The 2025 R1300GS Adventure (R1300GSA) - Love it or leave it?

[Grumpy Goat]

I could have sworn that there was a thread on this Forum Community on the new R1300GSA, but I guess I was wrong. Well, here is one now.

I will be the first to admit, when the first photos of the new R1300 GSA were released, I gagged ... it was even worse looking than the R12xxGSA! Despite the "regular" R1300GS having the weird X-shaped headlight, but still looking the best of all of its predecessors (to my eye).

Then a weird thing happened ... the R1300GSA grew on me despite not having seen any in the flesh ... just from pictures and videos - see attached photos from BMW Motorrad - there are lots of other photos on the web, of course.
