The BMW R 1300 GS is more powerful compared to the BMW R18. The R 1300 GS produces 143 hp, whereas the R18 only delivers 91 hp. Although the R18 has higher low-end torque (158 Nm vs. 140 Nm), the peak torque of the R 1300 GS comes at higher RPMs, providing more sustained power across different speeds. This means the R 1300 GS will accelerate faster, have a higher top speed, and climb hills more easily than the R18. The low-end torque of the R18 makes it ideal for relaxed riding and cruiser style. These are different needs and purposes. The R 1300 GS excels in off-road and adventure touring scenarios, while the R18 shines in a more laid-back, classic cruiser experience. Both bikes are impressive in their own right, just designed for different riding styles.
A dumbed down bike, made ugly, which will enable riders with low skills to ride it! Give me any 1100, 1150, 1200, 1200WC or 1250WC GS and I’m a happy owner. The new 1300’s?…no thanks I’d rather buy a Triumph or older GS. Sorry Motorrad, rather hire a CFMoto designer to design the next GS and I’ll look at them again.
@@MotoLogues I’m actually a GS fanboy, I have a 1200 and have had 2 before this bike. My next GS is a 1250 Rally, I just don’t like the new direction they’ve taken, nor do any of my GS mates! Maybe the BMW car designer that made the car nostrils (kidney grill) is now designing their motorcycles. After owning eight 3-Series on the trot, they too have just become too ugly so I’m driving an Audi A4!
Got it, you’re definitely a dedicated GS fan! It’s tough when a brand takes a new direction, especially when you and your mates have such strong preferences. And who knows, maybe BMW will rethink their design choices in the future. Thanks for sharing your journey and insights!
Still ugly and cheap looking ( and not as "overall" accomplished in real world as 1250 ) - unless you must must have the latest thing with a bit more power and sportier (read quicker) steering. Its certainly a step backwards in comfort for me. At least the new 1300gsa is even more ugly from what I have seen. As you guessed I wont be buying either.... I must be the generation of BMW owner the factory dont need anymore 😉

Got the GSA1250 Trophy… got to say I like it 👍
Nice choice! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! 👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fire these designers
I see you have strong feelings about the design. It's definitely a topic that sparks debate! 😆
The most powerful boxer engine ever made? What about the R18?

Prezzi folli
So far, thats just an estimate, but Im pretty sure it wont be much different from the actual release price. So, yeah...
Big heavy ugly bike, 1300cc off road adventure bike @ 260+ Kg, no thanks
Its weight isn't much different from the previous GS, and BMW says the current series has better weight distribution
A lot of people are saying this design is cool, even better than the previous GS series. It all comes down to taste :)

Sounds like you're a fan of the classics! Thanks for sharing your preferences. Maybe BMW will take some design tips from CFMoto in the future! 😅

Sounds like the new models havent won you over. Guess they're aiming for a different vibe now, but some people still seem to like it. 😉
Fow as fuck
Looks like it made quite an impression! Thanks for the feedback! 😎
