2019 BMW F750GS Owners Review after 1 Riding Season!

2019 BMW F750 GS owners review. This is my opinion after riding the bike for 3800 miles during the summer (or one season of riding). I went for 64 rides (BMW connected app stats) over the span of 6 months both solo and with a passenger. We did two multi day trips, and a ton of single day outings as well as short rides. This is a great bike and well worth the purchase, I would definitely make this decision again. The BMW F750GS is a great entry level touring machine that can handle any conditions you might throw at it. It excels in the on pavement portion but can handle the dirt road or light off road adequately. Coupled with BMW's 3 year warranty and included Roadside Assistance for no cost, it was an easy decision.

This is the best review I’ve watched on the BMW 750GS I have seen so far and I have watched a ton of them. I’m in the market and this video explains a great deal on the workings of the bike and it is explained in a clear and concise way. It just made me want to go immediately out and buy one. Good job.

Thanks, that means the world to me. I appreciate the feedback and you taking the time to leave me a comment. Stay safe, stay healthy and I hope you get the bike you fall in love with.

Same here. I love my 750 GS. It is a very versatile bike with no problems so far. One of the biggest advantages is, that you get all the Goodies from the Premium Class in the Middle Class.

Just ordered a 2023 F750 GS premium Saturday, will be 2-3 months to build and get here in AZ, I love the BMW , had a F800st....put 20,000 miles on that with zero issues. they just have better features than other makes, Cruise control the Great bright screen dif ride modes! Test rode a Triumph 650 new with bags included, not as much power as this will have. f70 GS is made with the 850 motor, detuned, you get same torque , more money but worth it IMO

I agree, it also comes with factory 3 year warranty and road side assistance. That is worth 1k by itself to buy just the extended warranty for other bikes

Great review from an owner's perspective. So much more valuable than someone doing an hour's test ride. BMW are doing some really good deals on these in the UK and it's gone to the top of my list when I finish my training and get my full licence.

Having got the 2012 F800GS I'm edging now towards a new bike, riding mine weight wise is no issue, eh I'd be just as comfortable on a 1250GS but the pushing it about in and out of the garage etc I actually find it heavy! So I'm looking at going the Street Triple, (I don't go off road on it) BUT I'm on a couple of BMW forums and the amount of people saying I need to go 850 has me questioning whether or not to stick with the BMW. It's highly rated. They say MUCH better than my 8 yr old which is interesting. I'll be having a demo before any final decision that's for sure. Nice work Chappy!

@RideOnTwo 4 жыл бұрын

honestly I bought the 750 because I had no interest in going off road. It has the same 850 motor but is tuned differently. What I like the most about the bike is the connectivity and being able to control music etc without taking hands of the bars. For the price there are not too many bikes that give you these options. Thanks for watching Neal, I appreciate you stopping by. Now to figure out why I never got a notification that you left a comment, sorry it took so long to reply!

@d zora hello and thanks for watching. I have had the bike on the highway and there were no vibrations from the bike. There is a steering dampener under the fairing that helps with that. I have also done this with a solo rider, a passenger and even passenger and full saddlebags. I would recommend getting a aftermarket windscreen if you will be doing a lot of highway riding, full wind on the chest and head for long periods can lead to fatigue.

Thanks for your review. Yup, I have one of these bad boys. Would I buy another? No, now that I have seen the new Triumph tiger 900. I got mine as a compromise. I need to tour with luggage. I liked the cruise, sat nav, quick shift, TFT. I also wanted to have full headset connectivity. Was his achieved? No. The quick shifter is not really effective. The sat nav is a faff. The wind screen is totally non effective. The TFT screen is nice but it's a nightmare to connect all of the Cardo, phone, TFT into a working, usable tool. It does handle well (but a bit top heavy) its frugal, has plenty of power and works well virtually anywhere. I live in the North east of Scotland and it is great for the twisties up here. I also hired one while on Gran Canaria and scooted about the mountains in really hot temperatures. I never got out of second and the third gear due to the hairpins but the bike performed brialliantly. The seat height is also crucial for me but at 5ft 7" I can almost flat foot it when I stop. I think it's a good workhorse with some all rounder capabilities and that's why I have one in my garage. But that new Tiger 900 is beginning to look like my next bike.

@RideOnTwo 4 жыл бұрын

I also bought mine for the same reason, travel with luggage and a passenger. I am surprised to hear you cant get the connectivity to work reliably. I will say when it does have a hiccup and will not connect it can be a nightmare to figure it out. After so many rides we eventually figured out how to get it hooked up 99% of the time. Turning our sena on just before we power on the bike seems to achive this result. The BMW connectivity app keeps getting better, so I hope you will see better results on the satnav this season. Thanks for sharing your opinion, it helps those looking for information before making a purchase. Stay safe!

Hi Roger. I do usually get 60 - 63 mpg even with the wife on the bike with me. I should add that I get that milage while taking it easy and just cruising. Around town, riding aggressive, or when traveling fully weighted and a passenger it drops. I averaged about 54 mpg on our trip to Niagara Falls last October. Thanks for watching!

@RideOnTwo 4 жыл бұрын

Hi chazzec thank you so much for stopping by and watching. The tank bag is the Oxford S20R Adventure. It is a big and roomy bag but is not waterproof. That being said I did travel for 4 hours in the rain and everything in the bag was dry. The moisture seeped through to the touch but it did not flood the interior. My only complaint is that to fill up you have to loosen the strap and slide the bag over to access the gas tank. There also is no way to prevent someone from unzipping it and walking away. I love the capacity but am researching other bags to see if I am going to get a different one. Most places have this bag including Amazon. I have a link in the description to Amazon.
