Taking on the BMW R1200GS (2008 K25) | First Ride

Today, I’m taking my first-ever ride on a 2008 BMW R1200GS (K25)! After picking up this legendary adventure bike from a mate, I wanted to share my raw, unfiltered thoughts. Compared to my usual 2023 Suzuki GSX-8S, the GS feels incredibly heavy, massive, and wide. In this video, I do a full walkaround, explain exactly how I ended up bringing this bike home, and give a completely honest, beginner’s overview of what it’s like to handle a big GS for the very first time.
