Hi Bob, This is exactly the bike I have, down to the exhaust and coulour scheme. I live in the Paris area and most of my riding is urban. This means that I can't really do it justice - as you say - or exploit its full capabilities. But, I traded up twice, first from a Ducati scrambler and then a Triumph Tiger 900GT Pro. I can't honestly say that I regret my choice despite the huge price tag and not using it to the full. It's a wonderful, everyday machine, even for filtering in dense traffic, which is supposedly it's weak point.

The thing about the BMW GS is... everything. It does everything well. As for the price, blame the PCP industry. Sadly, a lot of buyers don't care too much about the sticker price, they're only bothered about the monthly payment. As residual values are quite good on BMW's, it has allowed the sticker price to increase whilst still maintaining a competitive monthly payment, compared with a lower priced, residually weaker bike from another manufacturer.

I also checked your 'Watched' list, and it does not list anywhere near the 800 millions videos that have been uploaded onto KZitem. To put the nail in the coffin of your erroneous claim, I would like to end with the fact that it would take at least 60,000 years of continuous viewing to watch everything on KZitem. The only possible way that you could have seen everything on KZitem is if you have several screens, each with several windows, playing all the videos in sequence.

Great review, was looking forward to hearing what you think of it. I own the 1200GS but with the same digital dash and auto levelling suspension. They're a game changer from the previous water cooled model. You are right about the cockpit and seeing the back of the lights etc. I too thought it felt unfinished at first, but you don't see it after a while and it adds to the rugged charm. The problem with owning one of these is what to switch to next. I'm desperately wanting something different but genuinely can't think of what that would be without causing major regrets.

Many ppl say BMW R1250GS/A is the best in ADV motorcycle segment, in the past I never drove an BMW. I own a 2021 Africa Twin Adv Sports (AT-AS), so I had high expectations for R1250 GS compared to my AT. Today I got an opportunity to test-drive R1250 GS, honestly I didn't like it (maybe I'm used to my AT). Few thing I noticed 1. Handle-bar position - IMO AT has relaxed handlebar position compared to R1250. 2. Immediately I felt engine heat from the boxer engine, even after riding for multiple hours on AT I barely notice engine heat. 3. Foot pegs, shifter & rear brake position is more comfortable in AT than BMW. 4. Even though R1250 GS is heavier than AT ES, I feel the speed. While driving 75-80+ miles on Interstate, I felt the speed on BMW. On AT I don't feel that speed, 80+ miles engine is pretty relaxed at 4000/rpm. 5. Parallel-Twin engine/exhaust sound has more grunt/thump compared to the boxer engine. I really like how AT sounds. 6. Brakes are much more effective on BMW compared to AT. BMW excels in braking. Maybe I'm missing something on BMW, pls let me know if you think otherwise... No more second thought of trading AT for R1250GS, IMO for me AT-AS is more comfortable than BMW.

I enjoyed my 160 000 kilometers of BMW Boxer ownership, but access to buy and replace parts was not easy. The last straw came in two strokes; a $40 idler gear was going to cost $1000+ to replace, and the parts and service guy had the same attitude as Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi. So, I sold the thing, joined a BMW victim support group and swore I’d kick the habit. And, now this - clearly a relapse is imminent; but, here’s the question: Is it time to call my support group sponsor . . . or visit a dealer?

The reason the boxer motor sounds awful is the same reason that Triumph and Yamaha (and Ford and now Chevy) should have avoided crossplane crankshafts at all costs. There's nothing worse than a crankshaft with super long spaces between each piston firing. The long pause between each firing stroke, leads to the really unnatural "digital" sound where you can't identify what kind of engine you're listening to. Notice a conventional inline 3 cylinder engine sounds like an inline 6 cylinder engine, because it has the same pitch as a larger 6 cylinder, due to the firing intervals being similar. Notice that a conventional inline 4 cylinder has a high pitched mean scream that you can readily identify as an inline 4. Notice that a Harley V-twin air cooled engine has a beautiful, rich sound, as the firing pulses are very close together due to a shared single crankpin, and 2 closely spaced firing intervals. Now contrast these beautiful engine sounds with the Yamaha Crossplane R1 engine (sounds like a video game from the 1980's) or the Boxer engine (puttering sound) or the new Triump crossplane crank triples, which sound grunty, impure, and rough, without the beautiful high pitched sound of the original. Crossplane (flat plane/T-plane) crankshafts do not sound good, and for that reason alone, they should be avoided on 3 and 4 cylinder bikes.

