      at first I was angry because I want it so bad, but after looking to the prices in the market here, now I feel that I'm lucky that I did this great deal, because many have paid same as me for a 45k/50k km and a year older...
      between, I'm from Morocco, and since the arrival of the 1300 gs, the prices of the 1250 ADV have gone crazy here, because of the BMW dealer who no longer wanted to bring brand new 1250 GSA to give the new one a chance !!!

    Just watched a bit of the BMW release event video. When the covers came off and the dry ice smoke cleared, it was met with what can only be described as a bit of a 'tumbleweed' moment. Sounded like the audience was literally stunned into silence. The lady presenter left the stage and tried desperately to rouse the crowd, but only managed to elicit a few embarrassingly isolated claps and one or two rather sad yays. Oh, BMW, what have you done?

I got stick from friends, saying it was ugly, especially compared to my Blackbird. The GS has brought me miles of happiness, it’s handling, it’s ability to carry me and pillion and luggage to so many lovely places around Europe. The looks will grow, the smiles with miles brings this to your soul. Every GS has had soul for me. Looks don’t make adventures or memories but everything else with my GS’s has given me so much.

      Today I have actually tried using AI to create a GSA cubism / LEGO style image and they were all better looking than BMW’s own designs. I tried all sorts of things but couldn’t get it to draw anything remotely as awful as the 13000GSA. There has been much debate about when AI will surpass human ability and I’d say that AI is now officially better than the Motorrad Motorcycle Design Team. Maybe it’s just a simple mistake and a designer took some of their 4 year old kid’s crayon drawings into the office and someone thought they were the proofed designs? Maybe it’s a belated April Fool (we know BMW love April Fools Day) and they’ll release the real bike soon.

My problem with the 1300 GS was that it wasn’t gross enough. The front end was neither pretty or ugly, just a bit crap. This thing, however, is gloriously hideous, just like a GS should be!! I think the radar and headlight config actually really suits this bike. I hope everyone hates it so I can snap one up post-depreciation (which I presume will be significant). Someone mentioned the Münch Mammut elsewhere in the comments, and I can definitely see the influence there. Love it love it love it!!! After I’m done with my 12 that’s defo the bike for me.

I love the attention to function on the new 2025 1300 GSA. The storage options are awesome! I like storage mounts they have places on the front sides o the bike and the great way they designed the tank bag mount. I think the new transmission options will be great as well. The more I look at the bike from all angles the more I like it. When I am doing long rides across continents both on road and a lot of off road the bike will be so dirty you will not notice the form of the bike but I will sure appreciate all the functionality of the bike.

I've got no need for a GSA so won't be changing, but I'll be honest, if I didn't have the 1300 already, I'd certainly be interested. Agreed, it's something only a mother could love, but in some respects I think that's why it's growing on me, it's so off the wall that it starts to appeal.
