I love your reviews. Just ordered one of these.
One day I'd like to buy you a beer for your efforts.
As always excellent content and an honest review of the GS1300.. I personally love the look of this new GS❤️👍
Thanks and if you like the design, then it's great as the more acceptable choices there are that tick all the boxes, the better. Cheers!
I’m a firm advocate of the ‘the life saver’ rather than relying on a little light in the mirror!!!
Great non biased review!
Excellent review V-Told!!!
Thank you!
That's THE BOXER sound, like it or love it....I love it.
Love you'r video - Absolutely amazing quality! Got my sub ;) Can I ask you which office-chair you use?
I enjoy watching you ride around the cities. Poland looks like a great place.
Poland is a nice place, no illegal immigrants :)
a-ha!
polish accent he has
City riding can be seriously addicting.
Not really I think.
Great video as usual. The handling chapter part is enough for me to make a decision.
I'm glad you like it and that it's useful.
Excellent discussion/assessment.Thks.
My pleasure and thank you!
Your videos are becoming better and better each time you launch a new one. Good for you and good for us!
Yes, the new GS had to bring the game up a bit, as it was becoming a little old towards the direct competition and it was expected to receive a lot of novelties, mainly on the technology side that was mandatory. But BMW has done more than that. They rearranged the whole bike, so that was a big step beyond. In some aspects they went for the cliché “Less is more”, to convey with a lower age of the GS riders…They win in that department but, will they keep their more senior customers?
Only the future can tell.
I’m going to test this bike in a few days and after testing I can share my opinion. But what seems to be clear with the GS launch, is that the expectations about the new GSA are rising from an important quota of the Market, I think. I’m in that group of interested riders. If we wanted a more nimble GS we could get the 850 GS or the F 900 GS. The new teck is very welcome and the power / torque increase, but we got the sensation that, maybe BMW could be offering us a little bit more as a premium bike that the GS is, with the presence of retro illuminated buttons for instance. The up grade is effective but isn’t it falling too short?
Thanks V-Told for your interesting insight and explanation on the new BMW 1300 GS
Be well my friend 👍🏻👍🏻
Your comment is too brief 🙄
@@maldridge7630I accept the irony, but in fact, after riding the bike, what I can say or comment about it, maybe even more extent than this, for sure 😅👍🏻
I've only now got here with first seeing your take on the R 1300 GS vs R 1250 GS comparison and well, I think that this part is the key: "In some aspects they went for the cliché “Less is more”, to convey with a lower age of the GS riders…They win in that department but, will they keep their more senior customers?" I wonder about it myself and I'm guessing that after the initial excitement cools down we will see. I'd love to see that sales numbers in some time and compare them to R 1250 GS's.
Also, there's already a new F 900 GS that may mess it all up even more! I've seen and sat on one but until I ride, I'll keep my thoughts in line. Overall it may be interesting and definitely a less controversial change. All the best!
Excellent review! We're still waiting for them in Canada. We can only buy them before we can touch them, lol.
One question, when the collision sensor activates the brakes, do the brake lights come on?
Excellent review...as usual.
I'm glad you enjoyed. Cheers!
Good info keep going.. Thank you !!
I will, thanks a lot!
Brilliant review!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
Bravo ! Rarely do testers go into the ergonomics of a motorcycle at such in-depth like you did on this bike . interestingly the BMW GS was never on my radar , i was looking at the KTM GT and others up until now . This new 1300 has really got my attention , love the changes they made with this new version !
I'm glad you found the content interesting. The big GS could really stand for a segment benchmark in so many ways and also when it would come to a general, safe recommendation. It's been a bestseller for many reasons. Price not being one of them, which only enhances the importance of this line of motorcycles.
Excellent review! In depth / informative, I want to see where you place it following your round up of ADV bikes………but before then can you answer one question for me. In comparison to the Tiger GT (my current bike) how is the knee bend (I have a damaged right knee motorcycle accident years ago that’s got arthritis these days, so I am that old rider you described 🤣🤣🤣)
Thanks. This bike has had a 2 cm lower seat installed and the foot pegs appear to be noticeably higher than in a Tiger 1200 GT impacting negatively the knee angle. With a regular seat of the R 1300 GS that I've sat on for a moment, I'd still be wishing for lower foot pegs but then it's definitely closer to your Tiger. But it's harder to tell right now which one has a more relaxed knee bend. Overall, at 183 cm tall (6 feet) I feel more comfortable on the Tiger 1200. Cheers to an older rider :)!
