I'm after doing that twice. In 2005 bought a 2001 first $1000, bought parts first $2500, road the bike until 2014 with 100000kms on it. In 2014 bought a damaged 2014 R1200GS for $4000, put $2500 into it, just sold it for $12000 after putting 90000kms on it. Decided on a brand new 2022 GSA.... Nice work on the bike
Thanks for the video, you’ve done an amazing job repairing this bike. I was surprised that the BMW engine protection bars (as big and complex a shape as they are) did not protect the rocker cover and internal parts of the cylinder head better. I perhaps would have looked at fitting top quality after market protection bars to prevent similar damage in the future. Great job though, greetings from Australia 😊👍
Da biemvuista che in tanti anni sono stato ti faccio i complimenti per la cura che hai avuto per sistemare al meglio tutti i piccoli danni che ha subito la moto, in realtà le vecchie BMV non avevano tutti questi pezzi. Se fosse stata mia questa moto avrei trovato qualche soluzione per non vedere il tubo appiattito del paracilindro sinistro, ho quasi 80 anni e ho nella mia vita posseduto e restaurato circa 43 moto. Un saluto da Roma👍👋
I bought a BMW R 1150RT years ago from Copart. 300 pound uk to fix. Basically bike for half retail price. It was flood damaged. Stopped and tipped over into a big puddle. Insurance wrote it off. Hardly a scratch on it. what a bargain. Ran it for 10 years.
Very nice job done! Especially cause you reused the old repaired parts without just buy every stuff new.. I wish you always a enjoyable ride. Greetings from Germany ✌🏻
Wow you made what looked like a goner parts bike, shine again. increased the value by $10,000 or so. Can't believe you were able to save the crash bars, great job.
@@danemiljus5485 If you think this bike, that started the adventure bike class and is still the benchmark, is garbage, I would like to know what bike you think is not garbage. I know it’s not for everyone but it’s been a iconic motorcycle for over 40 years.
@@danemiljus5485tell me you don’t ride without telling me you don’t ride. I rode one of these for 7 years, beautiful engine. Go back to reading Boys own Adventure
Saludos de Venezuela Edo Trujillo bendiciones 🙏🇻🇪 exitos cada día más hermano excelente trabajo de recuperación quedó como nueva esa tremenda moto dios te bendiga y que cada día te valla de lo mejor hablasos de 🇻🇪🦾💪👏
Despues de tanto trabajo y de tantos recambios originales comprados, no se si te ha salido a cuenta restaurar esta genial 1200 GS o comprarte una nueva. De todas formas, Gran trabajo!!!
Great job. I love the additional fabric side pockets and the tool box. Are the crash bars going to be strong now they have been bent? I think BMW panniers would be nicer.
Loved the video, thanks. I'm not entirely sure I would want to ride the bike at highway speeds knowing both the stress points that mount the windshield had been superglued back together! also, was the bike crashed by the first owner on the first ride? It looks incredibly clean in all the nooks and crannies and the engine looked like it had run for an hour before the owner slid
Hi, I would like to know if the dashboard you installed is new or used. If it’s used, how did you pair it with the vehicle? Don’t you need to change the VIN and the odometer on the dashboard to match with the info in the ECU?
You Sir have SKILLS .....Great video I applaud the repair before replace if possible and a fantastic end result. I hope never to crash my 1250 because I don't have anything like your skill set or tool set.
Good video, nicely done, but this made me sure to never ever get a bmw, cool looking bikes but never was a big fan and now seeing how hard are they to work on made me sure not to get one, would like to try it out how it feels.
Still a good amount. Auction, so it depends. I would guess around 6k usd winning bid. Then add fees and taxes. copart has fees for days. Under 10k when all is fixed. My guess.
Super job! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you skilfully bring back to life a goner bike. If it's not being too cheeky...how much did you spend overall, roughly, on the repair parts and equipment?
Excelente trabajo!! Por el valor de la moto yo le hubiese puesto nuevo la defensa de motor del lado izquierdo y no sólo pintar sobre el caño abollado. Buenas rutas!!

thanks a lot!
BMW no longer provides workshop manuals for their newer bikes. Good luck!
@@clayfarnet970don t be ENVY. Bmw owners are richs and can do manteinance in BMW DEALERS
@@Okke-j2n Rich???🤣🤣🤣They have a lot of dept yes
Well done guys, great result without just replacing everything.Great to see stuff being repaired.
Replacing parts and repairing parts is not the same, No feat.
They have no choice because sanctions against russia and belarus. Many cars from the west missing spare parts and are for the most unusable..
Best motorcycle ever made. Still drives mine after 10 years.
And I'm 63yo now.❤
I almost cheered with you when it cranked. That's always a great feeling. I was inspired. Thanks for posting.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this amazing transformation. Well done!!!

