I’ve never ridden a BMW GS before. And I wasn’t expecting to for this video, either. But for one reason or another here I am with the new R 1300 GS fitted with the optional Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) automated gearbox for the full tech overload. Peak mid-life crisis cliché? Or actually a cool bike? Join me for a journey of discovery through some traditional winter weather on some favourite English roads…
