Love the height adjustment the bike makes by itself. Great for short me…..love the streamlined look too. I have a two year old Triple Black and do love it, but this is sooo tempting.

In Africa and I am sure Australia fuel range are very important for traveling in more remote areas. Reducing the tank size are a big concern + larger capacity engine will result in smaller distance between fill ups than previous model. This could be a deal breaker if the new GSA will follow this trend. Please don't ruin the GSA with weight saving short cuts by making fuel tanks smaller. Lastly 190mm suspension travel on a adventure bike? ( Front travel as per your website on the GS model ) That's asphalt touring territory in Africa....

will there be an Adventure version of this? with 30L tank?

Sugestion; launch an option to pick-up your bike at the factory.

And to think, adaptive ride height was a Harley-Davidson innovation, a company that up until recently, had never designed an adventure class bike. Props to Harley for making our GS'es better :)

Can't wait for the release of R1300 GSA

Nice bike. I think the main problem with a previous model was a quickshifter. Is it much smoother now?

[cescoferrari]

Ciao per un pilota basso sarà più semplice sosta e ripartenza?

[benjamingrohnert]

Impressive Motorcycle and amazing landscapes of the North of Chile. What a perfect combination

[klasliesen]

Another question about seat height. How low will the seat height be with low seat and ”Adaptive vehicle height control” when stand still?

The light in the handles are a concern if you drop the bike or if you want to change to something more beefy. Any comments on that?

I ❤ this bike and can’t wait for the adventure model. I must admit, I was nervous about this new model and how it could possibly beat the 1250, especially since it’s your 100 year anniversary and your top selling motorbike, but you definitely did not disappoint. 👍 That Trophy edition is my favourite, please bring out just as stunning color on the Adventure. I did not like the front headlight at first, but it’s growing on me, reminds me of the daylight running lights on the new Porche 911.

I just bought a 2023 R1250 GS Trophy model, US variation. The ability of that telelever front end to feel absolutely intuitive and the bike turning without you even thinking about it is something that must truly be experienced in the twisties. The Santa Monica Mountains in California has the kind of roads that display this tendency.

Questions : will 1250 Vario luggage fit on the 1300. Apple car play on the 1300 tft ? Backlit control buttons ? Reduced Road /tyre noise from the front end ? Will the gsa have a larger engine as it may be badged the 1400?

When is the GSA coming? How different is it going to be?

[norm]

i like they finaly use aluminium for rear frame to lower the weight, but that exhuast is way too low for an adv

[IanTed]

I like it, especially the adaptive height for us shorties. Moved away from GSs as I got older but I’ll certainly look at this one next time…

[christophereugster]

Is there an alternative front turn signal? I use Rox hand muffs all winter which would cover the indicators.

[archjapanmotovlogs]

So an Adventure version is coming, is that how I should understand it ?

[Wolfgang-dpju]

Does the sports brake have larger brake discs, different pads or larger brake pistons or just different colour front and rear for the brake calipers?
Are they monoblocs or bolt-on calipers up front?
