BMW R1300 GS is it worth it ?

Спорт

BMW R1300 GS First Ride. Riding the brand new 2024 BMW R1300 GS for the first time. How does it compare to the outgoing GS1250 which I have owned for the past 4 years ?. Thanks to Wollaston BMW Northampton for the loan of the bike

    Enjoyed that forget about the negativity through a couple of comments. I’m similar in mindset to you I sat on that very bike not sure springs to mind although I’ve not ridden it yet. It’s clean looking so easier to wash but I bet my gsa next to that would make it look small.

    The centre stand isn’t motorised. If you have the auto ride height option fitted then the suspension will rise from low to normal position to get the leverage on the stand back to standard, if you don’t have that option then no ‘assistance’ exists.

    The centerstand isnt motorised its the auto lowering shock that detects you are putting it on tje stand and automatically lifts the suspension back to the riding height if it didnt then the bike would be too low

    For me, the 1250 is 'Peak GS' and the 1300, as lovely as it is, is a new bloodline, a GS II if you like. I'm sure it will find its buyers (younger probably 🧐) and will be a success.

    GS was ruined in 2013. The air cooled ones were peak GS. At least now BMW is going back to a more streamlined design instead of the disgustingly bloated 2013- 2022 models

    Yea that’s me not explaining myself, one of my annoying traits. Can’t remember the plusher bit but it’s smaller, faster, lighter so I would say along with the looks makes it a bit sportier than the 1250, still very much a gs though

    🤔 🤔 I ride a big GS ..NOT because I am over 40 ..but in part due to the condition of the roads & wanting the versatility.. alas uk roads are just not really favourable for 200bhp super bikes!! That said I’d be mindful of posting yourself on social media rinsing the speed limits for all to see .. no speed cameras or laser guns require …. it’s one thing telling people what you may do it’s another providing them with the demonstrable video evidence of actually doing it ..🤡

    Small, ugly, cheap looking. For me those 3 things outweigh the more gadgets, power, torque etc and I very definitely wont be rushing off to buy it. The 1250 isnt lacking anywhere but its simply too big for many people - this ugly duckling addresses the problem. To be perfectly honest I am personally very disappointed ( long term owner 5 x GS and possibly no more if this is the future especially if the adv version has been cut down and cheapened too..... )