Awesome review bro👌as usual. Please bring the review of 900gs adventure once its out. Thank you ❤
It's definitely coming once the bikes arrive at the dealerships and there's no more snow and icy roads around. Cheers!
As a 1.70m manlet that has always been a GS fanboy, I'm glad to see them take active steps towards accommodating small people like me.
Details and nice sharing!
It is a new generation, the previous one is the end as classical. My opinion more and more ADVs will design closer to luxury sporty bike, which might meet the market and most buyers what they prefer today. I’m a 03 KTM SAR owner and still love/prefer such a kind bike has extreme hardcore spirit soul and ability inside!
Best bike review 👍
Automatic lowering of the windscreen is a feature of the pre- TFT K1600. The optional NAV installs in a pop up compartment though the top of the dash and then the NAV display was visible though the face of the dash. Lowering the windscreen makes it impossible to open the NAV compartment for anti theft while parked.The screen will not lower if the NAV compartment is open.
Great video ! Actually, I had opportunity to ride it for 30 minutes and I can agree with everything you said. So, mine is arriving in December 😂
Mine in March 😬
I want to order one...not available yet to order in California. 😢
Nice review, thank you a lot. And thank you for remembering me the views of Warsaw in which I have worked for more than 10 years!!!
Good one, I like it :)
237kg is light ,but most haven't taken a few things into account, additional options that most will spec, which will add more weight.
The 237kg is measured with cast alloys, no crash protection, and it will add addional weight for most other options. You can add at least 7 kg for crash bars, which most will want on the bike. I read a post on one of the FB groups, 1300GS owner, after taking delivery of his 1300GS TE with around £2k addional options. Spoked wheels, etc, added full crash protection. Pannier racks, electric screen, height adjustment, heated seats. bike is coming in at 246kg.
Good point, especially that stuff like radars, center stand etc. may add weight while being already included in optional extras packs with a few items being thrown in together.
@@VToldsMotoShow Crash bars and and spoked aren't included in any pack. Easily another 12-15kg to be added on.
I had 1250 gs. All was good exept sound, I couldn't bear it.
love your accent❤
You forgot to mention that the centre stand is not standard equipment anymore, which is part of the weight savings over the previous model. So if you want that you need to add the weight of the stand back to the package. The bigger issue is the cost of a basic tumble on the dirt with the new indicator in the hand guard and the proximity indicator in the mirror. I feel that these not so off road friendly changes will make a fall much more expensive. Prospective dirt travellers will probably have to invest yet more money in aftermarket hand guards and mirrors.
You can choose not to have the blindspot mirrors, just like you can choose to have normal handguards and separate indicators 👍🏼
One may always leave these options, not pay for them and have to repair fewer elements. Or just get a dirt bike.
I love the plushness of my 1250 in Road mode, it just absorbs bumps without you getting beat up. Would you has the 1300 is just as plush in Road mode?
I believe it's close while the overall experience of sitting on the 1300 leaves a harsher impression to me. I'm explaining more here: ua-cam.com/video/Pzm6iiMAstY/v-deo.html
9:12... those two women... What they are thinking of? :)
F...g suicidal in general. I chased the second one and she was totally clueless. No bad intentions on her side which makes it even worse! It used to be a fantastic place to ride and now I genuinely prefer to jump into my 2+ tonne car and just not give a crap about these kinds of freaks. Statistically it was impossible for two of them to be in the same spot at the same time... :)
I’m 6’2” and nothing, repeat nothing is more comfortable than my 2005 GS 1150 Adventure. I rode in non stop from Perth to Sydney via Adelaide in 6 1/2 days total 4,600km and I could have ridden it all the way back. I have tried to replace it with 2011 GSA1200 but no - sold it. Tried yamaha tenere - sold it …
I think the screen auto lowers when you shut off because that front radar is even more ugly with the screen up. So do the aux lights come back on each time you start or do you have to activate them each time?
It all seems like a combined and standard procedure. I'm not sure about the reasons. I've heard one explanation but it's not official so still unknown.
BMW is having a Bud Light moment.
