- We took the BMW R1250GS on a different sort of review.
We reviewed the entire bike, not just the changes from the R1200GS. We were really hoping that it would live up to it's legend of being the jack of all trades motorcyle, the universal soldier of bikes. Let us know if you share our opinion.

What are your thoughts on the new R1250GS?
Awesome bike, big improvement vs 1200 LC ... I’m currently riding an XR but I’m pretty sure that, one day, I’ll switch to a GS.
No, Bmw S1000XR...truly a beast
@@emilvva i agree
mld ....Bmw S1000XR is a genuine sport adventure motorcycle , I put 49000km in 3 seasons. I agree that is different from a GS but is definitely is not a street bike.
BMW got scared with KTM 1290 :)
You must really hate your hands...
Or forgot your gloves at home 🙈
I'm a recent subscriber. I enjoy your humor when you're in studio. But hey, this was a first class serious review of the new GS. Great job. Your country is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your experience.
This bike once again resets the big bore Adventure bike benchmark. BMW attention to detail in “fit & finish” is impeccable. A genuine beauty. Love it!
Congratulation for your video and review. It's not so easy to find a full review like this including also a night ride. I tested the exact same bike a few days ago and I was a little "worried" as I own a BMW 800 and never ride before a 1200. First thing that impressed me was how easy is to handle such a big bike even in traffic. Then I was surprised by the way the power is delivered. Is smooth you Always feel in control. And last were the brakes! I mean they are really outstanding.
Going to save money for this bike, I simply love it.
PS The place were you have been offroad are simply beautyful!! Thanks for sharing.
Pleasure to read your comment!
Thanks for your review!! By far the best one so far about the 1250 ! I’m waiting for the adventure version to get it! Thanks again and subscribed 👍👍 Regards Dennis
Thanks a lot man!
Well done,a complete review..the background music Was a bit of a headache for me...and a question...the rubbers in the mirror are included in the basic equipment ?😂
:) those are instrumental in keeping the gopro more stable when it's mounted in weird places :D
Thanks for the nice words!
@@LongWayHome And I thought it is for your hair, you know, when you are looking for that pony tail, silly me 😜
Great review and well explained for those who are not interested in hardcore off roading. Can’t wait for the GSA
Some pictures have been leaked. The HP version looks AMAZING!
One of the best review of this model . thanks
Higher tire inflation pressures will also make the bike much more agile and fun to ride. I now run 40f and 42r in my RT and it’s become a different bike.
GREAT video - brilliant editing, and incredible scenery. Would love to ride there. And so funny how many non-contributing zeros can only comment that your not wearing gloves - Get a life people.
Nice review but you should wear gloves. Lead by example.
HA HA, you would hate to see me ride, Sandals & Shorts with a Polo, Smoking my cigar w/o a helmet in the Colorado Rockies.
@@phattdaddy2974 dress for the slide not the ride.
if you go off even if you dont hit anything there would only be bone left.
@@Hampus3313 Don't think that I haven't been off the bike and on the asphalt before, I have the scares and lack of bone to prove it!
Thats what I thought, but then he is the one paying the price of not being able to wipe his butt after losing a part of his hands.
min 10;42 - that's our farm!! Great review of an interesting bike. Quality work!
Super review-ul si editarea, felicitari.
Chiar ma bucur si ca nu ai purtat manusi, imi place sa vad cum se agita toti purtatorii de grija.
Beautifully shot and entertaining review. Enjoyed the varied scenery and roads. Well done!
Great review , I rode the same bike yesterday and agree with all your comments ... It is a plush ride. Beautiful country you have.
I enjoyed your review, especially since the fall scenery reminded me of my old stomping grounds, just North of the mountains, in Transylvania! The 1250 GS has not made it into dealerships here across the pond (in Seattle) yet, but I have already put down a deposit on one (I'm first on the waiting list, yeeey!). in the meantime still riding my 2013, which is my 6th GS! At almost 100.000 km it still runs better than the day I bought it. Anxiously waiting for the replacement though...
It's gonna be a huge difference compared to the 2013. Even if it doesn't look a whole lot different.
been watching some of the reviews here on RUclips, honestly this is one of the best i found,the scenery is fantastic too like this bike,good job man,thank you for sharing your experience.
No gloves while riding? Big safety issue.
