I’ve just bought the same bike but the rallye in racing blue/black . Without doubt the best bike I’ve ever owned in 40+ years of riding .
Me to mate and yes I am 55 😂 I have only done 160 miles but me and the wife are off to wales in May so I will get my 600 miles in for its first service. And then Ireland in July. It is the first BMW Adventure I have had and it is a brilliant bike especially for me and the wife for doing long tours on. We are hoping to take it to the Norway to the Artic circle next year 🤞so for us it is the perfect bike. I still have my 1400 gsx which I have done a lot of touring on. But it was time to get something a bit more suitable for us. It’s a shame the other bikers do not want acknowledge you What is that about we are all bikers no mater what we ride. And it can certainly keep up with a lot of sports bikes. I went for the 1250 instead because it looks like adventure with its big present. I now the 1300 GS is not the adventure but it looked too small when we were both sat on it. It just did not look right for us two. But it is a brilliant bike but too many issue at the moment with it been a new version.
@@andrewmason2879 yes, my Harley road king custom is just sat collecting dust , I’m booked in for 24th May for 1st service then off to Picos mountains in northern Spain travelling down through centre of France a night in Andorra to start the pyrenees adventure.
@@user-pg1ud3cs4j sounds a cracking trip mate enjoy 👍👍 you Can not have enough bikes 😃 we still use her for days out just can not bring myself to sell . I have a lot off good memories on her 👍👍 and at least she seems to be going up in value 17 years old
Me too, pick it up next week, I cant wait. I have switched from the R1200RS, which was a class bike too.
I pick up my 1250gs exclusive tomorrow afternoon, feel like a kid at Christmas all excited, so it'll be goodbye goldwing hello gs 😊
Ooof, watching videos on it the day before just to tease yourself that little bit more 😅 great choice!
Congratulations! You are going to love this bike!
Me too now do any body have idea on mods?
I have owned 2 GS and recently bought the adventure. It’s the best all round bike on the market. The white square on the dash that you didn’t know what it was shows you the speed for the area you are in if connected to the BMW connected ride App.
It’s the perfect bike for two up riding and long trips. The state of the roads are terrible at the moment but it just soaks it all up. 👍👍
I rode nothing but superbike sports bikes for over 35yrs, you name it, I’ve had most of them. I’ve done club racing and scratched all itches but now I’m on my 4th GSA (my latest is a 24 plate GSA Trophy) and am now enjoying motorcycling from a whole new perspective. It was also a huge novelty to me to able to carry luggage and actually get to see the scenery.
No doubt! I started on 2 stroke dirt bikes then had 5 race bikes and did the track thing as well. Now on my 2nd GS a 2022 R 1250 GS 40th. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Plenty fast super comfortable. Road from Connecticut to Maine with the Mrs. What an amazing experience! My buddy has a Harley Street Glide. Took my R 1250 GS for a ride last year. He now has the 2024 R 1300 GS absolutely loves the bike. Wants to tour the world now LOL! Can't put the GS experience into words you gotta own one! Me and my buddy will be doing a ride to Canada this summer!
Great video and helpful info thanks
How far can you go on a single tank and you mentioned something about 90 mph it gets wierd. What did you mean by that? Or did I hear wrong? If I'm driving in Montana there is 80 mph speed limit on freeway. Please let me knowif it rides nicely at higher speeds! Thanks!
@@Villainitus what I mean is the engine has quite a high level of vibration above 80/90, I just did an awful job of saying that! 😂
Thanks. So in the event I "tour" at those higher speeds, I'll still be riding a "rolls royce"?
Also, how is the off road experience? Or if you are riding on a dirt road or in the rain. Does it ride well in those conditions?
Well the suspension at those speeds is still very plush. But you might get some pins and needles in the hands as the vibrations are a lot more. I think 80 is about where you notice the vibes. Off road - it’s perfects capable - but it is heavy… so as long as you’re happy throwing around 260+kg of bike in the dirt it won’t let you down.
I owned hayabusas exclusively, then stopped riding for 10 years, 4 days ago bought the 2024 R1250GSA Triple Black. First time ridong an adventure with all those high tech specs. The bike is beyond amazing. My only issue, even though i am 194cm tall, is clearing the rear seat with my leg when getting on/off.. any advice from adventure bike experts? The salesman suggested i stand with my left foot on the left peg, then get on, but i am scared lol (seat is on low, the suspension as well). Is the peg and kickstand strong enough to handle that "pressure" on them?
Foot pegs and side stand are absolutely fine to carry your weight while climbing on and off the bike (while the bike on the side stand). For years this has been the only why I get on and off my GS’s
Congratulation...
When u ride on minimum preload, does it affect handling ?
Good question, the bike will have more preload than it would in max setting so you may feel a slight difference. I don’t think you’d feel it however unless you are really going for it and pushing the bike a little.
Thank you
update - just bought one today -thnks for ur review - helps me tremendously
Great to hear! I know you’ll enjoy it so safe riding!
