bmw is making you like an ugly bike thats smaller heavier. with a terribly noisy engine its aimed at the sports riding plebs who prefer ktms and dukes its garbage the info say its lower center of gravity because gearbox is underneath what a load of tosh to put the box underneath means the main engine has to go up its a con i rode it backto back with my 22. gsa and i can say its not great my gsa stays with me no need to change bm now dont make any bike i would like to bye by bye bm
It does grow on you after a while. It’s a bike version of the JLR defender. Looks better on the road. As with the R18, it’s got a lot of road presence.
The main issue is People hate change. Thats the biggest thing. I think the 1300 GS and GSA looks awesome. I'm getting one soon. The only issue I see is the switch panel.
You make some good points. This GSA is a hippo! At the same time the 1300 GS with an Enduro Package and Sport Suspension is still one pound lighter than my 2021 F850 GSA. That's a huge engine upgrade minus one pound coming in at 542 lbs.
I keep and eye on 1300 stock every few days. You have been able to walk in and buy a 1300 GS easily for most the year. If you want a custom order you have to wait
I really do hope it grows on me, but I'm so damn happy with my 2023 R1250 GSA and the fact that I did not wait for this new attempt at a "next era" bike. Sometimes wanting to be mainstream goes very wrong...
I do like the GSA look and your opening comment re the GSA being a proper bike finally, compared to the GS is exactly what I said to my mate BUT.... Cant wait for the new R1400 GSA
I don't like the look of the 1200 or 1250 GS. I do like the look of the 1300 GS. Now I don't like the look of the GSA, I think the tank looks ridiculous, like it has tumours on the sides. I don't think these big adventure bikes are really for off road adventure, maybe they make great all roads touring bikes, but it is just silly to think these are off road bikes.
The shape of the tank is all about getting us used to a future EV bikes looks with their batteries. Just like SUV cars got us used to cars with with huge thick chassis, so EV cars would look normal. You heard it here first...
Great stuff, if you've got loads of money and that's what you really want. Heck. It's each to their own after all. After checking this lump out I think I might be swaying towards an electric scooter or even a pair of roller skates.
test rode the gsa yesterday not for me noisy as hell cramped riding ergos. suspension too hard menus are a joke its a bike aimed at a different rider to me i am relieved as i dont need to find the cash to swap
I am now guessing that you did not sell your 1250. The video of you and your wife (?) 'singing' while riding the 1300 was just a musical interlude. Now, the new GSA ... have read some outrageous comments: It looks like Legos; The panniers on the front got crushed when it ran into a Hippo; The front looks like an A/C unit. All wonderfully marvelous, though I did notice BMW took a clue from Triumph (the horror) and put exhaust vents for the radiators. Anyways, ugly as hell. Glad I have my Tiger 1200. Almost forgot ... The lead in with the Turd Wrangler really set the tone for your opinion of the GSA. Absolutely brilliant! Ned, SC, USA
Don’t get the “ I want one” feeling like when I first saw my 1250 adventure…. It just doesn’t look right… like a box on wheels…. Maybe it’s different in person
This has the be the best review chanel on the internet. I can wait to change my tiny women-sized r1200gs for this monster, and show everybody the size of my new shaft.
Have actually ridden the 1300 the looks are the least of it’s problems The engine is noisy the gearbox it worse than the 1250 and the wining transmission on overrun is very annoying and this is the first BMW with bad fueling at low speed. I think we will get used to the looks over time but I’ve decided to buy one of the last 1250s. The best GS ever!!!!
