New BMW R 1300 RS - Should I Buy One?
My dream Guzzi.
It was fun to ride. Thanks for checking out the video.
Thanks for the tour. I'll have to give those roads a look. Been riding some of the back roads between Manor and Bastrop. Bastrop State park and the adjoining Buescher State park are a fun ride.
I road Bastrop park once but it was back when they were repairing from the fire. The road wasn’t fully accessible straight. You had to turn around and go back. Really need to get out there again. Hitting up the vintage motorcycle rally out in Fredericksburg this weekend. Should be nice.
What a beautiful bike! 🔥
It really is!
Great times & a great video !
Yes was a good time. Thank you for checking out the video and commenting. Appreciate it.
Great vid. Thanks for joining us.
always a good time, great vibe
Excellent video! Thanks for doing this video on this bike because I did not know that it existed. And I like to know what is out even if I am not interested in the bike, I just like to know. Would you consider test riding the bike? And for the price did it seem like it had quality components? Thanks
Unfortunately I’m accustom to loads of torque, so it would be hard for me to choose any bike that didn’t have 100 or more lbs ft of torque. With that said, I feel it was an excellent bike for the price. I would like to test ride it. Perhaps I can make that happen in the future.
@@Texas2Tires Thanks
Thanks for coming by!!!
Looking forward to more visits 😎✌️
Great video. Really good work with the drone footage and editing!
Thanks a ton! For me, that takes quite some time.
I have no issues purchasing from ridenow, as if you done your homework, you can see through bs surcharges and ask them to remove it if they try to do any funny business. However I would not trust their service department. Heard bad things about them joyriding and crashing people’s bikes, and them claiming gaslighting they fixed a bike when its clear they did not. Harder to cockblock the backend service department. Go to milestone or some other trustworthy mechanics
Is it time for an update? well, I don't know what would be better than my RS, so I too will wait until the 1300 is available.
I’m not in a rush I love my RS.
Very nice! So smoke is normal for a bike with your miles? How many miles now? Also, are you starting to get the new bike itch?
Seems it was just condensation build up because it hasn’t smoked again since. My bike has 30k miles on it. I’m thinking about potentially getting a 2026 RS with the new 1300cc motor and cool new gearbox.
@Texas2Tires Thanks! 2026 and not 2025? Also, you would stay with the RS model? Good job!
@Texas2Tires what changes are being made to the 2025 RS? I have seen different things on it. First it still has the same engine but different gear box. What have you heard?
I enjoy your vids, keep em coming. You meet a lot of interesting people on 2 tires. That really helps connect the community. See you down the road.
Thanks for checking out the video and for your kudos. I'm so glad to hear you like the vids. Connecting people is something I really enjoy doing, so if these videos are promoting connection that's awesome.
Thanks for coming and posting this!
I'm definitely glad I went. Traveling a bit further south allowed me to meet some new friends. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Fun Trip Plan... It's on my list :)
You should. It’s really a nice ride. Did you watch Part 2 of this?
I ended up taking my bar risers off. If you’d like to try them some time let me know.
So you like the riding position better or just the looks of the bike without the risers?
@@Texas2Tires I don’t really mind the look, as it’s not that drastic. It may just be me , but I feel they change the cornering dynamics for the worse.
@@jkuroski interesting, I wonder if there’s something to that, certainly seems plausible
Can't wait to see Part 2!!!
It’s uploading now should be ready in an hour or so. Thanks for watching.
Excellent video! And what a pleasant surprise. I will be interested to know how your Sargent seat felt for this ride. Also, I am going to go back and look at that video plus your bags as well. I like looking at your bike you have it dialed in. Looking forward to Part II. Thanks
Thanks for checking out the video part two is almost done should be out tonight or tomorrow lunchtime. So happy to hear you like the video . The sergeant seat worked perfect it’s just the bars without the risers are a little bit leaned over for me and after a while my back hurts. Getting old sucks haha. 😂
Excellent and surprising video! I forgot about the James Bond bike! It was considered odd looking at the time but very unique. Good food there? What did you eat and what do you think about those bikes?