Hahaha, this destroyed me :D. They like to go that way changing their logo to one consisting of rainbow colors once in a while.
I notice the fasteners holding the end caps of the akrapovic exhaust are screw heads, and idea if there’s a chance to remove or modify the silencers in there to give her more throat?
I personally wouldn't go for any Akrapovic exhaust as they tend to sound pretty much like stock and only may improve the design and weight. However, if they're street-legal then maybe it makes some sense in comparison with the ones that aren't exactly legal. But only then they sound like they should, so it's a tough one.
Still no one talking about the decision to put the front indicators inside the hand protectors. You know, the first thing to hit something if you fall over or smash into stuff taking off-road? I've seen some pictures where the indicators are on the side of the windscreen so it's probably a part of some package, but just the thought of putting electronics there is very alien. I would think thy are not cheap to replace.
The Rallye version has indicators on the side.
just don't take this bike off road. A crf 300 is good for that.
These are optional things and you may keep a regular windscreen along with indicators.
nice thank you
As always you are fantastic, different and honest my friend. Bravo. Any chance in the near future would you test ride r1250rs? Best 🙏🏻
Thanks a lot and I'm glad that you see it this way. I've had a rented R 1200 RS for some time in the past but it turned out to confuse me about its character so I don't think I'll be heading in that direction. Too sporty and hence demanding sitting position for me. All the best!
Looking forward to your review of Moto Guzzi Stelvio, which I think may take some part from GS's cake
Oh yes, I'm looking forward to it very, very much too! It's the #1 on my to-try list now.
Excellent video. Thank you Jesus
KTM & Ducati certainly are competitive... until you start looking at reliability and dealership experience. I made the very costly mistake of buying a 2023 S1000XR and realizing that I don't enjoy the howl of a beautiful inline 4 any longer. Just traded it in for a 2024 R1300GS Option 719. Yes, it sounds like a tractor at idle, and yes, the quick-shifter isn't even in the same league at the XR. However, the low-end grunt of the 1300 around town and the smoothness cruising at 80mph sold me. Also, the lower CG of the GS makes it feel lighter than the XR at lower speeds. I used two different BMW dealers in the States. Excellent experience at both!
I have a f750gs which I still like but cant help but lust over the 1250gs. If I was to upgrade, would you recommend 1250 or 1300. Mostly road driving, and I stand at 5'8, 160lbs, 30 ins.
If you get good price go for 1250, if not go for 1300
I'm afraid of this question. I'd recommend the 1300 but it's mostly the influence of it simply being new and "upgraded" GS. But putting ego aside, I'd be more eager to jump on a 1250 and ride it instead of the 1300. But right now with a new model, the 1300 should obviously be a smarter choice in terms of keeping its value, appeal etc. It's also appearing as more approachable which I feel may be beneficial.
Good city review. Heavy traffic reviews ,lots of cars and traffic lights. Maybe next time you can take the bike on some really curve roads. Outside the city. That will be a review i'd like to watch...
For that there are already brand’s B-Roll videos from the press pack.
So is this better than multistrada v4s
Your pockets are deep enough to pay for repairs (every Tuesday and Friday)and parts (whenever they exist)??? Beautiful colors..
Before the 1300, I told myself my heart wanted an XR, but my brain wanted a GS. Buying a 1250 would’ve been purely a logical choice for me with absolutely no passion or excitement towards it. This new model however, while I still think the XR looks better as a sporty and modern touring option, adds some much needed allure for me, particularly in the Trophy spec and Akro exhaust. I almost never go off-road but that color scheme and double end pipe is just too cool.
Have BMW succeeded in breading the appeal of the GS? Some will prefer the looks of the old GS, but this mid-thirties guy is now considering the GS as a future purchase. I’m no twenty something, but I’m also not your typical mid-life crises dad customer so I’d say ya, BMW succeeded. Can I afford a GS? Well now, that’s a different story. Time to start saving my loose change 😅
Nicely written. This new R 1300 GS seems like a blend of R 1250 GS and S 1000 XR to me. Isn't is an R 1300 XR then?
@@VToldsMotoShowTo be honest, I kind of wonder the relevance of the XR moving forward. In the past there was that distinct difference between outright sport touring, and the more comfortable, more leisurely version of touring. With the 1300, the added power, more svelte and sporty styling, and firmer, sportier suspension, I’m really having trouble justifying the XR now, other than purely aesthetics.
