BMW GS Head To Head | New Vs Old In 4K Goodness!

Chris thought it was about time we showed the BMW GS some love, so we have three of them for a GS head to head. We've got the 1150 GS adventure, a R 1200 GS Adventure and finally a brand new R 1250 GS Rallye. Can you afford £17,000 for a new GS, check out some older slightly used options...

Chris, you are hands down the best motorcycle's presenter / test driver on the internet. Keep up the great work man!

I'd like to see more of these types of tests with modern, few years old and budget versions for all the different genres of bikes. Especially useful for those like me who would be lucky to scrape together a couple of grand for a bike and spending the same on a bike as our mortgage costs isn't an option!

I like Chris reviews because he can expalin things in simple way and he test the bikes with no mercy additude. All the best for 2022.

Chris is just amazing. He rides motorcycles like the gods, and is a fun and honest presenter. Keep it up!

[bruceleong]

I can only dream of having the skills and confidence to ride a 260kg + GS like that. Best wishes for the new year Chris.

Ive owned a 1200gs, currently a 900 tiger... and I like to pride myself in my riding abilities on and off road... you sir make me realize I suck. Thank you. Great riding!

Picked up my new GSA Rallye last week. Best bike ever made.

[jsoloughlin]

Agree 100% with previous comment - best presenter, keeps it simple and relevant, - best test driver, clearly shows what can be done if you had the skill. Thanks you.

Chris Northover …. Utterly brilliant. I’m delighted to see his career go from strength to strength.

[GSMicrobe]

give that 1150 some love dude, I got one and I think it's awesome. Just maintain them well and it will make sure you can travel around the world with 0 problems

[davidhughes]

Loved that, great to see someone capable of riding big adventure bikes to their full potential. 👌

Moons ago my then girlfriend and I flew over to Vancouver BC in an attempt to find her estranged father who she had never really known.
I booked a 1150GS as a hire bike to get us on our quest, when I arrived at the bike hire shop they had given it to someone else!
We toured around Vancouver on a 1150R; a great bike two up with luggage which handled perfectly throughout the month we were there, even managed to find her Dad.
I have never ridden a GS to this day, perhaps I'll give one a go.
Have a good one Chris 👍🏻.

Just bought a standard 1250 GS. Stumbled across this review and loved it great job. I have been riding since the age of 8 in a farmers field, but having just retired, I am afraid that my GS will be limited to UK and European roads, with my wife and luggage .... I do have a 250 dirt bike, but I don't ride it much as I have found over the years that I don't bounce as well as I did :(
Thanks for a great review....

I went from a GS Adventure to a Triumph Tiger and immediately went back to BMW. Hands down the best all around MC made

[SMITESHSURESH]

That's got to be one of the most enjoyable GS vs GS comparison video I've seen 👌🏻

[markaudley-thewles]

Chris your reviews are so good. It’s not about you, but the bike . Really appreciate your experience and honesty . Easily the best motorcycle reviewer in the UK 👏

[JDelta]

I want to learn and develop off-road riding skills but, in the meantime these videos are motivating and downright entertaining to watch. Thanks again, Chris and Bike World crew!

[stevecsongvay]

Fantastic summary and great comparison. Being a total off road novice it gives me a little more confidence to give the GS a go. Many thanks!!

[mfpix]

Enjoyed your commentary at the NEC. This is a good video. Great to see comparison with previous models

[IRLtrolls]

Wow the production on this video is incredible and the rider is very impressive. This guy could have a million subscribers on his own.
