What a machine, what roads, what landscape; so jealous!

I was really excited about the R1300GS, i went to the showroom to put a down-payment, but when i saw it and sat on it, i was shocked by how tiny it was! So, i put a down-payment on the 2024 R1250GSA Triple black (yes, 2024 R1250 GSA, look it up). I am a big guy, 194cm, so i need something comfortable. Furthermore, when i saw them next to each other, the 1250 is better looking.

Congrats Alex. I myself with many adventure bike fan out there, excited to find more about R1300GS. The fact that it is more off-road biased adventure bike, it is really exciting. Unfortunately, I am taking a detour from my active off-road adventure to road now. Anyway, who knows what the future hold. I may consider to go back to off-roading 😆

The beginning segment is SO close to my experience. I though I wanted to buy back a retro bike I sold before, did about 5 test rides, each time riding home with my own bike telling myself 'why the hell would I swap' and still... I did. Sold my R1250R which was SO good and got a Kawasaki Z900RS. Amazing bike, fantastic looks but I realise it's just not what I need, want or who I am anymore. I miss the BMW and will definitely get a new one as soon as I can afford it. Might even go for a GS for more comfort.

@NULUSIOS 7 ай бұрын

This is probably the "closest" review to what I would have made myself. I would also paint that side panel - AND the protection bars. I agree with your comments and it is one of the few times people admit that the "plain" GS is more suited for off road than the Adv. Having 2 cm extra suspension is not enough by itself (and after all, you can get it for plain GS too). GSA is worse for this kind of thing. Love the new machine and even like the new lights and yes INDEED people will learn to like this one (which actually lights A LOT better too). People talking about the Popeye lights being a trademark, probably haven't studied GS history deep enough. This bike is more capable on and off road - and actually RETURNS to GS roots more than anything. They set a new benchmark - again.

@moonlight-dark 6 ай бұрын

That shift is super smooth. The GSA will obviously be impressive when it is released. My hopes for that is a much longer suspension travel as I'm vertically challenged at 5'7" and the auto lower would work in my favour.

I recently ordered an almost identical setup to yours, but with the forged wheels. And I agree with you about the side covers, I'll be putting brushed steel vinyl on mine (previously tested on 1250 and looked great). Soo good to know about the option to lower the foot pegs, I was slightly worried about the knee angle and was considering getting the higher seat.

I was going to go down to my dealership and pickup a new 2023 1250 gsa but decided to wait watching your video. For someone who has been on a gs for awhile, your opinion matters especially you buying one. Those who do reviews and dont put skin in the game (purchasing one) really dont have too much credibility..some of the videos Ive been watching on the 1300 basically sounds like salesman. If you make a good product the product will sell itself. I am now a subscriber my friend. Enjoy and be safe. I CANT WAIT FOR THE 1300 coming next year to the states....
