2019 BMW R1250R REVIEW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- After a few weeks on the bike, here's my final verdict for the 2019 BMW R1250R Review. I took it up to Wales and met up with some of you along the way at the Super Sausage Cafe and then on to the Ponderosa Cafe up at the Horshoe Pass.
The following day I rode down the West of Wales along a variety of stunning roads, even managing to try out the fantastic new Insta360 One X camera for some on-bike shots.
The bike is incredible, the power is stunning, the handling razor sharp, and the looks - in my opinion anyway, are spot on (although a lot of you don't agree here!)
Check out the vid for my full review of the 2019 BMW R1250R Sport motorbike.

====================
You had the best 1250 BMW videos..PERIOD .. serious as a heart attack. That selfie stick is serious bit of kit.. the technology boogles minds.!!
The Relive portion was cool showing where you've been.
Thanks bud 👍
Another great video Bruce,with the 360 it looked like you were riding a Grom.Fantastic roads and pics on your review of the BMW.Top man.
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it bud 👍
Just bought one here in Belgium. Wanted something that's more easy to ride, has more power but more importantly offers great comfort for my bad 47 yr old back. This should fit, made the decision thx to great reviewers like yourself, missendenflyer and others. Keep up the good work. Hope I'll enjoy the bike as much as you did as I'm only 173cm tall and weigh 71kg so size shouldn't be an issue :)
Thank you for this video. Returned to biking after 31 years (I am a pensioner and made the 'unfortunate choice to get married). Spent months deciding what to bike to buy. Bought one of these. Conclusion:
No regrets. Superb bike to ride, manoeuvres easy at low speed (very important), and superb torque from low revs. Two problems. 1.Overtake a truck, one is doing 85 mph (oooops). 2. Only insured for 5000 miles. Done over 3000 already in 4 months. Can't keep off the thing.
Ha Ha I’m glad you’re happy with your bike Malcolm, it’s a fantastic machine isn it.
Re your insurance, drop Bemoto a line and mention TeapotOne - they’ve promised to sort any one out who follows the channel 👍
Awesome video as always Bruce. Love the 360° video footage and really look forward to the results once the camera is mounted and resolution bumped up!
Thanks Reece 👍
It is indeed a head turning AWESOME bike Bruce.
Great vid as always mate although the bit riding one handed with a selfie stick did get the ex Rat in me twitching a little 😂
Ha Ha, I think the selfie stick is the least of my worries then!!! 🤣👍
What a gorgeous bike, and beautiful roads to boot. Thanks as always for sharing, Bruce. I love the 360 view camera too, can't wait to see how that gets mounted on Helga.
Cheers Meat, I’m looking forward to experimenting with the insta360 and seeing what can be done 👍
Just rode one these today in Oz and this will be my next bike, I just loved everything about it. Responsive, comfortable, I could sit on it for days, the bike I rode had the high seat option which suited me perfectly.
Great review and loved the 360 camera..👍🏍
Cheers Spad, glad you enjoyed the vid and also your own ride of the bike. I’ve been told by a few people that the high seat changed the bike for them for the better, I’d love to give one a go too.
Stay safe and enjoy bud 👍
That is a brilliant bit of kit. It's a game changer.
Just bought one of these, get it later this week, so looking forward to it
I ordered a 2023 r1250r triple black and should receive it in a few weeks time. Very excited. Thanks for your video.
As a “Yank” I can’t get over you blokes driving on the rrrrong side of the rrrroad. I enjoy your passion for the sport of motorcycle riding. Playing with the 360 look a bit dicey but figure you’re an expert. Love BMW bikes just can’t seem to afford them. Oh, and your roads seem so narrow to us. Scares me to deathh😉😀
Great video Brucey, been looking at the insta360 but heard the editing is a big pain.. footage is incredible mind!
Cheers Chops, yeah the editing takes a bit of time but the possibilities are amazing 👍
Excellent, always great seeing your reviews. Loving the new camera 👍
Thanks very much 👍
The R-18 will fit you very well by the end of the year, your wish will come a reality soon. Love your videos!
Thanks Miki 👍
Cracking video and a great looking bike! I'm off to Wales for a few days next week on the bike, fingers crossed the weather is as kind to us!
