- Can you take a BMW F800GS off road on a single track trail???
In this video I try to answer that question by taking my f800gs around the hills near by my house, following a trail untill it narrows down to single track.
The F800GS is a very versatile bike, it can accomplish many tasks, so if you are an average rider like me, check out what the bike can do with one of us riding it.
I hope you guys enjoy and thanks for watching.
Subscribe for more BMW F800GS, I will try to upload a new video every week. (most likely Friday)
If you live in Socal have an ADV/DualSport bike join my FB group and let's go ride together.

That exhaust sounds so good! Nice video
Nice when its moist on the ground.....looks like a fun after work trail. Thanks for your video
That is exactly what it is, the trail entrance is less than 1/2 mile from my house and it's just a few miles long, I can round trip it in 1h door to door, perfect to get my dirt on real quick. :)
One of the better off-road and single track videos I've seen. Good job. Love the GS! I'm a mountain biker looking to get into adventure riding and this looked like it was right up my alley. Just have to get used to 20 lb mtn bike vs. 500 lb motorcycle 😆
Lol, thank you, adventure riding is a lot of fun 😀👍
Great job on all that off camber stuff....so far my biggest problem is soft sand....seems like these big bikes just want the front end to auger in....
Thanks once again for an enjoyable video!
+Titantramp4u yes they do, speed is the key and a steering damper helps to keep the front tire straight.
excellent video, great camera work man. I wanna move to CAL there is 4 feet of snow here now.
Mark Verge thanks, it takes a lot of U turns, haha. The weather is definitely one of the reasons why I moved to California.
I ride a f800 for only offroad use. I couldnt be happier. I love it. It makes KTM's look silly.
Okay…. I have both the 800gs and the Ktm 690. 690 absolutely spanks the 800 off road. It’s 150 lbs lighter with the same HP.
Awesome!!! Yeah for sure, plenty of trails out here in Texas! Great video!
Where can I go that isn’t like private land thanks!
@@andrescardona9226 yes and no, national forest etc
@@JonnyRides thanks! When I get mines I’ll go around those then
Nice video. Stuck deciding between buying dual sport or ADV. The riding you did is about as technical as I would like to do and the GS looks very capable.
If that's the extent of your riding a light adventure will do just fine, by light adventure i mean all the way up to an Africa Twin base, or tiger 900
Very nice video...thanks..
Nice film, cool bike !
Wayne Mitchelson , thanks
Great video chum
nice one,it takes balls to decide to go for it like that on the big bike!
Big balls or small brain....😁👍
Nice Video. Very good training area. To have a better riding position, you could put your hips further back, so the weight will be more central/back. Thats a common mistake. People stand up and put to much weight over front wheel = less controlled.
Torsten Heimbroc, the real problem is that I need bar risers, I usually bend forward to reach the handlebars and keep my knees slightly bent as well, but after a while, when I get tired, I tend to straighten up and lean forward instead. It does make it easier to powerslide though, haha. Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind.
Muito top mano abraço
Hey Albe, are the f800gs’ wheels tubed or tubeless from factory? I cant find that information anywhere. Love the channel man!
Hi, I had 2 sets, the off-road set was tubed, the street set I made tubeless using an OutEx tubeless kit 👍
@@AlbesADV ahhh ok that makes sense 100%. Thanks again!
é verdade que a balança tende a quebrar GS 800 F ?
What tyres would have gone for on the rear? I’ve a git a GS 800 and these are exactly the sorts of routes I’d be looking at doing as I’m beginning my new riding journey have ridden in roads for 35 years…..
Hi, i used the Heidenau k60 scout on the rear for a while, good on the street but a little slippery in the dirt, then I switched to the continental TKC80, front and back and they have a lot of grip but dont last long, now I'm using the Shinko 804/805 on my Africa twin and so far so good and way cheaper than the TKC80
Are you lucky enough to have a quick and easy trail right in your back yard? Let us know?
By the way I'm getting a camera with image stabilization to reduce all that helmet shaking.
I have endless trails in my back yard (Wyoming) and love my F800GS. Still going strong after 10 years. Good video Albe.
Thanks man 😀👍
With proper tires, better suspension, better brakes, increase gearing and maybe hydraulic clutch f800gs can do single track all day.
Those are a lot of mods
@@AlbesADV Well, tires are self explanatory, stock suspension definitely underperforms, stock brakes fade very quickly in some off-road situations and first and second gear is too high. Hydraulic clutch isn't a must but many people like it for technical stuff.
I agree with you, I actually did some of those mods to my f800 myself, tires, brakes and front sprocket, the stock suspensions bottom out constantly but the forks and shock I want are quite expensive so I’ll wait a little longer, I’m just saying that in a pinch you can do with a good set of tires and some stubbornness. Lol
@@AlbesADV what suspension if you don't mind me asking? I was considering upgrading to some decent cartridges and a new shock myself but with some of the prices out there I could just as well upgrade to a new bike!
I would love the ohlins cartridges, but between front and rear it’s about 3000 dollars, so I might have to “settle” for andreani cartridges up front and Wilber’s with esa conversion in the rear. If you have any other idea please let me know I’m all ears.
What do you think of knobby tires rear and road/superbike tires in front? -------For dirt and road.
+Adrian Rubi the street tire up front will not have any grip off road, you are probably better off doing the opposite if you must, but the bike will handle terrible on both situations. I really don't recommend doing that.
Che strana pronuncia inglese....l'accento è un po' "maccheronico"...per caso sei italiano?
Si, che si sente? 🤣🤣🤣
@@AlbesADV a ecco, beccato 👋🏼😄
Music and intro were painful
The good early days 😆 I agree with you most of my early videos and some recent I had no idea what I was doing 😀👍
