2019 BMW R1250 GSA

So I did it, I bought a new 2019 BMW R1250 GSA to use in the western North Carolina mountains and beyond!

I rode my new BMW 1250 GSA in the 2019 Iron Butt Rally and I think it did help me due to the lighter weight and easier handling.

I crashed and totaled the first BMW R1250 GSA and I now have another one that I have setup and farkled the same as the first one. They almost would look like twins if I had them side by side.

 

 

 

 

2019 BMW 1250 GSA Information

I am starting to get farkles installed on my new BMW GSA and this webpage is where I will try and provide the how and why I did what I did.

Some Thoughts

Some of my initial thoughts

The Good

  • Great power – faster than the BMW RT up to 100 MPH – 0 to 100 was QUICK

  • Traction Control

  • Ride Modes

  • Better off road ability

  • Better gas mileage

  • More luggage space than 2018 Gold Wing

Not So Good

  • Engine is much louder – I like motorcycles that are quieter

  • Smaller rear tire - I prefer more rubber on the road

Saeng Quick Scan Mirrors

I have been using Saeng Quick Scan Mirrors for 16 years and really like the rear visibility they give me. I mount them so they are at the height that I can just give them a "quick scan" to see what is behind and beside me. With these mirrors I can see vehicles right next to me so I have no blind spots. The mirrors mount with 3M VIRB tape that works well over triple digits. The mirrors have a lot of adjustability to allow them to work on many different windscreens.
