Again, nice video! According the manual, when quickshifting down, you should release power...... (just like the 1250)

I’m afraid that’s all you get out of me mate as it is straight out of the box no writing anything down straight out of the mouth onto the mic. If it’s shit I will tell you

Takes some getting used to not shutting off the power when changing gear and i noticed your right hand backing off when changing up while saying don't back off.....easier said than done. Enjoy your channel keep it up 👍

If you read the manual, it probably says that is incorrect, but I find that works the best way underload Wine of the Power tad. Anyway you’ll get a feel for it but there is nothing wrong with it. Trust me if you hear people saying there’s something wrong with the 1300s Gear Box needs i their bike needs adjusting.

To be honest, I think it happens on a daily basis it just is what it is fantastic when that thing is running I cannot wait I’m sick and tired of that white flashing in my face telling me no

For budget reasons I opted out of having a quick shifter fitted which means no dynamic and dynamic pro mode. My train of thought was I’ve never had a quick shifter on a bike so I won’t miss it. On my test ride the bike felt more than quick and stable enough for me in road mode.

Great video. What is that tail bag you have? Good looking even backwards. Lots of mixed reviews on the quick shifter, most of the negative ones are twiddling the throttle while using the quick shifter.

One thing I've been corrected on by Richard is, I've not ridden the M1000 so I have nothing to compare it to apart from numerous 1250s in fact five and it's a grand improvement

I think you’ll find it the microphone picking it up the bikes decibels in my mind is certainly more than the 1250, but maybe even exactly the same. I think in our minds we expected to be so much better by the end of the day it’s a boxer Engine All that rattling around is on the outside Gear Box is definitely not clunky. Nothing wrong with it at all unless you speak to Richard and and Ride the M1 now apparently that is silky but smooth quick shifter but I’m not about to try it any time soon probably because I will want one so it is what it is. It’s a GS boxer engine that’s what it says on the tin, that’s what it does put earplugs in if you don’t like it

You will find out you're gonna join the guinea pig queue, just like everybody else. You are the beata testers you will find out the suspension is not fair for purpose and has not been designed properly yet

it all sounds like hosanna when I hear you talking about the R1300GS. I don't hear anything critical, like a choppy gearbox, a steering damper that doesn't work well enough causing instability when accelerating. Not to mention the front brake, which requires a lot of force to get enough deceleration. A lousy front brake compared to the 1250

The "Shift Assistant Pro" is a bad joke from BMW. Especially in this price segment. It always has been on the Boxer machines. It's cheeky of BMW to charge extra money for it and then call it "Pro".
