I had a 2010 GSA and got a used 2017 in 2018. The day I rode with you guys on your Tigers(the day you got a wrench in your tire) I was impressed with the tigers but knew the GSA was better for me. They ride smaller then they are, they have fantastic riding settings(the newer ones adjust many things about the bike when you set them to enduro, including throttle response) . The steepest and rockiest of those roads were about as bad as I would want to go but I have done many gravel roads two up as well. I am also 6'5" so it feels made for me. Enjoy your beemer.
The Tiger is a great bike, but it likes to be riden faster off road. It's the really slow stuff that seems to be tough on it. Glad you like the beemer!
Just subbed, looking forward to the Beemer stories. I have been tossing a few Adv bikes around, mainly the Gs1250/1300, Africa Twin and the new Ducati V2. Love the shaft that was on my Tiger 1200 and Tenere but we shall see.
If you travel long distances the shaft drive is very nice. It's very smooth on the r1200gsa, no real shaft jack like I have felt on other bikes. Thanks for the sub. Check out my videos in Moab. All done on the r1200gsa.

I made the switch as well. The BMW feels like a much smaller bike. Easy to handle and ride. I’m sold. BTW, I’ve never taken my to a coffee shop. 😅
Lol, coffee fuels my adventures! It's important to have a bike that looks good at the coffee shop too.

@TimsMotorcycleAdventures I love Moab! Just saw them so will watch them tomorrow. Was there in 2016 and would love to go back. Planning BC for 2025!
