I have a 2021 GSA triple black with 33k miles and it is brilliant. My name is top of the list for a new one at my local dealership. Tonka, Caterpillar, Equinox .. it looks utilitarian and the looks will grow on everyone to the point my current bike will look dated. Everything changes.

I think it is insane that so many people are obsessed with the looks of an adventure bike. It should all be about functionality and I think they nailed it in this perspective. I also like the looks. I have a 2021 R1250 40 year edition GSA. I will keep it and buy the new 1300 GSA. 👍🏻👊🏻

Nice fridge! No, really, the GS was never a beauty queen. But it looked like a serious adventure motorcycle. The new GSA 1300 looks like it's not a part of the motorcycle world but a part of home depot - appliances section .

I think you should get the opinions from people who have owned a few GS bikes and covered decent miles with them! That way, you/we get a more accurate picture of how this bike might fair going forward from experienced GS owners! I remember the comments about the first GSA! Just look what happened after all the negativity after the launch of that first GSA!

Waited for this before upgrading my 1250 GSA - Yuck. I'm not sure about the riding experience either and the gearbox changes?? I have ridden the GS1300 as a taster and get that it's smaller, lighter & sportier than current 1250s. I agree that it grows on you a bit but, still ugly. As far as being utilitarian, I think it's trying waaaay too hard with the hooks & mounts everywhere. All in all I'm disappointed after 5 various GS/GSA over the years. Gone with the Ducati Multistrada V4.

I thinks that the fact that some people get used to it over time, is the most horrifying of all! KTM is making some of the ugliest bikes during the last decade, but seems like BMW is trying to steal their crown. And no... The original Multistrada is not an ugly bike by any means - even after 20 years. Yes, some of its parts look out of place, but I still prefer this over the newer, bulkier, and without personality versions. It was the first big supermotard. Now it's just another big on-off tourer.

@iansmith237Ай бұрын
I know you guys didn't vote on it but the Bimota doesn't belong on any ugliest motorcycle list. And I'm so confused about this "Pan America doesn't look so bad," sentiment I keep hearing. Looks are subjective obviously but it looks like someone decided to put a Street Shark on wheels. It's that perfect combination of ugly and goofy that makes me chuckle with embarrassment anytime I see it. As an American I'm hoping that one day we'll make an adventure bike that isn't wince inducing. The GS - while ugly - is a beauty queen in comparison. The KTM isn't great by any means but I'd be less likely to look at it in shame after a ride than the ugly Duc-ling, porkly Beemer or Harley Street Shark. That Bimota though is otherworldly and in an awesome way. These are just my opinions though, thanks for the laughs.
