Toggling through all riding modes and the deactivation of either and or ABS and Traction Control.

    Wow. I picked up a new 2019 R1250Gs yesterday from the dealer. It’s amazing how much of this still applies to the current model bike !

    Excellent video! Valuable information for me, who just got my 2015 R1200GSA.
    5:46 - Slight Mistake??. - The increase when using the cruise control is 2.5 km/hr per press. - pressing it four times will get you from 70km/h -to 80km/h
    At least on the 2015 R1200GSA

    I have a 2010 Multistrada 1200S, which I bought new almost three years ago to the day. While I love that bike, I find it too delicate for the type of riding I want to do. Silly things (like the turn signal stalks) break, and it drives me crazy. I've always had a longing eye towards BMW's GS motorcycles, but they never had the performance I was looking for. Well, after test riding a 2013 water-boxer I can say that performance is no longer an issue, and I am really digging the new machine!

    To set a pillion, do you need to go into setup? For me, pressing the suspention button only moves between Dyna and Road.

    The previous GS wasn't exactly a bare bones motorcycle. How far back in the history of the GS line do you have to go to find one that had the right amount of gizmos? Time marches on, and so does technology. When fuel injection came out, there were people lamenting that as well. My only issues with "gizmos" is their complexity; specifically with regard to the home mechanic not being able to service it themselves. BMW has been building over-complicated bikes for decades.

    if you don't want the gizmos, then just buy a dirt bike?

    Do you really need all this high tech on a bike. It looks a bit complicated. Never been on a gs 1200 yet.

  • @opmike343
    @opmike343 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    "Need" is the wrong choice of words, especially on a motorcycle nearing 20 grand.
