There is a bit of that alright, but BMW are known for making less than handsome bikes with only 1 exception the S1000RR. I’m trying to grow the channel I’d really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.
It will be late Sept to early of before I can get a test ride and will try the manual and auto versions, and you never know I might evolve and get the auto. I’m trying g to grow the channel, I would appreciate a like and a new subscriber..
I’ve gold wheels on my 2021 GSA and they look class but impossible to keep and get clean, for looks gold, for ease of use black. I’m trying to grow the channel I’d really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.
There is a bit of that. BMW are disrupter’s and always break convention with their designs, I’ll get a test ride shortly and will try the manual and auto version and you never know this old dog might learn a new trick. I’m trying to grow the channel I would appreciate a like and a new subscriber..

@@Getting-On thanks - I definately wont be buying in, I cant stand the std 1300 and was hoping the gsa would be inspiring but for me its an even bigger fail so the 1250 is my last for sure. I just find the aesthetics of the new bikes awful, its mostly the very poorly executed slab of cheap plastic covering the cruise "radar" sensor but there are other areas too which I find quite disappointing. They will go well for sure - as they should - but not for me. For big money I expect a tertific looking machine I want to look at but this I would just use like a car as a mode of getting places without giving a second glance ..... but I would actually give it more than a second glance and be thinking its ugly as fcuk ... 😲 ! Thats not biking,.... to me anyway.
@@GPR111 I would not be too fond on the GS either, i thinks its lists its adventure and off road edge, gone a bit to road biased, also not fond of the loss of the rear light for the integrated indicators. The GSA on the other hand is growing on me, and after seeing it in the flesh im moving towards one, Ill probably leave it for 2025 and buy in 2026, im not being a free test user for BMW, especially for the ASA.
@@Getting-On yes spot on about being a 'tester', I would give it a very good distance too before investing real money, and its only real world use which really digs deep and finds weaknesses in brand new hardware
@@GPR111 Fully agree, and in the modern world we live in we are so heavenly marketed new products and must haves, and looked down upon for not having the Newest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy and now not having the newest GS/GSA. I work in IT and we UAT (User Acceptance Testing) before we launch new hardware or software, maybe the auto industry to should be more heavily invested in UAT and get their products right the 1st time (or dam well close to 100%)
This was first time I heard "predator headlight". I was going to trade my 2022 r1250gs for the 1300gsa. But instead I bought another ugly vehicle. A 2025 BMW m440i. Everybody the hated m440i when it first arrived in 2021. Because it was ugly, myself included. Same with this GSA. I'll grow on you, then you'll like, then you'll crave it.
@@jimthompson717 compare to the predators teeth, sort of look the same, plenty of pics for comparison, BMW are not noted for pretty things, but the ugly grows on you. Id never give up a bike for a car, unless necessity insisted. I’m trying to grow the channel, id really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.
I sold my 2014 GSA because, much as I liked it, in traffic it was just too wide low down. Why are the crash bars so wide with that odd loop attached? An anti-cyclist device? Sorry, but this is what Frankenstein would make.
They are a wide bike alright. The wings on the low crash bars are to remove the need to upper bars, and a bonus as a better leg rest. On bikes we have the ability to give the cyclists a wide hearth so not an issue there. Bar the S1000RR all other BMW motorcycles are ugly, but someone needs to love the ugly child.

That bike makes me love my 2023 GSA even more. BMW is driving me to a Ducati for the next bike. The new GSA was beat with an ugly stick.

The question is : gold wheels or black…

Old farts gonna love this one, I like bikes that can actually turn and stay true to their purpose.

Did you leave a deposit??
I sped’d 2 up, 33-35k with luggage, ouch Had to leave before I did. I’ll be back next month for a test ride and will try the manual and auto versions
Yuk. Not inspired at all to move onto one of these from 1250gsa. Think I am done with gs ownership when present bike is ready for change.
