- Just a quick one this one as my BMW R 1200 RT went in for its 12000 mile service, the expensive one DOH.
I was amazed at which bike they gave me as a loan one and thought I would do a little video to show you it Ha Ha.
Keep watching guys as soon we are starting our yearly big tour of Scotland.
Ride safe everyone
Look forward to seeing Scotland trip. Enjoy and stay safe.
Thanks Malcolm coming soon my friend.
You should have gone to Scotland this week Steve the weather was fantastic, first time I’ve never had rain.
Looking forward to seeing your up coming adventures.
We have a secret weapon Alan we take Mussy with us as he always brings good weather my friend. Pleased you had a great trip fella.
Those BMW dealers sure know how to look after their customers. Two wheels are always more fun than four. Best of luck with the Scotland Tours. Fingers crossed for the weather, there's not a finer place to ride when the weather is with you.
Can't wait for the Scotland tour Richard and yeah good weather is a big bonus my friend.
Looking forward to your Scotland trip Steve 👍👍👍
coming real soon Anthony
that bit under the seat you can push down for more room but not while moving
Ah thanks for pointing that out Jon appreciate that, I thought it was a waterproof cover.
Looking for to seeing your Scotland vids 👍
Coming real soon Deano
Looking forward to seeing your Scotland tour vids once they're up.
I'm up there 2 weeks after you.
Hope we all have cracking weather. Fingers crossed 🤞
Fingers crossed fella yeah.
Nice to see you back posting another video Steve. Looking forward to seeing your Scotland tour. Ride safe mate.
Cheers buddy Scotland should be up quite soon my friend.
A Scooter….. seen it all now lad. Looking forward to your trip up here to Scotland with the lads. RSMF
Ha ha don't think I could go up Scotland on it Alex, roll on the tour my friend.
Steve living down south in the smoke those scooter thingy mebobs are excellent for running round town on tho!!Just got back from a tour round Ireland with the lads 800 miles around the west coast WWWay (1300 total)great scenery quite a bit of rain though as you well know!!!! Been watching re runs of your swiss tour going next year going to follow some of your routes enjoy Scotland.
Nice one Ireland is great but we are gonna return one day to try it in the dry lol. Hope you do Switzerland as it'll blow you away fella it's got to be the best touring I have ever done. Ride Safe my friend.
Hope your well Steve. So I now have my new RT. Like you said it did not disappoint. It just seems to glide along. So many good things about it. Only negative I have found is it has an after market seat, which makes it a bit high. Guess I will find a stock seat somewhere. You take care and ride safe.
Nice one Brian pleased for you, I have a stock seat as I had to buy a lowered one for myself. But was gonna keep it to put back on if I ever sold it. Ride Safe my friend
Nice one Steve. Currently in Scotland now, doing a tour with the missus. Looking forward to seeing your tour. Ride safe mate.
Hope your having good weather, looks good on the forecast fella.
Great to see you back in the saddle again Steve , I bet that was an experience on that little scooter , looking forward to watching your upcoming Scotland adventure 👍🏻
Thanks Dale appreciate that my friend.
Hi Steve, Down to earth with a big Bump.
Big-time Malcolm ha ha
if I'd have known you was coming to my neck of the woods It would have been a tea and bacon bun on me, enjoy Scotland mate and Ride safe, looking forward to watching the vids!!!....we go to the Lake district in 10 days for the Hardnott pass experience, lol, take care pal, regards, Bazza
Fingers crossed you get good weather for the Hardnott pass Bazza, ride it safe my friend.
Thanks for sharing the video.
Not sure whether that scooter would accommodate my height and weight, but interesting that it has some 'go' when the throttle is opened up.
Looking forward to your Scotland videos, we'll be up there the week after you at a guess. Hopefully we'll both have good weather.
Have a good one.
G
Cheers George lets hope we both get at least a few good days as the weather really does make a bike tour. Ride safe my friend.
Nice to see your loan bike enjoyed the ride. If your after any ideas for Scotland look at Martin Trafford moorland biker .my father in law used to do coach trips all over Scotland and has lots of interesting tails and sights to see
Thanks for the heads up Phil will check him out.
Hi Steve enjoyed that mate, I had a suzuki burgman 650 that was a cracking piece of kit just a bit boring to ride after a while, nice 1 mate. The fev rider
Cheers Fev was good fun but bet it would wear off after a bit. Ride Safe mate.