Had a GSA1200, Triumph Explorer 1200 and for purely road work, the GSA was fabulous but not quite up to the road stability of the Tiger. Had a wonderfully torquey motor but ghe tiger's 3 xtl lump was more evocative and a real peach. The GS was more comfortable plus way easier to handle at slow speeds. However...the huge elephant in the room with BMW is reliability. A vast majority of new buyers by them on pcp/pch terms and keep then no more than 3 or 4 years then get a new one. They dominate the forums and shout down anyone criticising bmw's known problems. For us more traditional buyers...most of us buy a 2 to 4 yr old model outright and put up lots of miles and find the real niggles after bigger miles. The crux of the bmw problem is this: they're a lottery. Great when they're going well, BUT many suffer engine failures due to top end problems, dynamic esa suspension is made down to a price and many need a full rebuild under 25k miles at £2.5K a time. You might get lucky as I did and get one with few issues or you may get one with chocolate cams that suffer premature failure...much reported. Drive shafts can corrode at junctions if not periodically inspected and serviced properly and switchgear is still not illuminated which is a pet hate of mine. Are they the ultimate adventure bike? No. Are they the ultimate GS? Yes. You can't out GS a GS. As adventure bikes go the ktm adventure is lighter, more powerful and does a lot better on and off road but isn't as comfortable and comes with its own widely reported reliability issues. Triumph's new adventure 900 and 1200 models have finally come of age and are reputedly as good as a GS off road and better on road. I had an early one which was a top heavy pig and useless off road. It made a great and very comfortable long distance road touring bike but had a myriad of reliability niggkes down to poor build quality. Mine had electrical issues and little things like front fairing lamp bar brackets were cheap and nasty and not up to their basic job of holding spots securely. Front engine casings corroded before your eyes and getting a laden one of the sidestand often took two people! For all that I would rather have the new triumph than a new GS. Seems to me they're better value, more advanced, finally they have addressed the top heavy weight and low speed management issues...but prices of new ones are a joke for the ordinary enthusiast like me. Same goes for the GS. I can't afford either now so am enjoying my 20 yr old Aprilia rsvr which is probably more reliable than either adv bike, quicker and better handling...I just need a chiroptractor after each run out!

I like these dry facts videos. There are other channels around to watch if we want real time riding reviews. Good thing we have both bro´, don't you agree?

Have BMW improved the quality of the nuts and bolts? I had 2 new Adventures, 2004 & 2008 both were stored and maintained properly but both started to rust very quickly.

An important option sport suspension! It gives you the GSA suspension on the standard gs. That was the ticket for me! I wanted a thin bike with the off-road suspension

Good luck in the West Country. You are well positioned there for rides to Wales, South West and the South Coast. As ever with these bikes we have to figure out exactly what we want the bike for and choose accordingly. There is always a compromise. Good review as always. Cheers.

I think people from a sporty bike /super naked bike groups will have KTM superA or a Ducati Multi over a GS but I recon the average GS rider thinks and feels that the GS is quick enough for them and the biggest problem will be the chain drive. If you had a shaft driven bike for some time now and the GS owners tend to chamge their GS for a newer GS the thought of chain adjustment / lubrication will drive them mad. Ps I'm not a GS owner but I owned bikes with chain drive and shaft drive. You change the dif oil once every 10K mies or every time U change the back tyre is much more enjoyable then spraying your chain on a long tour im the rain every 3 fuel stops

Got one in June this year, best bike I've ever had! I don't know how they can improve the perfect bike unless I guess you look at all the after market accessories! I guess the bike would be even more expensive if they added all these extra bits to it, on the positive side it gives business to the 3rd party suppliers.

You don't need more power. Where I live in Melbourne, Australia the government has just bought a heap of new red light /mobile speed cameras, choppers etc. This bike has all the real world power you can can use. Brilliant bike. I've got adaptive cruise control in my car so it's good but I can live without it. $21K? Worth every penny I don't have either. Harley's Pan America is $32K. All academic really.

I took one out last week. They are great but to get one with the toys you want you are paying over £20,000 for that you could buy 2 great bikes. You need to have money to burn to justify one. I don’t so it’s a no from me.

Used to hate them, made the mistake of test riding an early LC, now on my third a 2019 GSA Exclusive. The secret is the versatility and living in rural Northumberland they are perfect, fast, comfy, great handling. Had a few issues with my 1250 but sorted under warranty and I’ll probably have another despite the cost😢

That sounds familiar. I didn’t hate them, I just didn’t think one would be right for me. Oh, how wrong I was. I took an RS out for a test... then the salesman suggested trying a GS. I was hooked.

My first bmw was the K1200s, then changed to a 2015 1200gs, then again to a 2017 1200gs Rallye, now I ride the 2020 R1250 GS HP …. so my opinion on them is very obvious 😁👍

If you buy a GS or GSA, do yourself a huge favor snd buy the touring windscreen and side screens from Aeroflow out of Riverside, CA from a dude named Paige (sp?). The person who answers the phone is Christine. If you’re over 6’2” buy the extra tall windscreen. You can always lower it. Best bike of all time once you’ve specked it out with Aeroflow imho.

Give you a sub, great forest for testing! I’m on an ‘05 GS with Öhlins, and that telelever will never say dive. Just this morning had a busy light turn red and I was stopping very short, then just roll up to the line like Ho-hum.

Had a test ride yesterday. I'm thinking to replace my VFR1200X with something more up-to-date. First impressions- I'm 185 cm tall - sitting position. I have lean slightly forward towards handlebars. Knees angle is higher than in VFR1200X. After half an hour started feeling pain in my back. Standard screen is way to small. Air stream hits me directly in helmet, making terrible noise and causing buffeting. From the other side, suspension is superb, dynamic ESA does phenomenal work. Fantastic TFT display. Spotted something strange with gearbox - 4th gear was lagging compared to others, and couple of times ended up with excessive revving. Would I buy it? Rather no. Way to expensive, expected much more for this kind of money. I think I'll stay with Crosstourer for the while.