I suspect in real world testing/speeds, the new GS should also feel faster too with that glorious torque, so again I ask myself, what is the point of the XR? Maybe BMW drops the standard XR and keeps the new M model and goes hard on the sporting ethos?
I am 5 feet 7, and it looks a little bit too big for me, but I am really into it
Excellent video… many thanks. Obviously, BMW has done things right and even more obviously there will never be 1 bike for all people and all occasions 😅
It's my pleasure and I feel that this is a right conclusion indeed.
Is the muffler on the exhaust? It sounds way better than i have experienced on my testride. The Sound is poor at all 😢
It's a factory-fitted optional exhaust on this one.
Great looking bike
Hey, don't encourage BMW too much ;)
Genial que suerte poder probar todas esas motos..saludos cordiales desde Patagonia Chile..
Pedro Pascal is from Chile too I believe!
The new GS is actually a nice looking bike especially from the side.
From the side it looks the most like a big GS which I agree is the best perspective to look at it from.
love it but I will be keeping my 1600 b
Love this bike. My concern would be if the foot peg to seat height is too short. I'm 6'2" with a 32" inseam. I'm longer torso than longer leg. Bike fit is difficult for me. Anyone out there with similar measurements riding this bike? What say you?
I’m in the same situation but my legs are longer
34” here
6'1", 33" inseam and the standard seat height works fine. I would get the tall seat option though! You have that option
The most irritating thing is they once again failed to integrate Navigation into the main display. WTF?
they did not. navi can be played through bluetooth from the phone
Hey. Are You Polish? Is it recorded in Warsaw? Perfect english. Szacun😉. I feel jealous because of Your bike. It is my biggest dream to have GS but it's too expensive for average Polish. Greetings from Cracow.
Yes, I am. But it’s just a press bike thanks to BMW’s kindness. Overall it’s brilliant but I’d be happier with the previous one, so no worries… because you know, the older one is cheaper ;)
@@VToldsMotoShow Hehe,. Spoko, że tak mówisz ale nawet ten poprzedni model jest nieco ponadprzeciętny, jeśli chodzi o cenę. Wiem. Wart każdej złotówki, wspaniały motocykl ale jednak cena boli. Nawet jeśli to egzemplarz dla prasy to i tak zazdroszczę(zazdrość to nie to samo co zawiść. Zazdrość w rozumieniu "chcę dorównać"). Fajną masz pasję i cieszę się, że trafiłem na twój kanał bo jest to wszystko dobrze nagrane. dobrze zmontowane i dobrze skomentowane. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
First like and then watch... let's see what is it
Risky move!
It suits you, buy it 👍
I'm not convinced. Will wait for an Adventure ;)
18.5k and still no illuminated switch gear.
That's my man out there! Maybe it will come with a midlife cycle update.
Hopefully BMW heard your constructive critisisms and will improve the standard features and design the next few years. Lack of dedicated separate rear brake light is not acceptable. So many important features are optional while the price has stayed the same. The total price properly equipped will certainly be much higher than previous design. BMWs new pricing strategy will annoy many loyal customers.
Cześć!
Gs 1300 jak się ma do ktm super adventure 1290 s?
Pytam ponieważ testowałeś ktm mam ponad 2m wzrostu więc 1300 gs za mały i różnica w cenie jest znaczaca na korzysc ktm. Bestia ktm daje wuecej emocji. Proszę o Twoją opinię.
Pozdrawiam łapa leci👍
masz odpowiedz prosta- skoro jest za maly gs, kup ktm, skoro moc Cie podnieca kup ktm - reszta wszystko na kozysc bmw ... bez gadania, Ja mam akurat gsa z 2015lc i nie zamierzam go sprzedawac nigdy - tym sie tak jezdzi jak zadnym innym moto adv -poprostu rewelacja. Ps jest porownanie gdzies na torze ktm 1290 vs bmw1250 i roznice sa minimalne na kozysc ktm a jazda naormalna to nie tor-race wiec uwiez mi bezproblemu nadazysz za 1290 jadac na balkany ..... Pozdr
@@krytek79Cześć!
