- Hello,
Thanks to BMW Motorrad India, I got the opportunity to test ride the BMW 1300GS. I have not been fond of the big GS motorcycles due to their size and weight and I was a bit skeptical when this opportunity came by. And after the ride, what did I thin about it? Watch the video to know more. Cheers!

I’m glad they called you for a review. The wisest influencer who can reach the audience BMW needs.
What a great review. I’m glad you rode it.
🙏🙏🙏
GSA 1250 looks beast. This one has slim down a lot. But still a beauty
👍
GSA 1250 is obnoxiously wide. Aesthetically just didnt cut it especially look from the front is funnily round. However, 1300 is trimming the fat for good. Sexy.
This is probably the best review from India so far..thanks very much for the precise and very technical review of the motorcycle!
Glad you liked it. 🙏
Very nicely done, sir. I dismounted my 719 just 10 minutes before watching this video. it’s cold here in West Texas this morning. The heated grips and seat made for a most comfortable on and off-road ride! I think the naysayer reviewers of the GS 1300 are just jealous.
Good thumbnail. Though I watch most of your videos, the thumbnail got me intrigued so much that I'm watching right away :)
🙏
I've never watched a bmw gs video like this before, the way you explained all the specs and the experience you got in this , believe me I just watched it straight whole 17 minutes in 1.0x and made me to fall in love with this machine and made my dream bike. One day I'll buy it , some day I'll grab this. Thank you sir 🙂
🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations for your dreams
Hello, the best reviews of the GS1300. A lot of people have never ridden a GS, therefore they can not understand the "perfection" of this concept. Thumbs up.
🙏
Awesome review and overview, I totally agree, I had the 1150gsa as well as the 1200gs and even those older models have been the most comfortable bikes I have ever redden, even the f800gs that I recently sold was also very comfortable bike, so the 13gs most be amazing, I do wish that BMW would come up with a 510gs that will stand against the competition, It would help bmw to keep many GS fans who are stepping down the ladder.
Cheers from usa
Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
BMW just asked one question. What would KTM do if they had our patent for the boxer engine? The designer answered: Make it Sleeker, Sharper, Smarter. Superduke GT with off road capabilities.
🙏
The 1300 GS, is a dream! Glad you got to experience sir. It warms my heart when one of my favourite influencers gets to experience my dream. 😊
Oh wow! 🙏
Intro was Brilliant 👏👏
🫡
❤❤❤❤
Production getting better in each video keep it up sir
🙏
Your speech is clear and crisp and to the point. Love it.
🙏
Last few days i have been watching the India Reviews of the new 1300..Having owned the 850 GSA and the 1250 GS..Your content and points u brought out is amongst the finest..Loved ur review...Its never been about the bike.. Its always been about the weight...Hence it wont be ur every day bike...I am sure with current weight reduction and better ease of riding she will be amongst the top charts in india...
🙏👍
Wonderfully put together review!
Great work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant review, as an owner of F850 GSA your views very much resonate with mine. Last evening I was invited to this bike’s launch ceremony and must say I really liked it except the headlight. Keep doing great work 🎉
🙏👍
headlight design is bad
BMW should continue the 1250 model along with 1300. Only one complaint is that they should have continued with 1250 headlight.
👍
EU regulations don't allow offset headlights. Hence the change.
The first 0:30 seconds is mesmerising, that suspension action while you drive is amazing.
🙏🫡
That clear disclosure about your review being based around tarmac / bad roads only is what I simply love ❤ keeping it simple! Super stuff as usual Sir 👍🙂🫡
🙏
What was done in thumbnail 😂😂😂
Salute
@@bigbearbangalore blasphemy :P Glad you were in the group with faisal khan too
Friday jumma - Namaz ..