You said it months back … this is the rhino, the Big One. Well BMW have got together with CAT, Tonka, and Swiss Army Knife and produced a utilitarian bike which I really like. Just watch it sell 👍
Yep. Everyone said the last one was a Tonka too. So I guess it’s the same spirit. I too am very interested to see which one sell. They are very expensive though
Absolutely brilliant.... Tell it like it is and still has no real backlight either... (1250 GS and R100GS PD owner) now I cannot undo 'turd burgler' everytime I see a GSA1300😂😂
Yeah dude! Your’re definitely smarter, clever, brighter than all the engineers out there! Blah blah blah….shouting and saying nothing. What have you been doing for this world and with what did you came up on the market? Why did you not flew out in Bayern and did directly there a review? Come on man…. Do not be a hater
Only because I already own the standard 1300 GS, and it's been a phenomenal motorcycle I have to disagree with you on your assessment of it. However, I totally agree with you on this GSA! What a hideous looking POS! I will never get used to it, just like I will never get used to a cyber truck…
Well at least all that extra girth on the new GSA will make it easy for you to pick er up when you drop er on your big adventure........ to Starbucks or some other popular spot to stare at your bike.... Can slightly stomach the GSA version, b ut does it really need to be that efen wide... The profile on the green reminds me of a Zero
Too many influencers are deathly scared of offending BMW and never getting invited to a press event again. Thus, they sold their soul, all excited about the love child of a Pan America and a Lego block. Integrity…none. So, where are we on this now? It looks like crap. However, the mounting points for gear are actually smart. Is that enough of a selling point? Nope. I’ll stick with the 1200/1250 GSA. Looks better, does 99% of what the new one does. Also, yes, I do like a clutch lever….
FUGLY is the new BMW design language but I guarantee you after sometime it’ll grow on you….. G8X was hideous when it was first launched but today everyone seems to love it…….lets give it sometime……
Wtf is he going on about... its 5 kg its 4kg its 6 kg who cares? It can be 700kg ... once u ride it they all light as fuck... who cares about numbers when handling is great? Its like harleys are 400kg or whathever but u ride em like they are kidds toys... all this motorbikes... i think more important is centre of gravity.. not numbers..
Just so you can follow along. The point is it’s a new bike and they made it heavier. I will draw it in crayon next time for you. A lot people care and have said so.
Agree with everything you said except that it looks OK.........It looks like a illegitimate offspring from some orgy between a Lego kit and a German WW2 panzer tank. It has to be the ugliest thing on two wheels , even uglier than the Harley Pan America .... actually it makes the PanAm look good . Anyway keep up the great honest reviews ( until they come to take you away to a Stalig Camp somewhere in siberia anyway.)
Lol, say it as it is, classic !! Watch out the sizist police will get you :) I'm a fukin little hobbit !!! Lol, theres a certain youtuber that I know, who loves his 1300gs lol, I wont be able to keep a straight face when I see him next lol. When I see him riding his new shaft it reminds me of going to that funeral/wedding wearing your dads suit when ur 12yr old.
My first thoughts, it’s like having a ugly girlfriend, it might be a good ride if you only take her out after dark and your buddy’s don’t know about her, my second thoughts I’d really just soon have a ugly girlfriend, I’ll be holding on to my 23 GSA 😢 shame on BMW I’m sure they will blame there declining sales on something else besides what there engineering department has done just wait a year !!
Being a VStrom man I know I'm not in much of a position to criticise looks, but OMFG that thing looks hideous. "A tank with a tumour" said someone quoted by Big Rock Moto. I wouldn't take one for free..... ok I would but I'd sell it before I put a mile on it. I'm scarlet for BMW .... scundered..... embarassed ..... mortified.
In one year time, this thing will become beauty, and sales will be pure success. I'm sure.
We will find out soon enough
Agreed! People hate change, but they warm to it eventually. Looks aside, this is a refined state-of-the art motorcycle.
Exactly 😂
bmw is making you like an ugly bike thats smaller heavier. with a terribly noisy engine its aimed at the sports riding plebs who prefer ktms and dukes its garbage the info say its lower center of gravity because gearbox is underneath what a load of tosh to put the box underneath means the main engine has to go up its a con i rode it backto back with my 22. gsa and i can say its not great my gsa stays with me no need to change bm now dont make any bike i would like to bye by bye bm
I absolutely enjoyed this video. Spot on with your analysis also.
Good On Ya Mate!!!
Thanks my man
Hideously Fugly are the 2 words that come to my mind. I recon my 2023 R 1250 GS has strongly increased in value……YEA!!!!
The 1300 GSA definitely elevated the 1250 GSA to legendary status
@@thefika Give it a year and then we'll see if you're right. I think the new design, this new character, will find its fans.😊
Just watched the rest of this, you are spot on with your summary and hilarious as well. Top man 😂
Damn that thing stinks. What have they smoked at BMW
They forgot to hire Italian designers.
