The ULTIMATE BMW GS Model Comparison - R 1300 GS vs R 1250 GS - most detailed video on the internet!

BMW says the R 1300 GS is all new, but is it relly that different from the 1250 GS that we have come to love over the years? In this video, I'll highlight all the differences between the ULTIMATE BMW GS Models - the newly launched #R1300GS and the outgoing yet equally potent #R1250GS. This video of the #R1300GSvsR1250GS will help you decide which one to settle for if you are in the market and whether you should upgrade to the R 1300 GS if you already have the 1250!

This is the best 1300 gs video after the India launch, goes to show that all you need for a good video is someone who knows what to say and an acceptable camera

[@rohit_paradkar]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏼

[@Phat_Biker]

By far the most detailed video of R1300 on the Internet. Thanks Rohit!

[@rohit_paradkar]

There doesn't appear to be seat height adjustment (ride height - yes, but not seat to foot-pegs height adjust). This, among a couple of other things, is a deal-breaker for me as far as the 1300 goes. I prefer the 1250 at this point.

[@abhishekdasgupta1640]

Comparison should be between the japanese giant "honda Africa Twin" & german beast " BMW R1300GS"

[@vjnsvlogs]

One of the well explained video ❤

[@bsebesty]

That sport's dash menu is there on the 1250 as well, it's just not activated. But using a CANBUS tool like the GS911, you actually can bring it up, if you so desire. More gimmicky for an ADV bike, if you ask me. Really thorough comparison, though. I really liked it, even living like 8000 kms from India 😄

[@rohit_paradkar]

Thank you so much for your kind words! BTW that was news to me. I do know someone with the GS911. Let me check it out.

[@iGuruCrazy]

Good comparo

[@rohit_paradkar]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Bala.the.Baldie]

I would prefer 1250 instead of 1300 it looks big and has that signature style

[@PrayasArya]

Any future plans of 1300 GSA ? like they did with GS 900 and newly launched GSA 900 We need these updates with older design..😅

[@j.bin_genex1927]

need the forged wheel

[@chandanbhakuni2061]

Hindi mai bhi kabhi review karo aap rohit ji.waise aapki english bhi bahut badiya hai.1300 gs ka price on rd.bataiyega

[@mousambanerjee4865]

As a 1250 owner, I hate to not like the 1300. The upgrades just don’t make sense for the variants in India and the 1250 just makes even more sense now. It looks like BMW has a fragile and weak heir in line to the throne replacing the almost perfect 1250. Not to forget the awful headlights though.

[@alimony4golddiggers]

How to get the low height configuration and low seat configuration 800mm... Since you have more information regarding bikes.. By the way nice video😊😊😊

[@rohit_paradkar]

Thank you. So you can opt for a low seat with any of the bikes at an additional cost. Unfortunately the adjustable seat height like the 1250 is gone.

[@BikerBabumoshai]

I can see the rise in sale of tiger 1200 and 1250 (2nd Hand) resale value..

[@rohit_paradkar]

1250, very likely. Not sure how much it will help the Tiger 1200 tho

[@swapnilsaraf5076]

The old asymmetrical headlight looked much better and distinct.

[@abctanmay]

True that. But new looks good in its own way. We have to remember that it's a generational update starting from 1200( {I guess as I started following this bike from then} many cosmetics and an engine update in between) to 1300. And as we have seen with BMW motorrad (S1000RR) at least for now they love symmetry.

[@swapnilsaraf5076]

Yes, i liked the older s1000rr asymmetrical headlight too

[@rohit_paradkar]

They are able to achieve all the functions of the split headlight with a single matrix projector, hence…

[@vnsk]

The Shaft had to be replaced at 60k kms for 1250? Didn't know that, how much does that cost? Was looking to buy a used one

[@elvesbane]

It's a free replacement, AFAIK. Every 60k KM, for the life of the bike. We'll probably have to pay for labor, though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rohit_paradkar]

BMW will replace the shaft for free at 60,000kms if the bike is an agreeable shape. Labour cost included.

[@dharvesh7779]

@@rohit_paradkar “agreeable shape”. Do you mean to say it won’t last that much. Concerning would be buyer here

[@garvpal2009]

BMW nicely screwed the 1300. 1250 needed some improvements but 1300 require lot of improvements. For ADV bike they gave plastic indicator and that too on handle bar. Stand assist really r they expecting that some weak person is going to ride such huge bike if so than imagine if this bike fall whose help he need to raise bike again. So many flaws really it is not a legacy of 1250

[@rohit_paradkar]

Well, the bike drop thing I’m not too worried about. It’s a boxer engine, so the bike USUALLY doesn’t drop flat on the ground, so lifting it up is relatively easier. The main stand assist is good even for a well-built guy, because it needs less effort when you have all your luggage mounted.
