Sure its worth to buy, but depends on the km and Price someone ask for it? In my opinion its always important to see what fits me well. Is it the GSA with low km as i want to travel a lot with it or is it myabe the GSA that is younger but has more km as i dont drive so much with it.
@@majestix_adv yeah it has Low miles around 7160 miles but BMW gsa gives 3 years and 36000 miles of warranty if I purchase 2016 I cannot purchase extended warranty there is a grace period like the motorcycle should be within 36 months to have extended warranty.. Anyways I would only ride during summer we have winter days ..But I love to do long tours with GSA .. not sure if it worth to keep it for a longer time
@@shajum.k8316 ok so its a low km bike then i can say it can only be that suspension gets an issue over time even its low on miles everything else should be fine... i would insist they do a new service new tyres on it then its ready to go ;) you can ride it and sell again ;) if price is right now. Its a hard time to sell bikes so maybe they go lower to
Is the R1250GS really an adventure bike? At one time BMW was the RTW bike of choice. Now it's a bike that no one chooses for RTW. Who ever heard of an adventure bike for which the manufacturer will not provide a service manual?
@@majestix_adv A lot of people? Really? Care to cite some? The basic stuff hardly suffices when you are in the middle of nowhere and no dealership anywhere. Best to restrict "adventures" to within towing distance of a dealership.
@@LouisStreet so bike would be your choice? If you would go for a RTW trip.... What would you be able to repair on this bike in the middel of nowwhere?
@@majestix_adv I suggest you peruse the Horizons Unlimited forum for an appreciation of what real adventure riders are choosing as motorcycles up to the task. You missed the point - a newer BMW has very many more points of vulnerability that can leave one stranded thanks to the excessive amount of superfluous technology. Potential repairs in the field have changed little over the years and a competent DIYer can handle all the usual stuff. What a rider in the middle of nowhere is helpless to address is a bike that won't run because some electronic system whose function isn't actually mission critical has failed. RTW riders chose bikes with proven reliability and SIMPLICITY because there are less point of vulnerability. BMW has evolved away from adventure riders to cater to those who have a fascination with technological gadgetry and a willingness to buy the latest new feature. Because BMW makes much of its profit on financing new purchases it constantly comes out with new features to maintain new bike churn. The new stuff often introduces new points of failure that usually get corrected over time but then more new stuff comes out with more new points of failure. One valued characteristic of real RTW bikes is that they are a mature platform with a record of reliability.
Thank you 👊
I have a 12 my r1250gsa its nearly 2 years old i am worried about problems after warranty ends

You see a lot people still going for BMW to do RTW trips.....
The basic stuff you find in the manual of the bike....

@@majestix_adv And what about the REPLACEMENT of the driveshaft as part of scheduled maintenance??? That's just over the top.
