Ah…the off road photocopier 😂😂😂
😂
After the reveal last Friday, I bought one of the last new 1250 GSA's last Saturday!
Me too! Love the old style much better.
Same here when the standard 1300GS was announced.
Since my 1150 ADVent now has 182,000km on the clock and I saw the new 13erAdventure 🤮 , I thought the same thing
I did the same last December with 1250 GS
I like it……….. I’ll get my coat
Being honest; on first viewing I had to keep from losing my lunch. Few days later? Yeeeeeeeeah it's not *that* bad....
you wish
SO glad I managed to secure the last (allegedly) 1250 Triple black adventure in the U.K! last week.
I WAS waiting for the 1300 but had to go for it before I lucked out and BOY am I glad i did!
I think the residuals on 1250's got a little stonger last week...
SHOCKINGLY ill informed design!
as for the extra 10 bhp! , NEVER have I thought 'oh my 1100/1150/1200 (and now 1250) GSA needs more power!
We designed the new bike around the BMW adventurer experience. Now you have 2x coffee trays to put your Starbucks cups. Side tank bags can hold 5x croissants each. No clutch means your left hand is free to reach your snacks all day. Cup holder sold separate (€4.000)
Are those bars on the tanks for when they make seat belts compulsory?😂😂😂😂
It's been a long wait but at least now I've seen it I can cross it off my wishlist.
😂😅
Crossing the different RUclips channels saying the same thing.. just copy and paste.
Glad you took your time, leaving the dust settle on the radical asthetics before giving a brilliant low down on the bike,
Not gonna lie, im starting to love this. Gonna look like a tank in all black
I have to say that when I looked at the reelece of the R1300GSA I thought it was ugly but when I went onto the configuration a saw the triple black and also the tramentana green I was hooked.
I ride a R1250GSA 40 year’s edition, black and yellow and that’s the most beautiful bike of them all but when you configurate the triple black with all its accessories it looks stunning!
My new dream bike for sure!👍
Well, there's no accounting for taste 😂
I thought that too , first one I saw was the red one and I immediately thought the triple black would look good
I hated it at first, now I love it. Looks incredible in the flesh.
Me too but form follows function
@@steveparish9210 Spec savers have a sale on!
Your reviews are first-rate, well done again.
I'm 6'3" and 235 and I'm sick of all the motorcycles built for shorties. I do 90% of my miles on long-distance trips and I have reached a point in life where I want to be comfortable.
Aesthetics be damned! This bike is an engineering marvel and built for a man! It's the most technologically advanced production motorcycle ever built.
I'm all in! I will buy one! When do the USA units arrive?
I'm 5'5 and have a 1250 GS low suspension, I'm guessing a lot of other buyers are voting with their dollars too for the low suspension models. BMW is chasing the market
@@zachecho9167 - The 1300 GS with ride height adjustment works well for shorter riders. It's hard to find a one-size-fits-all solution. I ride a S 1000 R, which gets very uncomfortable after 300 miles. It's fun though.
"And built for a man"
😅😅😅😅
The 2021-2024 KTM 1290 s or r would actually accommodate you at that height and weight. Just saying.
@@nikos-giorgos - I've reached a station in life where I can be silly. So yea. . . .
I’m not the target audience for a GS Adventure - however, I have to say, I think I like it more than the other models. It’s got a sort of Anima, Cyberpunk-esc look with the squarer shapes and larger, flat metal-looking tank panels. I’m sure when people have the time to let their initial reaction abate, and get the chance to see one in person - they’ll warm to the new, daring direction BMW have gone in.
It is a more quirky, bold design, which looks like it takes some styling elements from the big-tanked Paris Dakar bikes of the 80's. Looks better in the flesh when you can see the curved part of the tank. The images released make it look very slab like. Will be interesting to see how many they have sold when we look back in a couple of years. I like it!
I gotta say, I like the quirky design😂😂😂. But I might be alone there😂😂
Going to trade my 1250 adv this year, when I saw the unveiling of this I thought god that's ugly, then I saw the green version which seems to soften the bloody great slab of aluminium. I'll be off to the dealer at the end of the summer, the Ducati dealer that is to try out the v4 rally...
The only to soften the visual impact of this is to completely paint it in vantablack
Holy shit that looks so cool. I’m not gonna lie, that’s one of the best looking bikes I’ve ever seen on the market. It absolutely won’t be for everyone, I appreciate that. But it really does something for me
I’ve not had a bike for about 10 years and this is the one that I’m looking at to getting back in to the saddle, I think it’s stunning. 👍
The HD Pan Am also automatically lowers the suspension if set-up this way. No need to press a button. The difference though is that the new GS can also do it at the front suspension. The HD can only do it at the rear which is why probably the effect is more pronounced on the GS. I tested the HD Pan Am fitted with it and even though I’m tall enough to really need it I found it to be a great comfort extra.
I still remember well that Ford released the futuristic Sierra in the early 1980s as a successor to the classic Taunus.
The world was in shock!
