I think the pannier-rack works better for me as on the 1250GSA; now it is symmetrical..... Agree with you on "project-management"...... but I also see "light at the end of the tunnel"..... In november 2024, I was informed that my panniers for my 1300GSA were expected somewhere in quarter 2 of 2025...... but last week I got my 2 side panniers (live in the Netherlands)! Also see other owners getting theirs..... seems, they are catching up.
It’s a shame people buy these bikes, these companies, land rover have done the same they are prioritising profit over keeping loyal customers happy, the 1250 was phenomenal and just perfect, the would always sell them no issues, but they’ve ruined it and it’s people buying the dam things that’s the issue they need to learn that they have cocked up and back track but they won’t because people still buy them
These are somewhat minor issues - still a perfect off road ADV bike for me. Biggest issue for me is that they did not get panniers released with the bike. Looking forward to my first BDR with it in two week! Unfortunately not with BMW bags
@@Matsridesoffroadthat’s fair enough I understand, for me I will never buy another gsa again my 2024 gsa is the most precious motorcycle in the world to me now. I know I’m not alone in that feeling. Sadly the bike has lost its iconic ness with this move BMW have made I feel they should have upgraded the bike but being true to its heritage and iconicness. Same as Land Rover they bought out disco 5, great car but in all modern ways bit it’s not iconic same as the new defender it’s not an iconic car. It’s just another good SUV
@@motolover5697 oh no I disagree, it’s less comfortable for rider and passenger, I’m not as keen on the gearing ratios more set up for performance then torque as the older bikes were. Not a GSA ish as it should be but hey ho people will buy them. And also very ugly bike. And a lot feel that way it’s got very mixed opinions and more negative then positive.

I agree, and I am very happy to hear that they have started to make deliveries of the panniers. Thank you for sharing

@Daniel1250-g8q it hasn't lost anything, it just looks different and older riders have problems adapting to the new look.

@Daniel1250-g8q No GS was ever beautiful.
