Congrats on the bike! I’ve always felt like you have a special channel. You have a sense of grace that is unique in the RUclips bike world. Hope this new content propels you further! Good luck 👍
I saw that the other video you had posted about the deterioration on the headers was suddenly marked private. I hope that all works out for you. The service you do in bringing issues like this up is absollutely invaluable to us. This could happen to any bike from any manufacturer, but now the onus is on BMW to show how they support their very expensive product.
Thank you. I just want to make sure that all my "T"s are crossed and all my i's are dotted before I put it back to public. I will do more testing before I post it back up. take care, Scott
Beautiful day to pick up a new bike !!! Wonderful news for you Scott. I look forward to seeing more of the 3 bikes out in the ( seemingly semi-permanent) German sunshine !! Greetings from the UK
Nice going Scott, can’t say I blame you. After such great reviews of the new GS, it will be fun to ride and review this bike. My German wife compares my 2021 GS to a Christmas tree; I am always hanging new things on it, just as you will😂. Have fun and ride safe. Greetings from Berlin,Jim
Wow, Scott, congratulations with this awesome bike! And with the right colour and spoked wheels, a real beauty! Never expected to see you ever on a self-owned allroad. Glad you do now, I look forward to all of your vlogs about it!
Congrats to your new bike! You inspired me to buy the R1250GS in 2019! Now you own two of my favourite bikes available on earth!! I‘m sooo jealous…😂😂 Good luck with your new bike and always ride safe!!!
Oh, I know the feeling.... Nov 21st, I test rode a 2023 R 1250 GS, Trophy, in Blue.... 6 miles on it. Test rode it for 7 miles, and was back the following morning, closing the deal. BMW Motorcycles Ventura, CA, ask for Dagan, he just might make you an offer you can't refuse. Followed with a Black Friday sale, saved $500 on Vario side bags, for a pair. Adding some Touratek cylinder head tube protectors.
One knows you have a good life when your biggest concern is how to decide between two bikes...or just keep them both! Congratulations! (I guessed green...)
Although I’m still a KTM guy and own the current 1290r and 890r Duke. I like how you too now have your two favorite bike’s in your garage. Congratulation.
The RT would win on weather protection I feel. I'll never own any BMW but I own a 2015 Triumph Trophy SE which is a copy of an RT except for the engine, the silky smooth 3 cylinder I prefer over a boxer twin any day.
Congrats man looking forward to your opinions on that bike, um sure you're gonna have a lot of fun. I think you should keep both the bikes i mean they just complement each other and give you different experiences
Congrats on the GS, look forward to your perspective and always interesting videos. Just left Germany myself after 3 weeks vacation with the Frau in Wurzburg area, was unable to view a 1300GS in person prior to leaving due to the local dealer being on holiday schedule.
Yea, so true. It's really very simple, it does everything and I mean everything well. Sure there are others that are better in certain categories, for example - KTM = off-road, Ducati = performance, Triumph = on-road & looks. But the GS does all 3 and does all 3 very well...that is the secret of a good ADV bike. But the other secret is that BMW has been doing this since 1980, a lot longer than any of the others. 😁👍
This just what the Doctor ordered as I ride an Rt 2 up here in the Alps and am looking for Bike that is a bit more nimble in the Alps when riding 2 up. I have the new Gs 1300 on my radar and so therefore am looking forward to your future comparisons.
OH NO!!!! You didn't get the green one. Thank goodness you're going to sell it. Only joking (a little). Looks like a fabulous bike and.....I bet the RT goes before the newbie GS. Safe riding
Nice one. The all black is cool on that new GS. Interesting the center stand assist lol. They should also make a stripped base version. My ‘05 a still runs like a Swiss watch, so these are a solid investment. 👌🏽
Well done. I’m not surprised you’ve done it and currently resisting any urge to try one. That’s how I ended up with my GS1200 LC 10 years ago….. Looking forward to your development of the bike.
I traded my 2022 RT. I got the blue with all the options. I love the handling of the new Evo suspension. the windscreen is absolutely amazing on the highway. I won’t miss my RT faring.
Congratulations to You and - again - I'm very impressed about Your gracefulness! Not even talking about the outstanding channel name which has forced me to think about my personal attitude towards my life. Greetings!
Hi Scott, I have just signed up for a 1300gs and await its delivery. I did trade my RT1250 as the roads around here are narrow and the surfaces bumpy. I was frustrated when i placed my order for the bike as I didnt want the vario gear preferring to fit my existing touratech panniers. However, I could not opt to deselect the touring pack (with the vario pannier rails) as I would lose the gps mount. The only way round it was to opt for the base model and spec. it up accordingly. But if do this I would find the resale value would be less simply because it wouldn't be a TE model. so net result i end up with rails I have to remove! I will be interested to see which aftermarket luggage you opt for. Great channel by the way. keep up the good work. Paul
Going to enjoy following all mods. you do to your GS . RT is lookin good. Congrats . Love my 21 F 650 GS . Had my 1st. road trip to BMW Motorrad in Alabama. Bike ran incredible.
What are Aloominum cases Scott?Oh, I think you meant Aluminium. Seriously though, congrats on the new bike [Although I would have personally gone with that lovely green with the gold wheels].It's a great feeling picking up a new bike. I am still so in love with my '22' Aprilia 1100 V4 Tuono. Keep them both if you can. We are here on this planet for such a short time that it is essential that we try to make our lives as positive, enjoyable and fun as is humanly possible.
Wishing you the health to enjoy it fella! Always said if you want something badly enough and if you’ve enough imagination, you can convince yourself of anything….new subscriber btw 😎
Yeah, that 1300 GS has a LOT of new goodies, including changing the location of the transmission. Like you, I bought a 2023 RT and really love that bike and have learned to ride it fast, but recently I rode a Pikes Peak and it ruined me. So my RT is up for sale. Looking forward to seeing more videos of your new GS, enjoy!
I like the idea for the channel and clearly you are a good salesman to get your nice lady to agree. Looks like a great 2024 riding season coming up I'm looking forward to the videos.
Nice timing Scott, I’ve just agreed on purchasing the same bike on the trophy decoration with my dealership. But my wife wouldn’t let me sell the RT , even if I wanted! 😂✌️ I’ll be looking forward to watch the videos of your new GS. Congratulations!
Congrats on the bike! I’ve always felt like you have a special channel. You have a sense of grace that is unique in the RUclips bike world. Hope this new content propels you further! Good luck 👍
Stolen words from my keyboard.... I agree
That has to be an amazing feeling! And on top of that to have a wife that supports such a habit... That's outstanding!
Lol yeah most of us have to say “what … no that’s the same bike” 😅😂
I saw that the other video you had posted about the deterioration on the headers was suddenly marked private. I hope that all works out for you.

