  • Hey Rev-viewers!!
    Welcome back to the channel and if you are new here thank you so much for checking us out!
    So happy to bring you this Ride & Review video on the brand new 2021 BMW R1250GS Adventure 40th Special Edition!!
    Stunning machine to look at and this was the GSA TE version as well so packed with all of the very best features and technology that motorbikes can have.
    The weather was very changeable and the rain does clean up after 10 mins but it was a great test for the motorbike as we covered many different road types, wet and dry.
    So really hope you enjoy this one and if you do please feel free to give it a like and comment as that really helps the channel to grow (CZcams stuff).

    The perfected Swiss army knife of motorcycles. Will be getting one soon as my retirement present to myself in the triple black with gold spoked wheels. Really appreciate the 30ltr tank as I live in Australia, and it's a bloody big country! Love the review brother, well presented. Definitely subbed mate. Stay safe.

    I thought I could consolidate a couple bikes with this. I thought I might be able to consolidate my Triumph Tiger Rally Pro and my BMW K1600 GTL. After riding it, I realized it wasn’t anywhere close to the touring and sporting capability of the K1600 and would simply replace the Tiger. It’s such a good all-rounder, but if you really want decent off-road or great touring, I don’t think this is the one. For me, I have 5 bikes so I don’t need to choose, but if I needed to do off-road, but I also needed everyday ride ability and touring too, I’d probably consolidate to this and a sport/supernaked bike.

    • @Revviews
      @Revviews  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Dale, the GSA is quite a bit more comfortable than the XR. Mainly its a trade off from the XR being sportier for comfort. But the GSA is still nimble and has lower down torque. I just got a new exhaust for my 2020 XR and the sound....wow. you'll see soon. Finishing up a video on it. Might get the M seat as well. Anything else just ask bud. Cheers 🍻

      Tough one as both are excellent. If not doing off road much I would say the KTM as it is much lighter. That was the S model though. Normal GS (not adventure) is also lighter. Really will come down to personal preference.

    I had the yellow and black R100GS. What’s the main difference between the GSA and the other versions? Guzzi comparison the V85tt?. I saw a review where the guy was pushing one of these with a flat battery after not riding it for 10 days. My question is - is there a menu mode you can check the state of the battery like your tyre pressures ? Fuel injection, big Bings no more?

    • @Revviews
      @Revviews  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Andrew, yes there is a menu to check the bike info and tyre pressures. Can't comment on the battery life, pretty sure that's not a normal thing. Not heard of it before.
      Main difference with the Adventure is the engine cages and protection compared with a regular GS. Also the GSA has a a different suspension setup with longer travel so you can do proper off road. The normal GS is really better as a sports tourer with light off road ability. Hope this helps. Cheers 🍻

    Just watched KTM/BMW vids back to back. Impressed with the in depth detail considering the time restriction. You seemed a bit more excitable on the KTM, expressing the thought that you could be tempted to make it your next bike. Did you think the KTM the better bike?

      Hi George and thank you for watching. For me personally I would say that yes I did actually prefer the KTM however it's just based on my thoughts and how it would fit into my life and style of riding. Not taking anything away from the GSA as that is also fantastic. Are you in the market for one of these at the moment? Would you take it off road proper?
