BMW R 1300 GS Offroad Endurance Testing in Africa
You always wanted to know how the new BMW R 1300 GS performs Offroad? We did it and participated in two Rallies in Africa: Swan Rally Tunisia and Lamas Rally Morocco. This is the Video of Morocco that explains the event and gives all the details about the bike.
Please note: engine power of the R 1300 GS is 145 HP and not 136 HP as expressed in the video. Sorry for the error!

This video convinced me to go back to the GS platform. I had a 2018 1200GSA for 5 years. Great bike but the appeal of the 890 ADV R got me. I tried it out and ended up being disappointed in a few areas that made me start missing my GS. I’m looking forward to my 1300 GS, in this exact configuration, coming in the next few months! Love to see stuff like this! Thanks for the great video and congrats on finishing the rally!
Klaus , best wishes.. you are strong and an incredible rider.
Excellent review and video.
superior riding skill
Perfect job Klaus 👌 i would like to see some longer pov onboard video ☺️ its a dream riding Morocco with GS ❤
Fascinating the way you ride this bike here ...compliments👍
Thank you and that is how you ride a bike... Hard and like you stole it... Great work on this documentary.
You are a great person
Awesome review! Ride safe…
Maravilha de conteúdo parabéns 👏🏻🇧🇷
Just put one in our rental fleet. Personally, I put an order in for a GS900 Enduro to replace my KTM990. I wouldn’t use either one in Morocco though! I have a KTM450exc for that! Love Morocco! I tested a Yamaha T7 World Raid there last spring where it did well, except for the dunes.

@@Angry-Lynx Agreed! I’m currently 1500 miles into a 2500 mile ride to the Arctic Ocean and I have reaffirmed my commitment to the 990 as the better bike! Sorry BMW!
Is there a link for the rally ?
..its still new, time will tell..but it will have + impact on ADV world..
2:36 that’s a great rider .. Husky 701 rider ?
Hello Klaus great video. I went to Tunesia with my BMW see my cusom gs you tube foto's "bmw R 1300 gs special"
6:40 you are a super rider. Well done for stopping exactly on the crest! When I ride in sand, I either stop short, or hit the crest with too much speed. It can be dangerous.
Offroad con 260kg??? Estamos locos
Sounds like a BWW advert to me. I own a GS but these glowing reviews are always suspicious. Or maybe Klaus wants to keep in the good grace of BMW... maybe just maybe.

Or maybe the new 1300GS is an astonishing bike, and that's something really hard to admit by you. Maybe. I've ridden it and it really is something else. A piece of master engineering

@@NachoGS I own a GS ... not the 1300 though. I have ridden one for a few hours. I was not blown away. Only marginally better than the 1250.. it's really not that good , be honest and stop being a fan boy

@@hueyvan2007 my first test ride on the 1300GS was bittersweet too. Even though it felt slightly more powerful and refined compared to the 1250, I found it too different in certain areas, and too similar to 1250 in other aspects. But later I got the chance to test it more comprehensively, and the improvement is massive in suspension, chassis, as well as the motor. You don't realise until you really put the bike to a demanding test on twisty roads and off road. Then back to the 1250 and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Thanks for your comment. I think, it's not really easy to understand a new motorcycle after a short test, because it depends a lot on your personal shape and mood of the day. Generally, I always try to test a bike on 2 different days. Better if you try it for one week or even two as I did in the desert. I have just expressed my experience with the GS 1300 and I am ready to challenge ANYBODY with a similar riding level like mine on any different ADV bike during next years edition of the Lamas Rally in Morocco to compare their peformance with that of the GS!
145ps… 136ps hatte die alte GS Die 9 ps waren es wohl, die doch die Düne Hoch geschoben haben 😛
