Someone on another channel nailed it when they wrote "It looks like they've stuck a head light on a photocopier"
Hilarious!
Disrespectful to 99.9% of photocopiers.
Holy moly! It looks more like the Lego GS than the Lego GS does!
I said exactly the same thing 😂
Best comment to date !!
That’s exactly what I thought at first sight
A blind man on a galloping horse will think that looks fkin awesome
I have the Lego GS. It's much much prettier.
Instead of redesigning the panniers to match the bike, BMW redesigned the bike to match the luggage rack… 🤣
😂😂😂👌
@@sublimeister9630 one ugly luggage rack ! 🤣
Exactly !!!
Unusual design, Luggage where the tank used to be.... is it electric🤔
Terrible, nuf said.
Looks like BMW and Harley Davidson Pan-America had a baby. Very polarising design.
Very good comparison
Damm, you beat me to it LOL.
That was my impression as well! And this is not a complement.
I came here to say this. The bike looks very Pan America-esque, and to my eyes, that is not a good thing.
except the Pan American actually looks good
News just in from Berlin…… German Police have arrested BMW Motorrad’s Head of Design who, it transpires is actually an American Citizen ( German Parents ) who is employed by Harley Davidson and was secretly placed at the German Company with the express intention of effing-up the GS’s Iconic designs.
@@JohnB998 I think it looks worse than the Harley Davidson Livewire & that's saying something.
Looks like used 1250 GSA prices will hold firm.
@@Banditmanuk which is good news for me since bought myself a lightly used 2021 adventure bike last week🥳🤣
I bought 3 weeks ago a 2023 used triple black with 2k km in it with a higher price than the first owner paid for it new!!!!
at first I was angry because I want it so bad, but after looking to the prices in the market here, now I feel that I'm lucky that I did this great deal, because many have paid same as me for a 45k/50k km and a year older...
between, I'm from Morocco, and since the arrival of the 1300 gs, the prices of the 1250 ADV have gone crazy here, because of the BMW dealer who no longer wanted to bring brand new 1250 GSA to give the new one a chance !!!
Man, I was hoping to snag a 1250GSA HP at a bargain when this thing came out... 🤥
100% agree about the looks. No matter how good it rides you still have to look at it
🫢
@@geoff9614 do you look at the mantelpiece while you are stoking the fire? 🔥 Haha. You don't have to look at it while you ride it 🏍️. Maybe it's best you start your day/ride with your eyes closed? Haha. I'm just teasing. It's not for everyone. I quite like it, but I see where to most it's tough to swallow
In reality - You only have to look at it, when you are not riding it
Whilst you don’t have to endure seeing it as you ride, others do. Think of them when you consider buying one, be kind and get something else (an old stock R1250GSA). I imagine that the sniggers of HD riders who can’t believe there is anything uglier on the road than a Pan Am will be heard above their custom exhaust din and clatter of their tractor-like engines.
@@fritzbox5014 Who cares what HD riders think (they are typically/ often just about looks/ vanity & clothing attire, not the performance/ engineering aspects of the motorcycle - Y/ N?)
I showed a picture of it to a blind man, even he thought it was ugly.
Meanwhile, over at Ducati , the production manger takes a call from the marketing manager, "Roberto, get ready, you need to ramp up Multistrada production. Sales are about to go through the roof". Over in Hinkley UK, the local wine shops are sold out of champagne as the Triumph management team party long into the night. The production manager has already asked for overtime "boss, I think I am going to be busy".
The UK shoots its entire foot off with Brexit. BMW says "hold my beer".
Just watched a bit of the BMW release event video. When the covers came off and the dry ice smoke cleared, it was met with what can only be described as a bit of a 'tumbleweed' moment. Sounded like the audience was literally stunned into silence. The lady presenter left the stage and tried desperately to rouse the crowd, but only managed to elicit a few embarrassingly isolated claps and one or two rather sad yays. Oh, BMW, what have you done?
Yes I watched that too - somewhat embarrassing!!!
Yes, I watched that. So amateurish. The CEO of BMW Motorrad - who was way too casual - kept calling the new bike a 'car' and seemed to have no purpose to his presentation. Appalling lighting too, for the staging.
My initial, visceral, gut reaction was 'yuck, what the hell is that?"
