I love it, great big beefy bike, looks like just the thing for the apocalypse. Also, imagine going for a ride with your mates and they have to fill up 3 times before you need to, awesome.

Where to put my coffee has always been of great concern to me when riding😂

Nice review

Cheers

[draco]

Can't take my 👀 eyes off the M3 CSL.

[laceyunderall]

Incredible looking machine. Huge road presence and still, after all these years, the benchmark for all-road long distance adventure touring.

[glowingbunny]

Honestly, for the money, I’d rather have a 2nd hand Landcruiser. Only slightly less wide/heavy…

[markhampton]

Yet again NO backlit switches OMG! Apart from that fantastic to ride. Well presented video👍👍

[MrFlowerfred]

I love it. It's fresh and modern. Makes my 1250GSA look dated.

[jwguevara]

Such a relief that they called it "Automated Shift Assistant" instead of how you referred to it as "Automated Shifter System". 😅

[Surbatron]

The flying wheelie bin, I actually quite like it.

[kkdj]

I hope it will be released globally as soon as possible. We are eagerly waiting for BMW R1300GS ADV after selling the Gold Wing we were riding. This is South Korea.

[UncleWally]

Not that handsome for adventure bikes matter but, it makes the HD’s Pan American look handsome.

[creedm]

Awesome video! I can't wait to see it in the flesh. Best!

[marcusgeorge]

Nice one Bob. Thank you. The optional Akro on first look did my head in as keeping that dual set clean won’t be as easy as the OEM exhaust can…

[michaelskinner]

Ouch! This has about the same visual charisma as a 1930's Massey Ferguson tractor.

[VelkePivo]

Much prefer this styling. Looks utilitarian and not like every other ADV

[clivegreen]

Very pro of BMW letting someone walk in front of the camera while you were obviously filming.

[christopherhorton]

And they say Germans have no sense of humour. They are having a laugh! KTM and Triumph must be rubbing their hands

[TwoGoTouring]

There once was an ugly duckling …… 18 months from now this will be the top selling adventure bike like it or not. My current 1250 GSA will look dated …… so …. I’ve ordered the new 1300 GSA.

[burrito-town]

The new 1300GS looks like a tough bike to clean. I see a lot of tight gaps where dirt can get in but fingers cannot.

[lyndonohue]

Looks are secondary to me when it comes to a bike like this, but that said I like the looks. Looks tough.
