The design is not my cup of tea... loaded with tech that eventually break and super expensive to repair... Bikes are going the same way as cars... ever more complex. Others in BMW community might like it, but I am not one of them
The most anticipated release of the year and by the looks of things also the biggest disappointment. I can’t imagine anyone buying this ugly mutt of a bike. Looks like my 1250 just increased in value. Thanks for nothing BMW, pathetic.
So, the Harley Pan Am had a love affair with a Lego brick. I do like the attachment points, gotta give them that much. For now, I’ll stick with the 1200/1250 GSA.
A Cybertruck, a 1300GS and a Tesla designer walk into a bar…..and this hideous thing walks out! 🤦🏻♂️ I love how BMW calls the automatic transmission…..”New Technology”…..only took them 8yrs what Honda had. On behalf of all the DCT owners in the world…..in my best Bruce Willis interpretation……Welcome to the party Pal!!!😂🤣😂
Oh My God. Ugliest bike I’ve ever seen. The tank looks like an a/c unit.. those openings on the side??? They styled the bike to look like the luggage. Heavier with more weight higher???? Please don’t ruin the new RT and RS😡
These big adventure bikes are becoming huge, grotesque, bloated vehicles, priced accordingly. 99% of owners will never take them off road, Chelsea Tractors for the biking world.
Ex GS owner here, the last a great 1250 GSA, they are too big and the new styling is horrid, I’ll keep my stunning Ducati and it is so much more fun to ride.
I’ve no doubt it’ll be a huge road mile muncher with loads of tech and comfort, looks will have to wait till I see it in the flesh, great review James , 👍👏🙋🏻♂️🫡
Lots of big feelings for a bike that no one has to buy but eventually will. It’s a great counter-balance to the slimmed-down 1300GS. I don’t want the regular 1300 but I’ll take this. It has presence and every technological feature you could want. BMW went in a totally different from Ducati and we are all better for it. Buy a F900GS if you really want a more classic adventure bike look and functionality.
A GS rider is usually a small, bearded old man with a yellow safety vest and an open-face helmet who is unable to tension a chain without killing himself. I think the bike fits this category of rider perfectly. 🤔
The design of the tank and the covers arround ist very boxy, I do not like it... Of course it can be still a very good bike, but it is more fore the newest tech... lets See how it sells next year
Indicators in the hand guards, sure they’ll be cheap to fix when you drop it. At least on the 1250 when it disintegrated immediately followed by the clutch when I had a little off, I was able to swap them out for bark busters. Not going to be possible in this case. Also, why did you do the walk round on this bike, which is covered with packs trying to take away from the ‘interesting’ design decisions. I’m sure it’ll be an incredible ride, just hasn’t immediately taken me like the 1250 did from launch. I’ve ridden the 1300 and have to admit I enjoyed it both on and off road and loved the balance, but the 1250 does everything and more than I need for years to come. Hopefully the facelift version of the GSA to come might be more palatable.
BMW have cocked up big time here; they seemed to have designed the bike to match the panniers! I'll stick with my 1250 GSA until I move to the Ducati Multistrada next year.
Ich denke …,; in einem Jahr haben sich die Leute beruhigt &finden diesen *panzer* schön! Bei der Apple Watch Ultra haben alle influencer geschrien: zu groß,zu schwer,zu klobig!!! Und nun? Alle tragen sie sie…! Ich finde die neue einfach nur gelungen ,eigenständig & toll…, sie ist eben charismatisch& ich möchte sie gerne haben 🤷♂️🙂
I am soooo glad I bought the 1250gsa Triple Black. The new look is not a bike I will purchase. Looks too much like Harley’s attempt at an ADV which I also dislike.
It’s absolutely awful. Nothing whatsoever to commend it. Such a disappointment, as is the standard 1300. Crap light, crap luggage, harsh ride, fiddly switchgear, less road presence, uncomfortable pillion position and hideously ugly. Not to mention the shocking value for money. I will stick with my GS1250 and when the time comes, switch to Ducati. Such a shame. I’ve had 5 BMW’s and 3 GS’s. No more. The team responsible for the 1300’s should be fired. A total screw up.
If I were in the position of the production manager at BMW, I would immediately stop producing this bike and modify it immediately and say this was just a joke. After all these negative comments about the design, I am surprised how I did not find anyone who liked this design. I do not know why they consider it a new design, and in fact If the design was for a 5-year-old child, he would draw a more beautiful design than this cube
I love the design and after 2 days purchased one to replace my 2013 1200LC. At the first glance, I've found it ugly. At the second glance it was 'better'. Now I find it much more up to date than my 10 years old GS. This is typical with new designs that are radically different. I'm pretty sure this bike will sell a lot. Let's see.
I’m not a designer but that headlight reminds me of a ducks beak thats my only complain the rest I can live with it I mean the headlight assembly is so out of place with the rest of the bike
A bought my first GS (R80GS) in 1985). The last in 2022 (R1250GS) ... 6 in between. The design of this piece is ... terrible. Never want to be seen on it!
In my opinion: looks even more like a sperm whale, in comparison to the 1250 GSA. A total miss in my eyes. It's comfortable, without a doubt but Goldwing is comfortable too 😀But too pricey and too heavy to go offroad. So it's a bike for adventure pretenders.
It's been a long wait but at least now I can cross it off my wishlist.

