I have a 2020 1250 GSA and agree with you that your confidence is increased with this bike. It is magical how this bike does not feel like such a big bike.
Outstanding review mate. Loved the humour you inject into your videos, that's for sure. Front setup is called Tele-lever suspension and the rear is called Para-lever. Works a bloody treat as it prevents front dive when braking heavily. Beautiful bike in either the GS variant or the big GS Adventure model. Both bikes are incredible long range tourers. And yes, I am in my underwear!! 🤣🤣🤣.
23:48 that "extra suspension" is actually the real suspension, inside the fork there is only oil. That's why the GS has softer suspensions than other bikes, it's a technology that BMW uses on this bike for 13 years now
You need to explore the other settings - Dynamic Pro, Enduro Pro. Also, adjust the suspension to other settings. Better wheelies to be had in Dynamic Pro. Don’t forget, the bike’s software is designed to protect you from wheelying if not in the correct setting.
@@LifeofSmokey there is a thingy under the actual seat you have to switch out on a cable below to enable Dynamic Pro (can manually adjust everything in settings) and enduro pro the same but it is tuned to knobby tires though.
Smokey, heb 4j met Smt 990 gereden, 8j met superduke 1290R, en 1j met de superduke Gt. Nu in bezit van bmw gs1250, 2023 triple black. Moet wel zeggen dat dit wel toch de heerlijkste moto is waar ik ooit heb mee gereden, op alle vlakken. Gewoon zalig, blijf je mee rijden. Grts
Tq for saving the bunny. I have one of this...the standard GS...2021 model....Rallye trim. Yes it is a good bike overall. Just enough power for me....monstrous torque though...making it easy to ride off road without the need to rev up high....i m not a good rider but the bike makes me feel like otherwise.
Road setting has anti-wheelie feature built into it. Gotta switch to Dynamic ;) Based on your riding preference... Dynamic would be your friend. Dynamic Pro gives you the ability to adjust your preferences as well. Nice vid!
I had it in road setting yesterday but i could wheelie , 2-3 and up to 4th gear when doing a wheelie. So no idea how it works. Will test it out more today 😁👌
@@LifeofSmokey you were able to wheelie in road mode because you have disabled the traction control. Switch to dynamic pro, tune the settings and have fun :D. For me which I am not able to do big wheelies it's easier if I use Enduro Pro with wheelie suppression disabled
Finally someone that actually uses the GS in a way people imagine they would when they buy the GS lool Funny hearing you compliment the BMW indicator button tho lmao, it's so bloody floppy on my S1000XR (same switchgear)
When i tried the BMW, went for the GS1200 and when they upgraded the engine That was pretty better I swapped to the GS1250 R. I enjoyed both bikes but couldn’t get “in love” with them. They were a very comfy ride, no doubts abou that but never had that sensation of being fulfilled owning each one of this bikes and I truly can’t say they’re not good bikes , because they are. But felt always that something was missing… Man! You’ve got an exquisite nail kit! Splendid off-road ride! It is really a pleasure and lot of fun to watch. You literally take out the shit off from the machines!🤣👏👏👏
@@paulyflyer8154 no m8! I was wondering how a GS would ride compared to my 1290 SAR. I'm just a new bmw media partner which means i can pick up all new motorcycles from BMW. Ride , review and give my honest thoughts. And offroad it haha :-)
Your videos are captivating; your journeys are incredible! 🌄 How do you cope with fatigue during your adventures and ensure you're always in top shape? A video on this would be fantastic!
Plastic fantastic, have a good lookaround the GS under the beak and see how its finished off.Check the quality plastics around the screen and the fuel tank.Go check and see how the upper bars are connected to the frame.I could go on, I've had atleast 7 GS and GSA last one a 1250 GS Exclusive.They ride really well but the prices have gone up and the quality has gone down.
IMO who cares what others think anyway, somebody is always going to call people out when they say something they dont agree with. Like, for example, if you do not care about money at all then go out and buy a brand new 1250GS with your own cash, show the PO, and remove all doubt.
If I will buy a GS 1250 in the future, it is because of this video! FYI, I've seen 100s of GS 1250 videos but this one has something about it! I just don't know what it is!
Hello everyone, I hope ya'll are doing fine and healthy. I had this masterpiece when I was 21 and in the Netherlands. Now I going to be 42 in August 2022 and I have Honda CRF450L Rally 2019. I named her Rúna(my icelandic woman's nickname. She delivers big time with almost all the possibilities for learning more better riding. 🌻🇮🇸
Yeah, you've nailed the GS spirit: "I gotta get out or I'm gonna die" while being within walking distance from a populated trailer park and the paved road, with cell coverage and all that. 🤣
😂😂😂 haha love it! I'm really sorry but when i go into these "adventure" my brain goes a bit far sometimes. Even if i ride to the most remote place in my country where there is absolutely nobody....it would take me like 1-2 hour walk max before i find a road or something 😂🙈
Thanx for your excellent video 👍 I am on a R9T 2016 scrambler wth 40.000 km. Looking for another bike tested some but as you said rading the 1250 is like comming home. Hope to find a black one