Suits you sir! I had to go to Barrie Robsons in York to buy my Beemer. Marshalls very reluctant to sell, and wouldn't give me a test ride. Great video as always, looking forward to more.
Cheers Tucker was told Marshalls don't do test rides which I find odd 🤔 ride safe bud
A few years ago I had a test ride on a Bergman 650. What a machine as it was so comfortable and very quick but not the same as my FJR1300 mind 🤣
Small things are fun Richard but you can't beat the big lads eh.
@@Steve-Clark there’s a vlog on here where a honda blackbird racing at max 500 in the alps. The blackbird cannot lose the t max. The blackbird is a much sportier bike than Fjr, I’ve owned both. I also had an x max250 alongside my 1100 and it was my go to tool for everyday transport.
@@volt8684 cheers for all that info my friend.
Took a friends new 2019 Vespa 300 and it caught me off guard with the acceleration. Though tiny wheels in bends I didn't get used too on with
totally different ride on small wheels isn't it 🤣
Nice one Steve.....
Cheers Henry 👍
I’ve never rode a twist and go. I’d worry that I’d “Blip” the throttle or as you say grab the back brake like a clutch. Or do both at the same time which I’m sure would produce a spectacular looking result 🤣 Can’t wait to see your Scotland trip mate, keep safe 👍
Thanks Chris I did actually pull slightly on the left brake thinking its a clutch once as its so hard not to lol.
Test ride the Honda X-ADV 750 scooter … Sport mode2, traction control off and in manual … it’s exciting 😁
If ever I get chance Ian I will cheers.
don't think I'd fancy doing motorway speeds on that like Steve lol.
No you have to hang on for grim death at 70 Bazza but fun below those speeds 👍
Don't forget my pizza Steve.🤣🤣
Nice one J R ha ha
For me it would be worse the other way round as a rider of a maxi scooter (ADV350) if they gave me something large like an Africa Twin as a loan bike. I had to an emergency stop yesterday on the way back from my 2 filmed rides and both hands on the brakes was an efficient way to stop (it’s a few years since I’ve ridden a geared bike)
Please don't get me wrong it really was a fun bike to ride but I can see your point of view for me to ride this was easy but if you are used not to have gears it would be harder to ride one with them. Whatever we all ride let's stay safe on all the wheels we ride my friend.
Don’t think you be touring on that Steve nice to see you back on u tube though 👍
Ha ha yeah no touring on that for sure. Ride Safe my friend
Is this from Grimsby Marshalls ? My GTL is in for a service next week and they offered me this, I just told them I'll go for a breakfast at the cafe in the village instead
I've seen further into the video now...it was Grimsby
Ha ha you ought to have a go it's quite fun actually Steve and mine was in for about 4 hrs a little to much time to kill in the village. hope all goes well my friend.
Steve likes a sausage - even if it isn't between his legs - it's a wonder he didn't go to the cafe.
Nice video mate. I think you look good on that Scooter 🛵 . I reckon YOU MUZY AND RUSS would look good touring around Scotland on those Scooters. Cheers 🦘
On order for next years tour LOL
Are they trying to tell you something Steve 😂
Yeah maybe Jason ha ha
I wondered where my Deliveroo order went to.
Ha ha don't give me ideas Rick lol
Good to see you Steve, Back up Scooter or for older guys?
hi Joesph was fun but wouldn't buy one fella, stay safe friend.
Has it got race mode? Joking aside my mate has a Honda 600 scooter and keeps up with us no problem and he’s comfortable
Yeah my whole view on these machines has changed for the better since riding one 👍
Package of Digestibles under the seat old one...
Good idea
I see you left the SW Motech tank ring on when you took it in - did that cause them any hassle when changing the air filter? (Oh, and the gubbins beneath the seat is a "drop down" extension to the storage space - can only use when stationary).
Didn't realise tank ring had to come off for filter change Alan but you have solved a mystery for me as it was hard to lock tank bag on after service and on closer inspection I used to have a washer under each bolt to pack ring up to ease fixing bag on. These have been removed but when reassembled forgotten to be put back so ring is a smidge lower again, thanks 4 new washers back on and bag easy again.