Have a great time Pete 👍
Thanks Bruce for the mention of riding in Ireland...Both South and Wee North,I would encourage folks to check out 'The Wild Atlantic Way'...2500kms of fantastic roads, accommodation...and not bad for the pints either... if you decide to travel across the pond,give me a shout.🏍🇮🇪
Cheers David, will do bud 👍
Thanks Bruce, a mate suggested looking in to buying a bike in the UK and selling it on my return so ill definitely look further into all my options, thank you for giving me the heads up mate, cheers
No worries Kahi 👍
New camera is amazing and how it makes the pole disappear is witchcraft! You rode some of my favourite roads, that spot near Capel Curig (where you got the new camera out) is just beautiful. I think the way things are going the naked bikes are coming into their own, cameras everywhere now, naked bikes give you just as much fun at lower speeds.
Absolutely true 👍
Great review brother, I am a normal sized bloke and I truly do love this bike. Here's to hoping BMW listened to you and are working on a larger sized one for larger blokes like yourself. But great review
Anyhow👍
Cheers Daniel 👍
Bruce, I loved that camera footage on the stick!! Looks wicked looking at the bike round those roads!
Thanks bud, aye it really opens up lots of avenues for angles and shots 👍
Thank you for posting. Great technology on the camera. Now they have to figure out a camera which will replace my face with a more appealing view. :)
Ha Ha yeah mine too! 🤣👍
You know when you made that crack about sounding Pakistani when doing a Welsh accent had me blowing my morning cuppa down my nose! loll I was born and bred in Dundee and left home at 21 and yet despite having spent 30 years in Canada I still sound like Apu whenever I try a Welsh accent! Excellent review. Love the new toy, incredible shots. All the best and keep up the good work!
Ha Ha that’s a brilliant description!!
Glad you enjoyed it bud 👍
Awesome video Bruce 👍🏻.
Love the 360 cam, a worthwhile addition to your kit as it ads a nice extra dimension that I haven’t seen before!
Keep up the good work, and if you are up for hitting Ireland and want some company give us a shout. It would be EPIC 😎😎
Cheers Craig 👍
great gadget, extremely stable. Regards to your hero on an R1, I am a massive Yamaha fan boy, had a Thunderace for 6 years from new coz everybody was riding Fireblades. Then I owned an R1 for 6 years
What a bike 360 camera is fantastic look forward to your next vlogs with it adds a hole new depth to your vlogs
Cheers Kris 👍
I think that 360 camera is amazing and the invisible selfy
stick magic.
Nuts isn’t it! 🤷♂️👍
Love the channel great video and got the test ride booked for sat 😎👍👍👍
Awesome, enjoy it 👍
Well after the test ride I bought the R1250R and it’s 2 months in and I can 100% agree on everything you said about this bike,I absolutely love this bike and once again big thanks for the review keep up the good work 👍
Nice vid as ever Brucey - and great bike that isn't it - I was lucky enough to ride one recently, very impressed with it. Love that new camera you've got - 2 questions, how much was it and is it a ball ache to edit the footage??
Cheers bud, the insta360 one X is about £360 and yes, the editing workflow is pretty laborious at the moment I must admit.
teapotone Prolly shouldn’t say it, but TobyDeals has it at around the 260 quid mark (got mine from there). Using FCPX, I’m bringing in the stitched 360 from the desktop app, and letting FCPX make the proxies while I sleep overnight. Makes the actual edit a shedload faster, even if the prep is slower than normal. @TheMissendenFlyer
Yep that’s how I did it too, proxies make it all so much easier 👍
@@teapotone indeed so... without proxy, I very nearly threw the laptop out the window!
Great video Mr.Teapot! My home roads. I’m sure you’ve done them, but A478 Cardigan to Narberth and then onto the A4075 Canaston Bridge to Carew are some of my favourite biking roads around. Just shout if you need anymore recommendations for twisties in Pembrokeshire 😉
Top man, thanks very much 👍
I've had a ride on a base model R1250R with a lot of toys but no sport dash and I just loved it, same torque as my SuperDuke GT but at lower revs made it feel faster, it feels better put together than the KTM too... Much thinking to do as they talked me in to testing the S1000R next week, they have some offers on that at the moment.
Love the video and scenery, makes me want to go on a solo tour of Wales.
Cheers Stonesie, yeah I really enjoyed that bike too, feels quality doesn’t it 👍
Hi Bruce just discovered your channel, loving all of the honest content & your tour of Britain (really helped as I’m planning trip away soon) I also recently test rode the 1250r & loved it, but settled on buying 2019 Speed Triple S. That too is a fantastic bike - hope you get to test ride one as mentioned in vid. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Hi Simon, welcome to the channel bud, great to hear you’re enjoying the vids and thanks for dropping me a line.
