The lack of access to manuals, codes and resetting the service light are big deterrents for me. Well, that and having owned an old Ducati in the past! I'm willing to take another chance, and I'm handy, but Ducati really doesn't want owners to touch those bikes and it's hard for me to accept. It better not break down ever, but how likely is that. BTW, Desmo valve service isn't that much more difficult than on conventional motors or Japanese bikes.
@idratherberiding34568 сағат бұрын
Someone posted here that we can buy a code reader for the Ducati, it's in the $300 level. So, not too bad. Yes, I keep hearing the desmo valve service is not too bad. I'll think about it.

I would have rather they shed weight down to the 550-560 range which would have been in line with what they did with the GS.Instead it's 2 lbs heavier at 593 lbs. Looks more road friendly with more front protections, but less off-road friendly.

I agree. With the modular design for bags around the tank and on top of it, it seems it is maximized for travel. And for profits for BMW.

I was so looking forward to the new GSA because of the ASA, and thought I was finally going to be able to own my dream bike, a BMW GSA! But when I first saw the monstrosity, there was no way in hades, I would buy one. Now that the shock is wearing off, I’m getting used to the new look and starting to like it. Might seriously consider it now, if not, I’ll just get me a regular GS with ADA! Ride safe, subscribed!

Every one talks about the looks and every one forgets how expensive this bikes has become, to summarize, BMW makes them more and more ugly and expensive, the Chinese start to make them more and more pretty and cheaper, so, like in cars, we already know who will dominate the motorcycle industry down the road.

Funny how my initial reaction, to the new 1300gsa was no, no, no!! Never, never, never!! But, I must confess it is beginning to grow on me. I will never buy one because, I will ever travel so far as to need such a heavy bike. I might buy the standard, with the automated clutch. That needs to be seen, because being able to feather clutch will be lost.

@tonyciriello6872Күн бұрын
Yes! A shift lever on an auto- box. A must have in my opinion. If you have been riding for a lifetime, it makes the transition from a standard clutch/shift more natural. Also, keep the clutch lever and keep it as normal. "fanning" the clutch is something that that you don't need until you do. (like four wheel drive on a sedan) Looking forward to your full review. I hope they have the suspension lowering sorted out for us normal height people.
@idratherberiding3456Күн бұрын
Thank you and yes, the lowering suspension thing is something important for me. Although the 1300GS I test rode did not have it, it had a lower or medium height seat, and it worked well for me with my 30 in inseam. But on a GSA, it will probably be needed for me.