Glad you enjoyed it! I didn’t eat anything. I went home to eat dinner. The R1200C is definitely odd looking, but really rare around here and unique.
@@Texas2Tires Thanks!
Which mounts did he order with the bags? There doesn’t seem to be any for the M1000XR.
SW Motech blaze saddle bags come with the mounts. You can call them and they’ll help you order the right items. I have them on my BMW R1250RS
The breakfast there is the best ! Great video man, great to know some details of how the house was moved from Round Rock
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent and surprising video! That was one of my favorite scary movies! I did not know about this restaurant and how it was moved. Do you think you will attend the event on October 25th. Thanks
Thanks for checking out the video. Unfortunately I doubt I’ll have time to attend that event.
Thanks for doing this video for us. VERY HELPFUL!
Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful!
Tony - I have a MIVV slip on on my F900XR, and it is LOUD without the baffle. I have done 800+mile days on my XR in a day on the factory Puig touring windshield works for me at 5’10”. Enjoy!!
Thanks for the information. I’ll make sure Tony sees it.
Thank you so much! You read my mind, that’s the exhaust I installed a week after the video, once I removed the DB it sounds amazing! Thank you so much for the rec 👏
@@antony1384 Can't wait to hear it in person.......BRRRRRUM BRRRRRUM 😁👍
@@Texas2Tires absolutely, the bikes is ready with the upgrades that I was looking for
Excellent interview! I am glad that you did an extensive interview with the RS owner. I am surprised that he said that he liked the bike but when asked about whether keeping it he seemed ambivalent and like he did not get the bike that he wanted. Also, he is thinking about going back to the stock position with the handlebars. The 2024 RS is similar to the previous Rs's but with the SOS system correct? I wonder what will they do with the 2025 RS? I was surprised to hear you would consider the 1300 GS so I will stay tuned to see what you do. I recall you did a video on the cylinder guards and you opted for a non BMW guard, do you still feel good about that decision? The white RS looked good and I have seen one in person before but I like the black one like the one you have. BTW how warm was it in Texas that night and did you enjoy the burger? I have never had a burger their either. Final note, do you think that you would consider bar risers like he had on his bike? Also, I wonder if he would have selected the tubular bars. Thanks great job!
I believe he is just keeping his options open. I have a few friends that enjoy changing their bikes every 6-12 months. As for the bar risers, I think like me he likes the sporty look of the RS and would rather have the bars in their stock position, but comfort is a factor. I did not say I would consider the 1300 GS. I would never buy a GS. I don't plan on going off road and I don't care for the looks of it. What I am considering is the 1300 RS and the new ASA clutchless system. I've received quite a bit of feed back from friends overseas on how amazing the ASA is. I love the styling of my engine guards very happy I went with those. It was around 90 degrees, the burger was good and no bar risers for me. Thanks for watching!
@Texas2Tires Thanks for responding! Sorry I guess I misunderstood when I heard 1300 I thought you were referring to the GS. It makes sense. And great job!
Your videos are always awesome, you do a phenomenal job interviewing people. That’s definitely a skill most people don’t have. I recommend your Chanel to friends and I’m hoping you get more followers. Your Chanel is excellent and very well thought out. I contacted you previously about your rs and trading my California gs for an rs. I did just that and absolutely love the rs. Being 6’2 I did the same thing with the bars as the person you interviewed and it helped me substantially. Looking forward to your future videos and keep up the great work. Duane Carlson
Hi I have a RS and got mine with tubular bars and it is comfortable and handles well. Did you consider that as an option? Thanks
Thank you for checking out the video and very glad to hear you are happy with your RS. Appreciate your comments.