Yeah I’d love to give the Speedy a go one day, beautiful looking machine 👍
Great video Bruce. Loving your work. You’re not fat you’re just easy to see.
Ha Ha I’m loving that 🤣👏👍
Bruce that 360 camera is like Black Magic - spot on pal !
Thanks Drew 👍
You're spot on re Northern Ireland.. Absolute gem
Superb cover of the country side and the bike! Trying to get a used 2015 model. Your input is very useful. Thanks
No worries Munawir, glad you’ve found the video helpful 👍
@@teapotone Something no one has mentioned in the reviews is the power socket. I am a dinosaur when it comes to electrical things on such bikes. But it is useful for the necessary devices when on tour. Do you know where exactly it is located? Grateful thanks.
No mate sorry, I rode this bike back in 2019 and can’t remember 😬
@@teapotone noted thanks again.
That 360 camera is the work of beelzebub!!!
Ha Ha, it’s freaky eh 😉
The 360 is a keeper 👍.
Yet another great vid.Haven't seen one yet that I don't like ! It's seem everyone loves the 1250 motor makes me wonder what your mates at Hilltop motorcycles could do with one or maybe it's just to good already.
Great video Bruce, I like very much your “english” accent, Wales landscape is just beautiful.
Ha Ha thanks Miki, glad you’re enjoying it bud 👍🙏
Yet another brilliant vid, love the way you give the road numbers ! I'm off to Wales middle of June for a week's riding those very same roads, so thank you for the heads up. Oh by the way those planes were flying what's called "The Mach Loop" which is in that very area you were in. Air force's from all over the world come to practice low level flying can be awesome when it's euro fighters or F16 . Just to add you have now made me think of going back to a GS1200 unfortunately I can't afford the 1250 😟😖
Cheers Wobbly,
Ah yes I’ve heard of that, is that the same flight pattern where the jets fly by up in the north west of Wales and are actually lower than the top of the mountains, so people can look down on them as they fly by?
with the invisible selfie stick it looks like a high speed drone following you
Another good video bruce! Love the new camera, that lay-by you were in had a speed van in it when i went past and i was overtaking about 8 cars at the time, fortunately it was facing me so never heard anything, LOL! You must do Ireland's Atlantic highway but it is bumpy over there, some of the roads are like waves on the ocean.
Ha Ha, lucky escape there bud 😅
Aye the Atlantic Highway is up there on my list 👍
Excellent vid mate. That 360 camera is magic!
Thanks bud, can’t wait to use it on our trip next month 😉
@@teapotone you won't miss a thing 🤣
22:14 Harlech Castle where the good Men Of Harlech hailed from, made famous in the Zulu film.
Another sensational video mate - you're editing is spot on! 360 camera is cool too!
I have a 2016 Speed Triple R which I would happily throw you the keys to. I am in Australia, but that's a genuine offer!
Thanks man, I didn’t know that about the Men of Harlech actually 👍
Well if I ever manage to get over to Oz again, I’ll take you up on your kind offer bud 🙏👍
@@teapotone ua-cam.com/video/XSEU5zHgcTc/v-deo.html
Hello, just subscribed to your channel! I have been looking at this particular bike a lot. Haven’t yet ridden one. I am 5’ 11” and around 210 pounds. I’m just curious what is your height when you say you’re too big for the bike? Thank you fir such a great video!!
Hi Ethan,
I’m 6’3” and 20 stone 6lbs.
I felt too big but didn’t actually look too bad tbh 👍
First time here mate. Loving the Beemer big time and wonderful camera footage. That stick is some serious wizardry. It's great to see my homeland. Cheers from a Welshman living in Melbourne.
+Craig Mason hi Craig, thanks for stopping by the channel bud and cheers for your kind words, glad you’re enjoying the vids 👍
Great video! I’m 6ft, 200 lbs. Considering one. How tall are you? You said felt a bit small?
Hi Angus, I’m 6’3” bud. I felt like I was big on the bike, but other people told me I looked fine on it 🤷♂️
It’s a fantastic machine though 👍
@@teapotone good to know. I made the mistake of buying a speed twin as my daily ride. Beautiful looking bike, but i've found it to be too small as i broke it in. So going to trade it in on R1250R!