Jeździłem gs adventure 1250 trzy razy brałem go na testy i nawet jak bym był standardowego wzrostu i tak mi nie podszedł. Objeździłem wszystkie Duże turystyczne enduro i tylko kat utkwil mi w głowie. W jednym z filmów vitold jest komentarz goscia, który miał 7 gs i raz przejechał się ktm super adventure 1290 s. Mówił, że już nie wróci do gs. Każdy z nas ma inne preferencje, emocje i oczekiwania od motocykla mi akurat bmw nie podeszło. Warto czasem pojeździć różnymi motocyklami i nie zamykać się tylko na jedną markę. Posiadam ATAS 1000 DCT i myślałem, że to mój wymarzony motocykl ale okazało się że nie. Idę dalej do przodu chcę mocnego motocykla to nie znaczy, że nie wrócę do za jakiś czas do mniejszej pojemności.
Pozdrawiam
Cześć, ja mam poniżej 2 metrów wzrostu, więc w tym zakresie nie mam jak pomóc, ale KTMy z ich wąskimi kierownicami nie sprawiają wrażenia motocykli dla o wiele większych osób. Raczej takie wrażenie ma się na BMW R 1250 GS ale Adventure. Też na Triumphie Tigerze Rally. Poza tymi dwoma, cała reszta jest wyraźnie ciaśniejsza - KTM ma szczególnie wysoko podnóżki, co już dla mnie jest średnio wygodne. Wersja R siedzi wyżej nad ziemią i w tej wersji cała reszta jest tak fajna, że tę wadę oraz inne byłbym skłonny zignorować. Dla mnie samego przesiadka z Africa Twin na cokolwiek w tej klasie, zwykle byłoby dobrym doświadczeniem. Ale wszystko to jest z perspektywy 183 cm wzrostu.
Nice vidio
36:59 DWA is short for Anti-Theft Alarm System in German, Dieb-stahlwarnanlage 😆 But no idea about the other one 🙄
This truly would be an awesome thing to include in a language-localized menu of the GS. Thanks for possibly resolving this mystery! ;)
Which one is better triumph 1200 gt explorer vs bmw gs1300
It depends on a separate category of comparison and I'm going through them here for these motorcycles: ua-cam.com/video/gS79frKXUDU/v-deo.html
@@VToldsMotoShow gs is the winner right
I've actually been in a bmw store and seen the actual bike, why does your bike look way longer?
When on a side stand, mine was lowered. It also has a 2 cm lowered seat but seeing it along a trim with a regular seat, I wouldn't notice a difference in real life. But it's a completely stock bike.
237kg plus DSA, plus centerstand, plus comfort package,plus enduro package= 250kg
Id like to point out a few things i feel are important being ive owned a r1200,r1250 adventure and currently own a r1250 ultimate edition and having briefly riden a r1300 gs..... firstly the size seems more like a 850 -900 cc bike now for some im sure thats great but for me being 6 feet 2 inches its feels small and the handle bar position is very strange ,a gs is a trans continental trouer machine the rear seat is dreadful for a passenger of course bmw may have a larger seat available but its all extra cost. Secondly the engine casing it ugly what finish they have on it makes it look incredible cheap the foot rests are cheap and cheerful and best ,taking a passenger on a 300 plus hundred mile ride i fear wont be a pleasure for either of you .the tank looks like it has carpet going up it what was bmw thinking of , to spec it up to what youd like is going to be £24,000 ive had 6 bmw motorcycles over time but i feel its a money grab venture now and its lost its soul.
Tough in other words but this was a risky move by BMW and clearly it caused a lot of mixed feelings and confusion in regard to their reasons for particular ideas.
Anyone knows the service interval?
I think every year or after 10.000km
@@ankabo76 I've hoped a little bit more... :( But it seems you're right.
Very interesting... slimmer, more agile and sporty than the previous one. The white one looks like my white 2016 NC750X with a boxer engine 😂 But the price...
BMW knew where to look for inspiration ;)
bmw 1300 rally or 1200 tiger rally?)
Now I can respond saying that here is my take: ua-cam.com/video/gS79frKXUDU/v-deo.html
It's an enormous pig to ride from station to station to station. whoop.
I can not figure out why testers or reviewers write HONEST REVIEW. What are other reviewers NOT honest. When I see that in the title I usually skip that video.