Nice feedback from a new owner. The MachineArt X heads will protect his cylinder heads, they look way better than engine bars and if you do drop your bike you can buy just the side you need and they cost less than the engine bars. What's not to like? Dynamic pro just allows you to set the 3 aspects of the ride mode to what you want, it's not Dynamic mode on steroids. So you can set the Throttle, DCT and ABS to suit your style rather than have to accept the stock setting in Rain, Road or Dynamic👍it's a pick an mix selection if that makes sense and in it's stock setting Dynamic Pro is exactly the same as Dynamic.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your insights, appreciate it.
I ride a gen 3 fjr with the stock screen but have also added the mini screen on top . I’m always adjusting it depending on the weather and the speed I’m travelling and like most farkles if you’ve never had it you don’t miss it , I’d find it a real drag now not having that little convenience
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting. Agree I used to take mine off when I wasn’t moto-vlogging, but I now leave it on full time. Also my blaze saddle bags were only on for a trip I had out to the twisted sisters. The plan was to remove them when I got home, but they’re so convenient and they look great I ended up leaving them on. Now I can pick stuff up at the store or bring things with me like all my camera gear.
You just have to forget any preconceptions and ideas on what you will experience with the ASA in auto or manual mode. At first at 1 - 2 mph in tight stood on foot pegs turns you think you'll need to feather the clutch, but you don't😮😮😮
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the new ASA. I can’t wait to have a go on it.
How much weight did you shave off?
Unfortunately not quite sure, but the CAT has some heft to it. I’m guessing I lost about 3-5 lbs ???
Excellent video! The yamaha bike, how many HP? The Garmin on the BMW is that a BMW Garmin or he after market that he needed to integrate into the bike? Is BMW behind the Garmin GPS? Would you consider this BMW bike or Yamaha? Thanks
119
Hp is somewhere between 105 and 115 depending on what source you use. Yamaha‘s website doesn’t seem to show horsepower or torque numbers. He has the BMW Garmin. I like almost all bikes. However that doesn’t mean I’d buy them all. Personally I wouldn’t buy either bike. But I do like the styling of the Yamaha.
I was going to go for the Mandello S, but at the last minute bought the new R12 ninet🤣. It lacks the protection but is more flickable and more torquey on back roads. I loved my demo of the Mandello and is definitely the best bike I've ridden on motorways, better than my old GS1250 in terms of feeling and fun factor.
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your insights. BMW’s boxer is a great engine and full of torque and torque is fun 🤩 Congratulations on the new bike safe journeys.
@@Texas2Tires thanks, take care and ride safe!
Jeez, Tony the Tank!
He likes to throw the iron around
Felicidades Pepe y bendiciones
Thank you
Superb install video. Best I’ve seen. Thank you.
Thank you for checking out the video and I appreciate your praise. I pretty much use that tank bag every day I really love it and the color scheme matches my bike perfectly great quality for a reasonable price.
Two excellent bikes
Agreed, Not a bad bike in our bunch.
Thanks for the video -pretty good job . I have a GSA, but I was looking for where the ECU connect was, and boom, the RS And GSA are close. So on to the next farkel for me baby. Thanks
Glad I could help. Thanks for checking out the video
When you suggest more horsepower you fail to acknowledge that for driving on American highways, even you exceed speed limit a bit, you have all the HP you need.
I’m a proponent of more torque. In my opinion torque is more important and more fun than high hp when it comes to real world street riding.
I was on the road this summer (1300 miles from home) when a small pebble punctured my radiator. A grill for your radiator is highly advisable.
Thanks for checking out the video. Excellent suggestion, and great reminder. A friend also has an RS and mentioned that to me a while back, but life got in the way, memory problems etc and here we are still no radiator protection. I’ll get on that soon.
I just recently purchased a 2024 R 1250 RS. I am located in Round Rock, so maybe we can meet up sometime. I just finished my 624 break in service and I was, how do I say, hoping for more. Why does it feel like the engine is going to explode at 6K when the bike redlines way higher. Thinking the exhaust and Bren tune would make me allot happier. I haven’t done many mods other that removing satnav cradle and luggage frame, and installing Helibar risers.