Nice work and very nice video, very interesting. Very useful to learn how the boxer works, and how to fix the 1200. Congratulations.
Thank you for saving the GS n made it Great, plus a most entertaining n progress video
Absolutely amazing work

That's one of the most amazing video of I ever seen.
I own one of this models, and there's always joy
That really is a complicated machine. No wonder they cost a lot to service or repair at a shop. Excellent work. Worth greasing the shaft splines too.
Its garbage.

Well, the inside of an engine usually should look clean, on a bike with only a few tens of thousands kms.
A lot of time and effort but a great result 👍
Amazing job, well done!! 👍👍
No puso el gasto y horas hombre trabajadas . Igual es un genio 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏le quedo espectacular la verdad un capo
No need for music, this isn't an elevator. Great work. What did you pay for the bike?
Awesome job. Thanks for showing us and have a great time with the Beemer. 🇸🇪🏆🍻
Amazing skill in restoring this motorcycle.
Nice job! Hard to believe it is the same wrecked bike.
Great work!!! You're an artist!!!💪🏼
Nice work!
I'm not seeing if you change the transmission oil.
You are strong! Keep like that and everything will end in a good way!
@13:34 the way you fixed rear turn indicators is just amazing 😁👍.. by the way nice job brother 😊 great to see that..
Amazing!! I love these videos, I love motorcycles and I always repair my own babies!!
Fantastic work, fantastic result.
Many nights after work, toiling in the shed, and you've got yourself a touring machine par excellence. Awesome!

very well done, good job, like new bike !!!
I'm contemplating doin the same thing, what status was the title and what kind of hoops did you have to jump through to put it on the road?
Wow... Bagus sekali...👍👍👍
Berapa biaya yang dibutuhkan untuk memperbaiki motor tersebut?
Terima kasih...
Great and nice job!!
Hi, I would like to know if the dashboard you installed is new or used. If it’s used, how did you pair it with the vehicle? Don’t you need to change the VIN and the odometer on the dashboard to match with the info in the ECU?
Super Glue on the rear turn signal bodies as a "fix" is wild lol
Oh my goodness what a video that was, what an amazing job you did, and that is one super sexy bike!!
Hermosa quedó la moto🇻🇪
You Sir have SKILLS .....Great video I applaud the repair before replace if possible and a fantastic end result. I hope never to crash my 1250 because I don't have anything like your skill set or tool set.
what tool set?
Great job, where did you buy the lock side bags?
zubrcase.com
worldwide shipping
@@belaruscustoms Thank you, you helped me a lot, I have been looking for it for a long time
Nice bike, good job! Don't know if gluing the indicator arms and windshield brackets will last first time you hit a pothole?
Good video, nicely done, but this made me sure to never ever get a bmw, cool looking bikes but never was a big fan and now seeing how hard are they to work on made me sure not to get one, would like to try it out how it feels.
Hey that’s cool! Where can I buy does aluminum luggage ?
fantastic work, respect😀
Tolle Arbeit. Super Bike. Herzliche Grüße aus Bayern. Marco

Good job.Hope to see more rebuilding❤
Awesome work and content! Congrats
Superbe travail, j'ai eu des frissons au prémier démarrage 👏💪
Enjoyed every part ...good job..except the superglue...I guess this was cheap fix to temporarily test ride it
gave the bike a new lease on life,, great job
I dont know Who are you but you are magicien man.
Is that a factory lowering seat ? Great find. What did you pay at the auction if you don't mind me asking.
auction 4100$
@@belaruscustoms great work. Enjoy your new motorcycle,
how many hours of work on rebuilding that bike ?
Hi I want to know if you can share with me where I can buy parts for the BMW. Cheapers than the factory
Felicitaciones hermoso trabajo y dedicación 👍👏
I really enjoyed watching this video
สุดยอดฝีมือคนรับ👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
COMPLIMENTI per il lavoro svolto e per il video .
One of best restorations I have seen
How much would the bike cost before repair and how much did the repairs cost, just really curious.
Still a good amount. Auction, so it depends. I would guess around 6k usd winning bid. Then add fees and taxes. copart has fees for days. Under 10k when all is fixed. My guess.
4100$ final bid on copart. With logistics it will cost around 6500$ without taxes
This all fake. If not fake. You get your answer
@@NikeNike-gh2pcjealous much?😆😆😆😆😆
Now give it to me 😂
Well done! 🤗
We have just been doing the same in the UK with a NC750X, that was in need of repair.
Love watching your videos plz do without music or with very less music..❤
She is truly Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A quedado genial, por supuesto que merece la pena.
¿Agua soviética? E l traductor automático dice cosas raras. Por lo demás, great job.
amazing Job!!!
I didn’t catch what you paid for it at Copart? How much all in at the end?
Can i ask. The website did you use to know how to fix the bike?thanks you so much
bonjour trés beau travail une moto presque neuve bravo
Parabéns, ela ficou top !!!