@@Steve-Clark I was wondering about that (mine goes in for 1st year soon, but I don't think that includes air filter) because they forgot to put the oil filler cap back on at the running in service and I'm a bit paranoid about all the different fairing bolts going back in their correct holes 😲
@@horspiste I would be paranoid as well if they left oil cap off as that really is a schoolboy error. Air filter isn't changed normally until their 12000 service which is pretty much everything and costs a packet trust me 🤣
I was on that very same scooter 2 weeks ago. Quite liked it but wouldn’t buy one.
My exact opinion to Andrew fun but no buy.
Hi Steve where abouts in Scotland are you heading?
We are going to be based in Nairn and travelling north, east and west from there Brian.
iv a Yahaha300cc n.max now Steve.
these are loads more fun than I ever imagined Fred.
@@Steve-Clark yip 100+ miles to the gallion.
brilliant in these crazy fuel price times 👍
If that is what the lovely Jess offers me next week when my bike goes in for a service, she will be told what to do with it.
Ha ha they have swapped Jess's around Jason cars gone to bikes and bikes gone to cars.
my new s1000xr has all that
they do Austin your right my friend.
My motorbike is in bmw for a service and mot Monday its done around 11.500 miles how bad is the cost and what did they do above a normal service for the 12k one ? 😬 cool looking scooter 😎 👌
Gus they did everything ie oil,oil filter air filter new plugs valve clearances, every thing possible but brake fluid which was done on 6000 one. plus full BMW health check including video for you. BUT 361 quid bit steep 😲 ride safe mate
@@Steve-Clark full on job done then, its about what I thought I'd paying not great but got to be done . Keeps the wheels turning 😀👍
@@bmwgsblackgus7636 and the warranty going 👍
Omg I'd rather have got the bus home 😂😂😂
🤣😂 know what ya mean 👍
@@Steve-Clark hope all is well with your bike Steve.
All good thanks Steve just back from Scotland and it did me proud my friend.
My R 1200RS was in for service in Germany lately. I got an F800GT to ride home for free.
How much did you pay? My 40000km service was 650EUR.
Hi mate last time I had a loan bike from them it was the F800GT but they got rid so had the scooter 🙄 mine was the 12000 service which is the big one and cost £361 my friend.
@@Steve-Clark interesting, thanks for the info
go on Steve give us a clue how much was the service my 1250 gs is due the 6000 service and that's 230 quid. 😢
It was the 12000 big one Mick and cost 361 quid fella but included everything but brake fluid which was done on the 6000 one. Had to have it though to keep up the warranty.
@@Steve-Clark Another great vid Steve, thanks for the heads up on the cost, my GS1250 is due in 1050 miles but like you say, gotta be done, does this have to be done at a main dealer to maintain the warranty..?
@@ianpenny2102 Unfortunately yes while under warranty it does have to be a BMW garage. Next year my warranty will be out and will probably do it myself.
@@Steve-Clark makes sense actually Steve, thanks for your reply, guess I'll have to bite the bullet..
Looking forward to the Scotland tour. Ride safe matey.. 🏍🏍
Hello! Just for a guide, how much does a 12,000 mile service cost? My next service on my GS1200 is due next year so I’m that I had better start saving up. Thanks John
You had better start saving John as it was £361 as they do everything on this one, the only thing they didn't do was change brake fluid as it had been done on it's 6000 service. High price but kept the warranty cover going.
@@Steve-Clark Thanks Steve. That’s not as bad as I thought as it includes changing the drive shaft oil. 👍
My 2020 1250RT 12000mile service cost £416. Tappets checked but didn't need adjusting. Dread to think if they needed doing as well! For comparison, first service 600miles cost £180 and second 6000miles cost £260.
I enquired about the the 5 year service option at the time which was £1199 but the dealer persuaded me otherwise!! £856 so far and 2 more years to go. Shouldn't have listened...
@@davidblundell3629 it's certainly an expensive hobby David that's the truth.
Err thats not stricktly true eu banned manufacturers insisting you use motorrad dealer for service you must use a proper bike shop and bmw parts.
thanks for that Austin
@@Steve-Clark i sold my z1000sx. My gen 1 tuono and my 05 rt and bought a new s1000xr in april didnt get on with it. Just over 1 week ago i traded xr in at allen jeffries rotherham for a brand new r1250gs adventure te rallye with the gold wheels tony at bmw did me a great deal lost very little on xr after 3.5k miles man the 1250 is some machine
@@austinmatthews347 wow Austin a lot going on there but you've ended up with one hell of a machine my friend ENJOY !!!