All these discussions about him having other youtube channels or not.. Calling it a scam... Well, I've found them all in under 5 minutes. It's actually true.
As a fellow KTM enthusiast (I have a 500exc, 690 Enduro and a 990 Adventure R) and my own motorcycle shop where I work on most brands, it’s good to see someone else take a big BMW Starbucks cruiser off road! I maintain a rental fleet that features BMW 750-1250’s and I took a new 1250 Rallye on a road trip and off road where I experienced much the same as you did. The boxer engine that makes that bike work well is also hazardous to your physical well-being! Even standing, the crash bars behind the cylinders dig into your shins!
I will never have such a motorcycle and I will never drive a bmw r1250 gs or even 1200 or 1150 because I am from Poland and my salary(it is not lowest in our country it is llike medium medium) can only cover bills and basic expenses so i can only dream about motobike like this. But i would like to thank You, mister Smokey, that You took me to this ride today. It was pleasure for me. please enjoy Your ride and share it with People. To next ride...
For all the want of getting a big adventure bike to replace my big sport touring bike, the Norden 901 still seems like a great bike and much lighter to pick up when you drop it.
The GS is not that hard to pick up. GSA a bit worse. But since they never fall down flat, it's rarely an issue. Take something like the old KTM 990 which was a real pain to pick up.
Thanks for kicking your shins - that will save me having to do it myself. That side stand is a long way forward and under a cylinder. BMW you have had decades to fix that - one job.
Thanks guys like you, I chose a BMW as the very first motorcycle in 2020 because of the revieuws. So many wrote: perfect handling, comfortable, solid, easy, ready for all use. Mine is always in eco, because it's only a 650 cc, so never enough horsepower 😂 But my next one will definitely be an Adventure 1150 , or more. I already looked up all those roads that you looked up, before I got my driver's license 🤫😁 so we have to make sure we don't crash into each other 😂 Good luck, greetings from the Goordijk, and save the bunnies, drive BMW (and Benz) 👍😄

Well you go off road without minding the type of tires you have and even worse not even adjusting the air pressure to have better traction. I do agree do not stay on the bike and jump out otherwise the bike trap your heels and then it gets bad.
@@prolska I’d like to see where that “data” comes from. I did 10,118 miles on my trip last summer, including nearly 1,300 miles in the dirt (Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean and The Top of the World Highway into Alaska). I’m doing the WYBDR this summer and Baja off-road in the Spring. Guess I’m the other 2%.

My questions is why even turn off abs. That could have saved you in most those situations where you needed more traction. Letting the abs pulse while going up hill will limit wheel slip.
ABS will not pulse unless brake is pressed. One will rarely be squeezing brake while going uphill. Maybe you mistaken it for traction control. I usually disable it on loose surface as it cuts off engine. In fact not having traction control helps going uphill as wheel is turning and pushing bike forward.
You have to try the "standard" GS, not the adventure, with knobbies and the akrapovic exhaust. It has the same power, a bit lower, 20 kg (!!) lighter and not so wide 😁👍🏼

You not have a GS, you have a GSA. It’s a different experience, on and off road. Ask BMW if he can do the 600 Miles update, then you will get the Enduro Pro mode, which makes more fun :)
Get rid of the tall windscreen if doing a lot of offroad. Your face will thank you sooner or later. Also look at doing an offroad training given by BMW itself, they have a huge Enduropark in Hechlingen Germany and you'll be able to ride big bikes offroad 10x better.
Hey Smokey looking forward to the review up against the KTM Adventure I know you love LC8S . You're the perfect one to review a big V twin against a big boxer.Glad you're a BMW media partner 🎊 Congratulations . I sure like my 21 F750 GS BMW Parallel twin , my 1st BMW.
@@LifeofSmokey I'm looking to buy 1 of three options: BMW S1000XR, KTM1290 SAS or KTM Super Duke GT.

Whats your thoughts on trk502x
you're a good rider bud, not many people take their GS's offroad like that, nice to see the bike is capable of doing it
They don't? I thought it's named "Adventure" for that reason haha. Have to say it's a bit of a workout 😅
Oh, they do, most either just don't believe them or they just don't brag about it.
Same problem with SUVs , most 4x4 V8 adventure trucks never see Africa either 👎😂😉
Most people also don’t want to risk damaging it off-road
@Life of Smokey I think they've got the looks, but let's be honest a bike that heavy was never going to be an off road kind of bike.
this is the best, most entertaining GS first ride I've ever seen. Nice!

My questions is why even turn off abs. That could have saved you in most those situations where you needed more traction. Letting the abs pulse while going up hill will limit wheel slip.
I just full throttle it most of time , i prefer old school bikes with no electronics 😁
ABS will not pulse unless brake is pressed. One will rarely be squeezing brake while going uphill. Maybe you mistaken it for traction control. I usually disable it on loose surface as it cuts off engine. In fact not having traction control helps going uphill as wheel is turning and pushing bike forward.

You not have a GS, you have a GSA. It’s a different experience, on and off road. Ask BMW if he can do the 600 Miles update, then you will get the Enduro Pro mode, which makes more fun :)
Which one is better?
Apocalypse wheels right there.
Get rid of the tall windscreen if doing a lot of offroad. Your face will thank you sooner or later.
Also look at doing an offroad training given by BMW itself, they have a huge Enduropark in Hechlingen Germany and you'll be able to ride big bikes offroad 10x better.
Lmao! Gosh, man, you are crazy! I will try to gain as much skills as you demonstrated but then I will get a GS. Awesome! Grüss Gott from England!
That funny intro man new sub
Hey Smokey looking forward to the review up against the KTM Adventure I know you love LC8S . You're the perfect one to review a big V twin against a big boxer.Glad you're a BMW media partner 🎊 Congratulations . I sure like my 21 F750 GS BMW Parallel twin , my 1st BMW.
I really like the GS but i find it to be a bit "boring"....it doesn't have that crazy edge my 1290 ktm has 😊
@@LifeofSmokey I'm looking to buy 1 of three options: BMW S1000XR, KTM1290 SAS or KTM Super Duke GT. I'm leaning towards the KTMs because of the torque and power delivery, I will only being road riding. Based on your experience which KTM would you recommend for riding around town in traffic during week and highway twisties for weekends?
Duke gt 1290 is the best adv imo