Can’t believe you’ve not done Ireland yet bud, get over there and have a blast, great ride
Aye I know Peter, I really need to sort that 👍
That camera looks good mate, looking forward to the footage you get on Helga, the end is in sight we’ve got two gigs in Russia the n it’s home! Yee’bloody’haa!! It’s only been ten months!
Blimey Dave, that’s one heck of a shift you put in! 👏👍
The accent was quite good Teapot, better than my Scottish one
I have been tossing up between the R Nine T and the R1250R... and i think this video just made my mind up. Great review mate... informative and entertaining. I am only 5ft10... so wont feel like godzilla sitting on a toaster - therefore, your only negative on the bike doesnt apply :) Keep up the great work mate.
Very much appreciated this video, a fantastic route and very useful review, thanks for putting it together. Currently on an 850GS Sport which has been my first bike, I've owned for 18 months and loved it. Took out the R1250R for a test ride this morning - wanted a 'sensible' first bike and now feel more confident to upgrade power. Fully agree that GS soaks everything up by comparison and the R1250R is more engaging, I loved the ride and really noticed the difference in the grunt. Did you ever ride the Triumph Speed Triple for comparison?
Yep there’s a vid fairly recently on the channel, I took out the RS
@@teapotone thanks, should have checked first, I just watched it. Sounds like you enjoyed both bikes - any tips for choosing between the two? I will of course take a Triumph for a spin, just wondered if you had a preference?
Think I preferred the RS tbh, has a lot of character 👍
I’m 6’2” and 280 pounds so I know what you mean about being too big for a bike but you didn’t look too bad on that one. May have been the video angle. Lol. Keep up the great work on the videos. I live in Charlotte,NC so I live vicariously through you riding the British and European roads.
Cheers Lance 👍
There is witch craft involved with that stick! It's like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.
Another great vid Bruce, love the new toy. I did wonder what you was going to pull out. So what's happen to the GS .... update on what BMW found pr was it just a major service needed?
Helga is still going strong bud, I use her everyday - there’s just an issue when I first start her up after she’s cold. Still not found out why as yet?
Morning. Yr pole footage looks great. Even in low resolution. Keep up the good work Donkey Kond!
Thanks Murt 👍
First time here and I like your videos 😊. How tall you are? I'm planning next year to make a trip to Scotland, the country looks amazing! All the best from Belgium
Hi Gabriel,
Glad you’re enjoying the channel bud, I’m 6’3”
What pole was the 360 attached to please? Very good shots a lot different to other bloggers I'm following, great vid as usual😃
It’s the invisible selfie stick made by insta360 themselves
Really helpful review, booked a test ride now as looking for my next bike. Did you ever get round to doing your review of the Icon jacket?
I’ve not done a specific vid for it, but I did give my opinion in this vid - from 3:45
Picos De Europa - Motorcycle Trip July 2018 Ep3 ua-cam.com/video/QL02egKLdWQ/v-deo.html
The size looks okay for you. It's not Tuono or RSV4 small. The good thing about having a larger body frame with the 1250b l is that it won't tire you out when you have to whip it around the curves. I like the look of the bike but it's priced out of my range.
Aha!! The Insta360 One X makes its debut. I’ve been loving mine - makes missing things a thing of the past. From experience, don’t use the HDR mode in video on a moving bike. It’s great when the One X is static, or nearly so, but it makes a right hash of it when there’s linear movement of the camera at anything above walking speed (and I mean old man fat lad walking speed). 5.7K brought into a 1080p timeline and using the FOV angle with keyframes makes for lovely stuff. Looking forward to seeing how it fits in with your stuff, Bruce - it’s now a go-to camera for my channel and videos...
Thanks for the info bud, will check out your channel too 👍
@@teapotone Mine's not a patch on your stuff, but I'll definitely rival James May for the Captain Slow title!
Lovely Vid and Review. When you first started talking about the 360 degree camera I was thinking like ‘yeah yeah bla bla’. But as soon as i saw the footage I was like ‘I want one’. Great footage.
Btw where did you get that mirror mount from ?
Thanks Jamie, I have two - morning me from GoPro and the other from Ultimate AddOns - both are almost identical and really handy.
Great vid Bruce. You know how it is to have to base an expensive purchase on just an hour or two's test ride, right? So I am very relieved to hear your positive comments on the bike, cos I pulled the trigger on one a couple of weeks ago and am now awaiting delivery. Please don't encourage BMW to make yet more bikes for teutonic giants though; we short arses want to play too, you know.
