    I traded my XR for the GS. The XR is a comfortable sports bike. Very capable. The buzz at highway speeds and inline4 howl at 6k for hours was too much. The GS is a capable cruiser w/ great handling, better wind protection, and loafs along at 80mph. GS handles my wife on the back better as well. If you ride solo in the twisties…. XR all day long.

      I’ve had both the XR and GS Adv but only toured on the GS. I loved the XR and it was a hoot on the twisties but I couldn’t imagine doing the tour across Europe that I did on my GS. I’m not a boxer engine fan but the GS is an amazing tourer. The inline four is just a f*** ton of fun but the mileage wasn’t great so I have to say the GS for touring.

      Great engine, great comfort, great tech, really top heavy making low speed and parking lot maneuvers sketchy, tendency to wander at vigorous highway speeds brought me back to the RT.

      @kostaschaldoupis8522 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ivanhoe4766 The only negative aspect is the heavy weight in low maneuver. You should service the front suspension if you had wobbling at high speed. It's a touring tank that can follow SS bikes in corners and can drag any bike in lights. Main while it will please every wife in every trip, except off road (it was never my favorite, personally). Overall, it's the best motorcycle money can buy if you have very-very high expectations in fast hyper luxury touring usage. Please, people, dont compare the shitty Goldwing with the K1600GT cause you will not have a clue what you're comparing with.

      @keithwaller4545 depends on the riders size as well. It's not the easiest bike in short riders. You need to be beautiful and handsome to ride a K1600GT. That's a reality :))))

    Currently own an R1250RS and have a deposit down on the new MXR. Wish they had an RS in this tour line up. That bike always seems to be the neglected child of the the BMW line up! Haha
    This will be interesting though to give perspectives of both. Going to dedicate my RS for touring and the MXR for tearing up the local twisties. Only gripe is the lack of any cowl cubby or small storage space is excruciating. Those kidney bean saddle bags on the MXR are absolutely ridiculous and a HARD pass. Miss the days when bikes all used to come with a small cubby space for small items. Cheers m8!

    Been on an XR for 2 years now, done 3 biggish tours and it's a brilliant bike. Last 2 trips I started having a few electrical problems, after stopping for fuel or at a peage the screen goes blank and the engine cuts out. It's happened about 8 times in the last 18 months or so, bike starts again and after a few seconds dies again. Sometimes it takes over an hour to sort itself out, BMW have had it in twice and found nothing on diagnostics, so nothing can be done! Can't live with that so I have part exed for a 2024 GSA Rallye, have had GSes in the past and really enjoyed them. So I have a brand new GSA in the garage with 60 miles on the clock and realised I have made a fuckin huge mistake, after 2 years on an XR this thing feels horrible. The industrial tractor feeling engine, the nasty quickshifter, XR quicksifter is sublime. The wallowy handling is a bit disconcerting, the dull dull engine, pulls ok low down but meeeh! Thought his would all suit me now i'm getting on, it really fuckin does'nt though, I want that mad in line four back again. Spoken to the misses and i'm off to BMW in the morning to see if a deal can be made on a new XR, think I might be getting bent over and punished financially but you only live once

    LCR, Got a question. I just rode a R1250GSA for 4 days, over 700miles with a passenger. I did it because I'm interested in buying one. However, after riding it, I realized I can't buy it. The buzzy feeling from the bike above 4500rpm was terrible. Even my wife said the passenger seat and grabrails buzzed so much that it made her numb. My hands and arms were going numb on the interstate. The quick shifter is very harsh and clunky unless its 4th going to 5th and 6th. Lower than 4th it was terrible. The front wheel followed any grove in the road and wondered around. I realized that the 1250 is not for me. How is the 1300 compared to the 1250 in those areas I mentioned?

    Just ridden back from Germany Luxembourg France etc on my 1250rt great bike, great roads, came back here (uk) and was immediately reminded of how the roads here are AWFUL! I was out the seat on the rt a few times from lumps bumps and potholes .. Just tested the gs13 .. deposit paid .. lighter and more compliment and gives nothing away with regards to weather protection from the wind compared to the rt . It's lighter easier to live with more power and yeah just bloody awesome. Xr I'd say is too much for the UK roads, torque is where it's at, plus as I get older I want less drama.

    Had a number of 4 cyl BMWs as courtesy bikes (S1000R, S1000XR and S100RR) whilst my K1600GT or R1200R LC Sport have been in for servicing. Totally agree with a number of other comments; white-finger inducing vibration and constant howling from the exhaust makes them totally unsuitable for touring. Fine for a quick Sunday afternoon "blast" which I guess is what most will be used for, but tiring and frankly annoying for actually going anywhere.
    The K1600GT, actually not much more expensive than a well specced RT or GS, is far superior solo, and on a different planet touring with pillion. Plus the K's seat height is sensible for anyone less that 5' 10", in fact that was one reason I bought one over an R1200RT SE. A K1600GT may be just over £20k, but you can see where you're your money's gone, a 1200/1250 RT isn't much cheaper or actually much different to a £4k R1150, except it's not as well made.

    Filtering is legal / illegal in France (well yeah, that is France)… Although legally forbidden, it was generally practiced by motorcyclists, and generally (not always…) accepted by law enforcement forces. It has been legally tested the last 3 or 4 years in something like 20 “départements” (where there are big cities, with traffic jams all day long).
    The testing was two years, that became 3, and now until after the Olympics… and rumors say 3 or 4 years were not enough and they will need a few more years.

    The R 1250 RT is definately the best handling tourer.The goldwing and the K 1600 are too heavy.

    I'll take the GS, I've recently tried the 2024 XR and the seat is a bit better than the old model (2022) but it's still uncomfortable after an hour, come on BMW, this is a great bike, but the seat still sucks 👎

    Best touring BMW? That'll be the RT Chopsy and you should have included it to avoid the accusation of bias!
    My 1200RT is super comfortable, has an electric windscreen, loads of luggage space and returns 60 mpg plus has a useful 25 litre tank - none of your 19 litre examples...