Some good stuff 👍
Smokin’ some really good shit laced with acid maybe?
It does grow on you after a while. It’s a bike version of the JLR defender. Looks better on the road. As with the R18, it’s got a lot of road presence.
I like the looks 👍
It looks like LEGO
Yep
The main issue is People hate change. Thats the biggest thing.
I think the 1300 GS and GSA looks awesome. I'm getting one soon. The only issue I see is the switch panel.
Just what I needed for starbucks rides
Woof
You might even be able to go to an independent organic coffee shop with this one!
You make some good points. This GSA is a hippo! At the same time the 1300 GS with an Enduro Package and Sport Suspension is still one pound lighter than my 2021 F850 GSA. That's a huge engine upgrade minus one pound coming in at 542 lbs.
Thanks for sharing that
It can F off as it’s the Fiat Multipla of the bike world.
Hehehe
God… Not the proudest moment of Italian design 😂
You’re absolutely spot on sir. Great video 👍
Cheers Bruv
How do you unsee something?
lol. 😂 this
😂how..?
Is a beautiful Motorcycle and a hell of a beast. This will sell like crazy.
Sales are down but....
Shouldn’t the top box be at the back???
Weeee
The bike looks like 2 giant key fobs were attached to the frotn.
Nice one
I cannot unsee those BM key fobs !
What have they done ??
I’ll keep my R1250 GSA thank you.
I think you can attach 90 l cases to the front left and right?
I guess but the payload is less than the last model
@@thefika Must be good to take my ape with me 😆😆
1300 GSA has over 70 pre sales in AUS that's before any reviews from credited media sources, and current wait times on 1300 gs is 6 months ....
I keep and eye on 1300 stock every few days. You have been able to walk in and buy a 1300 GS easily for most the year. If you want a custom order you have to wait
Thanks BMW Motorrad for making my 2022 R1250GSA more valuable overnight!
Something in that
Amazing video!!
Thanks bruv
This presentation is phuking gold.
Thanks mate
If they attached a laser gun turret to the 1300GSA it could pass for a squat dalek.
No one swears like the Aussies! Subscribed from NZ cobber!
I really do hope it grows on me, but I'm so damn happy with my 2023 R1250 GSA and the fact that I did not wait for this new attempt at a "next era" bike. Sometimes wanting to be mainstream goes very wrong...
Hopefully you will get some sort of growth when you ride it
I've owned a lot of bikes over the years, but a BMW was never on the list, and n ow there is even less chance. Absolutely loved the video though !
Right on!👍
Big, brute and impressive!😎
Woof
The single thing I'm most disappointed in is BMW dropped the asymmetrical headlight. That was a defining aspect of the GS design.
Yer I liked that
Looks great.
It does!
Looks like it's made by Lego FFS.
This is the kinda review I like.
Liked and subbed, keep it up Shagnasty 👌👌👏👏👏👏
My man. Have a good one
I do like the GSA look and your opening comment re the GSA being a proper bike finally, compared to the GS is exactly what I said to my mate BUT....
Cant wait for the new R1400 GSA
Yes! 1400 long stroke please
I don't like the look of the 1200 or 1250 GS. I do like the look of the 1300 GS. Now I don't like the look of the GSA, I think the tank looks ridiculous, like it has tumours on the sides. I don't think these big adventure bikes are really for off road adventure, maybe they make great all roads touring bikes, but it is just silly to think these are off road bikes.
Fair enough. Ge with what works
Nah, that bike looks awesome!
I like the looks too
I don’t think it looks bad at all if I’m honest.
...said Ray Charles 😂
I think it’s 👍
Man do I love more than ever my good’old Super Ténéré 2019 ! That much for… that ? 🤟🏽😅
T 7 Baby
And what are those gaping clam holes on the side for… glove box, sandwich hole, cup holder, dirt collector…. Or is it a sh!t box?
To put your chewing gum 😀
The shape of the tank is all about getting us used to a future EV bikes looks with their batteries. Just like SUV cars got us used to cars with with huge thick chassis, so EV cars would look normal. You heard it here first...
You may have a point there
I’m still laughing! This guy is a national treasure.
