Random and rage motorcycle moments Ep.1
Have to say enjoy your candidness in process of acquiring my firt bike am thinking of gs1200lc
You won’t regret it, great bike! Although I have not made any videos, I still ride it almost daily and have done multiple long distance trips.
I like the old dashboard
Are you still riding my friend ?
Yes sir. Life just getting in the way of me making videos.
@@FPVentures glad all is well welcome back when you can 💪
I'm out!
K bye
Music bro! 🤢🤮 just doesn't fit
Sounds like a you problem
cool
You’re right about the two different markets… I traded my 2019 Honda Goldwing DCT for a 2013 1200gs and the only thing I miss about the goldwing is the windscreen… lol but the weight and working on the goldwing was somewhat of a chore… now the gs it’s lighter looks more sporty will never hit dirt roads but will still eat up miles like a goldwing plus hold more gas so less stops…lol all in all I’m getting use to the gs more and more everyday… Ride safe and continue to enjoy that beautiful machine…
So this engine has to be sent back to Germany when its hours have been reached? Traded for a new engine? What does that cost?
I'm sorry because i don't know much about GS. Is 2016 GS still use key? Not keyless?
I have not seen a 2016 with the keyless option yet. I have seen a few 2018 and newer models with the option. Well in South Africa at least. I am not sure if it was an option on the 2016 bikes. I actually prefer a key over keyless but, it is a personal preference.
I'm being honest. In my Country (Cambodia) even GSA 2015 is smartkey (Keyless) i don't understand too. Is there an option?@@Ruansch
It was an optional extra. Not a lot of people took the options so have not seen many 2014-2017 models with the keyless option. The newer 1250 seems to come out with it as a standard option.
I have been researching all large adventure motorcycles, even a Goldwing, for the past few years. None of them “wow’d” like the GSA does. I bought my first GSA 1 week ago, a 2014 BMW R1200GSA and I still haven’t gone to the remorse stage😊. Great video and discussion.
Well said! I have not had any buyers remorse for the last few months. 15k km in about 6 months and I still love it. Although, it has been so good to me, I might have to buy my GS a friend as a reward 😁
Quality Made in Germany
Absolutly
Hello, Are you interested in testing products? We would like to invite you to test the Motorcycle phone mount for your BMW R1200 GS Adventure
Absolutely. Please email me at ruansch1988@gmail.com
Do you have any good gravel routes on South Africa that you can recommend, I'm currently in Durban.
I am not familiar with the routes in KZN as I am in WP and have not yet had the opportunity to travel by bike in KZN. I suggest checking out the Wilddog forum. There is a lot more knowledge on there.
@9:42 Decided to take a ride once, early on a Sunday morning. Like 6:30ish. Started there at the bottom of the hill and gave the bike a ear full. Got ontop of the hill to merge onto the N1, and wouldn't you guess it. A traffic officer was chilling on the side of the N1🤣🤣passed that oke at 260, he must have been befok
Awesome video! Will definitely be giving this a full watch when I get home
Appreciate the support
@2:58 That Tygervalley road, constantly do pulls under the N1 🤣🤣
I do pulls everywhere lately
Owned a F800gsa, though mainly own R1200 and 1250s, and you are correct about the maintenance cost, It's definately cheaper to service the large GS bikes. The larger bike is also far less top heavy than the mid-sized one. The only real benefit of the 800/850 is the larger 21" front wheel off road, but it's well worth the sacrifice considering how I mostly use the bike and you factor in the massive benefits. Enjoy the bike!
Where can I follow along with the build. Will this be available for kit builders?
Hi Will, As far as I know this is a prototype and development project so unsure if it will be available as a kit. I unfortunately stopped filming on this as I do not have the capacity to document this build in the detail that it deserves. You can however enquire directly at Robin Coss Aviation as they are the builders of this project. I am sure they can provide more detail on this project.
Glad you're enjoying the bike. I just purchased a 2016 1200 GSA also in the same colour as yours. Very excited and looking forward to getting on it when the weather here warms up. (Calgary, Alberta Canada.)
I really like the colour. Although I would have liked the triple black as well. Ride safe.
Don’t forget that you can adjust your Windshield. Great Video, I Love the Color of the Bike. Hopefully someday I can upgrade from my 2006 R1200GS, but I’m still very happy with mine. Wonderful Bikes. The People that put down the GS I think, have never Ridden one. Looking forward to the next Video.👍😁
Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate the input. I did make a follow up video. I will make more videos soon.
Great bike GS
Grew bike man. I’m currently hunting for a 2016 R1200GS myself
You won’t regret it. Great bike. Currently on a 3000km round trip. 900km in on the first day and it did not skip a beat
Thoroughly entertaining Mate.You pull up at the traffic light and the guy next to you greets and you say ‘howzit’..brings a tear to my eye.Good to see the old stomping ground.cheers from Canada!
Appriciate the comment, mate.
Cool video man
Everything considered, and this does not include the price, the boxer GS is the ultimate bike. Many people are in denial about this, until they own one.
