- When my local BMW dealer , North Oxford Garage, offered to lend me their New BMW GSA, it was an opportunity too good to miss! With the demonstrator in high demand they, understandably, asked that I have the bike for the day , rather than the 3 or 4 I normally take to review a bike . These are my first impressions...

Nice dude another coffee stop for you the grain store middle Aston we gave it 9/10 👍🏼👍🏼
Always looking for coffee stops 👍
Nice Michael! Your camera game has really gotten good. I enjoy your smooth riding style and pleasant voice. Now I've got the song "Smooth Operator" stuck in my head. Also that top box looks big enough to put all three of my granddaughters in! Although I would require sound suppression too. Grandpa what's that, Grandpa can we go over there, Grandpa I want........ lol That big gas tank would be great for over here in the Great Plains. Sometimes it's a long ways between stops. Great way to distract me from election day!
It's refreshingly distinctive which is great. If I wasn't a 5'9 shortarse and had 25k down the back of the sofa I'd love one.
😂 You could ride it at 5’9 … the 25 K may challenge a few of us !

Good review and comparison with your bikes. Like your route but that mud, I'll avoid the Stow road when it's wet.
Good to hear from you Richard . The road with the most mud is the Lechlade to Faringdon road … pretty grubby at the moment !
Thanks for the tip. Saw a lot of big adventure bikes out in the Cotswolds on Saturday afternoon. I guess the NO GSA demo day was popular.
@ They had every colour option in the showroom . Looked pretty busy ..
having tried adaptive cruise to me now standard old cruise seems like an unfinished system ... like having a car with power windows in front and wind up ones at the rear! 🙂
@@andylewis210 😂 bottomless budget ? I would agree …
Wow the price is eye-watering as is the tec, the weight and everything else, it's not for me but it's not aimed at me. As for the looks all i can say is it's definitely been on the ugly pills. It's the opposite of everything i look for in a bike but each to their own, you pays your money etc.
@@ianhalliwell8604 The GSA has always divided opinion . Some love them , others wouldn’t give it garage space 😂🤷🏼♂️
I think it's a great replacement for the 1250
@@johnalbone3372 I do too . Really liked my R1250 . A very good bike but I do prefer my 1300GS .
What’s better Michael, 1300gs or 1300gsa?
@@dmsridertv For me , the GS but for bigger riders or riders who prefer bigger bikes , the GSA might suit them better . 👍
dont like the bike how it looks and to expensive i rather buy v strom and never have headache
@@solidsnake3861 I like the VStrom . I must do , I bought one!
I also think the new GS models are very good bikes . The “old” 1250 dominated the big adventure / Tourer market for years . I would be surprised if the new one doesn’t , at some point , do the same . Not everyone likes them , but they are popular ..