Thanks you my man
@@thefika 👊🏻
Great stuff, if you've got loads of money and that's what you really want. Heck. It's each to their own after all. After checking this lump out I think I might be swaying towards an electric scooter or even a pair of roller skates.
Roll on dude
Everyone knows about cold weather shrinkage. You’re fine 😂
It’s embarrassing lol
I ride all winter in the UK. Some days it's like a button mushroom. You got to get in a nice hot shower to tempt it back into shape 😮 😊😂
I never ever thought BMW could out Tonka Tonka, but guess what I like Tonka lol!
Tonka for life
I'm in2ADV, and I approve this message! 🙂 Subscribed!
Thanks my man
Everything you said is true. Why would they kill off the 1250gsa
I hope they let someone else make it
i love your reviews , speaking the truth for sure
Thanks my man
For the time being, not gonna change my 2023 R1250GSA Rallye. Can´t see any reason to change it.
Thanks for sharing
Same here, gonna keep mine for sure. Value will go up.
test rode the gsa yesterday not for me noisy as hell cramped riding ergos. suspension too hard menus are a joke its a bike aimed at a different rider to me i am relieved as i dont need to find the cash to swap

Comment of the day!
Aye, yer boyfriend's so lucky to be bangin on yer shaft, great feckin review, love from Scotland.
Heheh. Gotta love the shaft
Don’t get the “ I want one” feeling like when I first saw my 1250 adventure…. It just doesn’t look right… like a box on wheels…. Maybe it’s different in person
Could be
You can not beat a 1250gs adventure period. Some things you can not improve
Yes it will be the legendary model
God, that thing is hideous….I guess my 2021 1250 GSA just went up in value.
Getting a lot of that
It won't
Instant classic! All business.
Woof
269 kg otr fully loaded with boxes and panniers best part of £25,000 holy sh*t!
Hehehhe
This has the be the best review chanel on the internet. I can wait to change my tiny women-sized r1200gs for this monster, and show everybody the size of my new shaft.
It will keep shiny, since it must be replaced regularly according to BMW 😁
Thank Bruv
Just when you think KTM is the ugliest bike on the block, BMW says hold my beer.
Yep, agreed. They've just out-uglied the infamous baboon's arse 😂
Wow. You went there
When I saw the new GSA I was like FTW is that real !
Love the technology tho
Probably not something that I would buy 😊
👍
Have actually ridden the 1300 the looks are the least of it’s problems
The engine is noisy the gearbox it worse than the 1250 and the wining transmission on overrun is very annoying and this is the first BMW with bad fueling at low speed.
I think we will get used to the looks over time but I’ve decided to buy one of the last 1250s. The best GS ever!!!!
The bike looks like an electric bike.

Mmmm

Yep. Everyone said the last one was a Tonka too. So I guess it’s the same spirit. I too am very interested to see which one sell. They are very expensive though
It's a bike truck and I would buy one right now if I had the mula for it. It's beautiful
Woof
You might want to ditch those sunglasses if you say this bike looks good 😄 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though 😉
I like it better than the 1300 one though
Absolutely brilliant.... Tell it like it is and still has no real backlight either... (1250 GS and R100GS PD owner) now I cannot undo 'turd burgler' everytime I see a GSA1300😂😂
I will mate. Have a good one
Looks good!?!?! It's the ugliest bike I've seen for a long long time.
I know hehehe. Better than the 1300 though
5kgs heavier that’s a big deal but 10kgs lighter for 1300gs isn’t?
That's just fuel and its a smaller bike. Stick to like for like
Yeah dude! Your’re definitely smarter, clever, brighter than all the engineers out there!
Blah blah blah….shouting and saying nothing.
What have you been doing for this world and with what did you came up on the market?
Why did you not flew out in Bayern and did directly there a review? Come on man…. Do not be a hater
Who hurt you?