It is the best all rounder in my opinion. For me using it daily come rain or sunshine, it is. However, I would not mind adding a S1000R to the stable 😉
Everything else is a gateway drug to the GS..
Nice video. Enjoyed your thoughts on the different models. What do I wanna see? I wanna see you at mach snot on a dirt road on the backwheel... (joking kids, DON'T DO THIS!)
Dear Mr Ward Able, First of all, I want to apologise for not commenting on your comment in my last video. Secondly, I want to thank you for your comment on this video Thirdly, I will like to go mach snot on a dirt road and will do so only, when you refit your R1 with some offroad tyres and come join me 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@FPVentures I would take you up on that challenge however, I would like to point out the following: 1) While an R1 with offroad tires sounds appealing, the riding position might make this slightly difficult and therefore an unfair disadvantage. 2) I do belive that I already have a very low clearance and would like to keep my lower fairing pieces attached to my bike rather than left in bits and pieces all along the route of our adventure like some form of chipmunk litter. 3) Should I someday buy another Superbike AND keep the R1, I'll accept your challenge after replacing the tires, suspension and fairing with something more appropriate for the task at hand. Sincerely, Hold my beer en kyk die move
A good perspective of the bike, new sub here.
Thank you @monnerbiker. You have a new sub as well.
Congrats on the new ride.. I'm currently on the hunt for a 2012 GSA myself..
Nice choice of bike dude. I bought my first gs in august got a new gsa rallye te got her early sept miine is one of those built without the fancy adaptive led headlight due to semi conductor shortages. They are going to retrifit it for free around march.
Awesome bike dude. Enjoy the adventure 🤘🏻
They didn’t say which March! Lol
@@ianjames3078 aha ffs. I hope its next march
@@austinmatthews347 fingers crossed. Considering changing my 1200GS (2016) in for a 1250GS…….don’t need the A, had one before.
Suddenly I feel lucky to have a used bike that already have the fancy light. I did not like the old school bulb light on my old F800 and the light was terrible. Have not taken a ride in the dark but, I am sure it is better. @austin, what light did it come with?
I'm considering a 1200GSA as next bike. I'm not sure the difference in performance justifies the cost of the 1250 , even if it's 10% better the 1200 looks like it accelerates just fine. Would you agree?
In my opinion the 1250 has a lot more tech and come more advanced cams so probably a little better performance wise and comfort wise. The 1250 is the replacement for the 1200 from 2018 so if you want a newer bike, the 1250 would be the way to go. I do agree the 1200 has enough power. I have found the electronics work really hard to keep the front wheel down.
I’m debating so so hard to trade my 21 ultra in for a 22-23 bmw 1250gs wife says no way but hey it’s cheaper and seems to be better
Sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission 😉. Have not had the opportunity to give the 1250gs go but, I hear they are really good.
Hi, I Traded a Dyna Wide Glide for mine a long Time back. I’m sooo much more comfortable on the GS. It’s also a Lot more fun. Test Ride one and see how you like it. I think you will Love it as much as I do.👍
@@joeybobbie1 I think so to hit wife rides with me a lot so I don’t think she would like it
Congrats on the upgrade. Hope she serves you well..
Thank you. She already is with my daily commute
Wow you're my man! I'm torn between a 2016 800gs or the 2016 1200gs, I bet you can help me out! Can you please do a comparison vid after riding the new beast for a while? How do they compare weight, balance, torque wise? Would you feel comfortable to take the 1200 on these off roads you were doing on the 800? And how much more do you think the cost of ownership will be? Thanks for keeping the vid music-free so we can listen to the boxer sound! Subscribed! Greeting from Greece🤗
Thank you for the kind words. It is much appreciated and I will make a video based on the above. In short, both bikes are amazing so it will depend on your mission. For me, riding 99% tar, the 1200 makes more sense with the option of going offroad. Thank you for the suggestion. Cheers from South Africa.
The engine in the big boy GS is far better. There is a reason its the most sold bike in the UK by a large margin. My 1250gsa is the best bike I have owned!
Congrats on the new 1200 GS dude. Hope you have many safe and happy miles!
Thanks for this beautiful videos of amazing planes. Cheers from the French alps.
Thank you.

Is the ford tent not there?
Have not seen it yet.
Been there a number of times. Just a awesome place to be.

It is amazing 👍🏻
Great video man I wanna connect with you personally can we connect on any social media platform?
Thank you. You can find me on Instagram.
@@FPVentures can you please tell your username?
@FPVentures5
Very interesting, thanks for uploading.
Hey man! Just checking did you submit your video?
Yes I did submit. You have my permission to use it on your channel 👍🏻
Hello man, may I feature it in my next moto edit? Watermarked and linked to your channel of course.
Go for it. Please link the video here 👌🏻
@@FPVentures Sure thing! Thank you
I know it’s a considerable upgrade compared to a Lycoming ,but the obvious question is how much does it cost and how much does it weigh Way?Thanks for the show brilliant. PS I have an RV 6 I am considering it for.
I wish I could get this engine for my RV-14!
Great teaser guys, looking forward to updates as you finalize the cooling design and get this beauty flying.
Thank you Bill,
