BMW’s New ASA Auto Gearbox on the 2024 BMW R1300 GS - Is It Any Good?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- In this video, I take the brand-new 2024 BMW R1300 GS out for a spin to test their latest innovation - the ASA auto gearbox. BMW’s iconic adventure bike now features a cutting-edge automatic transmission, but how does it hold up in real-world riding conditions? From road to motorways , and a 0-60mph test I’ll be putting this new tech to the test and sharing my honest thoughts. Does the ASA gearbox enhance the riding experience or is it better to stick with a manual? Let’s find out!

Hi Fella. Luv your vids but may I make a small suggestion. When giving a bike "the beans" like this new BMW block out the speedo coz if a jobsworth is having a bad day and our glorious boys and girls in blue see a speedo showing a high speed you may and I say may have some explaining to do. I'm being selfish here coz I want to see more of the vids that you are going to produce. Keep safe and upright, Old Bloke.
Thanks, and I do appreciate the advice, the speed show is not the correct speed at the time of filming and the prisons are full lol. Thanks for watching.
I can’t believe how that bike has grown on me. As a 1250GS owner where most of the riding is 2 up, I’m tempted with this auto version
That was most helpful, thanks for sharing that, much appreciated, Cheers Simon.
Glad it helped thanks for watching 👍
Just needs a reverse gear & factory fitted front and rear cameras. Oh and illuminated switches.
Yes those 3 things would make a difference. 👍
I would certainly like to try a
Auto gear box I’ve never riden a bike with ine before. I can see the appeal with a big bike like this but I’m not sure about smaller Capacity engines.
I’ve always been a fan, it’s different on this particular bike compared to the Honda DCT but the principal is the same. I know it wouldn’t suit everyone but it’s nice to have the choice. It’s auto for me all the way 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
@@thatbikersimon ey should ALL be made that way.
BMW should fit finger paddles for gear shifts as both Honda and Yamaha have as some of us can’t use the gear shifter.
I thought the fact that they kept the switch where the gear lever is perfect and it’s different to what the others are doing but if you’ve got a foot issue then obviously that would make it easier.
Ummm, not sure. Clever technology, however it seems to remove the finer level of control over the engine particularly when accelerating. I need to try one.
You should go and try one, it’s weird to start with but by the end of it you’ll probably like it. It’s not for everyone I get that but it does make sense to me on these bigger adventure bikes.
Looks great I have ordered the 1300GSA with ASA. Can’t wait . Nice video thanks
Good choice! Like I said in the video I’m a big fan of the auto boxes on these bigger bikes. It make the ride more enjoyable and easier and safer without the compromise of losing the fun. I’m excited for you buddy 👍
You obviously weren't one of those who thought it looked hideous.
I was on a release of the 1300gsa and couldn't believe how many people turned up to see it.
I wonder how many curious hypocrites were in attendance 🤔
@@dianedownie5951 lol yes, it’s always best to see things in the flesh. I can’t wait to do a ride on one.
It's not automatic gearbox, it's automated clutch. Anyway, thanks for video.
Thanks buddy 👍
Technically it is an automated manual gearbox. In automatic the bike will make the gear changes as any auto box would.
Hola Simon , hubo un momento en que te acordaste del curso de caballitos que realizaste pero inmediatamente recibiste una colleja en el casco procedente de tu mujer 🤣
I’m surprised she’s not been in the floor yet 😂🏍️💨💨💨💨
Great… but why acceleration test in ROAD mode not in DYNAMIC ??? It is like Touring vs Sport in Ducati…
I did try the dynamic and couldn’t keep the front wheel on the ground with a full throttle.
It's the gearbox and the adaptive ride height that have sold me on this GS, due to circumstances it will be a 26/27 bike so the gremlins should of been sorted by then, cracking vid Simon do you plan to do one on the adaptive ride height and the Radar/blind spot monitor
Yes this bike had the adaptive ride hight aswell so when I came to a stop
My feet were flat down. It’s definitely made it much better and easy to manage. It doesn’t feel so big now.
@@thatbikersimon I got that feeling aswell, The new design does seem to have lost the bulk around the tank and headstock of the 1250 and that seems to make it less intimerdating ride making it a more comfortable experience for me anyway.cheers for the vids. D
@@davesanders3744 cheers Dave 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Like the foot operated override, like paddles in my car, Ducati need to fit it to the Multi. Certainly better for two up touring, much smoother…loved my GSs but hated the gearbox. I’m trying the GS next time with suspension lowering and auto box….
yes go and try this with the adaptive ride height you’ll be pleasantly surprised i think, i do hope Ducati bring out for the multi aswell its the
Way forward on these big adventure bikes.
@@thatbikersimon Being 64, with increasing arthritis I need every bit of help I can get, love my Multi V2S, but to be honest it’s the new GS or the Multi V4S next time, probably my last big adventure bike but I’m not stopping riding till I can’t get on a bike😆.
@@IanTed I know there putting the auto box on the 1250 aswell so there’s another option, I can’t fault you enjoy 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Nice tecnology 😮
I like it. 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Like the video, but I’m sure my v4 DCT is smother on the changes especially in the lower gears, just the way it comes across.
Do you mean the Honda or Ducati with quick shifter?
DCT should always be smoother due to the two clutches.
@@thatbikersimonprobably means the no longer produced 1200cc engine from the VFRs.
Il stick with my v4 Honda 1200x crosstourer DCT which is a keeper.
@@TheZanshen I was trying to get Honda to lend me a new DCT Africa twin sport but they don’t seem interested
How do you put neutral while standing on signal?
Good question, I’m sure it’s possible but I’ve can’t remember trying that on the demo ride. I shall look into this further. 🧐
Love from 🤍 🇮🇳
Thanks buddy 🙏
🙏👋
Honda DCT is way ahead and reliable and proven.
I don’t disagree but this works and it’s BMW. I do love the dct though 👍
Ooooh .. that biker Simon , I thought it was that piker Simon. 🤣
lol
Sounds like it's a Multistrada replacement?!
Mick how dare you 😂 I’m now wondering if Ducati will follow suit now. I’m must admit I did enjoy this
Bike with this auto box on it
@@thatbikersimon Ducati must follow suit I'm sure of it. Can you wait till then though??
@@mick998r if anything Mick I would buy a F900GS that’s more like the rinding I tend to do now.
I met gay and Happy Roy once.ONCE!!!!
Congratulations 😂
Sounds very ' tappety'😕
It’s not that bad to be honest it’s not the same as the DTC but very smooth. I like it
It’s a GS but the mic makes it sound far worse…