But after a few years people started to like it and eventually other manufacturers started copying the Sierra.
I expect the same from this BMW.
This model release carried so much expectation, but will an air-conditioning unit crossed with a Suzuki B-King inspire BMW’s loyal customers?
How long do you think it will be before the recall horror shows start?
Love the look of it, not sure why, I've never liked previous GS ADV bikes
I suppose you could always get the toaster painted black on the triple black. But still not for me!
I was really curious to hear your approach and feedback on the looks. You did not disappoint.
I am still dumbfounded that an expert-level moto such as the GSA to be fitted with an ASA for the less-experienced rider and to those who a hydraulic clutch is too heavy to operate on their way to the Starbucks. Thanks for an answer to a question never asked, BMW.
i think the great majority of GS's is mostly used for commuting by white collar guys, especially in western europa, hence lot's of traffic jams. Then such a thing comes in handy.
Well it’s a question I asked as I can’t use a gear change due to an injury. One day you might be there also, let’s hope not.
@@jimporter I wish you well. It comes down to personal choice.
@@fujin09 Western europe? you should plan a trip to western europe or even better in the alps or in the north and observe how many GS you can count on small or alpine roads with no traffic at all. After that, you can try one and will understand why this thing is so beloved. White collar or not, ASA or not. You can ride 1000 km in a day on those bikes and then go out to visit a town or have a cup of coffe (Also Starbucks if you don't like italian coffee) because your aren't tired. If this is commuting, then I'am a commuter.
@@AB-kc3hg seems like you think I wrote something negative, while I didn't. I am from western Europe, I live in western Europe and I commute by Motorbike myself. Thanks for the tip to travel to where I live already, very useful.
I thought that headlight on the 1300 was ugly, but the Adventure said "hold my beer"..
I think this a much better looking bike than the regular new GS. The side lights complement the center light super well. The big tank yes it’s big just like the old bike and for me it looks great. The 1300 GS I actually did not like but this adventure model for me it looks great!
I only watched the first 2 minutes of the video. I didn’t know whether to cry or throw up. BMW has totally desecrated the most beautiful and iconic adventure bikes ever made.
The majority of the bike is great. It's the styling of the gas tank and front side shroud that needs redesigned.
It reminds me of the 1986 Yamaha FZ750 Tenere. like it.
I think it looks amazing, a real cyberpunk style.
Feels like it from Cyberpunk, good enough to me.
The latest mime of this GSA I just saw was
It’s an offspring between Suzuki V-strom and Harley Davidson Pan America
😂😂😂😂
I think even both of them would demand a paternity test & still still deny it was their's.
I like it, great vid 😊
Great design... up to date on the overall design tendency on vehicles 👍🏻
I saw it live in Garmisch, it looks great!
New subscriber here. You are one of the more professional presenters sir. Awesome bike I love its front look.
Shopping for touring bikes. Love it.
Looks awesome. Very bold design.
perfect info... thank u🏍
I like it 👍
Absolutely love it!
I'd love one!
For some reason, watching this made me think about how good the Africa Twin looks and sounds. Also, wonder if Honda will ever really make that supercharged Twin. I keep thinking how awesome that thing should sound. The Africa Twin already sounds so good.
I agree that the red colour makes the "Blockiness" look a lot worse. I actually really like the triple black with the tinted clear coat tank. Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh. Also looking forward to seeing what they do with the rumoured R1300RT!!
Looks bite like the 80’s robcop bike
If you've never owned a GSA, you won't get it,thats why I love the new GSA,big bike,30litre tank, plenty weather protection,most people commenting probably couldn't afford the bike anyway
I really like it, looks like a tank of a bike, just what the GSA is supposed to look like. People who struggle with change will mellow in opinion with time.
The "looks". Function over form for sure. I happen to like it but its personal for everyone. My question for any "auto-box", why not have a clutch lever? You don't need to "fan" the clutch until you do. Any life long rider should agree. (i think) Just like the shift lever that has no mechanical connection to the box, a clutch lever could be the same. Just sends a signal that you want to disengage the clutch. So simple yet could make such a difference to someone who wants the same level of control as a "standard" some of the time but the luxury of an auto-box most of the time. Do it now !!
That sounds like a completely unnecessarily complicated approach when you could just have a normal clutch lever with a quickshifter. Realistically there's no reason to have an automatic on a motorcycle.
I do own a 800 GS - with 2 tanks 36l - and a 1300 GS - I think I keep both ;) range up to 900 at 85 HP and the 1300GS with 19l is a great touring/sport version
I really like it. give it some time.. you all gonna love it
Well, with all the extra luggage on it, including side bags for the tank -> black and green version look quite ok.
In general though... You got the point. Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition for me looks wise.
I’m not totally opposed to this GSA, looks will take getting used to but so has every new one. I’m trying to understand the automatic transmission… besides the need for it if you a medical reason or handicap, I get that. What’s the advantage otherwise? Will the auto clutch burn out down a 100 mile road of sand or deep gravel or would it make it easier to navigate??