I'm my case I usually rent these motorcycles myself, so I'm not sponsored nor compensated in any other way. This review also qualifies, however, I was given this bike directly by BMW, which puts some pressure due to mutual relationship etc. On the other hand I was still given a free hand and there was no pressure to keep it only positive. I'm also not a motorcycle journalist, so I don't need to care to be given the next bike later or I'm jobless. I also am not invited for fancy trips to review a motorcycle there which then works just like a sponsored review. Same applies to my renting them from dealerships - I bring these bikes back refuelled so all the costs are mine. I'm not promoting the dealers either, so in other words - I'm unbiased. Also, I do not own this or any competing to it motorcycle, so I've got no business in presenting it as bad or worse just to feel better about a bike that I've got. I think this should explain it well. Cheers!
Little Miss FIAT would be pricing up a new side morror if she tried to push me off the road in that way I can tell you!!
Yeah, that was ridiculous and is a clear sign of women totally losing their minds when in cars after the pandemic. It used to be a fantastic place to ride motorcycles but now it's getting more and more bothersome. But that woman was something, especially after another one trying to squeeze between me and the barrier on the right side first. Gotta ride a tank nowadays.
I WANT GS 1300
BMW takes orders already.
You ride like a hooligan. 😁
It's the bike, not me! ;)
It isn't really an adventure bike what with it having so many electronic vulnerabilities that are unserviceable in the field. Also who ever heard of an adventure bike for which the manufacturer will not provide a service manual? And what about the requirement to REPLACE the driveshaft as part of scheduled maintenance???
Wait, what?1 Replace a driveshaft? I definitely missed that information? Is this for real? I won't see your response du to how UA-cam comments work but if you'd have some background on it and would be willing to share it in a direct message here on Instagram with me, it would be awesome: instagram.com/thevtold/

@@secrets1475 and what is costs?
Its 200€
You're confusing an adventure bike with a "bug out" or a "shtf" bike. You're looking for the honda xr650L.
The 1250 style looks more iconic the new one could be from any other Japanese bike with the engine as the only give away whereas the 1250 without an engine would always look like a GS
I do agree with this statement.
Good review, thanks. Too many costly electronics that would put the bike out of reach of those new riders it may want to attract. The technology is starting to take away the joy of just owning a bike and enjoying the ride. I like the new GS looks because it looks like a Honda NC750X, a bike that I love. They even followed the lowering of the seat like Honda did with the NC. 😂
I also like the futuristic look of the NC750X. It's fine on this GS too until I see its cyclops's eye.
Apart from factory fitted flimsy brakes , that dumb wheel of fortune and unnecessary buttons to toggle through .... which just add to the confusion and unnecessary electrical malfunction in rain ..... ( this goes for all MANUFACTURERS doing this nutty stuff ... why add buttons when not required.... the display should be able to navigate n control well enough ) ... I think I'll get one 😊
That's a proper plot twist here ;). I love the "wheel of fortune" expression too.
I almost bought the same bike yesterday. But the Vario, central locking panniers are dysfunctional, and unattractive. I will buy one without the Vario system and add aftermarket aluminum boxes. I truly hated the looks at first. In person, it's gorgeous. 5 years from now its the look you will associate with the big GS. Love it or leave it.
We’ve got to admit that especially from the side, it’s still recognizable as a GS. And well, it’s a GS and it evolves like everything else.
šta se tiče izgleda mislim da stari model izgleda puno ljepše i robusnije,a novo svjetlo je izgleda ukradeno sa poršea 911
Good point about the resemblance to Porsche's "star" headlights with 4 LED elements as daytime running lights.
Service charge so expensive 😢😢
Si la 1200 es un horno, en esta haces pizzas 🤦🏻♂️
Less of the 'really short riders' the average height of a man in uk is 5'8, the average height of a woman is 5'3.. Most motorbikes are made for the top 20% of height. It's utterly ridiculous.
Haven't they done away with a low seat option in the new 1300?
Don't worry about women, at least they can ride in high heels...

Dzięki za zwrócenie na to uwagi. Filmy robię w wolnym czasie i zabierają go tyle, że raczej patrzę w stronę spowolnienia nakładów, niż w drugą stronę. Jako pośrednia opcja służyć może wygenerowanie automatycznie tłumaczonych napisów do filmu w jego ustawieniach. Wtedy mogą pojawiać się w niemal każdym języku.
