Well folks, sometimes an opportunity comes along that you just can't pass up. I was fortunate to be among the first Americans to get an extended ride on the all-new BMW R 1300 GS on a special tour through Spain, and all I can say is "WOW." Not only about the sights, culture and cuisine we got to experience, but about the numerous innovations and new technology on BMW's latest iteration of this iconic and genre-defining motorcycle. So, check out this video to see some of what we saw, and what we think about this new machine.
Special thanks to our friends at Motos America for the opportunity and for the amazing team at Edelweiss Bike Travel for this unforgettable trip!

In future, when you do a video, please, please, turn down the background music so we can hear what you say. Between you, the music, and the wind it becomes a bit of a "dog's breakfast", but thanks for the video anyway

Good video and great vibes, thanks Jim! What did you think of the pannier bags?

@RawHydeAdventures 7 ай бұрын

Hey there... I'm kinda liking the plastic bags for "street" and really easy off road stuff... but they wont last long if you drop the bike too many times... probably not a good idea for any hard core adventuring...

Does it have the top end rattle like 1200 LC and 1250, or have they managed to make it smooth like the oil heads on the 2023 1200 R Nine T

@obieone-mt3co 6 ай бұрын

Actually, it’s a very smooth motor. It has a completely different sound than the 1250 but not like the old oil heads either… That sounds like a political answer but it’s not. It simply sounds different.😂

Does the linked rear brake upset slow manoeuvres and u-turns? Don’t like the idea of controlling slow speed with the back brake turning and the front brake engaging……

@RawHydeAdventures 5 ай бұрын

sorry... Just saw this question... so - I gotta say that is was somehow comforting to use the rear brake with a small amount of front brake applied.. weirdly it felt quite reassuring... did'nt bother me in the slightest...

So did this tour company buy all the press fleet bikes? There is a misunderstanding on the brakes, they are not reversed, the rear brake now applies some front brake, the front brake does what it always has and applies a small amount of rear brake.

@RawHydeAdventures 7 ай бұрын

Hey... quick answers for you... No.. Edelweiss got the first delivery of new bikes... my bike had 2 km when I threw a let over it... as to the brakes? well... the tech advisor that was present to give us an overview of the bikes said things were "reversed"... thus my commentary... regardless - its nice to get a little front brake when the rear is applied... (on the street anyway)

@JoeS97756 7 ай бұрын

@@RawHydeAdventures Tech advisor needs to read the press guide or perhaps it was a language translation error on their part: The new R 1300 GS comes as standard with a twin disc brake featuring two newly developed, radially mounted four-piston fixed calipers at the front and a single disc brake with two-piston floating calliper at the rear in conjunction with BMW Motorrad Full Integral ABS Pro. Here, the handbrake lever activates the front and rear brakes simultaneously. The foot brake lever now likewise actuates the front and rear brakes at the same time.

@@JoeS97756 Yea it was not a "RawHyde" person... that was the tech advisor... it was a fellow from Germany who was at our welcome dinner... and he did a high level overview of the changes between the 1250 and the 1300... AND he did not specifically say that the front brake no longer passed any pressure through to the rear... all he said was that the rear brake had "some" activation of the front... but regardless... Thanks for sharing the info above...

I’d like to upgrade from my 1250 in a couple of years. Liking the 1300 based on what I’ve seen and read, but I’m not liking the luggage set up. It just doesn’t speak to me aesthetically the way traditional hard luggage does. Besides, I’ve always felt the Vario panniers wouldn’t hold up well in a drop, but I have no firsthand knowledge of how robust they really are. Btw, I’m fine with the new head light. 😀

@RawHydeAdventures 7 ай бұрын

Yah... I know what you mean about the vario system... but I'm sure there will be aluminum panniers in the near future... not sure if it will have the locking feature?

@simulacrae 7 ай бұрын

That's why you save your money, don't get the electrical pannier stuff or the various cases but mount a normal Touratech or other brand of rack and nut your own. Or go Rackless with soft luggage because that's what all the cool kids do. :)

There is a new BMW nav out. Early reports suggest that it needs software updates before it can be considered a decent replacement.