Spot on! It was awefully cringe
Have BMW actually tested this design with anyone outside of their design room echo chamber? I do hope they haven’t planned a big production run on the factory…
Thanks for the pic, I'm now ordering my new Triumph Tiger Explorer tomorrow
@@David-dg4vo LOL. And I know you're not joking either.
I looked at one last week and will most likely be going the same way. I recently hired a 900 Pro in Japan for 2 weeks and was very impressed.
@@inverlane1939 Hi I've just ordered a Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, Explorer seemed a bit top heavy.
I just felt the 900 was a little under powered as we're going touring 2 up and with full luggage around Europe
@@michael-masi-2021 Hi I've just ordered a Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, Explorer seemed a bit top heavy.
@@David-dg4vo Makes sense and of course you will get the useful adaptive suspension and shaft drive. I really loved the appearance, presence, fit & finish and ride of the 900 Pro and didn’t miss my GS 1250 Raylle at all during nearly a 2000 mile tour on my own.
Dear me, a bike to be ridden in the dark me thinks 😅
Well, I have at least heard good things about the headlights 😁
Fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down !!
and landed face down
on a rock.
And then it climbed right back up the tree and did it all again.
😂😂😂😂😂
Bet it rides well, but holy shit, doesn't the the new Africa Twin suddenly look more appealing.
My 1250’has just increased in value 😅
Very true!
Why did I sell mine last year 😢
From some angles (side profile) the tank and front section look similar to the V-STROM 1050 DE
All I can say about the looks is “YUK” Did BMW have a competition to see who could design a bike whilst wearing a blindfold?
I agree with you! It has the looks only its mother could love. I’m sticking with my R1200GS Rallye.
@@johnsamson-snell9558 come to mama! That's my baby right there. I hope to get one REALLY cheap when they can't sell them, because most people clearly despise it's looks hahahaha.
Yep GS Rallye... sticking with mine too.
So me 👍😁🏍️
R1200GS Rallye is prettier :)
TMF please don't hold back in your opinion of it :-) I agree with you entirely and I don't know what universe where this bike would be considered attractive. My eyes are bleeding too :-) I thought the Harley Davidson Pan American was ugly but Motorrad have turned the fugly knob in their design studio to the max and some.
I’m with you!
Must be a competition between bmw and harley ,who can make the ugliest bike ,and the most expensive... and probably least reliable ,still pcp they'll have loads of the "I must have the latest brigade " queing up 😂
An honest opinion which I’m sure will not be the case with the vast majority of v bloggers.
I agree too unfortunately
I’m So Glad I bought a 1250GSA Triple black !. Absolutely hate the look of that thing there!🏴
|Same here.
That cannot be the finished bike, looks like it’s made of LEGO 😂
This looks like a 1april joke... I dont understand. They somehow made it worse than the regular 1300. I cant imagine this bike will be popular.
@@Kevin97587 They will have to scrap it and get a new R1300 GSA v2 designed PDQ
@@Kevin97587 buy an old GS adventure quickly !
I thought it was due to have a 1400 engine? The front mud guard looks like an after thought, tiny. I’d rather have the 1250 GSA or 1150 GSA.
I am sooo happy I got my 1250 GSA in 2022! After seeing this, even more so!
Looks like a Munch Mammut from 1970!
It looks like a bigger version of the old RE Himalayan. Styling by Etch A Sketch.
People's perception of styling and what looks good changes dramatically over time. That said, I do wonder if BMW went too far with this one... (personally I actually kind of like it - looks futuristic)
I'd agree with you about looking futuristic, I've seen this new GSA in a movie, "Judge Dredd", of course it could have been a stunt double. :)
That’s great to hear!
@@BigRockMoto I'm with you buddy. I love the tough futuristic looks. I could live with the X light ... That front beak a bit horrid but I won't see it when I'm riding.
I plan to buy one for cheap from the dealer when they can't sell them, clearly they won't sell many, most people are hating on it's looks pretty hard.
I wonder if it's made here in Thailand like most of their bikes are now?
It's got my favourite Adaptive Cruise control.
@@tigerrider007 you're spot on and now I'm dying to re-watch Dredd.
