Thanks. With putting yourself out on public display you get a lot of exaggerated negativity... It is nice to hear a word of kindness once in a while. Cheers.
Good review thanks. I bought one in Sept 2019, got 11K miles on it already. Great bike. Hope you're enjoying the 850. I chose the 750 as I don't go off-road, cheers
Thank you very much. I was very impressed with all 3 F bikes. My GSA is approaching 10k and I’m still loving it. I’m glad you’re enjoying your 750 as well.
Best review that I've seen on this bike. I have the same color 21 model. Budds BMW you have a class act reviewing your bikes. Camera work was superb. Excellent mic. for engine . Super focus on close ups. Why no mention of the quick shifter though. Other bike reviewers should pay attention to the details of your filming. Like your elevated camera angle when returning to the dealer. Top Notch stuff.!! I subbed Thanx.
Thanks so much. This is probably the nicest comment I’ve ever received. I’ll send this over to Budds’ BMW, they’ll appreciate it as well. Thanks again!
Thanks kindly for the nice words. Good luck on your test ride. Yes, I’m in Canada (Ontario). I did a review of this bike and an 850… Because I loved them so much I ended up purchasing the 850. Great bikes and a huge improvement over the previous generation of F series bikes.
Bro is it capable enough on the free ways here in United States??? We drive in miles I wanted to get a Used one but just checking if this is underpowered or not
@@Peeohtrek great Thankyou bro yeah I always wanted to get a1250 or 1200 gsa but the price is double than the 750 ,older 1200 was something which I was pushing to my mind which is 2016.But Thankyou for that information .Keep riding bro ✌🏻
I only rode it for 3 days and I don’t seem to recall any jerk issues. The only jerk on that bike, at the time, was me, lol. But definitely mention it to your local dealer and keep bringing it up as that issue could escalate. Thanks for watching.
I’m not sure that there is a difference in height of the TB bike. I think it’s mainly cosmetic… but I’m not 100% sure of what the difference is. If you’re local, reach out to Budd’s BMW Motorrad and I’m sure they will be able to help you out better with the specifics of each trim. Cheers!
Got my 750 GS 3 Month before and its amazing. With the features of the 1250 it is the best bike in the middle class. You didn't use the Quickshifter for the Acceleration Test? Over 5 Seconds isn't a good result. This bike can perform better.
I agree. I think BMW has figured out that this is a stand alone bike rather than a stepping stone bike. In the past the 700 was a bike that you purchased to work up the confidence to get a 1200. Now it is it's own thing. Slightly more street than GS but fun and capable non the less... As for the 5 seconds... I ride a 690 Enduro... so to me the power seemed like alot. Once I calculated it at home I was a bit disappointed. Especially after seeing other on RUclips doing it in 4.... But I only had 3 tries, and it was a borrowed bike. Lol, I'm just slow. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
I think you will be fine but if you are not comfortable BMW does offers a lowered suspension option for that bike. Stop by a dealership and put a leg over one. best way to tell. Also, don't be afraid of balancing a bike with only one foot. The whole thing of having both feet planted is a myth.
I don't mind paying more for a quality item (I happily own 2 older BMW bikes) but I would feel cheated finding out the engine is made in China. You pay more for a German machine exactly because the engineering and manufacturing is German. I was seriously excited by this machine, and considered buying one -until I found out that the engine was made in China. It is sad that company profit comes ahead of brand integrity for the current generation of executives.
westeagle00 I’m just trying to stay hopeful because I purchased an 850GSA... So, I’m really hoping German, engineering and manufacturing techniques will translate well into this product.... I hope.
I wouldn't worry about that. It's still subject to BMW quality control. My BMW car was actually made in South Carolina and it's been great! I knew it was made in America before I bought it, but it didn't put me off.
Dude, really? Multiple 0-60 runs on a brand-new bike that you borrowed from a dealer? You know about break-in periods, right? A disservice to the person who ends up buying this bike. Side note: you referred to the mount above the handlebars that allows you to interact with "your GPS." No. It only interacts with BMW's Navigator GPS, by Garmin, which is about $1,000 USD.
Thanks for your concern. Having worked for BMW, being an F850GSA owner and having read the owner's manual, let me assure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with THAT kind of riding during the break in period. Please note that the red line (8000 rpm) was only reached for a split second in one out of the 3 attempts. Most of the other riding was below or around the manufacturers recommended 6500 rpm. The important thing to do during the break in period is to vary the engine's rpm without keeping it constant. This allows the engine to go through many heat variation which help to smooth and properly seal the cylinders. Some engine manufactures even recommend increasing the bike's engine speed to the rev limit for short periods of time. As per BMW's owner's manual: 1. Until the running-in check, very the throttle opening and engine-speed range frequently; avoid riding at constant engine rpm for prolonged periods. 2. Try to do most of your riding during this initial period on twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoiding high-speed main roads and highways if possible. 3. Comply with running-in speed. 6500rpm As for the "your GPS" comment, that was meant to be rhetorical (make a statement rather than to elicit information). Have a great day and stay safe. Cheers.
Peeohtrek I have read the same manual-I own this bike. There is a world of difference between varying the load and occasionally running up to redline WHILE UNDERWAY during break-in and what you show in this video. No manufacturer would recommend multiple full-throttle 0-60 runs, from a standstill, on a bike that very well may have had only a couple of miles on the odometer. I can’t imagine that even people who follow the “break it in hard” philosophy would do that. Anyway...you can choose to break in a your bike any way you want. This wasn’t your bike to break in. Sorry...my comments sound harsh and that’s not me. I just don’t like seeing demo bikes treated this way. Because someone eventually buys the demo.
200Fathoms What’s the difference between going into the higher rpm during a 0-60 or while trying to pull away in traffic? You are still in higher rpm and you’re putting the same stress on the engine. As a matter of fact a Tech will rev the bike high during the pre-delivery test ride to make sure the bike is in perfect working order. They also do it at the factory when your bike is first turned over and plugged into a dyno. That test puts your bike into higher rpm than my ride and for a lot longer. Going into the red is what your bike was designed to do once in a while. My 0-60 attempts weren’t full throttle just as the tach shows. If you want to ride your bike like it’s made out of sugar then go ahead but don’t bother me with your concerns and views as they are not accurate. Oh and you’re sorry that it sounds harsh? You start off your dialogue with “dude, really?”... Give me a break!
One last thing... I just spoke with my Tech. He said that the only thing that is bad for the engine is to constantly bounce the top RPM off the limiter. RPM variation, and constant heating and cooling of the cylinders is ok. He watched the video and said that other than "poor clutch control" nothing bad was done.
Great review and test ride. Good camera view, good bike info. Interesting, clear, informative, a joy to watch, with humour. 👍
Thanks. With putting yourself out on public display you get a lot of exaggerated negativity... It is nice to hear a word of kindness once in a while. Cheers.
Nice review.
I bought one almost a year ago and I'm totally satisfied!
I got a chance to ride both the 750 and 850 GS. I loved them so much that I purchased a 850 GSA. Love it to this day.
Also, please consider subscribing… the numbers help me with RUclips algorithms. Thanks.

