I said exactly the same thing, seen the triple black in the flesh, tried it best bike on the planet. They dared to be different. Ordered one to replace my 1250 GSA, seriously it is a step up, I have owned three GSA's, and at 67 years old had so many different bikes. You need to try it...
I was excited to upgrade to the 1300 from my 1250 until I saw it… I don’t need radar cruise control. I don’t need Blindspot monitoring. I don’t need other garbage that increases the weight for nothing. They may as well make it a street bike. On top of it all they made it for short people and that’s fine if they wanna do it for the GS but not the GSA. I’m 6 foot three and I like the imposing size of the GSA 1250. So I just bought some new parts to bling bling it up And I’m gonna keep it for a long time to come. It’s funny you’re on the other side of the world to me. Quit listening to your story exact same motorcycle history. I would rather have a new bike than a Ferrari.
Go check the Harley Pan America. I’ve had 3 GSs and wanted to change bikes this year. Was waiting to see the new 1300 GSA .. 🤮. Looked around at others and test road the PA and I absolutely love it, the rev max engine is bloody terrific, and I have more fun on my PA than any of the GSs that I had. At least go test ride the PA before dismissing it.
Well, complaining guys, you still have the 1250 - that's your happy bike. I love the new GSA and I hated the old one, so I guess I am the marketing target and you are not :))
Going to have too, the dream was always to buy brand new, but then the depreciation is instant with a new bike. The 1300 gs looks good but I just got really excited about the adventure when I saw the stats list.
I actually just bought a 2024 1250 GS adventure. why didn't I buy a 2025? same exact reason you don't like the 25s. it has got to be one of the most god ugly adventure bikes I have ever seen. no I take that back, it IS the ugliest! I realize adventure bikes are more about the adventure and not the appearance, but come on, this has got to be the worst looking design you could possibly come up with. I can't imagine they're going to sell very many of these things.
Same here. Traded my 2017 GSA 1200 on a 2024 GSA 1250 on 10/29/2024. Seen the GSA 1300 in person in Red, Rallye, and Triple Black. I liked the Triple Black but didn't want to deal with first year issues.
I'm not too sure about the new ones either, but i got a BMW 1250GS a year ago and It's everything I hoped for and more, I love it
@@sigis72 think that’s what il have to do. I just always dreamed of a brand new bike

I’m going to look at one next week, hopefully it will change my mind in the flesh.
It won’t take long for everyone to get used to it and all the haters will eat their words.
@@8000blue I hope I come round, I really wan to like the bike. I would laugh if I look back at this post in 3 years and iv bought one 😂😂😂

@@ronaldellis3888 always a bike over a Ferrari 👍
The only thing I don't like is the price and the fact I need to get another set of bags!😀
If you haven’t seen it in person, you can’t really know. I own the normal gs and its an incredible bike.

Ill stick with my 1150😊

Mate - buy the 1250

Did a video a few months ago with the exact same opinion ! 😊
Ha! This is what everyone said about the original GSA.
A toaster where the tank should be ,and bloody great welds in the tank. NOPE.
Tiger 1200 is also an option?
The GSA "styling" ???? is really going to promote the "GS". 2 rich for me and not that keen but the GS now looks very attractive.
completely agreed, they must be stoned to come up with this new ugly design.

the end of gs motorcycles has come as bmw designers are all clowns
Who buys a big fat ADV for looks. It’s utility. Move on or wait and cry when in two years the GSA is best selling ADV like the 1250.
marmite
Just buy a 1250 adventure , job done, why the rant, u can have what u want still plenty about
The dream has always been to buy brand new with no previous owners. The RANT was the fact that option has now gone.
@@FurryFacedBikeryou can still find a 1250 GSA new. Here in the states, there are plenty of them still available.
Don't like them
