The new BMW R1300 GS is one of the most anticipated motorcycles of 2023. We had the chance to try it and we wanted to make something special. We went for a ride trough the famous Transfagarasan Road that changed the autumn colors for the perfect snowy white! Enjoy!

What's bothering me with the new design is the weird headlight design, i mean the DRLs mainly. in every angle it looks weird and out of place like an afterthought š .. It might have looked decent without that DRL design :). The weight loss, refinement s and more ergonomic shape and design is awesome and welcomed. Especially for those who want to use this bike for more serious adventure touring :). But in reality most Buy ir for weekend rides and more sport touring type long rides and the adv characteristic just comes in handy in sketchy situations :). and for me what I loved about the 1250 GSA specifically is that beefy muscular look with that wide 30L tank and the headlight design etc. It looked distinctive and iconic :).. this new design now just blends in with every other mid to heavy ADV segment bikes.

Apex predator! Iām not crazy about the indicators integrated into the hand guards, seems prone to breaking.
How would you compare the wind protection to the Honda AT now as I remember the test you and Christian did and the rain was pouring down and the GS had the better weather protection
Thanks for the informative video.
Iām 1.86. Do you think that the high seat will be more comfortable?
How will that be with the wind screen protection?
Did you notice the big bear at the 1.10min mark in this video? Is that a standard thing?š®
Man, it's se foloseČte cĆ¢nd nu ai subiect. CĆ¢nd ai subiect Ć®n propoziČie se foloseČte is. No offence
Just came back from the dealer. I was surprised that off the side stand the new bike takes noticeable more effort to set upright than the 1250 GSA. At 80kgs the GSA with two hands on the steering bars and a lean-on with my hips, the bike is up effortlessly. On the 1300 GS it also requires a push of the legs. I tried this multiple times alternating, wanting to be wrong. But no, convinced it takes more effort on the new. Don't know what it is. Maybe the cylinders are now higher with the gear box under, and looking to keep the same clearance. In this particular aspect feels more Ducati like, top heavy. A shame. The magic of the weightlessness of the big giant seems to be gone. Which was what made the previous bike incredibly easy to live with; and this comparison is with the GA and old GSA!. Let's see when the GSA 1300 comes out, but my suspicion is that people will not the thrilled.
Great Review. Thanks for that! if you want a perfect Adventure Bike. I think this blows everything else away! I will hold on to my 1250 Gs Adventure for about 2 years longer and wait up the coming 1300GS options. i know there is more to come…..
Cool insights, thx!
Nice review. But probably this is the ugliest bike and illogic bike on market!! Why u hell need electric windshield, blinkers in the handguards, totally ugly front lightsā¦ not sure about new gs
Front headlight looks like a butthole
Looks like a good bike. But it's not a GS
Excellent review!
The previous model has a better seating position.
Wov, are those real bears? @1:11
Keren…
Very disappointed, especially as a tall rider. Hope the GSA will have less cramped ergonomics and not look like a postman moped. š¢
The same useless and dangerous in a city traffic Italian mirrors again and again on each new GS model for more then 10 years. Hey BMW, stop doing this. Start to respect buyers.
that was a big bear. the bike is fantastic. so is the scenery.
Is there an option to get rid of all the unnecessary stuff like indicators in the hand-guards, the warning in the mirrors, the adaptive cruise control, the assisted centre stand. Iād like more protection on the hand-guards covering the while of the top. I donāt like the headlight looks like it was smacked with a frying pan. The old headlight was rugged and attractive. Also how do you get a cable to your handlebars from the usb in the glove compartment?
Is this chain drive or shaft drive?š
The voice of a experienced rider .. subbed
Center stand.
What about the wind howling through the fairing.
Thankfully they have solved all the issues of the others…..I mean the 1200 was the best bike ever – then the 1250 came along and fixed all the problems on the best bike ever. Now I fully expect the 1300 to fix all the faults of the previous best bike ever. And if you are a journalist, at no point should you criticise a GS as it's Emperors New Clothes.
Soā¦you did a ktm1290 adv v r1250gs on track test. Which one would win now? R1300gs or the KTM?
I was in Transfagarasan Road 2 months ago ā¤
Nice bro in India

Love your vids man. I ride a r1200rt, looking at the new GS. I don`t like gold wheels, or bars. Ever.
GS Spirit is lost! This is an ugly chinese bike or expensive scotter. Welcome DesertX!