With electrical side mirrors, windshield and double stand ?? Getting fancier and more expensive now . No thanks i prefer GS1200 or GS1250 with less useless gizmos
Yo, these are actually paid options, so good thing is that we still have a choice of either keeping the bike fairly simple with mostly just basic safety systems or choosing the dark path of getting everything that's there making it more and more fancy.
@@VToldsMotoShow just don't understand why BMW had to change the looks man 😢 It's no longer has the Emperor look.

Great review, but why BMW make such an ugly front headlight - asymmetrical?...
Electric windshield.....why?????????
U set it only once and it is done 😏
Not true. I had an electric windshield on my RT and loved it. Would adjust it for temperature changes, wind /speed changes etc. I rode that bike 40k miles from 25 degrees F to 105 degrees F. After various sized windshields I settled on a low one ( hate looking through a windshield) which in the down position let the wind hit my chest with no turbulence on the helmet. All the way up and you could tuck in behind it in the rain. Having this as an option on the new GS could be a deal maker for me.
@@davidwood301 yea, like u have to adjust it every 5minutes 😏
Seriously, I would also play with it depending on a place, mood etc. I see where you're coming from with it and obviously it's not like we adjust it on every ride but it may be a cool gimmick by the way. If you meant the seat height adjustment system, I'd totally agree and swallow even a complicated way of adjusting it. Still, it's just an additional option on this 130 ;)
If you were taller this video would have been much shorter
There wouldn't even be a video as I wouldn't ride it then.
There are better bikes for offroad and better bikes for road out there
For some applications - definitely right. But in some areas GS wins in my opinion.
It looks more like Honda & Suzuki crossover !! WtH BMW 😢
Sort of like a BMW X6, so an X5 smashed to partially become a lower 5-Series. I could see that happening here too :D
It’s pricey 😂😂💸💸
I feel like being a fully grown country ass American may burden my relationship with BMW... I'm a 6 foot 3 inch tall 300lb (I don't know 1234 kg) man looking to do the exact same thing that all of you middle aged (40-60 y/o) dudes are hoping to do. So, If the 2023 gives me an actual dress pant leg length of saddle height then I DO NOT CARE about whatever 2024 gives, unless it comes in a milkshare or margarita dispenser.
Even so, it has a horrible design. My God, that front...what substance did the design guys smoke? Big Tail/Stop light is safety. Another mistake in this bike.
BMW car sales are said to mostly come from China now. If the motorcycles department is anywhere near those guys ruining BMW cars, the we could be actually having them influence “our” guys. It could’ve been worse and let’s hope they redesign the front end with the nearest refresh.
Get a Multistrada 😂
No!
Ugly and cheap looking, goes well (what new bike doesnt these days ? ) looks like my 1250 is my last GS
Or just keep it until it becomes a classic and motorcycle industry chooses a direction of retro designs.
Nah. Still fugly, for old farts and this falls so short to the stunning Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally. The one in-particular with black, red and aluminum tank.
Again, a guy reviewing the off-road oriented version who never rides off-road and thinks the GS and all ADV bikes have no business riding off-road (his words), and doesn’t tour or do any long distance travel. 🙄 It makes no sense. That’s the absolute last person you’d want to hear review this bike.
It's a truly off-road oriented motorcycle properly equipped to be taken to the world's most demanding environments. This is exactly what this new R 1300 GS has been designed for and its equipment clearly proves that. Makes perfect sense. Also, I don't do any long distance travel and generally keep these bikes in a garage and in front of the dealerships to take some Instagram pics. You clearly got me there after putting in some good detective work.
Nice bike but to kit it out looking at at least £20k GBP way too expensive compared to my Norden Expedition
I’m 6’2” and nothing, repeat nothing is more comfortable than my 2005 GS 1150 Adventure. I rode in non stop from Perth to Sydney via Adelaide in 6 1/2 days total 4,600km and I could have ridden it all the way back. I have tried to replace it with 2011 GSA1200 but no - sold it. Tried yamaha tenere - sold it …
Have you tried an RT? Or even a Goldwing?
@@HardwareG33k no - I’m sure they ride well - but limited to tar - the HS masters dirt as well
Wow, this is quite a distance indeed. Interesting review for the 1150 though.
