BMW F750GS - Honest owner's review after 10 000 km
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 жов 2018
- Here comes my first, real owner's review of the BMW F750GS 2018 model, after 5 months of ownership and a little over 10 000 km in the saddle. One epic tour through Norway, though the pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, and only one minor mishap. Check out our previous videos on the F750GS in the playlist.

As an English teacher, I´m impressed on your vocabulary, extensive, varied and well used. Nice.
Hey, Daniel! Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated :-)
Instablaster...
Enjoyed the video (and the previous ones) as I wait for my F750GS to arrive. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Hey, Richard! Thanks for the nice words! I’ll do my very best to keep them coming :-)
Thanks to this video, I went out traded my 2015 Street Triple 675 and bought the 2021 F750GS TE, this is a baby compared to some of my other bikes, but she is a joy to ride. she came with all the bells and whistles, not dissapointed, I have since moved the GPS bracket to above the TFT dash, installed a mobile phone quadlock on the handle bars, love the option of flicking through my playlist when riding, and linking it all up through the exquisite TFT dash, installed a Cynmark anti-theft tft bracket, MotoGrafix tank protector, installed some SW-Motech crash bars on the lower engine, SW-MOTECH bash plate, replaced the crappy screen with the adjustable bracket from the f850gs adventure, and put a medium screen on her with a £20 wind deflector on that, makes a massive difference, the seat isn't great, replaced with the comfort seat, have swapped the caste wheels to VMX Spoked Wheels, replaced the front suspension with progressive springs from touratech with a heavier weight oil, it has all made a huge difference. Also replaced the sound resonator with the dominator mid pipe, makes it sound wonderful, proper deap thrum and bark. Added barkbusters to the handlebar, doubletake mirrors, Have now done 6000+ miles on her, couldn't be happier with this little GS, if I want big power I'll ride my sportbikes.
How did you move the GPS mount. Did you have to extend the wires?
@@demotors070161 nope, cables are all fine, didn't need to change them. Just did the simple swap over. Easy 10 minutes job
Great review mate! One of the best things, that in my opinion enhances this review, is the road trip with the bike through this magnificent landscapes! Seriously, this is what I can call an accurate review!
Well done! Cheers
Cheers, Goncalo! Glad you liked it! 👍
I just liked the way he talks and explain things. Keep the good work coming.
Hey, Sun! Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it, and try my best :-)
Thanks for a useful review. My F750GS is on order and should be here in December!
Thanks, Stephen! What colour did you pick, and what accessories and “doohickeys”?
Excellent, straightforward informative review.
Thanks, Alan! Glad you liked it! 👍
That bike looks like it's a lot of fun! Thanks for a very helpful review.
Hey, Robert! You’re most welcome, and glad you liked it! :-)
A very good and fair, informative review. Thank you for sharing.
Hey, Blackie! Thanks for the nice words! Means a lot to me to hear :-) Glad you liked it!
Great to see the final review from you! Thanks
Thanks, Gian! It's hopefully not the last one, though ;-) . More might be coming!
Thanks for making this, I really enjoyed it
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it :-)
Nice review. You've basically convinced me to buy the F750 over F850 as I didn't understand the difference, and now I can see the difference and it's in the way I'm going to use it, ie more on-road than off-road. Also, it was really helpful to see how my purchase of the F750 - a first big bike - will progress to either the F850 or the 1200, depending on how I enjoy the F750, how I use it, and the kind of experience I might be looking for in the future. Good job!
Great and honest review. I just ordered a low suspension with every available option. Bike is actually on its way here to the USA. I have a feeling this bike will be a great machine. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Safe riding.
Hey! Thanks! And congratulations!
Thank you very much ! I appreciate your review a lot !!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻. With kind regards from Germany🇩🇪
I loved your video and reviews.
Very informative and really got a lots of technical information based on your experience 👍
Heading to this kind of bike from my HD and cruiser bike. Thanks for putting this video together.
Thanks for sharing your honest review. Good point you make about the quickshifter. I have recently bought the 2019 model. Added a few extras including having gel padding added to the standard seat, upper engine bars and givi LED spots. Looking forward to plenty of use this year (2022)
Thanks for the good review. I'm seriously considering the 750GS and your info was very helpful.
Cheers, Brian!
Excellent review. Thanks for sharing. It’s good to get a “big guy “ perspective.
