Let me know what you think back to back on the transmission. My GS is SO much better shifting then my 15 RT was. I cant stress that to people enough.

If it was today, and I had a 15 RT (GS/GSA), and I was taking a bit of a financial bath, I would move to a 1250 with no doubt or any though what so ever. So you probably would loose as much going to a 18, as you would going to a 19 in your case. I for sure could be wrong on that.

I don"t know about a trap for farkel needy, but it is enticing. I mean guys pay 2K+ for full exhaust systems to gain 2HP, and to their ear, better sound.

That said with the issues that guys seem to be having, although a software update is supposed to be helping that issue, it does not interest me in the least Just as I could do without keyless start, I can do without the TFT.

OK, we get it; the outgoing R 1200 GS encompassed serious potential and would tackle just about everything thrown in its way. So sure, you can keep on riding your old companion with no serious issue.

But BMW Motorrad strives for absolute adventuring touring perfection. With that idea in mind, BMW relaunched the 2019 model year with everything need to push the boundaries of adventuring, and nothing it doesn’t. It’s got more pep, state-of-the-art rider aid technology, and improved comfort features to make your ride that much more enjoyable.

Below, we explore the upgrades of the R 1250 GS and R 1250 GS Adventure, pointing out key updates from the outgoing model. This is the upper echelon of ADV touring.

Previous GS owners beware: A few miles aboard the updated R 1250 GS or GS A can and will urge you to trade in your old steed for the latest and greatest. Cough…we did exactly that.

The additional displacement is a direct result of BMW revising the basic architecture of the engine’s cylinders. Motorrad increased the bore and stroke measurement to 102.5 X 76.0mm on the new layout, varying from the 101.0 X 73.0mm that dates back to the ’04 R 1200 GS.

BMW Motorrad claims that the new GS produces 136 horsepower at 7750 rpm, while producing a peak 105 pound-feet of torque at 6250 rpm. In comparison, that’s an 11 horsepower and 13 pound-feet of torque increase over the outgoing R 1200.

The new engine shines on top and continues pulling to its 9,000 rpm, meaning plenty of passing power for the open roads and speed to rip from one corner to the next.

On the low end, however, is where the ShiftCam proves its worth. Navigating through rocky, technical terrain, the power delivery of the R 1250 GS is exceptionally smooth and controllable. Consider the GS a tractor at slow speeds, with the capability of ripping impromptu third-gear wheelies on the highway.

What a time to be an ADV rider! BMW Motorrad has equipped the BMW R 1250 GS with a full suite of electronic rider aids—many of which taken from its endeavors in the open-class sportbike market—aimed at improving safety, comfort and efficiency during the long haul, without taking away from the emotion-evoking personality of the legendary ADV platform.

Fully equipped, the BMW R 1250 GS is almost infinitely tunable to rider preference. The additional $3500 Premium Package opens the doors to full adjustability of the motorcycle’s Pro Riding Modes, throttle response settings, including Dynamic Traction Control levels, ABS Pro settings, and Dynamic Brake Control (a whiskey throttle safety net!).

Of course, each of the adjustable rider aids is tuned through a very large and easily readable 6.5 inch TFT color dashboard, which features a large tachometer, gear-position reading, and more.

The larger displacement GS sees significant improvements to its powerplant, including BMW ShiftCam technology which works to optimize and improve power output across the rev range.

Believe us when we say the beloved GS hasn’t lost its character, only gained improvements that will keep it on top of the ADV market for years to come.

Simply use Bluetooth to connect with your motorcycle—which is equipped with Connectivity and TFT—and establish a connection to your communication system, if present. No matter whether you select winding or direct routes, verbal announcements and arrow indications that are easily visible in the TFT ensure that our app and your motorcycle will safely get you to your destination. Thanks to operation on the handlebars, you not only have navigation, telephony and music right at hand, but you also get an overview of the most important riding or vehicle data at the same time.

•The app is part of BMW Motorrad Connectivity and can only be used actively in combination with vehicles with a TFT display. The connection between smartphone, vehicle and communication system, if present, is established wirelessly via Bluetooth. Operation is possible using the multicontroller on the handlebars. To output music, telephony and navigation information, the use of the BMW Motorrad communication system is recommended.