Plan to get the Adventure version. Great review and camera work. Beautiful country.
Enjoyed the review and to see it put through the bikes paces, learned a few things as well on its operation. Time to trade in my 2009 gs.
Nice video and review. But the music was annoying. It’s ok to have just voice and bike sounds without music. Cheers!
Music is in the ear of the beholder. I respect your opinion, but it didn't bother me. Ride safe!
The completely leaf covered sections of road were pretty, but the pucker factor had to be 100%!
Rode the 750 GS and that was quite nice but the 1250 seems very nice. Will have to ride one. Thanks for the video and beautiful scenery.
Gorgeous Romania !!!! Thanks for showing us.
I ride harleys and would love to ride the GS. Respect from a fellow vaper, rocking a blackberry jam monster on a 0.5 ohm supertank mini. Ride safe brother!
This was a very helpful review, and the scenery was beautiful. The only question which remains in my mind is whether the rear seat is comfortable and easy to access for a passenger ( I like to tour with my wife along). I'll bring along She Who Must Be Well Taken Care Of when it's time to take a test ride.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant! If the rider seat is comfortable, the pillion must be as well. I think if you have the panniers attached as well, it will give "She Who Must Be Well Taken Care Of" a lot of confidence and somewhere to rest her arms. I sometimes keep my hand there to stretch.
I tried touring with my wife on an ADV bike & wound up with an Electra Glide
Very nice review. Your content covers a lot of topics. Keep up the good work.
I spent 6 years commuting into London on a R1100gs and traffic is no problem.
Very good test ride my friend. I think you covered every Angle in the video Vlog. You've convinced me to test ride one. Thank you
Ceva in accentul tău imi era ciudat. Este primul video al tau pe care îl văd și te invidiez cât de bine si clar vorbești engleză. Super!!! Imi plac videourile tale din multe puncte de vedere. Îți voi abona si canalul pentu că este calitate ceea ce oferi. Merci.
Great video. Thank you. I hope to ride a BMW GS through the Alps this fall. Looking forward to it more now after this.
Good review..Recently replaced my 2014 RT for my first ever 1250 GS Exclusive (swore blind id never by a GS) and have to agree with you on the bike the engine is beautiful. Things i miss from the RT and would like to see on the GS..Five stage heated grips & seat (Hot & Very Hot is not flexible enough for me) especially here in the UK.
New subscriber, I'm enjoying your presentation style and video editing. Fun to watch.
Till now the best review
Great video and review. Keep them coming.
Thanks John. Means a lot.
Well done video!
GS or GSA ? Which one do you prefer and suggest?
GSA all the way. I bought a GS and the next year swapped it for a GSA. Longer suspension travel, larger fuel tank, already comes with aux lights and crash bars and looks like a tank.
I have the same dilemma GS or GSA.
GS looks slimmer and more sporty. It’s a prettier bike IMHO.
GSA big behemoth but more fuel, which I know I will regret if I don’t get it. In Australia GS Rallye X has same suspension as GSA if you need longer suspension. Might be called HP in Europe?
I just can’t decide 😫😭 (first world problems...😏)
very very interesting review, and awesome video quality!
my compliments!
Thank you! Means a lot!
Brilliant review. Comprehensive and interesting. Thank you.
Whatever i buy..
I will be stuck with it for next 5 years.
So it's 1250gs this month
Or
1300 gs after 16/18 months.
I was wondering as to what improvements did 1250 see over the 1200
And if I can use that pattern to predict what will be worthwhile in 1300?
Lusty enuf for me to wait
Any ideas ?
I don't crave much power.
Infact 900/950 is enuf for me
What I want more of is better weight engineering
Even better brakes and safety and ride quality and unique electronics proposition whixh makes me delay my purchase.
Can we talk about the rubber bands and how distracting they are?
What a stunningly beautiful country!!
Great review covering almost all points! And that place is beautiful.
I got lucky with all those leaves :D
Good job
Great contents and beautiful drone footage !
Thanks man!
If you bought that bike again today would you choose the adventure variant or your standard ?
When’s the off road bit of the video coming ? Or was that dirt track the off road ?