I just love the way you breakdown your decision making. Makes you appear authentic. My notifications are on to follow your progress. Thank you Sir.

Congrats, Scott. Look forward to the content! Really hope the channel continues to GROW 👍🏻
Congratulations for your new motorcycle. Keep up the excellent work you share with us on this channel.
The feeling picking up a new motorcycle 🫶🏼
Wow, Scott, congratulations with this awesome bike! And with the right colour and spoked wheels, a real beauty! Never expected to see you ever on a self-owned allroad. Glad you do now, I look forward to all of your vlogs about it!
Congratulations Scott. Very happy for you. And of course the ensuing content. Enjoy ❤️
yeah keep em both, in fact to my eyes it looks like you could fit an additional 2 motorcycles in that garage. All for the channel of course 🤣
🤣🤣 Yea, that's the last thing I need is more encouragement on getting more bikes 🤣🤣👍👍
Congrats to your new bike!
You inspired me to buy the R1250GS in 2019! Now you own two of my favourite bikes available on earth!! I‘m sooo jealous…😂😂
Good luck with your new bike and always ride safe!!!
Congrats on the new bike, looking forward to seeing what accessories you install
New bike day is always a great day!! Congrats on that beauty! Ronny in Canada
Congrats Scott, it looks amazing!🎉🎉 Keep up the good work!!!
Congrats dear Scott.... I wish you some safe and happy miles on this King of the hill.... 🎉😊
You better get on the first name basis with the mechanics. This one will be remembered for being a quite maintenance-heavy bike :)
Having a rubber mat on the garage floor saves the centre stand from getting scratched & rusting 😆 Keep the vids coming 😁
Congratulations Scott, love your channel and the content you provide, All the best 🏍👍
Oh, I know the feeling.... Nov 21st, I test rode a 2023 R 1250 GS, Trophy, in Blue.... 6 miles on it. Test rode it for 7 miles, and was back the following morning, closing the deal.

That will be my next bike as well in a couple of years. Now I just have to keep enjoying my 2023 GS 1250 Rally🙅♂️
Congratulations. Looking forward to future videos. Hope you enjoy it! 😎👍
One knows you have a good life when your biggest concern is how to decide between two bikes...or just keep them both!
Congratulations! (I guessed green...)
Although I’m still a KTM guy and own the current 1290r and 890r Duke. I like how you too now have your two favorite bike’s in your garage. Congratulation.
Congratulations on the new bike. Add love to see a comparison between the GS and the RT as far as weather protection and ride comfort.
Hmm...great idea 👍👍 Thank you!
The RT would win on weather protection I feel. I'll never own any BMW but I own a 2015 Triumph Trophy SE which is a copy of an RT except for the engine, the silky smooth 3 cylinder I prefer over a boxer twin any day.
glad u got the black, thanks happy new year when it comes
Thanks! Happy New Year too!
Two Thumbs Up! 👍 👍
Beautiful machine, looking forward to your up coming videos about it!
Congrats on the new bike!!🎊 Beautiful machine. Christmas comes early this year for you.
“In addition to” is always better than “in place of.”😎 Congratulations!
Any new bike day is a great day. Hope you have many happy miles on your new GS.
Congrats man looking forward to your opinions on that bike, um sure you're gonna have a lot of fun. I think you should keep both the bikes i mean they just complement each other and give you different experiences

Happy new GS. Well there is no greater endorsement given all the bikes you test ! 😀👍
Yea, so true. It's really very simple, it does everything and I mean everything well.

