R1250GS What happened after 20,000 km? | LONG TERM Review after 1 year with the BMW 2019

I have had my R1250GS now for 1 year now and so here it is! My long-term review. I haven't actually been able to find many of these on the 2019 GS. Most people say that have a Long Term Review, but they only rode it for 48 hours or 1 week. This is my Every Day Rider. I ride Rain or Shine. These are my thoughts on the big boy after many trips and a lot of memories. I hope you enjoy! Ride safe guys and gals and I will see you on the pavement.
