Is the R1300GSA's new tech overkill for an adventure bike?
23 January 2025 11:22
Totally overkill. Simple and robust is what adventure bikes should be. It’s just more stuff to break when I’m out in the middle of nowhere.
Will the R1300GSA's added power make it too much for a beginner?
23 January 2025 11:22
It's definitely not the most beginner friendly. More power equals more responsibility and new riders can get in over their heads.
Is the new R1300GSA still up to the 'go anywhere' spirit of the GS line?
23 January 2025 11:22
Absolutely! In addition, the new suspension and electronics actually make it even more capable off-road, and improve on road comfort.
Is the R1250GSA really worth the upgrade from the R1300GSA?
23 January 2025 11:22
I rode both back to back and the difference is subtle honestly. This little bit of extra processing power won’t make you a better developer unless you’re pushing the limits of what your unit can do.
What does the new design of the R1300GSA do to its iconic 'adventure bike' look?
23 January 2025 11:22
The redesign has gone too far. That unique GS character is lost, something which it had in spades and separated it from other adventure bikes.
