In today's video I'm riding the all new BMW 1300 GS back home. It's cold it's raining but we have a lot to talk about....this is the option 719 Tramuntana version if you didn't know it already :-).

To buy a BMW 1300 GS or Not to buy?? 😃

@bobcobb7719 Ай бұрын

I’d say go for it. Places will send you all kinds of accessories for free which you can review then after a year or so you can sell it and get something else and do it all over again.

@renapon9316 Ай бұрын

Yes, buy it. But you need one with +++ power as KTM has. So if you can have both will be perfect.

@StringBanger Ай бұрын

For sponsors, content etc yes but personally no. I'm waiting a few years for them to work the bugs out of it.

Saw the 719 in person when I picked up my new K1600GTL, it's a really slick bike, the camera doesn't pickup how good that color combo really looks.

@LifeofSmokey Ай бұрын

Good choice on the 1600 😎👌

@rivencsky Ай бұрын

I rode the Ducati Pikes Peak and BWM 1300 GS back to back. I found that switching to the GS I felt disconnected from the road and the motorcycle. Surprised me as going in I was just going to scratch off the Pike Peak against the GS. Shopping for a new one now. Cheers

Set up is the most important thing on the 1300..I took one out for an hours test ride and tbh it wasn’t very impressive ..I then took my current GS in for a service and they offered it me for 4hours which I snapped their hands of ..messed around with the settings (mainly suspension) and it was a different bike , loved it

@LifeofSmokey Ай бұрын

Yep sometimes it's like riding on a cloud and a bounce house. Sometimes it's more like a racebike suspension 😁

How is the gearbox? I got mine option 719 for 4 month now 4k km on it and sometimes it shifts gears really bad and i wonder if it will last and sometimes it is shifting like ZF gearbox in mine X5 really smooth so not 100% satisfied here. The rest of the bike is 💯

@LifeofSmokey Ай бұрын

No gearbox issues besides me goofing around an do miss shift here or there. Might become more smooth after some time 😊

Please review the S1000 XR or M1000 XR, and then make a comparison between the XR and 1300 GS.

@LifeofSmokey Ай бұрын

Already took the S1000XR on review ride. Waiting for the M1000XR now. I love the sound of the XR and high rpm's but for more comfort cruising I'm taking the GS 😎

You asked about the BMW sport bikes what we think, I think Bmw should stop playing with the graphics, not a fan personally. They look like the donuts nobody wanted, covered in sprinkles.

Value for money when comparing to the stelvio? (I like stelvio looks a ton more)

@LifeofSmokey Ай бұрын

Stelvio is a very nice bike , nice feeling for the money it costs. But the more horsepower and BMW suspension would do it for me 😊

I really don't understand this unnecessary criticism over something way better than the old ones. I can understand your preferences but to out right shun something based on your assumptions is really not justified. Any new product will have some teething problems the first year or so but BMW service and warranty is there for 36k miles and 3 years. I still have a 2013 BMW K1600 GTL with just as much technology minus the keyless ignition and adaptive cruise control reaching 29k miles without a hiccup. Where as I had a Kawasaki 2012 Concourse 14 which had a major seal leak at 15k miles.