Whatever! 🫡
The rear mudguard lip is always best during rainy days or any muddy/watery surface. This use to be default on both front and rear mud guards in old motorcycles in 80s and 90s. Eventually, in the name of modernity they removed it. Till date I miss this in all motorcycles. It's so simple yet elegant thing during travel especially which keeps rear seat/luggage/rider clean 😃
🫡
Every time I see your video and the words you put on tells me he is one big boss😎 there with good experience, good one sir thank you for the review 1300 gs.👍🏼
So nice of you. Thanks.
Superb review Bosky! In a style that only you can. Hope to ride and possibly own a machine of this class one day. Until then, such reviews will have to do 🫡
🙏🙌
btw, horizontally opposed engines are also standard in honda goldwings(also porsches,subarus) ..also is shaft drives in many iterations of honda.
👍
The soundtrack at the start of the video reminded me of Jurassic Park 😂. Jokes aside - Thank you for sparing us all by not sharing all the tech jargons yet conveying the message cleanly. Also, kudos to you for being very honest and humble about off-roading while it is technically easy to take a couple of shots from different angles on the dirt and leave it to your editor, who would have done the job by making it look like a Dakar style Bosky race stuff. I think your audience who just likes no-nonsense-keep-it-real motorcycling experience will appreciate this content. Well, I did!! Cheers !
Your kind words much appreciated.
was waiting for your review boskyji
🫡
Very nice review. Thanks.
🙏
Great review!
🙏
Brilliant. BMW needs wise oldies like Arun anna ji to keep their charm, they really do make a difference. :)
🙏
Good review.I am a s1000 Xr Gen 1 owner, and I am 6.5 ft tall a Tuluwa Rider in Sydney.
Was thinking of GS , but my use is mainly city ride , so just skipped GS for now and went with XR . Happy with the night and ride comfort , but feels a bit dated in terms of tech .
But this GS is loaded, and kind of tempting, will give it a bit of time and then let’s see .
Once again thanks for Good and honest review.
🙏👍
You are the elder brother, a lot of us dont have. Thank you :)
🙏
You guys are the best in the business
🙏
Helloooo , straight to the point 👉 bosky , we like your videos always, thank you for sharing your experiences 🙏
🙏
I am feeling high when i hear GS i am happy with my 310 GS ❤❤❤❤
👍
Love the intro ❤
🙏
Beauty sir , Thanks for the video 🫡
My pleasure.
Great looking motorcycle treated with BOSKYS cult style review 🎉🎉🎉.. this model will unleash new trends and lifestyles for sure 👍
👍
This is primarily what all GS are about , low CG due boxer config hence amazing handling , most comfy , no dive on braking due tele lever , high torque avail low down . This one is a little lighter that’s all . More power more tech is just not required . I do appreciate that they made it lighter but still not worth it buying new … a subjective a comment that may be .
Ok. It's your perspective. And we all have one. 👍
@@bigbearbangaloresmaller and lighter for me now , upper himalyas is where it’s at now for me . See ya there maybe one day 👍🏼
Brilliant video by the way. Can we expect a update on baby GS?
Thanks.
Don't know. Possible.
Guruji, if you can ride the previous version, the R1250 GS and give a comparison then it would be wonderful. becuase i kinda like the R1250 more than this currently.
I am not fond of the 1200/1250 and like I have said, did not bother to ride them. So I may not do this comparison. It's clear to me, the 1300 is quite a bit better thsn the predecessors.
If you like it, go for it. 👍
I think engine performance was somewhat compromised up there in ladakh due to low atmospheric air pressure.
It will improve in lower latitudes. What do you think.
Yes
Intro was 🔥🔥
🫡
sirji Honda NX500 & Honda transalp 750 reviews are still pending. eagerly waiting
Will do when the opportunity permits.
Especially nx500
Can we expect a similar kind of rework in 850 gs?
No idea
Awesome Review Sir!
Glad you liked it!
You may use the rear camera to actually show the parts you’re talking about! It would be more relatable to most of your viewers (including myself) who do not have an iota of idea of that kind of a machine! Thanks a lot for your videos!
Noted.
Best video of GS 1300 so far..
