Is the new R1300GSA still up to the 'go anywhere' spirit of the GS line?
The GS series has a history of being the 'ultimate go anywhere' adventure bike, capable of road touring and serious off roading. The introduction of the R1300GS Adventure has some riders questioning whether the new model retains this versatility, or if it’s more on the one side of the spectrum. With updated suspension, a new frame and new electronics, it remains to be seen how they will affect the bike's performance in different terrains. It might be more road-biased, say some, and others argue that the updates improve the off road capabilities. The R1300GSA is the latest chapter in this debate, which questions whether the GS series continues to represent the adventurous spirit that has made these bikes so popular with long distance travelers and off road enthusiasts alike.
Absolutely! In addition, the new suspension and electronics actually make it even more capable off-road, and improve on road comfort.
It is too road focused these days. Each new generation, however, loses a bit of that raw, go any where spirit.
It is more versatile than ever. You can adjust it to suit any terrain with the adjustable ride modes.
A go-anywhere bike it may be, but let’s be honest, most owners won’t take it off road anyway.
I’ve run mine on some gnarly trails and it’s handled better than the 1250 ever did. It's a true all-rounder.
There is the spirit, but the execution is different. Now it's more high tech, which some purists might not like.
Now it goes anywhere more comfortably. These improvements make long distance adventure riding less tiring.
