BMW R1200GS Best Accessories - 50K Miles in 2 Years
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- After almost 50,000 miles in 2.5 years, it's time to say goodbye to Helga BMW R1200GS, so I thought I'd run through some of my R1200GS best accessories I've bought for her and how I've got on with them.
BMW R1200GS accessories come in every shape and form, but they all have one thing in common - they're NOT cheap! So are they worth it?

You tease Bruce!!
This is still my favourite colour scheme of any BMW to date!
Thought we'd be waiting till January for this one, but you've just got to love the expensive service card as an excuse for a new bike, certainly one of my favorites. Great vid.
On every bike I've ever owned valve clearances have never needed adjusting. I just service my bikes with fully synthetic oil every 2000 miles and take the risk while putting all saved cash towards the next machine. Never bitten me.
Hi Bruce, really nice bike, you wont believe this but I have just bought your bike today from the dealer, you have done a good job looking after her .
50K in two years is impressive - you are a rider!
Oh no, say it isn't so..............go for the R1250GS, more power and very smooth. I love mine!!
Love my 18 GS Rallye. I have a 19 Super duke R as well. Can't let either of them go.
My dream bike hope to buy one day
Sad to see her go , but you’re going to love the super cub (oh is it a secret ? Sorry ) my bike made 3 appearances now I’m sad 😂 new bikes new adventures mate 👌
My 1995 R1100RS has clicked up 164,000k's (having spent an undisclosed amount) Fraya is running as strong as ever with zero maintenance issues, yes I can't afford to be anything less than sentimental about her. 45 yrs of riding 28 machines of most makes and models, (all Japanese time bombs) I've become brand loyal to bmw. my K100rs 1986 at 50,000ks is strong and reliable machine, some money spent, but, again Freda is a sentimental favorite. If I had the means id own a stable of new bikes, but, im satisfied with what I have ;)
P.s. The gs would be a good buy, Someone will I hope appreciate the extras too! New bike lucky you.
Definitely a new Gs1250 adventure or rallye. Bruce is a Gs fanboy .
50 k miles in 2 years?? That’s a LOT of time in the seat! Respect!!!👍 someone is getting a great bike with Helga!!!😀
THE KTM is high up on my suspicions for the new bike. However, you do love the GS and the 1250 does everything a little better than the 1200. While I would say the 1250, the fact that you say the extra parts won't fit the new bike make me switch to the KTM as your new purchase.
a lot of the 1200 parts don't fit the new 1250s. my bets are on a 1250 HP
just moving too this bike after 2 Tiger 800 hopefully Im making the right des
Subscribed right away.. love the calm explanations and comments
Thanks very much bud, welcome to the channel 👍
Ooooh. Cliffhanger. Just like Saturday morning pictures!
Enjoy the new 1250.
Nothing else would go with the beard and AIM training.
Great to see TeapotOne doing so well.
Happy travels
No matter what... i'll be back to the GS some day...
I'm excited for the next adventure bike. Sinnis Terrain 125. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I sold my 2016 GSA with 52000 km in just less than 2 year in 2018, when i was in for a service with my new bike... i saw here... and crushed my heart (not even my ex did somthing like that!). Plus strange, in italy bmw assist is 5 year (has been for a bit) plus from 2019 4 year warrany (unlimited km!)
And the moral of the story is ! fit it yourself or make SURE you get all the bits that have been removed when you collect your bike ,oh dear oh dear it made me laugh thanks man made my day . : )
Went round the world on a gixxer, so surely s1000rr is a everyday commuter, road trips and track day bike
Really like it ! And by the way, I can so much understand and feel you for leaving all the stuff on the bike. Do't worry, look at it from this angle: You won't undress the girl, she got used to her fiitings ! So you are doing the girl a great favour :)
Ahh sad to see her go, Helga is what brought me to your channel.
When you have things fitted always ask for your stock stuff back after all you paid for it.
most bike owners don’t even ride, I’ll listen to a guy who hammers the miles
A vloga who uses his bike, nice job, top tip for you, when adding accessories keep the package it came in and any bolts replaced put in said packaging and the packaging is always handy when you want re-sell. The GS suited you sir, abit like Honda Bentley would suit Tango'dMissendenFreebie 😜
I kept the packaging mostly, and thought the bolts were in there.... they weren’t?🤦♂️
The bollock tingling will be in the shape of the new 2020 S1000 XR. All the same tech as the GS but some 165 horses coming through the back wheel. Ice Grey is my guess. Thats what Ive gone for anyway.
I'm calling it; Teapotone is getting a Super Duke GT.