🙏
Great delivery. I am 6ft 2 and i feel its small. I have 34 inseam . Did 350km yesterday on my 1250gs. At 20000 km it just. Starting to break in
👍
100% YES !!!!!!!!
❤😊
🙏
Brilliant Crisp and Short review 🏆
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
Was waiting for this review ❤
Hope you like it!
Was waiting for this 🔥 Bossky
🙏
Brilliant review ❤
🙏
@bigbearbangalore please make a video on petrol additives like liqui moly, motul etc, when should use, using them really increase performance? or it is myth?. do they really clean inside of engine etc..
Noted
Worth the exaggeration and hype !! But as an admirer of GSA...felt the actual appeal is missed.....and after watching this...yes one has to adapt to the changes....the bike is more techie now..
Ok. And this appeals to me far more than the ungainly GSAs.
This is THE review❤
🙏
great review.
Thanks!
i think the wide cylinder heads and their height above the ground makes it more susceptible to topple if bike tilts a bit more, what do you think???
Not so.
I have a 1250gs and 20k . Its the most stable platform . Not sure what your are saying . The 1300 is even more compact
@@satzawesome yes somehow ppl are back making compact and sleeker ADVs
Nice, to the point. Does it vibrate horizontal while revving/start?
Thanks. Just when starting and shutting down there a rotationall shake.
Wht is that helmet you are wearing?
Touratech Aventuro Carbon
well said all relavant points said, pretty cool, i guess KTM 1290 adventure R and S have all the tech as well.
👍
They are like race horses. They also breakdown alot. Ktm run like crazy but u can count on it to break down
Please make a video about your English. It is so elegant. Love to learn the way you speak.😊
🙏🙏🙏
very good observation that they are making it more nimbler to get more customers
👍
If there’s 1 bike to rule them all, it’s a big GS. I believe the only areas the old model is better is comfort and looks/presence. The future adventure model will be the ultimate all-rounder. Just make sure you have roadside assistance 😅 but who doesn’t these days?
🫡
Can it be driven in traffic? With that kind of displacement, is there a lot of heat?
It cab be ridden in traffic and yes of course there will be heat throw from this 1300cc.
Can you one video on Himalayan chassis broken issue
Follow me on Instagram
Hello sir,
If you have an option to pick Ducati Dessert X and BMW GS1300 , which one will you choose and why?
The X needs far greater skill and courage than I have to push it, so I shall choose the 1300.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you sir
Sir, which sunglass is this?😊
Police brand
Which helmet you are using (in this video)
Touratech Aventuro Carbon
@@bigbearbangalore never heard. What would be the price? I possible pls share the link.
Thanks for your response.
Anna, is it wise choice to buy it for Indian road conditions? I rode one today and experienced everything you said, but I felt it was a bit too much bike.....yen Vichara?
Personal preference. If you like it and have the finances, then why not.
Absolutely.. Same feeel.. Exactly..
🙏
Good review👍, please also try 1250gs to make a comparison video
Thanks. Am not sure I'll do this comparison. In any case, the 1300 is in my opinion, quite a bit better.
May we get deets on those absolutely beautiful pair of shades??
Police brand. I bought them about 15 years ago I think. 😊
Africa twin or GS1300 which one you pick ?
1300GS
Where to rent bikes in bangalore?
Need suggestions for genuine deals
Deals I don't know. It you are looking for a large fleet and choice, Royal Brothers.
The main reason I'm holding on to my 850gsa is its size and the presence.
👍
Hello sir, Now you can review about your RS TAICHI jacket & pant.
Will do when next possible. 👍
What sunglasses are those, Mr. Bossky?
Looks really cool.
Police brand.
ಸೂಪರ್ basky...ಬಾಸು ..🎉ಇದು ಸಕ್ಕತಾಗಿದೆ 🎉
🙏
Have you bought it ?
