Great review thanks.

You have made an excellent video being 5 years down the track with a bike. I am four years with my 2020 KTM 790 and recently did a 6000km adventure ride from Walpole to Karratha in Western Australia. To be honest it took me 4 years to trust a bike that will take me that far into remote areas without problems. The KTM 790adventure R did that without an issue except for a small gasket leak on the thermostat housing. Must say I love the bike as you do, but does have minor issues that could be improved on.

Great Video! Been there may times on Quads, SXS while camping in the area. I never get tired of seeing the beauty of the Gulch! I used to see many long-horn mountain sheep/goats 20 years ago, but they apparently caught a sickness and are gone or very few are left?

This is one of the best, most comprehensive & informative motorcycle reviews I’ve either seen, or read, since 1973 when I started riding. (Meaning I’ve seen and read a few). That it was done in what seems to be not your first language makes it even more remarkable, and an example to others. Well done, keep it up!

Great video. I love stumbling onto videos by other people in Oregon. I have the same color scheme and year of CB500X. I do not have the Ralley Raid upgrade though. One of the things i did was swap the front sprocket out for a 16T one. It made a huge difference in the on road and highway performance. Sometimes i will be cruising at 60 mph and realize that I am still in 5th gear where before I was trying shift into 7th gear at 60 mph. If i ever do sell this bike it will be to buy one that already has the Rally Raid upgrades installed. Hope to see you on the road,

How do you care about the the chain during the trails? You surely need a lot of chain cleaner and so on..?

Great vid. Very balanced and informative. May I ask how much you ended up spending with Rally Raid?

Pure Beauty 🥰 Love it

Cb500x aint a small bike, it weights 200 kgs

Great video, I just got the exact same bike in a trade. I wasn't that excited about it honestly, but one ride is all it took for me to really fall in love with the bike. I'm a lifelong rider with multiple bikes, and I can tell you without a doubt the 800xc is a gem!

Thanks for posting, that was awesome

Luved my 22 KLR650 and was going to pick up another one, but then I saw the tiger 900's, although I'm still not sure I totally like the looks of the front end and the front rake is pretty steep. But, it is a NICE bike. So i got o looking and there are some pretty good deals on nearly new 20-22 tigers and then I noticed the tiger 800 and I think it may actually look better, especially in the red and they say it is very smooth. I know the 2018-2019 had some nice updates, but is it that much better than the gen 1 n gen 2? I have found a 14 in excellent shape n never been off road and some super nice 2015-2017's. So for the price of the klr650 or slightly more, which I only did minor off roading with anyway and really liked taking small trips, I can pick up a nice Tiger 800, so there lies my dilemma. Will have to see if I can test ride the 900's n the 800's and go from there. Thanks for the video!

This model looks the best besides the pidgeon beak at the front, the hypermotard had the same paint and lines like 6 years later 💯

I could hear it running rough

Nice video. Curious to see what you chose next.

I guess im one of the few that really likes the new design too !! Especially the huge tank and the range it provides ....Bravo BMW for thinking outside the box

Hello from VietNam Great video, very detail ❤

You did not shared the millage info of your bike which is quite important. The software is jpdiag which I dig to find it.

Brilliant video, as a perspective multistrada owner in the future im doing my research on the bike and a long term review from a 10year owner doesnt get much better. I face many of the same problems as you living a distance from main dealers that would mean at a minimum a day off of work purely to take it for a service. I service my own bikes and not scared of bigger jobs so been researching the desmo service also. From an outsider looking in, your bike looks incredibly well looked after it still looks new, if you're selling it purely because of the desmo service, I wouldn't, service and keep it. You've had it for so long that you're not gaining anything by selling it now, and you'll wish you didnt in years to come

no problem with the gear selector spring?

Very much growing on me

stupid

A 2019 KTM 790 Adventure R is still before production of all 790s was contracted out to China, right?

I purchased my 1300 GS at Cascade Moto as well. Please share that twisty road. I have not been on that one. Great video!

Ugly pig, not buying. Worse even than the standard 1300gs.

Very nice bike and a nice review on it!

Splendid bike and video. Many thanks.

Laverda SFC …des motos d’Hommes ✌️

Awesome video, especially for someone in the market. Thanks!!

Getting Paris-Dakar flashbacks 👍

The cybertruck of motorcycle we will love it with time

♥️🦾💯🔥👌

I am not sure whats wrong with me but i really like the look of this bike over the GS1300 I have never owned a BMW but rode one every day as a police bike so can attest to their strengths. This bike however has really made me think about ditching my Rocket next year and buy this bad boy

I totally agree with you. I love it as well. Can't wait for the arrival in the dealeships !!

I think the current 1250GSA is a Beauty of a bike ..the 1300GSA not as much but i am sure it will grow on people.....looking at the release photos of the GSA there are some pics with a Clutch lever so i believe the ASA is an add on not standard EQ...I hope so i dont want 2 more servo motors and electronics to mess up !

New GS design is really fucked up so ugly ever before 🤮🤮🤮🤮

You are so right, people will complain no matter what BMW tries to do.

I love it, form follows function and at last an auto. I'll be changing my 1250 GSA

Ugly wont be buying anyone of them

Its beauty is in its ugliness.

You are so absolutely right! GS was never a good looking bike, it was always form follows function. We will get used to it, and in some time we will praise the revolutionary design of the 1300 GSA!

Love the look. I know I am in the minority. It's subjective. What I don't like.......is no clutch option.....so, until they change that......the 35k+ will be spent elsewhere

1300 gs and 1300 GSA . It's an absolutely terrible design. All traces of the past have been erased. There is no alternative to the 1250 anymore.

Great Review mate I have a GSA 2017 model will I up-date!

I rather like the 1300 GSA as well. I like the big tank. It reminds me of my own 2003 GS, on those models the tank is also, let's say, present. Like you, it also reminds of the Hoske tanks. They were very expensive back then. If you had a Hoske tank on your R69S you was the guy!

You are definitely making some good points. Until we see it in person I’ll hold off on an opinion

I think the 1300gs is ok but the gsa looks like crap.

Right on. The new GSA is a much more natural evolution than the regular GS.

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.

This is taken to an extreme of ugliness and grotesque size. Maybe it will grow on me…..