So you are the one 😂👍
Wow, pretty pleased I went and bought the 1250 GSA in March 😅
I think the normal 1300 looked a lot better then every upgrade since the original GS. This one however looks like a friggin tank and a tractor had a lovechild!
I love it! Muscular and unique. Definitely not boring.
Great to hear!
Andy, your mic placement makes it look as though you are keeping a squirrel warm underneath your jacket and I love it!!
Personally I quite like the looks. It's got a Brutalist sort of charm about it.
Yay, we found you!
Erm, so does Coventry, although I'm not sure that 'charm' works for this GS or Coventry😂.
On the upside, if there's a remake of 1984 any time soon, we know what the thought police will turn up on.
Me too. I love it.
I love the way it looks. Looks just like a blocky video game bike. Futuristic and tough.
Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. I kind of like it. The wider tank and general appearance detract from the radar. Can’t wait to see one in person.
Wow - another who likes it - so glad to hear that!
@@TheMissendenFlyer I went up to Garmisch this morning, to the BMW Motorrad 2024 event, to see what it looks like in the flesh. The photos don’t do it justice, it looks pretty amazing and was getting a lot of interest at the show. They could have played safe, but didn’t, which has to be a good thing.
Seems like BMW sent its design engineers to do an erasmus in Lego
I have recently bought a 1250GSA Rallye with some reservation because of the new 1300 coming along soon. What a good decision that was having seen it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣BMW ****** up big time!!
The 1250GSA is about to go up in value. 😂😂
Definitely soild resale value on my 1250GSA now
glad to see my 1250 gsa going up in value , cheers bmw 👍
I often find that the bikes look better in the flesh than on pictures. Just traded in my 1250GSA so was very interested in the new 1300. Look forward to seeing it in my local BMW dealer in due course.
TBF the NC750 looks bad in any picture yet IRL they look OK
Well done Missenden for being a channel that tells it as you see it. Other channels are mute about the looks so as not to upset the chance of getting a demo.
Well it’s only my opinion - I’m sure some people love it (seems very few though)! I bet it rides great and hope I do get the chance to ride one at some point….
Ducati exhibited the Desert-X prototype at shows and the crowd said, “Please make it”. I don’t think BMW would get the same reaction here. ;-)
Hi Andy, I agree about the looks although I think it's a slight improvement over the standard model. Having said that, I much prefer the outgoing models of both!
I really like the look of the bike, looks rugged and big and I like that it looks different to the GS,bet when I see and have a test ride, I'll want one😂
Agree completely! I feel like my R1250GSA just won a beauty contest!
I’m with you on the overall looks. The headlight I could live with but the gas tank and forward side panel remind me of our new countertop toaster oven. We really do love our new oven.
That big icebox will come in handy.
Honestly the looks are already growing on me, a lot, including the cockpit - but it’s interesting they’ve given up on pretending it’s an off-roader the GSA…
I agree with you on the looks but it has all of the functions you need if you can get over the looks.
Thanks for the outtakes. A nice new feature of the future video I hope?!
I don’t often have outtakes, if I do then I include them!
christ what a munter, defo need your beer goggles on before heading into the garage to get on that
After being a BMW rider for many years, I’m looking to other manufacturers for ‘the spark’. This one doesn’t have it.
Totally agree with you about the looks!
OMG! Looks like I’m definitely keeping my 2020 HP GSA.
I see the Front end Designer of BMW cars is now dabbling in Bike Design too 😱
Yes, he's been given the job of designing the side of the bike. Maybe next year he will design the front on the new model :)
It's a combination of a Lego Project, a Gentec Generator and a Power Washer , WTF were the designers thinking ?? Chopsy walked around one in a video, perhaps up close it may "Grow" on people, but first looks, it's a Mutation
I concur with your review.
Definitely keeping my 1200 Multistrada Enduro Pro.
Most of the gizmo’s on the latest generation of Adventure bikes seem to address problems that never existed in the first place.
Each to their own though.
Looks like it was styled on the Munch Mammoth lol
That's exactly what I thought👍
This was the Mad Max 2050 movie spec build, right? 🤪 Did BMW hire designers from Lada? Even Leopard tanks look better from the side. Glad I got my Tramuntana. I've grown to like the light. But not the radar module. The GSA is going to get a lot of name calling.
