My First ride on a BMW R1250GS Adventure Motorcycle

Ride with Marshall as he tries out the BMW flagship adventure bike, the R1250GSA. Also, check out the channel of the guy with the coolest GSA:

At 5"6' and a 27in leg, there's no chance of getting a leg over a hobby horse let alone a GS.

If you are experienced enough you only need one leg to flat foot at the stop lights, it is not ideal but it is doable, you can enjoy any bike don't let the height stop you. Regards!

@@SLAYER-nm5zw I understand what your saying and agree, though I can remember back in the mid 70's at a helmet law demo here in the UK 200k motorcycles took part. There was a dwarf (not sure if that's PC sorry if it's not, no ofence ment) riding a BMW R75, he would jump off at the lights, then run along up to riding speed and hop back on, the seat came up to his neck. My main problem is at my age the weight. I have a Fury like Marshall's and at 680lbs is managiable because its low. A GS1250 with the height so high, I would not hold it if it was to start tipping.

What does the GS stand for?