Respect for the miles 25k a year. Good luck with the new bike mate, hope she looks after you as well as the BM did. Ride safe.
it was nice to catch a glimpse of the beast...🤜🏾🤛
I must be a cold hearted person , had lots of cars and motorbikes over the yrs , I’m 57 now and I’ve had some above average cars and bikes , to many to remember ,but never been sad or felt a loss when I’ve sold them , just think it’s a piece of metal with rubber tyres , and that’s it , I’m a strange person I guess , cheers shane uk 🇬🇧, ps I do have fond memory’s of some of them mind you cheers shane
Good man Buce! Best of luck with the new bike. Just sold my R1150 Rockster today😔 but because i love them probably buy a bmw boxer again😊
Ooh the suspense....
After 30+ years of nothing but 1000cc sports bikes (including 3 gixers, you’ll be pleased to know) I’m now on my 2nd consecutive GSA. Stop press... I placed the order for my 3rd, yesterday!
I’m looking forward to seeing what you chose. 👍
BTW, the front fender extender is absolutely brilliant. The mudsling might be good for mud but didn’t do what I wanted it to do with water. I sold after my first wet weather trip - it protects the shock but the rider gets drenched legs from spray coming out sideways. I tried the Puig hugger, and it’s superb - I wouldn’t be without it! It now gets transferred from bike to bike - you need to save your bolts, Bruce! 😉👍
Totally with you , about the top box , I keep mine on all the time , plus I had an argument with a bloke about the head lamp protection on my saying it cheaper to buy that than a new headlamp , top channel 👍👍👍 thanks
Copy cat ! Great choice mate, I'm in love with mine, finally getting the first service done on Saturday so can have some fun. Great work on the channel, loving the podcasts.
I’m going to miss the BMW! But can’t wait for new adventures!
I feel something bright orange is coming!!
Super Duke GT... there can be no other. !!!
Hope PCP didn't sting to much on the mileage.
That intro was gold 😂
First time viewing your channel. Really liked the video and look forward to more.
Cheers Dave, welcome to the channel bud 👍
@@teapotone thank you. :)
Look forward to seeing your new steed. I too am getting a new steed tomorrow. The H2 SX SE being swapped for Tuono V4. Regards your comments on Hilltop. I had my GS done by them after seeing your vid and like you it felt different afterwards. I too have had comments about taking my vid down, but until someone can show 100% that Hilltop are con men, I will keep vid up. Glad to hear that full time YouTubing going well for you
Bet your keeping the Sinnis Terrain 125 Teapotone, hahaha :-)
Well done Bruce, living your life. 👍
It’s deffo going to be lexmoto 125 😂🤣😂
The next bike will be a KTM b/c when he asked the question he was riding pass a orange wall/cones lol
"They should be guiding ships in through the fog" hahaha
Sad times. Lots of memories.
Planning a weekend in Austria for a sneak factory preview!!!!!
😲 that's the first time I've seen it clean🤣 can't wait to see your new bike on the next clan ride out 👍
With nothing coming to mind, this is my comment. Thank for a good channel!
It certainly doesnt feel like two years since you got her Bruce , time flies so quickly.I recon your going Orange given how well their new models are looking.
Hi Bruce, Had two GS's Hilltopped and you can feel the difference in grunt from the off. Take care.
Philip Chesters You should feel some difference, because your wallet was a lot lighter when you left.
😂
Sad times Bruce... imagine the video of the GSXR going... but we all know it never will... but I definitely feel a video like the intro for the Suzuki would be awesome
Bike Still looking good
I hope it's the 1250 GS HP, but I have a sneeky suspicion it might be the KTM GT. Don't know if I could trade shaft drive for a chain now :)
Totally agree Martin. Anyone seriously looking to do a lengthy tour must be mad to want a chain drive. I was telling everyone decades ago that the Kawasaki Z1300 with its shaft drive and water cooling was the way forward. I was laughed at.......
50,000 miles, when you listen that guy, it seems that his bike is almost new.......what a deal!
I told you would end up loving that new little Sinnis.......
It’s a brilliant wee thing
Oh you sneaky 'steward!!!🤣🤣🤣......BMW1250GSA is the new bike😱🙈.....hoping it would be a new SDR👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🧡
Everyone is fascinated with the GSA?!?! If I was getting another tractor it’s be the GS and not the GSA 👍
@@teapotone ha gotcha!!! Ktm it is then👍👍🤣🤣🧡
@@mrsuperduke6684 watch the video to the last second - its another BMW with 42 miles on clock
@@TheScottishBiker i did watch it till end but must of missed that!!🙈👍👍.... i'll have a re watch and see if i can see it!!👍👍👍......cheers chap👍
@@TheScottishBiker what a spot sir...didnt take much notice of that👍👍👍....any ideas what model?? Probs gs 1250???🤣🤣🤣🤣
After the last vid of yours I watched I’m guessing it won’t be a triumph tiger 🙃
Nice one Bruce, You get through some miles
I got the power hub 1 fitted then the innovv k2 cameras fitted to my mt09tracer 2015, works great and easy to remove Aswell.
