The BMW GS is aptly known as the “Swiss Military Knife” of bikes as a result of it’s succesful at so many issues. The R 1300 GS and its smaller cousins, 650, 800, and 850 GSes have all the time been snug and confidence-inspiring machines. Whereas some initially say the BMW R 1200 GS and R 1250 GSes are “heavy” and “huge” due to the massive engines, I discover that to not be the case in any respect. And as soon as underway, they provide an exceptionally easy snug journey.
That consolation stays true for the 2024 R 1300 GS, with one fascinating twist. The brand new bike feels noticeably smaller, extra slender, decrease, and extra lithe than its 1200 and 1250 predecessors. The driving place is a little more ahead and aggressive.