Cheers, Jeff! I’m glad you liked it!
Great video, thanks for taking the time to put it together. It has helped me make up my mind about buying a 750GS
Hey, Mari! Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! Means a lot to hear :-)
Thank you so much for this. You managed to put up a series of interesting points on what the 750 GS is and isn’t. For me, that I’m really looking into this model to purchase sometime in the near future, it was great to hear your honest input, especially in what concerns to packs and extras. You did a great job, it was truly helpful! I wish you the best for your ownership, it really feels like a bike to roam the world... Regards from Portugal!
Óla, Henrique! Many, many thanks for your kind words. They truly made my day :-D Ride safe and far, on whatever bike you end up getting :-)
A very balanced and considered review, directed by your personal use cases. What I had hoped to see. Thank you kindly.
Hey, Ross! Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked it :-) It's always nice to hear!
Thank you for this! It's being hard for me to decide between this bike and others and you made me finally take a decision!
Compelling touring - the artic circle clips !!
It’s on my bucket list and I’m close to committing to the BMW Motörrad trip on Aug 2021.
I’m glad I watched your F700GS video, otherwise I’d have missed them !!
Really informative,thanks. Please keep updating
Thanks, Nick! We will!
Just excellent. I want to 750 now, (I'm a short person and beginner). Keep up the great work. No bull, just honest insights, love it!
Really good information. I just bought one 750GS and I'm very excited to start moving on it, which should be in a week. With your comments, I.m much convinced that it was the best choise!!Thanks
Thank you for this thorough review, as I'm considering buying a SH F750, it's been a very valuable source of information.
Thanks for helping me decide to purchase this bike, I really enjoyed your video.
The most informative video of the model so far (for me). Thanks
awesome review my friend. thanks, much appreciated.
Thanks, Oswaldo! Glad to hear you liked it! I hope is was of some use :-)
Great review. Awesome 4K content
Thanks, Richard! Glad you liked it 👍
Awesome review, and I'm even more excited to buy mine soon! would love to go to the arctic circle!
Hey, Andrew! I’m glad you liked it! And you should! It’s one of those things every motorcycle adventurer has to do. Check out Trollstigen and Lysebotn. Great pit stops along the way. Beware the food though, it’s mostly junk food along the road.
I just bought the 2021 BMW 750GS and am very happy with the purchase!
I rode the bike at the launch and found myself singing when riding. I am happy to see that as a long-term rider you are still singing. It must be a great bike.
Thanks for a comprehensive review of F750 GS; I intend to buy one soon. Safe rides 🤞
Hello, Abdelatif! You're most welcome, and I'm glad you liked it! Safe rides to you as well, wherever your adventures take you.
Great video thanks, very comprehensive review and well presented 👍
Well filmed video! Thank you from an F700GS owner.
Cheers, David! Glad you liked it! The F700GS is a great bike. I had a lot of fun with mine :-)
Loved the review, well done.
Very thorough and informative. Thank you.
informative, helpful and real. Thank you, I am lookingat getting a 2019 f750gs low suspension.
very well put together video and informative. Thanks
Nice review! Keep up the good job!
Thanks, Manu! It’s nice to hear, and we’ll do our best 👍
My wife came out of nowhere wanting this bike and now I know what to expect. Good information, Viking Dude.
Cheers, Aussie! You're most welcome! It's a great bike, and much appreciated especially by shorter riders. If your wife is tall, there's taller seat options from the factory that you can look into. If she's average height, the comfort saddle is a recommended accessory. The stock saddle is not very comfortable (like sitting on a bakelite phone from the 80's). There's also a low saddle oem, but it's even worse than the regular one. I would recommend looking at a low comfort seat from Wünderlich or Touratech or some other after-market, if the oem comfort seat is too tall. Hope she likes the bike! :)
Thank you very much. I think after this review I'm ready for the 1250.
Very well done and thorough! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you, we appreciate it :-)
Thanks for the great review. After 20 BMW's from single F650 GS to K1200LT's and everything in between its time to get something lighter than my 06 RT at age 73. The Zero speed and low speed stuff really gets in the way of me getting out and riding. I'm picking up a used 2700 mile F750GS next week. I can't wait. The bike already has the a Givi top box, Madstad windshield and Akropovic muffler on it. I'm looking for Vario cases. The bike is the low version premium package.
