Why didn't you do a symmetrical setup? There is more than enough space for a 38L bag on the right side. Other companies like Shad, touratech, hepco and baker, Bumot, andetc are doing symmetrical setups.

Any updates regarding the shipment of the first batch in Europe? Planned in June, then the end of June. Order is still showing as "Ordered' and that's just it. No Order Ready / In Transit or Out for Delivery.

are there any leaks for the 1300 gs adventure? how the bike looks or what features does it have?

Really hope you guys figure out a way to ensure this new lock system can be retrofitted to your soft luggage locks. Seriously, we can't keep inventing new locks for each product. Ill end up with a bunch of keys where with other products ill have 1

I prefer the looks of the grand 1250 GS, and if given the opportunity I would buy one over the 1300 GS! Great video too

very good thorough joba bud, thanks for sharing!

I like a GS 1250 adv because it's very smart and nice to see

I love that you did 2up (my main interest in either bike), but we didn't hear much from the passengers. Is there any way to record all 4 voices next time, while riding, so r can hear the pillion point of view as well as the riders?

Great video Alex. And great video quality!!!

Great review Mate. Truly and honestly this is what you want. One and only to see ! Reqlly in depth anf in detail just the one if you are thinkingvof buying one. Thank you. Keep going same way.

Congrats on the nice videos! Regarding the bike , a big NO from me! Even the title of this video wisely matches the bikers' general feeling and invites people who believe that BMW has gone the wrong way. This is not an adventure motorcycle, is a general sport touring motorcycle mainly suitable for one (short) person, not two with luggage. It is also a very ugly motorcycle, no one so far in my knowledge made a statement that this is a beautiful bike! I drove the bike, it lost the plush quality and comfort feeling of the GS. And it is VERY UGLY. I believe I had a great idea and I propose the same to you. Keep your old GS and buy a S1000r or similar to get the real agility and fun. GS is the touring adventure bike that can take you to nice places in comfort alone or with your partner and luggage. In BMW they sell also agile enduro, it is the F900GS. Sport bikes they sell as well, s1000 range. The R1300GS is in my opinion a marketing mistake executed from bad designers and will be soon revised from BMW.

I mean, you're compairing an older R1250GS ADV to a newer R1250GS with sport configurations. IMO, that's like comparing a 2022 Ford F 150 Lariat to a 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. To me, the difference between a GS ADV and any other GS is that great. The GS ADV is the full size model, like an F 150. The regular GS is the mid size, like a Ranger. The GS HP, Sport, or Rallye is like a Ranger Raptor, a special edition of the mid sized.

I have a 2019 R1250GS HP that is paid off, I've added extras, crash bars and (not to play favorites) several Lone Rider accessories. I just can't see that switching to a R1300GS and starting all over is so great it's worth starting all over with payments. Even if I traded my 1250GS in for a 1300GS and paid the difference I would still have to spend thousands and wait for accessories to be made to get it where I want it.

Great content! But why compare the 1300 with the 1250 Adventure? This makes no sense. Most arguments of the conclusion are weight related. As there is no 1300 Adventure yet, the comparison should have been with a 1250 non-Adventure.

Wow. Hey don’t forget to review the new upcoming 1300 GSA vs a 1250 GS. Kay? 🍏 vs 🍊

Hopefully this will keep the 1250s prices buoyant, good test, thank you

What is the advantage of such a large bike when adventure riding?

Great video! I think the 1300gs without sport suspension, basically the DSA version would be a better comfort/touring comparison. The seat height is a bit lower and the suspension is not as stiff. Also, the Trophy version offers great wind protection.

The gear ratio in 6th on the 1300 is higher than that of the 1250, hence the similarity in 6th gear roll-on. In all other gears the 1300 is a bit faster. They’re both great bikes but the GSA is just too tall and heavy for me!

Personally i think they would have just changed only the power output but maintained the 1250 Outlook

There's alot of work and thought which has went into making this video in order to be fair in assessing each bike. I have a 2023 R1250 GSA and I agree with the findings because I feel the correct conclusion has been reached without any bias in the assessment process. This outcome I think would also be in keeping with the manufacturer design objectives because we are comparing the more sporty form of the GS with an Adventure version. The test ride was sensibly based on two up which I think generally better lends itself to these GS machines. I conclude this has been an excellent video compilation with serious work input plus sensible comment from the group. I look forward to when the R1300 GSA arrives on scene and we then compare bikes with identical manufacturers design objectives. Excellent English language spoken through out the test and a pleasure to have watched. 👍👍👍👍

I love your videos. This was a great one as always I’m a big 1250 fan. Getting one in a few months can't wait

Waiting for the 1300GSA, it looks NOTHING like the 1250gsa, and not similar to the 1300gs.

1250gs king

BMW 1250 is good en BEYOUTFULL

Very informative comparison. I am probably a little biased as I ride a 2023 GSA but it appears to me that BMW have concentrated on the sportier aspects when developing the 1300. I am not interested in riding a sports biased bike anymore and think their development team have focused their efforts in the wrong area. Losing some weight from the 1250 but maintaining its comfort, wind protection and handling would have been more worthwhile.