Congrats on the new RS. Sure would be fun to meet up. You can message me on instagram @texas2tires
II bought a 2022 R1250RS from a dealer back in April. I didn't realize at the time I bought it, but my RS has the full Akrapovic headers and can ( cat delete). I'm not getting any warning lights and it seems to be running great. The thing is, I don't know if it has been tuned or not. Is there any way I can tell if a tune or re-mapping has been done? Thanks!
Thanks for checking out the channel and posting your question. If it does have a tune and you bring it in for service if they hook up the computer to the bike it will override the tune and a erase it most likely especially if there is an update to the TFT. The dealer really should know if there is a tune or not when they bought the bike as a trade-in. All the signs that my bike has a tune are easy for me to understand because I have something to compare it to. For you that would be difficult. When I crack the throttle the exhaust valve pops open and the bike lurches forward. This didn’t happened before the tune. The BMW mechanic told me that happens because you have a tune.
@@Texas2Tires Thanks for your prompt response! I have access to a Hex GS-911 OBD2 scan tool. Do you think it could tell me something about the status of the ECU if it was flashed or not?
se ven geniales las maletas y estas usando el anclaje original de moto o lo tuviste que cambias ??
No I’m not using the luggage mounts that came with the motorcycle. The SW Motech Blaze saddle bags come with their own mounts.
I’ve got a 21 plate Dct love it the exhaust side of the twin is a lovely looking bike 24 model is my next one 👍🏴
Nice 👍
41 so far, feel like still far from limits as I havent scrapped the pegs. This bike gives so much confidence!
Unfortunately the streets aren’t clean like a track. I’ve had friends hit unexpected sand / gravel in turns and low side. Doesn’t take much to wash out a front tire. Sand, gravel, oil etc. Safe journeys!
Excellent video! Also quick question, do the bags scrape up against your paint/bike on the opposite side? It seems like it would rub up against it, particularly while riding.
Yes they touch the paint. However SW Motech provides clear stickers to place on the bike so that the bags don’t damage the paint. I think I showed this during the installation video. ua-cam.com/video/2t283Kx9Bnw/v-deo.htmlsi=1iT5RznVYegq8ogy

Temps are calming down. Supposed to be rainy this week. Went for a short ride yesterday to the local BMW dealer. it was 99° at least it wasn’t triple digits. Today is 91.
Very useful!
Thanks for stopping by the channel glad to hear the video was useful.
I was looking at those blaze bags, Do they sit at a sloped angle?
Thanks for the question. I chose to answer your question with a video. Here's the link to your answer: ua-cam.com/video/tV0PFvjp4hQ/v-deo.htmlsi=u4vd5stnFdVXvwbc
Thanks for the video! The video captured a very nice looking old school Ducati I am trying to figure out what it is. If you know let me know. Also, why is this business going out and did they sell motorcycles or just gear? Thanks
Thanks for watching the video. Motorangutan didn’t sell motorcycles just parts and gear. Not sure why they closed guessing competition from the bigger retailers. That older Ducati was cool. I wanted to talk to the owner but he slipped away before I could find him. However it seems to be a Ducati Sport Classic 1000 SE which were made between 2006-2009. I could be wrong, but looks pretty much the same.
@Texas2Tires Thanks! And I think you are right about that ducati. I had not seen one in a while so it caught me off guard but liked the look.
Can you post the link 🔗 where you order this helmet from !, I just return a M size i ordered through cycle trader because it was to snug so want to order a L size . But I paid $1,603.93 overall , I heard you said that you paid $1,200 total . Thanks before hand
My friend Robert bought his C5 carbon at the following German website: www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/en_US/;IC_DeliveryCountry=US;IC_IP2Location_Locale=en_US;IC_TargetCurrency=USD;SessionID=cd936ecd5227fa8052cf9c05392e155c?ObjectID=2587584&ViewAction=FacetedSearchProducts&SearchString=Schuberts+c5+carbon