Only because I already own the standard 1300 GS, and it's been a phenomenal motorcycle I have to disagree with you on your assessment of it. However, I totally agree with you on this GSA! What a hideous looking POS! I will never get used to it, just like I will never get used to a cyber truck…
Thanks for sharing that
Its first time watching your video,you just teleported the entire bmw design team in to a block hole 😅😅😅
Thanks my man
just a matter of time for people to accept the design...because its a BMW...some people buy for the pride of the brand😅
Yep 💯 time will tell
1300 GSA❤
Woof
It's a dalek on wheels....think you deffently gave this bike a roasting it deserves 😂
Mate if it looks like a Dalek I want one ☝️
…and why no CarPlay nor Android Auto!
Well they have an Auto but yer not AndroidAuto 🙄
Bmw is the best when it comes to Starbuck ride🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is true
We need more honest reviews like this 😂 LOVE it!
Thanks mate
Oh, a dessert storm
Weeeee
Well at least all that extra girth on the new GSA will make it easy for you to pick er up when you drop er on your big adventure........ to Starbucks or some other popular spot to stare at your bike....

Yes. Great for throwing a leg over and exercising the option
And a fine review yours is, sir! LMAO!
Have a great day champ
You are wasting your breath! They don't care as much as some of us do!
There might be something to that

looks like a puffa fish! :)
Right on
I thought the turd burglar truck was going to pull up and have the new GS roll out the back of it. It should have.
That would of been epic I might use that
man i absolutely love this vid man, especially the rainbow GS part LOL. Absolute shitshow from bmw
Unfortunately you can’t get the Rainbow 🌈 in the Middle East or China
Sir, your mouth is too dirty to be presenting such a wonderful bike
Thank you
agreed, next major f-up by bmw
Can’t wait to ride it though
Wtf is he going on about... its 5 kg its 4kg its 6 kg who cares? It can be 700kg ... once u ride it they all light as fuck... who cares about numbers when handling is great? Its like harleys are 400kg or whathever but u ride em like they are kidds toys... all this motorbikes... i think more important is centre of gravity.. not numbers..
Just so you can follow along. The point is it’s a new bike and they made it heavier. I will draw it in crayon next time for you.
A lot people care and have said so.
BMW WTF !! I’m a 1300 gs fan. Mother of God who put a 12 year old in charge of design? A prestige company, has just dived into the toilet.
Good one
Agree with everything you said except that it looks OK.........It looks like a illegitimate offspring from some orgy between a Lego kit and a German WW2 panzer tank. It has to be the ugliest thing on two wheels , even uglier than the Harley Pan America .... actually it makes the PanAm look good . Anyway keep up the great honest reviews ( until they come to take you away to a Stalig Camp somewhere in siberia anyway.)
Cheers mate
Right on Bruv
Lol, say it as it is, classic !!
Watch out the sizist police will get you :)
I'm a fukin little hobbit !!!
Lol, theres a certain youtuber that I know, who loves his 1300gs lol, I wont be able to keep a straight face when I see him next lol.
When I see him riding his new shaft it reminds me of going to that funeral/wedding wearing your dads suit when ur 12yr old.
My man. You can do it
No it’s great. Sell u r 1250 so i can buy it cheaper
Hehehe
Smece
Fried rice
engine is noisy 1300gs is tiny peak gs is 1250
Hey, you're Language my man, is it necessary
Food, Water and oxygen are necessary the rest is optional
My first thoughts, it’s like having a ugly girlfriend, it might be a good ride if you only take her out after dark and your buddy’s don’t know about her, my second thoughts I’d really just soon have a ugly girlfriend, I’ll be holding on to my 23 GSA 😢 shame on BMW I’m sure they will blame there declining sales on something else besides what there engineering department has done just wait a year !!
take a midol
I don’t need it. I just stick my finger into power socket
They did indeed release a Stink Pickle, WOOF !👎
2 in the pink one in the stink
Being a VStrom man I know I'm not in much of a position to criticise looks, but OMFG that thing looks hideous. "A tank with a tumour" said someone quoted by Big Rock Moto. I wouldn't take one for free..... ok I would but I'd sell it before I put a mile on it. I'm scarlet for BMW .... scundered..... embarassed ..... mortified.
Hehehe
Only reason to buy it is if your a sheep and you like to follow all the others i will stick with my gsa rallye
Woof
What the he’ll is this guy prattling on about? There are less annoying, more informative vids. This is just some whiny sounding click bait bitching.
Yep and they are all the same
That thing is damned ugly……….
