2024 BMW R 1300 GS Test Ride

All new for 2024, the BMW 1300 GS is a complete re-design. It's got quite a bit more power, especially in the top end, it feels extremely light and guttural, with a much more hooligan-like playfulness. Somehow BMW has managed to retain most of the ergonomics, comfort, and premium fit finish and feel from the the outgoing 1250gs, while also making the bike feel extremely fun and sporty. This bike now really has a split personality, where it feels very similar to the old GS when puttering around, but when you give the bike the beans and put it in sport mode, it turns into a snarling animal-like wheelie machine, yet with the premium BMW feel we all know and love. It will be very exciting to see what they do with the upcoming Adventure model rumored for later this year. This 1300 GS is so fun, you would almost hate to put bags on it, and just keep it as a throaty sport upright sports bike.

Big thanks to BMW of South East Michigan for the test ride! Go see Jeff in sales there if you are interested in one of these.