I did the right thing by buying the last new triple black in the U.K. lol a couple of weeks ago, at least they didnt reduce the tank volume! but CHRIST is it ugly!
Great content chap, 1st ive seen for the new ADV! 👏👍👌🤘✌🖖🤙🍻
I remember pretty much the same comments about the GSA when It was released 👍
I literally laughed out loud when the first pic came up. God Almighty its VILE. I would rather have a Harley Pan America than this -and I HATE the looks of the Pan America. No way BMW, missed it this time 🤢
i like it, that said i own a honda cl500😂
To save costs, BMW swapped human designers for an AI from hell. Judge Dredd would probably buy this machine.
That's what's it is! Dredd bike. Love it!!!!
@@michael-masi-2021even Dredd would have better taste 😂😂
Today I have actually tried using AI to create a GSA cubism / LEGO style image and they were all better looking than BMW’s own designs. I tried all sorts of things but couldn’t get it to draw anything remotely as awful as the 13000GSA. There has been much debate about when AI will surpass human ability and I’d say that AI is now officially better than the Motorrad Motorcycle Design Team. Maybe it’s just a simple mistake and a designer took some of their 4 year old kid’s crayon drawings into the office and someone thought they were the proofed designs? Maybe it’s a belated April Fool (we know BMW love April Fools Day) and they’ll release the real bike soon.
@@fritzbox5014 please post this level of hate about the bike everywhere. I want to buy one for pennies when they don't sell. I love the way it looks. Trash this thing to everyone you meet, please.
I saw this guy describing the GSA1300 like it had a huge BMW keyfob on each side, and I can't unsee that 😅
I will be hanging on to my 2024 GSA for sure.
1250GSA prices have just gone up!
I can't stop laughing at the new GSA what were BMW thinking, so glad I bought the Ducati 😂😂😂
Great to see the bloopers are back 🤣🤣I'm waiting for your actual bike review when you get hold of one before i make my mind up about the bike. 👍
I'm sure it will ride very well, I'm looking forward to seeing one in the flesh.....
I agree. Struggling with the looks of the side profile and the headlight.
They should have got some Italians to do the styling. Probably still great engineering but that will lose them lots of sales.
So glad that I bought the last model year of the original R 1250 GSA....I agree this new one is hideous!
wow on point news thanks.
Yes, my mother had me tested, I'm not crazy (per se). The lego comments are spot on, and in a weird way, I sort of like it. I love the tech, the storage finally seems effective and price worthy and I love the theory of the connected tank bag. The triple black hides some of the blockiness and may be the way to go. Need to see one in person to see if I am crazy or not.
Yes the other colour schemes look better I agree....may be better in the flesh (can't be worse!)
@@TheMissendenFlyer One would hope it couldn't be worse in the flesh 🤣
As I said to you in wales a few weeks ago , after owning 12 gs’s I was so looking forward to this new model as I dislike the standard 1300 gs … omg!!!!! I initially thought this was some kind of joke …. That’s so horrible!!!what on earth have bmw done 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
In the end it will be the reality on the road for traveler bikes like the Gs ...., 1200,1250 nowadays.
Looks like a Honda generator 🤣🤣
I knew it reminded me of something!
Bit unfair on Honda….
I will stick with my low chassis, R1250GS TE LC Rallye thank you very much. Agree with you on the looks Andy and of course, would like to test ride one.
Based on the picture alone, I would have to agree with you. I was shocked 😮 by the images I saw a few days back. Then I saw LCR’s short video. Even his short video made more sense of what they have done. So I’m some where in the middle. Can’t wait to see it in the flesh. 😁👍
An automatic adventure bike... Was it designed by the BMW Scooter department? The fun of riding a motorcycle is mastering the friction zone. Triumph must be overjoyed with this BMW monstrosity.
Yes you can imagine Triumph, Ducati and KTM will all pick up sales as a result of this monstrousity....
BMW please hire a Ducati designer
I moved to Ducati, I thought the 1250 was ugly…I quite like the standard version.
Reminds me of a lego technix model kit. I am so pleased i didnt wait around for this. My initial comments on your GS video Andy were " omg what have they done to the GS" and after four GSAs, I wont be buying another one. The 1250 looks so much better and keeps true to the original concept of the GS platform. OMG i cant look at it anymore, someone pass me a bucket.....