Nope. You don't want to take that heavy, 'too easily tilted when you don't want to' machine. Great everywhere else. Price not justifiable in light of owners spending a 3rd of their ownership on courtesy bike 'cause electronics failed. Great looks though and top on tarmac. But avoid wet green lanes at ALL COST. My 25pence view based on experience.
Very nice video and very clear English.Well done!!!
Solid review, thank you
9:58 is that a German Schuberth helmet?
Not sure that music track is helping. It competes with your narration. Maybe tune down the orchestra a bit so we can hear you more easily ? Great reviews otherwise.
Great information and video ! Thank you
What do you have against your hands?
Minor point. 130kph is 80 'miles' per hour... even in America 🙂
BMW = Best Motorcycle in the World !! :)
Razvan R1200GS Is that a riddle ? Or a Joke ? BWAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂
( doesn’t BWW carry with it a Whopping 40 % fail rate ??? )

Sorry but I've seen several ratings & its NOT bs
HenryHonda Really glad to hear that ! I just bought it ! K1600b ‘18 new .. 0 % A.P.R. / 5 yr. 8 yr. warranty total

Danke für den sehr guten bericht👍👍👍
Du bist herzlich Willkommen :D
Stunning scenery!!
Wow I did not realize ADV riders were so pissy about what others wear. Great review.
Thanks for this amazing video 😍
Really good review of the new R1250GS 👌
Thanks Lars!
Really liked the review. I got a question though. Does the 1250 GS come with an alarm system or it has to be aftermarket. Thanks a lot. Around th 20th I should get mine...very likely I will go with the GSA
P.S. I saw it in another blog that's why I am asking about the alarm. Thanks and again great review
2:53 "if you thought it was a girl like me" . I did not think you were a girl! What a surprise.
Where are these leaf filled roads in Romania, would love to tour this area
Foarte tare! Bravo!
Thanks Emil!
great video, well thought out.
Those elastic bands on your left mirror, when on the highway, are very annoying 🤣😂
Cracking review well done.
How do you find moving the bike around in the garage at home? Is it big and heavy and feels like you might drop it? I am not as strong as I was and maybe this could be a problem?
What about the rubber stripe that blowing on your left mirror? it's the "new wind tunnel measurement " of BMW?
Airplanes have that. It is an airspeed indicator.
@@jsprite123 ok
Good review. Love it.
Salut, super misto prezentare! Poti sa-mi spui si mie pe unde este drumul asta forestier, as vrea sa-l fac la primavara ?
Mersi! Bradet -> Transfagarasan
astonishing beautiful !
A very good report. Thank you. Please buy some gloves.
:)) thanks John. You'll see the gloves in the 1250RT review.
Really love the 1250 GS (hp), but reliability issues have kept me off buying one... GS-owners have 2 things in common, they love their bikes, and they all had issues :-(
I've never had an issue with my 2014 GSA
Neither here.
Very good review
Apreciate it!
What happens to your gloves?😔
Top review!
thanks, really useful and in-depth review. easy mistake to make about the moped rider :-)
Nice explanation 😊👍🏻
Great review
2:40 exact asa fac si eu cand stau in trafic, il mangai si il ciocanesc :)))) am crezut ca sunt singurul
Your explanation of the anti-dive properties when braking is not correct. It is the tele lever construction that does the job, it would even work without any electronics :-) You should use gloves no matter abs-pro :-) Otherwise a great review.
Nice review 👏👏
Great video
What jacket is that?
Beautiful, gorgeous bike. But the strings from the price tag handing off the left mirror looks sloppy. Wear your gloves!
You were watching the price tag or listening to the reviews? humans just have to whine coz they have the insatiable itch to whine
I'll be getting mine next month, just in time for the tax write off.
where is this?
800km or 800,000km you mean?
Gloves?
Is the switchgear backlit at night?
Nope.
Yes great review as everyone comments............................Have you bought any gloves yet? Care for your hands or you will live to regret it.
Steve Williams :))) yes. Got 2 pairs so i don’t make the same mistake again.
Glooves?
Iron hands?
very good.
What country u live in?
great review, but, without this Music, it would be better. thanks
I just hate how large the motor is... cant be helped. Price tag is another thing that keeps me away of sure
I am not sure if you are promoting the music but it is very tiring and highly annoying. Sorry to say so. I would rather listen to the noise on the bike and what you have to say.
G/S was gelande straase, GS is gelande sport😁!