Great job. You have another subbie.
Thanks very much for subscribing bud and am glad you’ve enjoyed the vid.
I’m just a tiny bit jealous that you’ve bought an R1250R, it really is a great bike, enjoy it 👍
Hi there, TeapotOne - I came across your vids right after I got me one of them BMW 1250 R babes late last year; due to bad weather conditions I haven't ridden it by now other than online "with you"... I'm really looking forward to my first ride! Thanks for showing the amazingly beautiful Welsh landscape & how much fun this beamer is - both really comes across via your vlog - and please keep commenting like at 13:59 - what good is life without a swell nasty sense of humour... ? Take good care of your formidable beard & keep riding safely, bro!
Loving the new camera angles, looking forward to seeing more, and also the graph was a good idea to.
I was looking at doing a tour of the UK and Ireland in the next two years and ive been looking around at some motorcycle rental places and while i like the packages i have seen, i think they are a little on the pricey side, i was thinking of doing 3 to 4 weeks in the UK and then a further 4 weeks in Europe. do you think it would be worth shipping my bike over from Western Australia for a couple or 3 months instead of renting ?
Hi Kahi,
It may well work out about the same, or possibly cheaper?
Try www.shippio.com and ask for a chap called David WYBORN. He sorted out all my shipping for my RTW trip and knows just about everything there is to know about the subject.
I think his email is simply david@shippio.com
Hi Bruce. Great video !! Just got back from North Wales. Unfortunately, I was in the car, but planning on going back for a few days, next month, on the bike. Did a lot of the roads you did, so looking forward to doing them on the bike. How long did it take you to get from Betws y Coed to St Davids? I was thinking of staying in, or around, Betws y Coed ( nice place ) and riding to St Davids with a few stops on the way and booking my next night's stay in or around St Davids. Also, any suggestions for biker friendly hotels? ( maybe with secure parking )
Sorry, forgot to ask. Do you wear a Knox Urban Pro shirt under your jacket, and , if so, what you thought of it? I was looking at one of those and noticed you had the same thumb loops, so wodered if you had one.
Hi Geoff, sorry bud I don’t know any accommodation near St David’s as we always stay with friends!
But there are loads and loads of hotels and B&B’s around there and most places are biker friendly.
No I don’t wear any particular top under my jacket, normally I just wear a t-shirt these days. The loops are from the Icon Raiden Jacket I wear 👍
@@teapotone Thanks, Bruce.
That bmw seems very stable round bends , I like it very much
My favourite of your review video's I think Bruce! When you didn't make the right turn on to the Llanberis Pass I thought 'That's a mistake Bruce' I may have to rethink that...., what an awesome road! I commented on Hippo Drones video the other day 'I'm not sure about the 360' camera for motovlogs' I thought it looked rather 'video gamey' using the backpack you mentioned. I may have to rethink that.... not long now Bruce to the first of your Pico's trip.... I'll be there the end of June. Wonder if they do a 'proper' screen for that R1250R ...I'm a shortie! RSM8
Love the added 360 views, but you really don’t like Donkey Kong on the bike... you are just more used to Helga. I am 6’3” tall and 227 lbs and I have a Street Triple and feel a bit big for the bike, but it is a fun ride. On my GS I feel perfectly sized. LOL enjoyed the vid nice relive app. (Too Funny how you speak about the Police 🚔 knowing that you are an officer of the Law.)
Forgot to say the new toy is a defo keeper footage even in the lower Rez was great
Hmmmm interesting and a good review as always Bruce 👍top notch .
Thanks bud
Thanks for this video Bruce, really enjoyed it. I rode the R1200R when my own was in for servicing last year and enjoyed it, so the 1250 can only be better. I know what you mean about the size of bikes though; I’m 6’2” and fine with my GSA, but feel I’m too big when I ride my Bonneville to work! I thought the video from your new toy was fine; a bit strange just seeing your hand held out to the side though😂😂 Cheers, Andy.
Aye it’ll take me a while to figure out the best ways to get shots with it but I reckon it has huge potential 👍
Thinking of getting this bike-first time viewer-very impressed with the standard of review (and the scenery!) I have smashed that sub button-cheers from oz...invisible selfie sticks!?! witchcraft-probably..
Cheers Tippy!
Thanks very much for subscribing bud, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the vid and welcome to the channel 👍
The 360° camera is great!
That selfi stick is on the Xmas list!!
Another great review Bruce keep up the good work.