Nope
Then sir, with all due respect, it sounded like a BMW promotion. The bike has to be great for sure, but i was relying on a review from someone who has driven it long enough and knows the nuances vs a Tiger / old 1250. I intend to purchase one in next 9-12 months
@truemonk1 I’ve shared what I thought. It’s a first ride review like the title clearly says. And you may see it as you wish to see it. And it is what it is. Enjoy your rides. Cheers!
Noted . What is your opinion on the BMW vs Triumph service network in India . Especially availability of spare parts and service network. I stay in Gurgaon
@truemonk1 Triumph network is expanding fast and most parts are available.
Which helmet are you wearing in this helmet?
Touratech Aventuro Carbon
Big bear is becoming a very very big bear probably a Grizzly bear 😂
Those sun glasses looks good on you.
😳🙏
I’m the only one on the Tarmac and I stay on the Tarmac!!👍👍👍
👍
From the front unknown to anyone, looks like a damn CB200X or Dominar!
Oook!
It doesn't to me.
You forgot y'our' signature helooooo Guru!!! Yakee??
👋
Abhi maine aapka review dekha nahi hai.agar aapka review bike k liye badiya hoga to book karwa dunga.bosky sir.1 reply or karna sir jaroor triumph scrambler 400x mai city mai frequently gear change to nahi karne padte plz.reply my query asap.thnx
Gear change is part of traffic riding. No escape.
What are your thoughts on Himalyan chasis break issue.. wanted your honest feedback.. i am planing to buy one but very sceptical about the quality issues.
Please check on the company's statement on this released thru the media on the cause. And that's the cause. Improper design and installation of aftermarket crash guards.
Understood, in your opinion is that satisfactory after all it's a 3.5 lakh machine.. I and several others used after market accessories in Honda and Bajaj 150-200 cc machines and even after thousands of wheelies, stoppies all kind of stunts, the chasis never broke.
Incorrect installation in the wrong places with wrong fastners can cause failure. That's it. Everything else matters not.
if you remember LML graptor jesi headlight h
👍
hello bosky sir can this compete with my new bullet 350? 😀😀
There is in reality no competition, no race, no winner. It's all in our minds. So, anything is possible.
@@bigbearbangalore exactly , that's y our bosky sir is the best
At 2:10 and throughout, please correct the statement to - "I was proven utterly wrong"...
No correction. It stays.
😄
Everything sounds great but too much tech i guess, just curious and no intention to make fun of anyone, when a person need tech assistance to put bike in centre stand how can he handle such massive bike in off rode or to control the bike on uneven roads, its probably a question than anything i guess.also what is the benefit of height of r ground clearance increase of bike when speed goes above 50kmph? Wouldn't it mess with suspension which ridder already setup according to his needs?
There are clear and strong reasons for each piece of technology on this. No gimmicks. Use it and one will appreciate it.
👍🏽
🙏
I think those aircrafts used boxer engines too.
Perhaps some.of them did
❤❤

Thank you teacher 🙂 mera attendance laga dena sir please 😄

dear @bigbearbangalore
I was following your channel, since long time. But you know, you would've make this video way better. If you get a chance to ride and review a motorcycle. you would've done it better. if you observe most of the video frame was covered by your face and bike is in blur.
We wish you might show us the view from third person point, but never done. As you said, there is a lot more to talk about it and review the vehicle which you couldn't done it. anyways thanks.
Dude! Sorry my style didn't live up to your expectations. My videos are more aural than visual. So may be that's something you could keep in mind when you tune into my channel videos. And there are plenty of cinematic videos on this motorcycle on YT. Those may satiate your visual cravings. Enjoy. Cheers!
Waiting a video from bosky titled “Hello, I bought a 1300gs at the age of 50+ in india” 😂
🫡
Sir, age is just a number. Your passion for bikes shows your determination to do what you love. Your bow to the 1300 GS means that you were blown by the bike and what it has to offer. 😊
I am impressed. Will have to sell one of my kidneys for this. But still forced to ask "Kitna peeti hai"?
👍
