R1300/1400 GS wish list?
- Thread starter Hartley
- Start date
It will have these.
Changes include:
- electronic height adjustment
- improved Enduro mode
- central locking like on Ks and RT
- electric adjustment for the windshield
- configurable adaptive light
- rear radar
- M carbon package
You will be still be able to choose Exclusive, Rallye or TB styles, there will be the two familiar spoked wheel designs plus a forged Enduro wheel and a 719 wheel options, same selection of seats as now, and, surprisingly, it appears it'll keep a separate GPS unit setup.

It's not heavy enough
Needs about 50kg of lead attached somewhere high up.

How about decent paint , build quality and developing the thing properly before selling it to the public so "we" are not acting as their beta testers
You ruled one out then?
Probably the best thing they could do would be to bring in a 1,000cc GS Boxer that had shed a lot of weight and was designed for doing big miles on all kinds of terrain but that’s so far away from what the majority of buyers today expect from a GS that it’s not even remotely possible.
As a clue they could make a Desert X as opposed to the latest Multistrada and that’s the only thing that would make me consider buying a new GS.
Just about to post something similar. Why do bike manufacturers have to go bigger and bigger.

Sorry
That all ended with the 1150’s …..20 years ago
The later GS do so many things well. Fabulous all-day comfort, plenty fast enough (for what it is), excellent braking, etc. Really good bike for adventure tours.
Let down by poor cost-cut build quality. My 2018 has had more issues than any of my older BMW bikes over the last 30 years. Needs better build quality. No more chocolate cam shafts, wheels that bend easily, regular error message on TFT, etc...

Correction 11years ago with the 1200 Hexhead & no ABS to go wrong. Suspect I may regret trading in my 2012 R1200GSA, no electronics or ABS.

Well said thats exactly what i have done,after 2 x 1250 s i have went back to a twin cam,quiet motor,an ignition key,no power modes,no phone connectivity problems,and adjustable suspension,dont get me wrong the 1250 is very good to ride but to much electronic rubbish fitted.

for me, the main thing would be a quieter engine when hot on tickover , other than that i am quite happy with my 2021 GSA

a happy and blessed christmas to all

Whatever it is I have no interest in buying any new motorcycle for which the manufacturer does not make available a proper service manual and service information.
