Back in Black. 2018 BMW R1200 GS Adventure

So an impromptu 'review' of the updated 2018 GS Adventure with TFT and SOS.
I missed this bike SO much and now... "I feel like me again" (find this book in the self help section at Waterstones.)

They’re such a good bike. Got my first one back in May, have wanted one for a long long time. 9 year old GSA, just ticked over 16, 000 miles. It’s mint and brought it back home to the Isle of Man where it was originally registered. Mega mega machine. Euro road trip is getting planned.

Great to hear your shared enthusiasm for the GS. After watching your exploits on the 2014 model I decided to buy one
based almost entirely on your recommendations. Now 18 months on I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
Rode to Reigate from Guildford on Monday in minus 3 with heavy snow, far from being scary it was actually great fun and
I had a smile on my face throughout.
Thanks for sharing your excitement with your new bike, keep up the excellent content and a Merry Christmas to you.

I bought my first GS 3 weeks ago and it’s everything you said in your review. What really surprised me was how well it handles, absolutely amazing. I’m only 5’7” and with a low seat option it’s just fine.

The SOS button has two modes depending on how you press it. A long despairing press, will have a bespoke beard delivered by drone. A short press will begin playing a Nick Saunders video as he circumnavigates the globe on an R1..

Everything you've said about this bike is basically why I'm in love with my k1600. BMW just know what the rider needs to make the ride a joy every time

Between this video and the 44 Teeth review of the Tiger that's 40mins of Baron goodness in one day... I'd pay to have that level of content each week. Really appreciate your efforts Chris and glad to see you enjoying motorcycling in the purest way of just being out and on a machine that makes you feel free (physically and mentally). Love everything you do!

Thank you so much, Chris for supplying us with honest and clever takes on bikes and surroundings. My hat is off to you, opening up about your bipolar condition (?). Not many have the guts to do so.

Two videos in two days, after months of you working hard and being quiet! Glad you are back BvG!

[legolator]

Double bloody upload (44teeth+BvG). 'tis a good day.

[HailtotheKing]

Im glad you enjoy your new bike 👍
Thanks for bringing us real content in the clickbait world of youtube.
Stay the way you are Mr Baron ✌️

Bought my GS on the back of watching yours and other videos absolutely raving about one. Had it 12 months and 1300miles later I’m still in love with it. Absolute Jizz machine.

She's a beauty!!! I love it!!! Congrats mate!!! I wanted to thank you for all you do for us followers with providing us with such fantastic videos! I can't get enough of them! I really appreciate all you've done for me! You've got me out riding much more than ever, regardless of the weather, and you've improved my outlook on being out on the road, even when dealing with a lot of fucksticks! If you ever come out to The Circuit of The Americas, I'd love to meet you in person! Cheers mate! Enjoy your new toy!

[davelassell]

Happy to see you happy again, man. There really is something about a well-setup, big adventure bike that is just extra fun.

[jamesdawson]

So pleased you've got your mojo back. I completely understand the allure of a bike that does it all!! Absolutely spaffing! !!!

[carandmel]

Having many friends from England, you Baron, sir, are the most proper and most eloquent of what the british have to offer. Your review made me more confident in my decision to buy me one. Cheers.

[vitogiacalone]

Just completed my order today and this black beauty will be here in April, thank you for your videos and comments, helped quite a bit in my decision.

[RGJDCoy]

Thanks Chris, all that you said resonated, it’s great that you have good people that stand by you! 🤩👍

[craigsellars]

Thank God....The Baron is BACK !!! And on a GSA no less. Baron, I can hear the "Alps calling" lol. Love this Bike, it's the speck I'm getting but in White/Blue Rallye colors.

[TheMissendenFlyer]

Completely agree with you on the mighty GSA, without a doubt the best bike I have ever ridden (and I've ridden quite a few now), there are no downsides other than that salty price - sadly way out of my league so I'll be sticking with my 2014 GS TE for ever more (which cost me £18K by the time I finished so I'm feeling a bit hard done by having heard you got your GSA for £16!!). What I would say is that it's very cheeky of BMW to make that gorgeous TFT screen an optional extra, no one will buy the analoque version and I agree with you again that having a gloss screen on the Nav 6 makes no sense at all, especially given the TFT is matt! Good luck getting the phone integration to work by the way, buggered if i could when i borrowed one....All the best and enjoy! - TMF

Love it. Please do more adventure bike reviews on 44t. There's a whole population of bikers who aren't fussed about sports bikes
Great to see you back
