I think that's reasonable, compared to the current 1250GSA. The clutch lever should be replaced with a rear brake lever.

But if you spec them up it’s a completely different thing. My Tramuntana with luggage was £25k. Having said that I couldn’t be happier with mine. I’ve had zero issues whatsoever. It’s my first GS and I’m glad I didn’t wait for the Adventure as I really don’t like the looks at all. I do feel that new design concepts are a good thing and you are never going to design a bike that everyone will love. Great video

Right. The whole bike is a tank. Though I already begin to like it.

I think the loops and hooks on the bike are there incase you drop it. It enables either a helicopter ( twin rota I assume) or a number of engine hoists to lift it back up. Obvious I would of thought Chris 🤷

BMW Motorrad seems to have employed the same design team as they did for the cars. Look at what they did to the M2. Used to be such a beautiful car.

That looks like what they imagined motorcycles in the future would look like 50 years ago.

It’s hideous…. I had cataract surgery two days and the pain had nearly gone. One look at that hideous machine has bought it back. Put them all in the skip immediately.

They've attached the panniers at the wrong end......😂

There was a good few years where bikes looked really good and stylish.....i think we're out of that time.

BMW have obviously taken their square styling queues from the WW2 Kettenkrad or Kettenkraftrad- The tracked motorcycle you will have seen on Saving Private Ryan that the Americans called the Rabbit. - Its only taken 70 years to replicate "ugly"!

As far as the extra “Hoops” on the crash bars, I bet they’re there to more resist rolling over on its side to protect the bike, since they’re aren’t any upper crash bars like previous Adventure GS’s.

It does make the the 1250GSA look way better than it used to! 😮

Hmmm looks like a bike Hasbro would make if it was for a Transformer movie

Never thought it could be possible to design a bike uglier than the HD Pan American. Kudos to BMW for such a stunning achievement.

One positive thing is the owners of the 1250 gsa will have bike's that will be going up in value big time 😊

I would definitely buy one if I wanted to invade Poland. Berlin to Warsaw in one tank. The looks are growing on me tho'.

BMW cock up designs fairly regularly Remember the 1200ST? The 1200CL? The Scarver? There were others too All monstrously hideous and subsequently didn't sell This is in the same vein I thought the regular GS was bad but this is an Early Learning Centre toaster! What were they thinking?!

That sphincter headlight could not have found a more perfect home.

Ooh, the designers of the XM, the iX and the M3 nostrils have hot hold of the GSA. Looks like Robocop spares have been used on the tank. Bit of an eye lemon.

The designer must have been pissed when he designed it

Price of 1250s just went up 😂

Whoever has designed this needs sacking.

I'm fortunate in life I've never been to a BMW dealership and never will 😀

Need to see one for real, but on the basis of these photos, oh dear!

It’s Mum loves it. In the same way I don’t need my coffee mug to have a temperature gauge, I don’t want a bike with 57 tech features. About as far removed from pure riding as is possible.

Designer and product manager to be fired immefiately.

Who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour 😂

Liking this redesign quite a bit. Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh.

Man reads PDF Man struggles to hide disappointment 😂😂😂

I like the look of it, R80 Dakar tank,

It looks like a sardine can on wheels hahaha

22 R1250GSA owner here and I am proud to say for the first time in my life I am not at all excited to sell or upgrade my bike to the newest model. Until 2 factors happens. 1. I pay off my bike. 2. They change the headlight. Otherwise my bike is far to sexy lol.

If Starship Troopers was a motorcycle.

No clutch lever is going to make wheelies tough, which is probably 50% of the reason I ride a motorbike 😂😂

Looks like a Harley Davidson Pan America

The hoops on the tank are for the compulsory tarpaulin, the same as on a builders skip

It’s hilarious that we’re now saying the headlight looks good but makes sense when the rest of the bike looks like it was designed on an Etch-a-Sketch…..🤦‍♂

I am so glad I bought the last 1250 gsa

Looks like kryten from red dwarf designed the tank inspired by his head!

It's 'RETRO'! Introducing the new 'toaster tank GS'! 🤣

Sensible analysis Chris, thanks. As with the 1300 when it came out, it took seeing them in the metal for the design to make sense.

looks like a LEGO bike hahaha there is just one...R 1250 GS Adventure!!!!

The design of this bike is absolutely horrendous. I’d take the silver panels off and spray them Matt black probably . They’ll make one and call it black edition and charge a few grand more.

Looks a bit like the Harley Davidson. Considering they were quick to adopt the ride height system, maybe they had a bit of a crush on that bike / concept.

It's off-road safety design, for how can a bear chase you if he can't bear looking at the bike you sit on?

The old Honda step through’s had a gearbox like that years ago. I quite enjoyed mine.

Its the new toaster tank BMW...except you can toast the entire loaf...

Harley Panamerica + VStrom 1050 = R1300GS Adventure