Damn, I thought I gave up jealousy when I hit my 60’s!
Congratulations ! So nice that you are being a beta tester for us. Thanks.
As we say in Greece… «πάντα όρθιος»
Always Standing !!
Have a blast with that beauty!!
I'll have a look at the 1300 when they release an adventure version.
Every 1200GS (2018) owners dream…owning an RT as well !
Greetings from Toronto !
Wow nice choice, I love my RT too but I’m liking the new GS. Looking forward to your videos Scott thanks 👍
Beautiful! You'll never see u-haul behind a hearse. Keep both and enjoy!
OH NO!!!! You didn't get the green one. Thank goodness you're going to sell it. Only joking (a little). Looks like a fabulous bike and.....I bet the RT goes before the newbie GS. Safe riding
LOL!
Nice one. The all black is cool on that new GS. Interesting the center stand assist lol. They should also make a stripped base version. My ‘05 a still runs like a Swiss watch, so these are a solid investment. 👌🏽
As a Rider of 30 years I love your videos
I don’t blame you Scott, mine’s due 1st March. I’ll be looking forward to your experiences with the bike, enjoy!
I have the Triumph 660 sport, and love it! Hope you enjoy the new ride as much as the RT.
You sound excited. Welcome to the GS club.
Well done. I’m not surprised you’ve done it and currently resisting any urge to try one. That’s how I ended up with my GS1200 LC 10 years ago….. Looking forward to your development of the bike.

Loving the school boy grinning, enjoy your new bike!
My vote was for the Green..
Congrats.
Congratulations sir for your wonderful new bike 🥳
Same as mine, I've had mine for nearly two weeks and I am loving it!
Congratulations on the 1300GS, looks like at the end of the year you will end up like the TMF with the beginning of MC collection.
Congratulations to you! enjoy your sweet sweet 1300 GS!!
Hello. Congrats...you deserve it! Hoping for nice weather to drive and test. Regards from Hessen.
Congrats Scott. Really good looking bike. Have fun ;)
Gorgeous bike, congrats.
Congrats, you’ll love her!
Nice, I will wait for RT with the new engine, exciting!
Hi
Congratulations for this new bike.
Always a good ride.
And stay upright above.
Greetings from OWL
Thank you for your reply,
I can let him know to go for the 1300.
oh come on man, you really like that new v-strom look? :) anyway new bike in stable is always a good thing, keep them all.
My sentiments as well when the GS1300 came out.
Found myself drawing similarities in style to my Suzuki Gixxer 250 naked (distilled Vstrom looks) 😅🤭
Congratulations 👏 on the new stead , looking forward to see how you get on with it in the future videos

Great channel by the way. keep up the good work. Paul
Good luck with the great looking new bike -Ride safe 👍🏻
enjoy your new ride, new motorcycle day is always exciting
That's awesome! It night be tougher to sell after you've done all the mods to it. Enjoy!
Congrats on the new GS, it's a beauty. Safe travels. Regards, Mike in Ireland
I live in Australia, I could still come and get it and then do a ‘Ewan McGregeor’ and go the Long Way Down’… Haah..
Subscribed. Nice one Scott
Or…. (Now here’s an idea) you could deliver! Haah
Going to enjoy following all mods. you do to your GS . RT is lookin good. Congrats . Love my 21 F 650 GS . Had my 1st. road trip to BMW Motorrad in Alabama. Bike ran incredible.
I don’t even want a 1300 but I’m following because you are a great guy. Enjoy learning
What are Aloominum cases Scott?Oh, I think you meant Aluminium. Seriously though, congrats on the new bike [Although I would have personally gone with that lovely green with the gold wheels].It's a great feeling picking up a new bike. I am still so in love with my '22' Aprilia 1100 V4 Tuono. Keep them both if you can. We are here on this planet for such a short time that it is essential that we try to make our lives as positive, enjoyable and fun as is humanly possible.
Excellent choice!
Wow nice gift Scott 👍
You’ll love them both
Beautiful MC! Looking forward to hearing your owner experience. This model is on my short list.
....wow..... you have my 'fantasy garage', 21' RT & 1300GS..... you lucky fella!
Congrats on the new GS!! Now you have the best of both worlds with the RT also! I have a ‘22 Triple Black RT and love it!
Congrats 😀 Beautiful and great choice of color.
Congrats Scott. What a bike! Hopefully it will pay for itself with the interest on your channel

Yeah, that 1300 GS has a LOT of new goodies, including changing the location of the transmission. Like you, I bought a 2023 RT and really love that bike and have learned to ride it fast, but recently I rode a Pikes Peak and it ruined me. So my RT is up for sale. Looking forward to seeing more videos of your new GS, enjoy!
Really like the green
All the colors are nice, but I was rooting for the green!

Very nice 👍. I think these will be popular!
Nice timing Scott, I’ve just agreed on purchasing the same bike on the trophy decoration with my dealership. But my wife wouldn’t let me sell the RT , even if I wanted!
😂✌️
I’ll be looking forward to watch the videos of your new GS.
Congratulations!
Congrats for the brand new bike.