Thanks Kenneth 👍
Footage from the new toy looks amazing, even at the lower res. The R1250R didn't appear ridiculously undersized for you though. Certainly seems you've got a nice area for riding there, the scenery is a remarkable contrast to my local environment here in South Oz (what's all that green stuff, and what's wrong with the Sun?).
🤣👍
Just found this video
Fantastic roads Bruce
That was MACH LOOP where you saw the aircraft overhead
👍
Cheers Keith, aye it’s a beautiful part of the world isn’t it, especially for riding bikes around 👍
@@teapotone we did it for my Birthday last year
Through to llandirod wells and via Elan valley dams to devils bridge out to machinlth ( spelling 🙁)
Unfortunately it was in a car but next time it will be by bike ..
Love to do it with you guys on ride out one day
👍
Take care
But one day
New kit is great. The stick disappearing is a great touch.
good vid, loved the new stick footage. Despite my reservations about the R I will buy one next year when they appear as used. As a welsh resident your comments on the police presence does come across as though its everywhere rather than the honey pot of Snowdonia. Bikers in the know come to mid wales as its quieter, better roads and pretty much zero police presence.
Aye sorry David, I should have qualified that yes 👍
Hi Bruce.. great vlog as always and that insta 360 is a stonking bit of kit. Do you have the link for your relive ride to share?
Sorry T, it’s www.relive.cc/view/rt10005061161
Another brilliant vid. Bruce loved the 360 footage will be up round north Wales at the beginning of June for a long weekend Camping with some mates .
Great video as always Bruce. I would also look like a 'gorilla on a moped' on that bike. I'm planning a trip to Snowdonia in June, where would you recommend to stay hopefully with secure parking? Cheers
For Snowdonia I’ll always stay up in Betwy-s-Coed, there’s a place called the Royal Oak Hotel which is bang in the centre and good value too 👍
I've got a sail video system rig in the garage had it years! Just need the camera now!
All these new cameras are doing my head in. The new Osmo Action looks brilliant and now you're the third or fourth geezer using the Insta 360 and I want one... Also, want a new bike and a new body. Arrrrghh!
Ha Ha, so many toys to drain the bank balance! 😢💰👍
Great video! I’ll be off to Wales post-lockdown and hope for your luck with the weather.
Have you had a go on an RS? Am wondering whether it’s a perfect compromise between all the boxer-engined bikes.
Cheers
Thanks Clive,
No mate I’ve not tried an Rs but would love a go of one. I’m inclined to think the same as you bud 👍
That tft display is great 🤘
Aye it’s lovely eh 👍
1/2 way thu vid, had to make a comment. Love your new toy. Saw it 1st on a Trent Palmer Flying Cowboys Blog. I want one ! So jealous of the fact that you can go to epic vistas and roads. The prairies are strait and boring here. Great editing . Keep up the good work !
Thanks Mark, I’ll check out his vids too.
Yes I’m very fortunate that I can get to these amazing places and ride, I’ll never take that for granted 👍
@@teapotone looking foward to coming home and riding a rented bike again. Rode Surrey/Sussex/kent last time on a Brandit
like Harry Potter with an invisible wand!...great piece of kit!
Cracking vid again....better now without the loud music so we can hear your words of wisdom!
That bike and those roads look great
Camera thingy works a treat, I dont think you look daft on the bike at all, I'm 6 foot 5 and twenty stone and I rode one today and loved it!
Cheers Mark, I’ve since been told you can get a higher seat option which can make a big improvement for the taller
Rider 👍
@@teapotone thanks for the reply, I've got a 2019 S100R at the moment and after riding the boxer for the first time I just thought the power was so usable and the bike was very comfortable too, need to be next year but its a defenite candidate.
How's this possible? lol the stick is invisible! Cool! What a beautiful bike.
I have one ---only problem you can't keep the belly Pan if you have crash bars.
Come over to me Bruce in Dublin, been here 20 plus years and only getting to do the wild Atlantic way this June......go figure. The rides and scenery over here is stunning 😁
Cheers Richard
My neck of the woods, regular weekly roads for me, it's a buzz on the mach loop when your givin'er and a jet fighter Buzz's you at 100ft , there a road that goes up the mountain and you can watch the planes fly under you through the valley , some great vids on here search "best of the mach loop"
Cheers bud, will do 👍
360 camera is awesome...
That camera stick works great. If you can mount it on the front of a bike, it would be perfect.