Nice review. Km/Hr so I’m thinking you are in Canada 🍁 I’m test riding one tomorrow.
Thanks kindly for the nice words. Good luck on your test ride.
Yes, I’m in Canada (Ontario). I did a review of this bike and an 850… Because I loved them so much I ended up purchasing the 850. Great bikes and a huge improvement over the previous generation of F series bikes.
BMW does make some really nice bikes, with lots of bells and whistles. It’s just too bad they at a higher price point. Ride safe bro.
Peter Gajewicz I agree 👍
How did I not respond to this? I'm going through my old comments. LOL. Cheers!
Peeohtrek we all find old comments that mysteriously pop up from time to time lol
What a fun ride. I was very pleasantly surprised, the previous gen version was not as impressive as this.. #bmwmotorrad #f750gs #2019F750gs
YES.
Nice review, short and to the point. Question: why is the TFT in kilometers???
Thanks so much. As for the TFT… Because I live in Canada. But you can change it to Imperial very easily!
Bro is it capable enough on the free ways here in United States??? We drive in miles I wanted to get a Used one but just checking if this is underpowered or not
It is totally capable of driving on the freeways. Enough displacement for expressways for sure.
@@Peeohtrek great Thankyou bro yeah I always wanted to get a1250 or 1200 gsa but the price is double than the 750 ,older 1200 was something which I was pushing to my mind which is 2016.But Thankyou for that information .Keep riding bro ✌🏻
@shajum.k8316 I had a 2019 850GSA and that bike was one of my fave bikes ever. It will reach 200km/120mi easy. Same engine as the 750…
@@Peeohtrek Thanks a lot much appreciated!!
Nice review!
Thank you kindly.
My 2020 f 750 gs 20.000 km, jerks at low rpm. People are devided if it is normal. This is my only critic point about this bike.
I only rode it for 3 days and I don’t seem to recall any jerk issues. The only jerk on that bike, at the time, was me, lol. But definitely mention it to your local dealer and keep bringing it up as that issue could escalate. Thanks for watching.
How tall are you?
Have you ever ridden the triple black?
I’m 6” or 183cm. And I have not ridden the triple black edition of this or any GS. Only the standard and rallye editions.
I’m not sure that there is a difference in height of the TB bike. I think it’s mainly cosmetic… but I’m not 100% sure of what the difference is. If you’re local, reach out to Budd’s BMW Motorrad and I’m sure they will be able to help you out better with the specifics of each trim. Cheers!
Forgot to mention the most important detail ... price.
Peter Gajewicz Considering it’s not produced or assembled in Germany, that’s pretty steep price tag for 800cc bike.
Definitely a price that makes it hard to justify a purchase... But this is why Honda and KTM are gaining on this manufacturer in the ADV segment.
Peeohtrek The new Yamaha Tenere 700 is a much better choice and it will be much cheaper as well.

My height is 167cm. Is this model good for me?

@@Peeohtrek Thank you, One day I'll travel around the world by bike. 😅
@@abdulazizalghamdi4981 Me too, one day. That's my dream. Cheers!
looked easy and manageable but 224kgs wet sound a bit too much...
It didn’t feel heavy. But for a novice it might be a bit too much.
What’s your height??
I’m 6’ or 183cm.
Nice!
thanks.
This Budds for You! :)
Lol.
Price is lofty being a German machine, but the dealbreaker for me would be that the engine is made in China.
It’s still a BMW, and the warranty and all the guarantees apply. BMW seem to believe in the built quality but time will tell. Stay safe!

@@paulyflyer8154 Yes but quality in China is not the same as in USA. China is slowly improving but historically full of shortcuts and shoddy output.
BMW loses a lot of engineering cred by putting that ridiculous, ineffective wind screen atop that bike. WTF BMW?
I think because this bike wasn't really fitting into the ADV/DS segment, BMW tried to sell it as a naked street bike. But I could be wrong...
Road mode sucks. Dyna... the only way to go.
You are correct. I was a bit worried as it wasn’t my bike…
