My dealer has had them in stock along with the LEGO looking GSA. But I will still ride my 2020 GSA for a long long time. Let the bugs get worked out, maybe in 2027 I will consider the step up.

[@Richard.Cabeza]

Good bikes, I'd buy one. Need to test ride one and see about the peg/seat height if feel good.

[@OARotifa]

I think it will work for u with ur riding skills… u will be able to get a lot of bends and turns on this.

[@tomsreviews238]

These adventure bikes are huge

[@DKvarnSWE]

I must say that I didn't like the 1300 from videos or images but I liked it a lot when I saw it irl

[@centralcoastcruiser2084]

The GS is such a great looking bike. The only short coming to me would be the smaller gas tank which will probably allow up to 200 miles but not much beyond that. The GSA on the other hand is ugly. It probably will be a great on road ADV bike but it isn't good looking.Thanks for the heads up.

[@JWoodcock]

The lot at BMW really should cut to the chase and release an R2000GS. We know it's coming.

[@Tarothealerdeepshikha]

❤❤ one of the best adventure motorcycles 🏍️ out there 👌🏽

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Nice bikes but bloody expensive.

[@thewoodster8607]

All the top end ADV bikes are.

[@STii13]

I test rode the rally version, it was really a good ride

[@terrykelly8982]

You like it but your not getting one? What are you riding now?

[@rudedog3529]

Wouldn't that be a 2024 R 1300GS ? I got mine ( green 719 ) last April. Ordered in November 2023.

[@AkansasRIDER]

It’s a 24. No such thing as a 23 1300

[@Kevin-px7so]

Compared to my Ducati MTS, I tested this and wanted to switch back to BMW as a previous GS owner. Aside from the noticeable torque (and engine noise), the Ducati is much more exciting and handles better IMO. However, looking forward to riding the GSA and the ASA version. Does anyone else think this 1300 is still falling short of the Ducati?

[@THE-APEX]

I’ve had three GSs, two 1100s and an 1150, and now I’m on an MTS 1260s. I agree, the MTS offers more excitement with the difference in HP, however, and this is a big however, on my GSs, when the road ends, the fun begins. The MTS isn’t nearly off road ready, so I avoid it. The GS, with the shaft drive and telelever can take a ton of abuse off road routinely, without hesitation. I struggle with the realization that I currently own 75% of what I really want. MTS is GREAT on the road and is fine for fire roads, but it stops there. My two cents.

[@knifetoucher]

I dont get why BMW keep making boxer engines, there's a reason why no other maker makes those anymore

[@thewoodster8607]

They make them because they are great engines and the bikes they go in sell like hot cakes!!

[@knifetoucher]

@@thewoodster8607 Dont they require more frequent maintenance work than the other 2 cylinder engines

[@grb-i2s]

Because a lot of buyers are buying them. If you've never ridden a boxer twin, then you might not understand why. As for their uniqueness, Moto Guzzi makes a similar transverse twin, and Honda has made them in the past.

[@robertmills794]

I'd like to have one,. but can't justify the expense of replacing my R1200GS LC.

[@Nervedraz]

Do BMW motorcycles have maintenance/breakdown issues similar to the BMW automobiles?

[@aao331]

No, it's the inverse, the are quite reliable. It's like they are two different companies.

[@sylvainbougie7269]

This is exactly the bike I need but don’t want to buy

[@GodSon-kg2ju]

Sir we know in a few weeks your going to buy that bike ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@David7pm]

thank you

Re-upload?

[@Waldo1122]

Yes.

[@BP-id4cq]

BMW motorcycles are one of the best in the market (whether we like it or not). They come with everything one may want (not necessarily need) for long touring rides. Yes, they’re expensive, but that’s why not everyone can afford them. I would suggest you test ride one to appreciate them. I’m not a BMW fanboy but I get them. I’m happy with my Africa Twin, but that’s a different story. Thanks Greg for doing all of these bike reviews, maybe next time you’ll do a smaller bike like a Himalayan 450, or CRF300. Thanks for sharing.

[@yushpeaceandlove]

I hope to say the same soon. Can't stop looking at 24 AT AS ES DCT

[@desertedcake]

If BMW offered leasing, these would sell more.

[@relbik66]

They offer financing.

[@solidsnake2665]

Solid sport tourer no doubt. If you live for off-road there are so many better options these days. A GS might one day be my “retired old guy” bike because it is a good ride.

[@thomasmeyer8336]

In the test of 1000ps chanel the Maschine needet 3 Motors to reach 14000 km 🙃- nit reliable I think .

[@yushpeaceandlove]

The boxer twin really has to be the ugliest engine design on any bike.

[@wiadroman]

BMW is stubborn with these boxer engines just as HD with the air cooled V-twins.

[@grb-i2s]

A lot of riders must love ugly.

[@DiZZoLabs]

I’d buy it. Ride it and dump it after warranty is up. IRL I’m too cheap to buy it. 😂

[@relbik66]

Yah we kind of figured that 😂

[@tjey379]

Great bike just not for broke people like me.

[@RacerXdBrother]

Like to see a direct comparison with the Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, I have a feeling the Triumph is pound for pound superior off road, in comfort and better handling, whereas the BMW has better tech.

[@rudedog3529]

I have both, and a " few " others. I prefer the BMW R 1300GS, slightly. It is lower and smoother. Have had it up to 148 Mph , bone stock @ 2600' Alt.

[@ismaelmonsi7333]

The triumph tiger 1200 lot better

No matter how good they are technically, they have become an overly complicated fashion statement for wanna-be adventurers with boring white collar lives.

Atrocious design. BMW came up with many design duds lately, but this takes the cake.