That’s the problem with the dealer fitting it all. You get non of the standard stuff. Which at the time is no issue it’s only when you go to sell. Oh well can’t be helped. Looking forward to seeing the new bike! 👍
Can’t wait to see..... love the vids
You’re a wrong ‘un Bruce, you know many thousands of us are now on the edge of our seats😜🤣🖖
Im sad too see her go but im also very excited for the new bike!
Cant believe you not got all the old bolts. My misses takes the mick out of me . As I put all old stuff in little bags . OCD saves money lol .
Well done lad, another great video.
I'm proud of you Bruce, a GS rider not buying another GS, show them the way mate 👌. Well done, whatever you have bought, well done 👍 I reckon you've stuck to your colours though.
Just traded in my 1000xr for the exact bike.
You're riding in on my old journey to work in Catford!
Really enjoy your videos, like the way you produce them. My question and I sincerely hope you don’t mind!
I have a 1200 GS Rallye 2018. This is my 8th GS! I normally buy them new, keep for two or three years. I bought this 2.5 years ago with 1,500 miles on it. Just love the bike!!!
Sitting with 19,500 miles on the clock, you did 50,000 miles on your Rallye, was it reliable? Did you have any unexpected cost’s.
I’m thinking about keeping this bike.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, much appreciated.
I reckon it’ll be a KTM 1290. Probably a SD GT.
I’m in tears 😢😢
Moral of the story is, fit your own accessories and retain original parts. Good luck on the orange thing Bruce
Call yourself a Scotsman 😂 you are giving away so much 💴 in accessories with that bike. Lol. I’d be amazed if you get anything other than a newer GS tbh. You constantly tell us how much you love that bike. Keen to see what you get next. Stay safe man.
Sad to see her go as well, but Im sure the next bike will be Electrifying ;) Anyway as long as you like what you get next it can be anything, keep up the great work & enjoy your new adventure as a full time Vlogger
just found your page with this headline lol figured i would watch....needless to say i subscribed...righteous beard by the way, mines about the same, color and all lol i was a HD guy and recent bought a leftover 19 1250GS, i have always loved that boxer engine and if i would have went with anything different i would have mad at myself, needless to say the HD gets ridden when it has sat for awhile lol...not saying i would not mind taking the africa twin for a spin though....anyway loved the channel, keep it up and i will be tuning in!
Cheers Ed, welcome to the channel bud 👍
Going by the very very end screen I can see it being the 1250 GS , all the best pal
1250GS....11:53 ;-)
😂🤣😂 I’ve done exactly the same, sold my 1250 hp 🙈 bought a 3.0 superduke now looking for a used adventure bike. Not that bothered about power on that I’ll get my kicks from the sd 👍🏼
Fitting a top box on a s1000rr would just not be cool so I guess another adventure style bike. One of two - 1250gs or KTM SAS. With all the nonsense of cleaning and lubing chains rather than shaft drive ( plus a 3 year warranty ) means the 1250gs it is.
I think it will involve a shift to an orange paint job...haha great vid! Excited to see the new ride!
!!!Waiting!!!
Can’t beat a bit of James Blunt😎
Damn i never saw your videos but as a Honda fan I must say that is a beautiful motorcycle!!! I’m your subscriber!!! BIG LIKE!!!
Doesn't matter what you buy, you'll only have it for two years. Maybe three at the most with the mileage you do, my guess would be a Tiger 1200. :)
I know what you mean mate, I have a Super Tenere 1200 with everything on it. But I needed to scratch the speed itch. Just bought an MT10 for the dry days !
Cliffhanger....I think you're going black and orange. Probably Super Adventure S....You loved the SDR but doesn't have the storage or wind protection you're use to ..so either SAS or SDGT
God you haven’t been converted into that 1290 super duke R 😉🤣 I did notice you loved it a lot 😁 on a serious note Helga was a beast and look forward to seeing your next bike mate 👍🏻
2021 1290S probably breaking cover next few months, I'd be holding station....... 🍊🏴
You could give 2-300 quid to a BMW shop (ideally the same that you purchased it from) and they'd take all the extras of for you and replace the original bolts...
If you don't want to spend "any" money look at the schematic and get the bolts for all the accessories .
Also, have you not considered selling privately? With all the fans you have surely someone would love to get your specced up for adventure and super well cared for bike, and be happy to pay to dollar for the privilege:-)
Exciting and sad times changing bikes, another great video and look forward to what you get next.
2020 1250GS Adventure!
Recent podcast discussions would suggest the R1250GS as the next Helga but saying some of the extras didn't fit the next bike threw me a bit as indeed there is a difference in some specs between the models. Taking the Hex would suggest the BMW as I think it covers both so my dart is thrown at the 1250.....surprise me....(not the Harley!)😜.
Damn you you little tease. The future is bright, the future is orange!
.....clearly GS1250, is your only option...best road bike ever!🥳
I’d go for the Yamaha Super Tenere 1200.👍
Helga served you well, Bruce👍🏻 But I can’t wait to see what’s next! Give us a hint. 🙏🏻? That KTM? A Ducati? A new GS?