Nobody who knows, Needs that much luggage!
The disappointment of the decade.
I was really afraid I was going to be very tempted to buy one... but I can confidently say I will never own this model.

Well that's just saved me £25k. I see better looking things in my toilet each morning.
Ugly, and looks like it weighs a ton 🏍️🏍️
Now it's Ducatti time !!!!
What have they done?.
If Lego made an adventure bike, this would be it
They've designed it to look like the new luggage boxes

The boxy design with the duck beak is not a good match
Hard pass…it’s ugly.

The truck is back :)

What a crap..ugry as hell, heavy as a cow! Amazing
Buy this and get a free flak vest! Gopping!
I’ve no doubt it’ll be a huge road mile muncher with loads of tech and comfort, looks will have to wait till I see it in the flesh, great review James , 👍👏🙋🏻♂️🫡
Love the muscular look.
Unnecessary bulk, weight and tank capacity on European roads
I have a 1200 ADV LC, 13 ADV looks great, looking forward to switching to this beast.
Love it. Awesome design. And I have a Multistrada v4s.
Give back 1250 please...
Yeah. I stick to it 🙏
I am simply disappointed with the design.
I hated it at first look, but after the walk around it looks amazing. My 5th GSA
Didnt like the previous 1300. I actually love this one!!!!!! :)

The only good thing is when you are riding it it isn't offending your eyes

This BMW doesn't have a chain.
@noelenejeffries6264 😂😂😂😂😂
I think it looks great, its certainly a tough looking machine and very different well done BMW
The “Lego Convergence” is real
It seems Swiss Toni has forgotten to describe the built-in pop-up toasters (and crumb catchers) either side of the fuel tank…
Yeeep, now we know what ugliness means
Incroyable ! ❤

You never mentioned the automatic transmission 😮
the police radar speed trap must be included.
What are the two air conditioners on the sides used for 😮?
Lol😂

how did it just catch up to the 1250gsa in terms of weight?
was really hoping for a 21” option, available on all competitors (ktm, triumph)
really luuuv it option 719 🔥

Looks similar to something I stepped in on the sidewalk recently.

Don’t tell anyone, The designer works (secretly) for Ducati….

You'd really need to be up your own ar*e to defend that design and lust after owning one.
Its a grower. A wee bit like Marmite. I am starting to like it.

Ducati just increased their market share without doing a thing.
What do You mean by “not doing a thing”???
The designer of this bike works for them….😂😂😂😂😂
18 inch rear wheel????
No, still 17 rear, 19 front
@@rudyhonings sure he said 18 rear…..
I think it looks fantastic👍🏻
The more things you have on a bike the more fearful you'll be of them breaking.
I like the looks, but what price
Bro likes to SHOUT
I stay with my gsa 2021 model.
And is my last gs bike.😂😂
I’m not a designer but that headlight reminds me of a ducks beak thats my only complain the rest I can live with it I mean the headlight assembly is so out of place with the rest of the bike
Thank you verry good donald trump 😊😊
So BMW adds all the expensive tech and then it's better when they're turned off? Think I'll stay with my old low tech GS.
A bought my first GS (R80GS) in 1985). The last in 2022 (R1250GS) ... 6 in between.
The design of this piece is ... terrible. Never want to be seen on it!
Madness far too much technology that will go wrong
I like the look of it, I want one
❤❤❤❤❤
nah sorry. Dyson mated with SMEG and Lego dressed up the baby. Toaster fridge on wheels. Stick to your 1250 or 900 GS'
Lego?
i like how the bike looks like even though everyone is saying the opposite. if i have i the money i will buy it.
Photocopier with a headlight attached....🤢
BMW is now head and shoulders above the competition with the fugliest bikes ever
Gopping
Talking hands.
You need to put adventure or A in your title. TH-cam won’t target people looking for the new bike. Delete this comment if you want 👍🏻

Calm down !
Wtf is that 😅😅
Classic example of how to ruin the established product
Never expected something can be more uglier than Harley Pan Am, but here it is 😢😮
Woeful …. Sold my 1250 and bought a T7 and a new Tiger 900 RP …
That came across as the most fake video I've seen in ages
Lego bike
Too much snapps all-round methinks...
Had hoped todays bike designers had reached peak ugly but nope. Congratulations BMW. Ugliest new bike I've seen in the last five years.
Crikey, that's a big no thank you from me.
Very expensive tonka toy 269kg fully loaded est cost fully loaded £25,000.........😂😂😂
Overpriceed
BMW goes from bad to worse!!!! Really now, what's wrong with these ppl???
How much are they paying you to babbel so much? Nah, not my style. Won't buy it
Terrible, what a disaster
so ugly, ducati wins again, bad tank design
Awful
Ugliest bike ever built