•Be aware that the functionality of your smartphone and the connection to the vehicle also depends on national requirements and conditions, and therefore cannot be guaranteed by BMW Motorrad at any time.

While that includes all of the GS lineups, generally speaking, when people talk about the GS, it’s usually in reference to the big-displacement versions: the R 1100 GS, R 1150 GS, R 1200 GS, and now the R 1250 GS.

However, the perfect, maintenance-free, and problem-free, motorcycle doesn’t exist, and like all bikes out there, the BMW GS is subject to problems. Some of these you might call quirks, while others might consider flat-out safety issues.

Here, we’re going to talk about the top five issues and problems GS owners have faced and what you can do about it. Keep in mind that all of these issues are relatively rare.

We start this list with the biggest issue to be concerned about. On some of the water-cooled R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure models, a shocking amount of owners have experienced the fork tube splitting from the fork cap–we don’t need to explain why a separated fork tube can be dangerous, do we?

The exact reason for the separation is a little unclear. The most obvious answer would be from repeated stress, like the kind of stress a motorcycle like the R 1200 GS would experience especially off-road.

Nonetheless, this is a severe problem and BMW has acted by issuing a global recall on R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure models built between November 2013 - June 2017.

Under the recall, BMW will inspect the bike and measure the amount of separation between the top cap and the fork. If it’s more than the recommended tolerance, BMW will repair or replace the parts for free.

In most circles, this is when the vehicle goes into “limp mode.” This happens on certain GS models due to camshaft position sensors that go haywire and think the camshaft angle offset to the crankshaft is wrong.

There are few things as embarrassing as motorcyclists than thinking your sidestand is down when it’s really not and watching your bike fall to the ground. However, in the case of the littlest member of the GS family, the G 310 GS, if this happens to you it may actually be the bike’s fault.

BMW issued a recall for the 310 GS (and 310 R, which shares the same frame) sidestands because the stands, or even the frames themselves (presumably the mounting tab where the stand mounts to the frame), could be faulty and cause the bike to fall over.

This one isn’t nearly as common, but it happens enough to make it worthy of this list. Some GS owners report faulty kill switches, or engine cutoff switches, as BMW dealers call them. Unlike many other manufacturers who use large, robust red switches, the kill switch on the GS is a little red tab you thumb over.

As mentioned before, the issue isn’t common enough to warrant any sort of recall, so if you find yourself with a bad kill switch, you can do a few things. First, you can simply turn off the bike with the key.

While not necessarily a “problem” per se, some owners of the liquid-cooled GS report weeping from the water pump. Unlike the GS, owners of other liquid-cooled BMW models have noted more serious water pumps issues.

Without proper, or any, cooling, this will obviously cause catastrophic damage to your engine. Some slight weeping seems to be normal and isn’t cause for concern, but it’s worth keeping an eye on and replacing if/when it goes beyond a weep and moves to droplets on the ground.

If that happens, try and get it replaced under warranty. If you can’t for whatever reason, revised water pump designs have been reported to solve the issue for thousands upon thousands of trouble-free miles.

By and large, most people will agree that the GS is a strong, robust, and reliable motorcycle, capable of carrying you for thousands and thousands of miles and campsites.

BMW Motorrad announced several updates for its line-up. The revised R1200GS will receive a full TFT dashboard and a Rallye pack which includes a BMW-Motorsport inspired color theme, rallye seat and an enduro-special short wind-screen. Moreover, besides the Enduro Pro riding mode, the new Adventure will feature a Dynamic Pro Riding mode.

The 6.5 inch full color TFT Display will be accessed through the handlebar controller and can be connected to your smartphone providing navigation. The new Connectivity option will be launched in autumn 2017 on the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. Further models will follow.

BMW Motorrad is now expanding its individualisation range with BMW Motorrad Spezial and is offering distinctive-design, performance and value enhancing as well as exclusive customisation options ex works. For the start the new offer includes special paint finishes for selected models through high-quality milled parts packages to forged wheels. BMW also announced new colors for most of its models.