Serious balanced informative channel. Best journalist quality among popfluencers! The other ones, is just following the «clouds».
Amazing ❤
Fantastic bike
The all time show stopper for me: no rear light. Like I REALLY want to avoid people running into me with two minuscule little blinkers that double as brake like; rear lights; direction indicators…what else?
Looks awesome! Goes back to their historical bikes
Actually, no bad looking, after 3 days' visual shock 😆😆. Pretty functional and sturdy !
Love the trophy order in
Awesome :)
So glad I moved to Ducati, like the standard but this no, looks are mportant to me…they need an Italian designer.
I like it's aesthetic, but I own Duke 990 and love the way it looks 😅
It would make a fantastic platform for an off road sidecar.
Looks like a big ice cooler 😂
The tank look ok… hate the headlights
Love it. How will they sell? We'll have to see not everyone comments on social media.
Thank god. I’m well over it. 🤬
It is interesting to see other manufacturers stepping into the clutchless shifting game that Honda has dominated for years, but as far as looks go……giant Honda Grom comes to mind 😱!
I think some of the folks who have been waiting for this model, may run out and buy the 2024 model while they still can.
For me, it’s already growing on me to be honest, looking forward to seeing it in person. As of now though, I have no thoughts about letting my 23 GSA go. I think the 1250 is much better looking aesthetically speaking (I prefer rounded over square, as an example, the new Toyota Tundra is a big big miss for me). Great video, thank you
Here is what I think about it: I like it! 👍🏽
Glad I scooped up a 24 ADV.
I think the tech on this bike is brilliant, especially if you add the optional suspension upgrades, radar etc. At first glance I thought the bike is bloody ugly. It reminded me a lot of the Pan America. Very blocky. But I have to say after seeing more detailed pictures thanks to your video, the look of the bike is growing on me. Will I trade in my 2020 R1250 GSA? Well I’ll wait for more detailed ride reviews before deciding.
Looks great! Gonna get one
One note - it's not the first to get ASA. You can order a 2025 GS (I know because I've done so - waiting on a week 34 build), and you can get ASA on it. So technically, since you won't be able to get a GSA before you could get a GS, it's the 2nd.
Sorry, I know I'm being pedantic.
It will sell like crazy.
I thought the Harley Pan America was ugly but BMW well done you have treated a monster 😮 I bet Triumph are rubbing their hand together as the Tiger 1200 is definitely the best Adventure big bike now…
By a long shot too!
I spent a lot of time on the Honda Africa Twin site since the GSA release. I thought the GS was ugly but the GSA takes it to a new level 🤮
It looks awesome, unlike anything else.
love your reviews, but think you are incorrect about ASA. There is is a mechanical link from gear change to gearbox in manual mode, as far as I understand it.
GS Lego1300
Looks like robo cop bike BMW what are you doing 😂😂😂.
Another great video Rob
❤
Incredibile la prima moto adventure vera pronta fabbrica finalmente. Molto jeep a 2 ruote moderna e contemporaneamente evocatica anche completa maschia affascinante aspetto robusto e se và come la vecchia....bingo. La mua prox moto❤
Am I right in thinking that due to warranty replacements of shafts on previous models it’s now part of (paid-for!) service program that shafts are now to be replaced every 30k!?
I’ve not seen the paperwork but if buying - please check it out!
Dear BMW can we have some finger controls for the gear shift as well, some of us can’t use a foot shifter.
Gutted, been waiting for this as the previous GSA always looked better than the standard bike but this is a big fail. Will have to go elsewhere
It will happen the same way as all previous GS. First, everyone (not me) was bashing, second, the best selling bike on the maxi trail segment.
the rieju aventura 500 has 40 liter fuel capacity and it can go 1000km with it
had never heard about it, thanks!
I like it. Powerful, brutal, angular.
i like it more than the old one
It does look like another bike on the market, the HD Pan America. Although that's not a good thing. I thought I'd get used to that bike after a bit of time, but I haven't. Although I have to see this in the showroom, early impressions are not good from my perspective.
The more I see it the more I like it.
Good to see BMW investing a lot R&D on the GS from design and Technology
I love that the Germans don’t go for vanilla and they’re not copying anyone else. I’m going to trust them and see how it looks and rides on the flesh before I make any judgement on the looks.
I think it looks super cool. A GSA should look fat! I think the slim subframe of the normal 1300 GS on this GSA would look the coolest. Just a fat tank and nothing else.
The Pan America doesn't need a button to be pushed to lower or raise the ride height, it does it automatically and seamlessly as you come to and take off from a stop. H-D was the 1st to offer the feature. Bro, I know you're excited, but at least get the info right.
REALLY!! I rode the 1300GS a couple of times and I think it sucks! The suspension is WAY more uncomfortable on my 1250GS!
Hi. I have a question. How can I activate the 30-day Calimoto trial? Thanks in advance.
Imagine having to see it every time you go into your garage 🤮
Lego land approves
Minivan of motorcycles, I loved Gsa series for years…..but this is sad.
Thank goodness the f900gsa has great reviews.
