Nice review thank you. I've had the GSA 1250 since January 2019 (my 3rd GS since 2013). Great bike. Just ordered today the same model, just 5.5 years younger and 0 km's. Looking forward to riding another 5 years with the new one with a 3 year warranty in Switzerland.

Hi , will it also suitable for KTM Duke 390 2022 model , because i have check the racetrox website , they dont have an option for duke 390 and I have checked with them Racetorx , they also said that dont have tested this on 390 duke ?

Cool art work on the street!

If you eat chicken vindaloo the night before, expect big mess!

I subbed 🎉

I had the 2020 version was good fun , bought an R 1250R which is awesome but I’m going back to the 9 xr for easier living and better ergonomics for me

I’ve had my panniers for 10 years, they’re still immaculate and they’re now on my current GSA (identical to yours). I like the panniers, they’re easy to use because they are top loading and if you ever change the bike you’ll never be stuck with the panniers, they sell very easy and hold their value well. Soft luggage looks good when new, but on tour when it’s pissing it down and they’re soaked and covered in road grime, faffing around with wet buckles and straps isn’t for me. Just my findings.

Lo-mo!! Bought myself a pair too a few weeks ago for my 750gs. I think they're called Lomo due to them being a Glasgow based company and Loch Lomond being along the road from them. I could be wrong but that's my thought. I'm just about to try them out properly in a couple of nights. I'm looking at a cheap top box next 😉

CBT not a test , its not a test

You failed to cover the number plate earlier on in the video.

Looks like this project could do with a sponsorship from WD40!

Yo….u like breathing so hard just talking…..maybe check with ur doctor my friend….

Helmet first but airbag vest is the most important. Why can the inventors just invent a level 10 armour instead of a pathetic level 2? But im after casual urban style cause I have errands and job to go to on the bike.

I just bought an MT10 2024, a few weeks back. I was at the grocery store, tried to put the key in, it fell.... Not on the ground, somehow it tucked itself inside the front gas tank grill to the right (seated), STRANGE, and that feat was not easy. We took a coffee stirrer wrapped in tape, could'nt get it out. Fortunately, I mentioned I lived a mile away and have the other key at home, the manager told another guy to take care of me. Fry's Food store in Phoenix. I now always approach the key in from the front, not while seated, the clutch cable is annoying in the way, key is long, and I only owned the bike for 50 miles at the time, for perspective. Otherwise, it is an outstanding bike, I am over 200 miles, have some accessories ready to install at 600 mile 1st service. My bike, I call her Tron, with all of the teal and glow, yep. I guess I will see that extra key back at my first service. Also, the rear seat, you need to use the key opened to lock her in, you can't just shove it down. I say rear seat lol, the whole seat

love this Mike ❤❤

You’re exactly right. Attempting to get that key in and out is icing on the cake for this piece of trash bike. Yamaha bring back the VMax!!! If Ducati can figure out how to sell the V-4, in many forms in Europe, so can you. If in fact, that’s why you discontinued the VMax.

Always a good feeling to restore an old bike. I went from a 125 to a new GSXR 750 as my first big bike a number of moons ago.

Great project bike. I had one of these years ago and it definitely separates the men from the boys.

M9rr or rosso4?

O.K if your a city dude tank way too small for bushies (Australia). like myself.

I’ve picked mine up a week ago, can’t ride it yet because it still has to be imported. But during the test ride and the ride to the inspection station just absolutely loved.

thats not bad fuel consumption by any means considering its a 1000 beast that beats supercars

BMW lost me when you mentioned the vibes. I test-rode an S1000RR probably ten years ago, and although I felt like an absolute king on it, I was: i. surprised by the bar vibes, and: ii. knackered because-of it. For me, if there's one reason to choose a 4-cylinder bike over a twin, it's to ride something that'll be smoother when you're just pootling along. I appreciate that it's essentially a racing engine here, but I'd have thought BM could have refined it by now given that most of their bikes with this engine will be ridden on the road. By the way, I'm not touring or doing any long distances, and I only tend to go riding for an hour-or-so, but still, I want to enjoy the experience and not feel apprehensive about even going out because the bike is too much hassle (like the 'snarling dog' Superduke R that I subsequently tried definitely was). I wonder how I'd find an R1250 R instead...?

