Excellent Video - I have the exact Triple Black from 2018 w/ TFT display - Now i can finally comfortably reach my feet to the ground - changed the seat height - thx to you
Great review Adam... Thank you for doing this... didn't even feel like 29:48 minutes. I got my 17.5 Standard GS last August and still learning about the riding modes...
Hi Adam, after watching your nice review, I am wondering if this 2017 was the .5 version. I am in a dilemma at the moment, as I have three options: Purchase a 2017 with cases and Nav. VI (less expensive option), spend $1500 and get a 2018 with TFT but no cases or GPS. Any suggestions? I am sure the TFT screens are nice, but not sure if it is worth it to me.
Thank you, Adam! Since you have had both bikes, is there a noticeable riding difference on transmission or on anything else that would make you lean more towards the ‘18? I am about to pull the trigger, and while I am tempted to go after the ‘18 the ‘17 seems to be the more “mature” choice. Thanks for your valuable expertise.
Just one question. What do you do that you could buy this motorcycle, coz I know its out of the budget for me for the next 10 years. This my dream bike and would love to have it in my garage. I just hope to have this as soon as possible.
It's a really good question but not really easy to answer on an individual basis. I just work very hard, had a few good ideas, met the right people and can afford to have nicer things now. These bikes are absolutely worth their cost but keep in mind, higher MSRP items have a higher upkeep cost. Maintaining a Triumph or Yamaha will be cheaper as well as lower cost parts. So if you save enough money to buy one of these, the total cost of ownership will be higher.
I think 4 hour work week is a nice inspiration for me. Automate as much as you can so you can work more than one job while still having nights and weekends to study, ready and expand. When you're 30, you'll be able to take weekends off and ride instead of working. Try to put some incomes on auto-pilot (passive income) that you just make money without any interference. UA-cam makes me enough money to pay the payment on this bike every month. That's one example of a nice second income.
I really appreciate you taking your time and answering my question. I stay in India and hope to meet you some day and have a wonderful conversation with you.
Adam Chandler don't gloat that you are too tall for the windscreen, be sensitive towards us 5 feet 8 inch guys also...who can hardly flatfoot the bike, but still dream about riding the 1200 GSA...and also in other videos you say that "..the bike feels so tiny under me.." how tall are you...😝😝😝
Just acquired this make and model, color, etc. First BMW. Really appreciate the video. There is so much to this bike. 🙏
Enjoy Chris. Thanks for watching and ride safe.

I’m 12 years old and i don’t even have a motorcycle. This is one of my favourite BMW bike!
Greta review. You can actually change the ride modes while moving at speed by pulling the clutch lever without damaging your engine.
Your videos are better than what I got when I bought my bike. I keep going back to learn something else from you. Thanks.
Thank you for watching. Ride safe!

the clicks are the fuel injection system charging for the fire up .
Great video. I've been looking for a vid that's very detailed like this.
Great! Good luck in your purchase process and ride-safe!
Great review, well done! I have the triple black GS 2016...pretty much the same.
Congrats on the bike! Ride safe.

TFT may do better in resale value but it's still quite buggy. Standard Dash + NAV is still a better combo.

Other than TFT and the Auto ESA, the 2018 is identical to the 2017. I actually kind of miss the control over ESA as opposed to auto leveling.

Is that a GTI in the background? if so we got same car and same bike. Two great minds !!!
Golf R actually! Bu pretty much the same thing.
That's my exact bike. I love it!
I put on radiator guards and a V Stream taller wind screen.
Those two items are definitely on my list! The windscreen is simply not tall enough.

I was hoping to see a GSA video on your Channel !
@@michaeldibella561 well, there is this one I did, awhile back. . . ua-cam.com/video/ALZ_wvO1I4g/v-deo.html
Does this bike has a computer beneath its seat ?
Yep it does. That’s the ECU.
@@AdamChandler86 ECU is Electronic circuit Unit which is also present on my Harley, how different are both these ECUs ?
