What's your annual maintainace cost? And Would you be comfortable on it for a 2000+ miles trip?

just works, and works perfectly <3

I have 2013 blue version. Everything is near perfect. 9/10. Brakes, suspension, engine, power, torque, fuel consumption… many people dont know how this bike is good, they buy a GS. R 1200 R is not on the price.. i think that in some tearms R is better than GS.. I needed to hear this to confirm my thoughts..

Great video. Different bikes for different times in our lives. I’ve been riding for 50 years, rode my 1978 KZ 750(also 2 cylinder) to high school and that’s a big part of the reason I just bought a leftover 2022 Z650RS in this Candy Emerald Green. I’m in my 60’s and moving around my 850 pound Harley isn’t getting any easier. I find myself sitting in my garage just staring at my new Kawasaki. I’m still breaking the engine in so haven’t been able to have to much fun yet because it’s so cold here now. I like your narration, it’s like listening to my buddy talking about one of his past bikes while I drink a beer. Stay safe

so true

good reason...man. I'll want one.

I have two of those - 98 with 21” front wheel and completely stock 99. Don’t see any need to upgrade. 100% happy with the bikes. Hall, pivot, shaft grease and gearbox bearing replacement and general look into stuff in there every 80kkm and you’re golden. Engines will last 300-400kkm with no problem. Bike keeps up with the modern GSs on curvy roads and toasts in the twistiest everything else if only the tarmac is anything but perfect. Although I have quite an experience off road this bike fuckin hates sand esp with street tires. Good fuel economy and enough power to loose license in an instant. I have covered stretches of autobahn with panniers doing 180-190kmh - the bike was just like on rails. In general nowadays as of 2024 the whole r1100 lineup is an incredible deal - rt, rs, s - can be had for little money and these bikes do deliver. ❤❤❤

This is a great video man. Makes me want to buy one of these things

Temporary motorcyclist.

My 96 r1000gs is older than I am, and ticked over to 175000kms today, oldie but a goodie, tourer and commuter. standard headers, de-cat and bosson slip on, haven't heard another gs that sounds as good

Because I live in the Netherlands I bought a 1150 for it’s sixth gear if I want to do nice twisty roads I have to ride minimum 300 km of highway. Other than that I like the looks of the 1100 but I am missing a sixth gear. Nice bike do 🤙🏽

I know gs1100 has issues with transmission but is the dry clutch relable if u use it in heavy off-road situations? Or it's just gonna get too hot and u r fucked up?

Great video, congrats for the image and sound quality

곰 안나오냐?

Good job Levi. I'm glad I got you thinking. I wish you many more safe trips. Uncle Robby.

Great to see you are having fun with it! Got a 97' last year and already put it through the tet in croatia,hungary and poland. Great gravel machine but really struggled with deeper sand in poland. After my recent trip I will be downgrading to a lighter bike for solo travel though, got into some situations where the gs was just too heavy to get out alone.

Jai une GS de 1998, cest la moto la plus attachante que jai eu, il me tarde de partir avec pour une ballade de plusieurs jours, merci pour cette vidéo !

moto brother, we have the same machine and the same gloves.... respect....

The R1200r is not just a motor, it is a state of maturity and that is why it is not accepted by immature boys but by mature men....

Over the summer I was in Thailand. It was freaking hot so I thought of leaving the gear off as I felt particularly confident with my bike there… A day later I had a crash and except for some small bruises I had nothing because I was wearing my Kevlar jeans and gloves… instead of all the other tourists with bandages everywhere

the production quality of this video is really good for a channel of this size

When you ride a 115cc underbone in downtown Athens to save time and fuel and never reach 60kph, you only need a helmet, cause 90% of the time you're passing stopped traffic. That's what biking is in the majority of the world, a way to avoid traffic and save money on fuel.

Your riding your bike to a job interview wearing full leathers and race boots. Not suitable for an interview.

I am like a full grown child😂😂 in my head when i wear my gear i have a clone trooper armor on and when i go on a bike ride its a bit like i am a trooper on a speeder bike😂😂. I know its a bit childish but it does keep me save.

Dress for the slide, not the ride. The thing is, I know I'm a safe rider. But I also know others aren't as safe as I am and I do share the road with them. I wear gear, because I acknowledge that I share the road with a million idiots at any given time. I also understand that those idiots don't even have to be near me, maybe their car leaks oil or diesel, maybe they're just antisocial twirps that throw crap out of the window onto the road. Maybe they're a farmer who drove his dirty tractor down the road after spreading manure on a field and left a dirty, slippery road in their wake. Maybe they're a lazy trucker who didn't properly cover their load and they lost a bunch of sand. As for gear being too hot, have 2 sets of gear. I have summer gear that's very well ventilated, and 3-season gear that's waterproof and comes with removable thermal liners.

I'd rather sweat than bleed, simple as that ;)

It is often said that everyone eventually crashes but this is false. There is a cost - benefit where the cost is garenteed but the benefit of gear is not always realised. For me, helmet, boots and gloves is a no brainer on just about every ride. I also wear a jacket all the time but it is a sacrifice when it is hot. Riding jeans i wear most of the time but sometimes i don't if i want to wear dress pants at my destination. I think ATGAT is over simplified. There is a big diference between buzzing down to the park at 20 mph in shorts t-shirt and running shoes (which i admit i have done half a dozen times) or riding on a highway at 70mph without a Jacket.

I am very very grateful I wore a full leather when I had my accident. I've never rode a motorcycle since, cause in rehab I saw people who had lost both arms or had other serious injuries.

Really interesting video, surprised it doesn't have a lot more views!

I am torn on whether to go for an 1100GS or 1200GS. I used to own an R850R but sold that and bought a Triumph Thunderbird 900 which is too nice to ride in the winter. What made you buy the 11?

Nice machines combination

One of the things I like most about my '94 1100GS is the ease it takes luggage. Full loaded up with holiday gear it still handles great and going through the Pyrenees is still a blast.

Mooi ruitje 😂 👍

Just bought one same colour here in Australia. Only gripe is the soft front suspension I’ll probably upgrade this and a pipe that’s stained beyond repair.

He sounds like ictimus prime

Sport bikes don't take away from the journey. It's the rider who takes away and gives back. All on hownto ride and what your looking or at

I've put 50k on mine (it's at 90k)...for me its that no road/track is out of bounds. Couple that with the telelever and the comfort and you just don't need to stop (does anyone want to stop a good thing). Nice film work (and enthusiasm)👍👌

I think this is one of the best power to weight ratio retro bikes in this cc class. If there is one better let me know.

Schön da im Rothaargebirge…wenn mal in der 🇨🇭bist melde dich…Grüsse von ner 98er GS

do you think it could make it to 190kmph? I'm trying to decide between this and the xsr700

Well handschoentjes aan he #OmeRobbie

Just came across your channel. I like your style

That's a great tribute to your R1200R! 😎 Sorry to hear you've sold it,but I hope you enjoy the GS. I'm about to move to a new city, and I'm glad my R1200R is coming with me! 🙂

I love mine

I needed to hear this 😊

I have a old 96 model and the handling is still great

We have a saying in Greece....:at the end we all get a GS "

It's hard to find good riding videos about Z650RS. It's a wonderful bike, I love it. Thank you for the video. I really like to start recording my own videos with my Z650RS, but IDK where to start or what to buy.

Love the soundtrack music. I bought the 50th anniversary edition, Red and Brown. Love just looking at it. Being in my 60s, the style is what attracted me to this bike. Reminds me of my dad's motorcycle he rode in the 70s. Perfect power and handling for me. Just wish my knees would love the bike as much as I do. Thanks for making the review,