Its a scooter mate

Would you recommend as first begginer bike ?

These are my fun rds... but certainly not at that time of the day. Nice and early 👌

I have owned a 2017 Yamaha MT-10 for a few years now and have almost 10,000k's on it and I love almost everything about it. Things I don't like- The fuel usage really isn't that bad but is a concern when going on long rides, the seat is absolutely garbage and needs to be thrown in bin and buy an aftermarket seat asap, the stock exhausts is garbage, the Fluro rims get dirty really fast, the stock mirrors are ugly, the rear tail number plate thing is disgusting and the bike desperately needs a tune because the standard Yamaha fuel map is horrible but apart from that and a fair few dollars spent on after market stuff the bike is an absolute sexy beast with lots of power and sounds insane with a good straight pipe exhaust.

The lights on this thing are as ugly as sin!

In the states I'm going with 2 wheel Dyno Works. Simply the premiere source. 2020 MT 10.

I found the engine performance a bit lily livered but perhaps I was in rain mode.

And I now own one ❤

Now you need the wireless charger/phone holder that clips onto where the bmw navigation goes from aliexpress also. £25

I remember my first trackday some 30+ years ago. I made a lot of mistakes such as braking too hard into the turns and then going so slow through the turn, opening the throttle while still pulling the bike into the turn, not turning the bike fast enough, but for the most part I figured those things out by the end of the day and was much much faster and smooth. Even my teenage self realized that just being very smooth made the bike feel in control regardless of speed. I then bought the videos and books of Keith Code's "a twist of the wrist". That really helped me but I'm not sure if it would have helped much BEFORE the first trackday. My biggest recommendation for a first trackday is just avoid being around other riders. If someone is faster than you then you're tempted to go into the turns faster, and if someone is slower then you're tempted to pass them with a bit of risk. Instead, just avoid other riders, and then take a couple of trackdays figuring out the track and the "physics" of it all. You cannot just take a single trackday...these things like a night of sleep for your brain to process. So stack up those trackdays regardless of cost.

i agreed with the fuel gauge... even mt03 have a nice fuel gauge...

B.L.Mike, would you rather have this bike or the ducati streetfighter as your everyday bike?

Track days are great if you have ago not ride around like a fairy-tale

Nothing special looks ok but there's much more not even a tidy screen on it you must be slow.

UK riders nod because its the right hand side and you dont want to take hand off throttle. In EU they are on the left so you can easily peace sign and still throttle.

Chichester :)

Y buy s23but i alwais use the m9rr..We will see the result.

Also decat has nothing to do with the 'jerkyness'. It is all about the fueling

You who understand, which one better? rosso IV or M9 Rr, for use more on the road rather than on the track. what is diference between then? Thank you!

I'm currently getting my license and from reviews, I'm lookiing at the BMW 900 XR, Suzuki 800DE, but also the KTM 890 Adventure. You mentioned you are coming from a KTM. Do you have any insight to share? :)

I bought my dream bike brand new in sept 22 shes a 72plate r1250gs adventure rallye te with gold wheels fully loaded

Excellent video, thank you for all the great info and inspiration. Stay safe my friend.

1st track day but it won’t be your last. I found I was faster on the loan bike than my own as I didn’t want to crash mine. Also I’ve had 2 Aprilias and I wouldn’t have another, fantastic to ride bikes but so unreliable. Currently looking for an mt10 the same as yours. 1 owner Low mileage hopefully. 🤞

Can’t wait for the track vlog, it’s definitely something I want to try , I’ve got the duke 890r and all my mates tell me it’s a must, would also definitely go in novice class for first time 👍enjoy

I got a Ruroc and it's shit.. Wind noise is unreal and the fit is shit too. Soon moved on to my Scorpion Exo r1. Much better.

It has way less acceleration down low. It is less exciting than the sfv4s. But it is a great bike. Easier de live with. I changed the sfv4s by the s1000rr new generation. I really love it. Even if it is not as fast