I don't like that you're comparing a GSA to a GS. They are both different in their own capacity. Get a 1300GSA and do it again.

I rarely ever take time to comment on videos but I just had to. This is a wonderfully put together video. You can tell alot of time went into conceptualizing it. I loved the bikes, the riders, and more so the opinion of the passengers. Please make more of such. Also exemplary drone work. Thank you Sirs and Ma'ams

Moto Mader, best Dealer in Switzerland! I bought my 1200 GS there! I don’t like the new 1300 GS…for me theres only the 1200 and 1250!

Thank you for the video! Let's organize a vote. I'm in favor of the GS 1250 Adv. It's the most amazing bike I've ever ridden.

i think you should do a comparison of the 1250 gsa and the 1300 gsa when it comes out .comparing the 1250 gsa to the 1300 gs in my eyes is a no go as there two different bikes

It seems there is an overall consensus on your findings. For anyone with a 1250, moving to the 1300 doesn't seem like a good decision. Considering the quirks on new product launch, waiting for the 3rd-4th generation might be a smart decision.

Great video! Yes, please do the same when the new adventure comes out.

very good and interessting review👍

Hello Alex, je me doutais du résultat, car la comparaison entre une GS et une GSA biaise le résultat. il aurait mieux valu comparer entre une 1300GS et une 1250GS, la différence serait moins sensible. ceci dit, j'ai gardé ma 1250GS pour les voyages exclusivement routiers et ma 1300GS Trophy me sert pour l'off-road.😉

I own a 1250 GS, but I am on tour in Corsica presently riding the 1300 GS. The 1300 GS is stellar in the mountain road environment. However, the engine at idle and lower speeds sounds like a bucket of bolts, the riding position is more cramped and less comfortable for me than the 1250, and while (unlike many) I do think the bike is attractive, I still prefer the more robust and less generic look of the 1250. The panniers and top case I think are a step backwards for the 1300. So I am sticking with the 1250. Also on this tour are Ducati MS V4S, Ducati Desert X, Triumph Tiger 1200 and 900 Rally Pro, BMW S1000XR, and Honda Africa Twin. Other bikes may look prettier or sound better, but for me the GS is still the best all-round with its balance, low speed handling, comfort, and ability to do it all very well. The V4S FREAKING ROASTED ME yesterday…it throws off sooooo much heat.

Awesome Video Guys

I got a 23 GSA here in the States.. love it . 5000 miles on and will have over 10k by the end my first year with it. Been flawless..

Yoo have to compare the 1300 with standard 1250.

Who did handle the camera, a fifth person or a drone?

Just wondering, is it really the 1250gsa a better bike for long touring or are we talking only about the seat that seems to be more comfortable on 1250gsa? It's easy to change only the seat on 1300gs and make it equally comfortable, or not? . And if we changed the seat only, would 1250gsa be still a better bike?

And hourlong video looking at two up riding had me really interested. Why were we 54 minutes in before we heard anything from the pillions? My wife and I ride as a team, I was hoping to have a lot more input from your passengers.

the passenger seat on the 1250 looks more comfortable to me, i thought it funny the passengers commenting on the weight of the bike i doubt you can tell as a passenger

enjoyed the comparison as I am moving from my VFR 800X back to a BMW for my 70th birthday and will go with the 1250gsa as a normal day ride is 300-400klm and want the more comfortable bike

Thank for all the effort your team put into this productive and captivating video! It sure does check all the boxes that we all been wondering! Yes please, R1300GSA review would be deeply appreciated! Easily the most unbiased and pleasurable to watch! Blessed day to everyone!

I ride a 1200 GS, comparing regular GS to GSA is kind like comparing apple to an orange. I chose my regular GS for less weight and bulk. So 1300 GS would be my choice over a 1250 GSA. If I wanted the extra fuel and the offroad protection, tires suspension, adventure boxes and was happy with the extra weight. the GSA would make sense. Otherwise the more road orientated smaller lighter 1300 GS would be the choice between a GS or GSA. I would have been much more interested in a comparison of the 1300 GS to 1250 GS. My 20ltr tank made it the 250 miles or 400 K to Eagle Plains. Name 1 road in Western Europe where there is more than 400 K between gas stations. Comfort on the new 1300 is a concern as is its reduced fuel tank. do i upgrade to a used 1250 or spend more for a new1300. I already know I don't need a GSA. Unless you are suggesting a GSA is a better 2 up touring bike than a GS. Which might be the case for some people.

viewers are sayin brakes are fine - you guys a need stronger grip😲

Interesting. I’ve seen a few different videos showing virtually no performance difference between the 1250 and the 1300. They all say the 1300 FEELS faster, but in reality there appears to be very little in it.

Great comparison. Some people on here say it's not fair, but it's what I needed to decide which one I am looking to purchase. I'm an average height of 5'9" 176cm) and I was looking at the New 24 low suspension 1250 GS and a 1300 GS. I also felt the 1250 easier to put my feet flat and liked the bigger tank so I could travel in remote areas without having to carry extra fuel .love the videos. I live in South Carolina USA.
