    Since this video was made you now own a 2024 BMW GS 😄 Watched this video because I’m looking at buying a 2019 GS750 as a second bike. These old videos come in handy👍🏽

    I just bought a '21 F750GS (found one with 1,700 miles!) in small part due to Scott's great review - and it is not disappointing. Scott is spot on, and I can't tell that the brakes aren't 100% at initiation.

    I love this bike. I’m 5’1” and was able to sit on one today with the factory low suspension and extra low seat. It felt great and had me sitting upright with a comfortable reach to the bars and enough foot on the ground to feel comfortable. I’m accustomed to having only one foot down and a butt scoot. I really want one but with the features we want it becomes a pretty expensive bike - $13,590. By far the most expensive bike I’m considering buying for my next ride. I just don’t know whether I can afford to lay out that much for just two wheels. I’ve only owned Japanese bikes until now and they have all been excellent. This time I’m thinking about getting a bike from somewhere else. We’ll see …

    Hi Gary, thank you! Yes, this is the first BMW Adventure bike that I'd consider buying...if I was an adventure guy. Next week Wednesday I will ride the new 1250 GS and do a review of it. I'm really looking forward to riding it, with more torque then the KTM Super Adventure, so now it is the new torque monster in the adventure group. I wonder how it will feel.

    I ride a 2018 Tiger 800 which I love, but I have to say, the BMW TFT is streets ahead. My display looks a (little) bit like it when it's dark but normally it automatically reverts to the bright setting which isn't nearly as nice. Not sure I like the nav mounting so low down though...I suppose the lack of a taller screen means it can't go above the clocks... Great review.

    Thanks for your review. I especially liked the way you talk about the feeling you have on the bike. In general, I'm very negative about the new middle weight BMWs due to the astronomical price with the extras, the high weight of 229 kilos and 55kw on a bike with over 800cc, and I think BMW is going to suffer for this, even more so when the new KTMs hit the sales rooms. I think, however, that it seems to be a very nice commuter, lazy weekend tourer kind of bike. Personally, I'd get a tracer 700 with a cartridge kit for the forks and possibly upgrade the brake hoses and pads. More bang for your buck, I think.

    Hi Rex, you're welcome :) Hmm...these are two totally different bikes, one a naked and the other adventure. What would be more important is to ask yourself if you want a naked bike or an adventure bike. There are nakeds that have good electronics too and most middleweight nakeds are a lot lighter than middleweight adventure bikes. In this case with these two bikes, the BMW is about 30kg heavier than the 797. So weight might also be another factor in what you are considering. There are sooooo many bikes, which sometimes makes it a little confusing...at least for me...and you might just want to sit back and take a look at other naked and adventure bikes and you just might find one you didn't expect to find. Ride safe, Scott

    Yes, the 750 is a very good bike. I actually asked my local BMW dealership about the sales numbers of the 750 GS vs. the 850 GS and they sell about 4 750's to 1 850. So the 750 is a very popular bike for a good reason.

    Hi Mike, thanks for the compliment. Yes, I loved it, in fact I told my wife that this is the first BMW that I would actually buy cause it is one of those do all and do it well bikes that one can keep for a long time. And, yes, it was just enough power to put a smile on your face when you open up the throttle. Just FYI, the only difference between the 750 GS motor and 850 GS motor is the engine mapping. So if the 750 is not enough power for you...hint, hint, the key word here is mapping...but you did not hear that from me. :)

    It felt more like a naked bike rather than an adventure bike as far as that is concerned..."I was shocked as to how much wind I got"...is what I stated in the video. So if that is a concern for you, then you might want to get a bigger wind screen or go to the 850 which comes with a taller wind screen.
