Watch BMW R 1250 GSA review
Watch the ABR BMW R 1250 GSA review and find out whether the unofficial king of adventure bikes really lives up to the hype.
The BMW R 1250 GS Adventure has topped motorcycle sales charts and been a willing accomplice on long-distance journeys throughout the globe for years.
From tackling the Road of Bones to sparkling in the sunshine outside Starbucks, and everything in between.
If motorcycle adventures are involved, chances are they’ve been done on a GSA.
But does the reality of riding BMW’s flagship adventure live up to the hype? Is it really as good as its many, many owners say? Or is there a touch off the Emperor’s new clothes to the GSA?
To find out, James spent eight months living with the big Beemer, culminating in a 3,000 mile two-up tour of France.
Watch the ABR Verdict below to find out how the BMW GSA performs as a commuter, a weekend tourer, an off-roader, a continental mile-crusher, and as a pillion carrier.