I have a 2021 BMW 1250 GSA 40 year edition and love it. For me buying an adventure bike function is iway more important than form - looks. I love the attention to function on the new 2025 1300 GSA. The storage options are awesome! I like storage mounts they have places on the front sides o the bike and the great way they designed the tank bag mount. I think the new transmission options will be great as well. The more I look at the bike from all angles the more I like it. When I am doing long rides across continents both on road and a lot of off road the bike will be so dirty you will not notice the form of the bike but I will sure appreciate all the functionality of the bike. I think in time most will come to love the bike!
I’m not so sure on your last point but delighted to hear you love the bike!
As my mother would say “I’m matters of fast there is no dispute” as for me, I think.......I think I like it..... I do like the grab handles on the engine guards. I think they also might be “snag” handles in the brush. But once somebody gets on it then in three dimension will I know if the new changes for I like it. As always great video
OMG!…. You’re spot on. Like Lord Farquhar said to Fiona…. “This thing is Hideous”…. Keeping my 1250GS for sure. You better snag a leftover before they’re gone!
Gorgeous. My 2009 R1200 GSA will be missed😢. When it lands in South Africa, it has a place to stay at me!
Just watched the official launch vid ...it looks one hell of a size ...the riders all looked over 6ft who road the bike into the stadium me thinks us under 6ft might struggle with it ...and the looks ....it looks like a tank..very purposeful and nothing would stop it going round the world..
Yes, your bike looks much better.
Wow! That is the fastest lorry I've seen in ages!
You are kidding…this has to be a UA-cam lash up rather than the finished product!
I reckon the triple black will work better with the "blocky" look....I do hope BMW don't penalise you Andy and give you a go on it as you are very honest and clear and fair in your appraisals...lets wait and see....btw really enjoyed the off road festival vid too!
Thank you Guy - BMW get both good and bad reviews from me, they are grown ups and I’m sure they’ll let me have as go….I’m also sure it will ride brilliantly!
About the looks - 1000% agree
I really wanted to order that new adventure but today all my plans came to an end.
So, thanks for the heads up on the new GSA. Looking at the pictures on their website, I am not as put off as you are on the overall looks. I think the current GSA is better looking. Of course, I will reserve final judgement until I see one in person. I am curious as to what purpose the bulging covers on the tank are for. I have owned a couple of SUVS where I didn't care for the front grill. But the rest of the vehicle was great. So, I adopted the stance that as I drive, I can't see the see it so why worry about it. Of course, when you park and see the front end you think oh my God that's ugly.
I feel like this is how BMW does it. Remember the GS models of the early 2000’s. Big and chunky. But it grew on most over time……maybe this will too???
I’m not holding my breath but maybe!
I’m with you flyer, simply it gave me the same visual vibe as when I first seen the Pan America, and the nickname “Breadbox” just popped immediately to mind, it will be brilliant to ride no doubt, but will you look back at it as you walk away after parking it like I do with my old 2008, 🤔
I think your g's looks amazing just keep it
Thank you - I intend to do just that!
I'm an old Detroit guy, but it struck me as old school cool and I just like how it looks. That said, when it comes to esthetics I'm often alone on my island. I hope they distribute some good details about the technologies so one can really study the options and R1300GSA vs R1300GS
I really like the looks of this GSA. It's rugged and futuristic and I think, badass.
Glad to hear that!
I’ll be keeping my 2022 GSA TE Ralye when the PCP finishes.
On first looks, I like it. Modern angular lines. Just like the way cars are going, back to mor square edges whilst looking sleek.
I’m glad you like it!
What have they done! I thought it was a prototype image at first. The 1250 GSA just got more desirable. Thanks for sharing and being honest with your opinion
The crowd will definitely be drinking Beer and Scnhapps tonight
Looking at the new bike and yours in the garage yours is much better, so I still like the 1250 which in it self is a very modern bike with a very good engine and look great, I remember how good you said the engine was on the 1250 .
I personally like the way it looks. It's stunning and futuristic.
Maybe it will grow on you all eventually.
I like the integrated fog lights that look like signal lights
Glad to hear that!
Wowsers, makes the standard GS look like an absolute beauty.
Doesn't it!