Excellent and funny Video. Thank you so much for that. I sold my 790 Duke yesterday and will soon buy a 750 GS. Your videos have strongly influenced me to take this step. Thanks again for that.
Hey, Keuisr! Thanks, and I’m
Glad you liked it! It’ll probably be a big change from the KTM Duke 790. I had a Duke 690R (single cylinder) earlier, but didn’t feel it was well enough suited to long distance travel. I haven’t tried the 790 twin, but I imagine the seat is as hard as ever :-)
@@MotorcycleTouristsThe 790 Duke is a very good machine in its segment. But I wanted much more comfort for longer tours. And there are not many in the middle class who can keep up with BMW. And when I expressed my wish to my BMW dealer, he made me an offer that I could not refuse. ;)
I am currently considering the F750GS low suspension. Great review thank you.
Cheers, Dana! Always nice to hear :-)
@@MotorcycleTourists bought the F750GS and it's going to be shipped next week
Hey, Dana! Congratulations! I hope you'll be happy with it. Let me know how the low suspension works out. I've been itching to try one with it, just to see if there's any noticeable difference.
I enjoyed this motorcycle review more than most - enjoyed your humor, honesty, and knowledge to compare your F750GS to other BMW bikes. I think I'm sold on one.
Thanks, Jacob! I appreciate the encouragement, and I’m glad you liked it! I have 750 vs 850 up too, if you haven’t seen it :-)
Great review. As a long term road rider I am now looking at a more adventure bike, but am shorter so I appreciate the review.
I just purchased a new BMW F750 GS and I totally agreed with your report about the BMW F750 GS, it is an excellent bike, this bike can go everywhere even Offroad and easy bike to control . Best from BAHRAIN 🇧🇭.
Great review! Thanks!
Thanks for this review, Jessie. I am buying a F750 for my daughter and this is helpful ( as all of your videos are). She is 5’4’ and opting for the lowered suspension - mostly for on-road.
Thanks, Matt! It means a lot to hear! It’s a fun and competent bike. Spirited and exciting, but predictable and gentle enough not to set your pants on fire. Hard to imagine a more compelling choice at the moment. Hope she likes it!
interesting ; very top heavy; 25 kg more than 500x and i feel the weight; if you try to pick it up;l i can't !! but
Best review if this bike, ever, thanks.
Great video! Content also has a very high entertainment factor! I own a 2010 F800GS and very much enjoyed the video ;)
Thanks, Walther! Glad you liked it! :)
Very good review. Thanks
Thanks you blokes Norway looks awesome
It’s a great place to explore! Try it if you can, it’s worth it :-)
Great review!
Hey, Dave! Thanks! Glad you liked it 👍
I just did the Death Valley tour-1000 miles 3 days. I rented a f750 gs & well everything said in this review is very accurate
Absolutly great your review. Thank you very much for so much very usefull information!
Thanks, Roger! Much appreciated :-) I’m glad you liked it!
I just ordered now the F750 GS :-) end of April I can pick up. Thanks and best regards
Wow what a very informative review. You you h very important issues. Thank you.
Great and very comprehensive review from an owner's perspective. I'm older but only just finishing my training in the UK. I would like to tour but don't want a GS1200/1250 as my first bike as I think it would be too much for an inexperienced rider. The GS750 appears to be the perfect bike for me but definitely would want a taller screen. These are expensive bikes once you start adding options but would also want cruise control and luggage. Also considering the Triumph Tiger XRX although BMW UK are currently offering some really good deals on a new GS750. I definitely want to tour in Scandinavia in the future, Norway looks amazing. Keep up the good work!
my screen is 4x that hi. perfect. Perfect size as I'm 180cm; or 6' . such a differnt ride than my cb500x but the seat is not as comfy.
Thanks for those honest words. We do need really helpful information
Hey, Haohua! Thanks, and you’re most welcome!
great review!
Excellent review! Grüße aus Hamburg! 😊
That was a very thoughtful review and beautifully filmed. Thanks for taking the time to post this. I am looking to buy one to use in Thailand and still can't make my mind up about the 750 or 850. Like you I do mostly on road but the roads are terrible in Thailand and I would like to do more off road. Actually, the biggest issue for me is engine heat. The 800 was famous for being extremely hot to the point of uncomfortable. Thailand is hot all year round and if the engine is blowing off a lot of heat it will make it unbearable to ride. I realise you are riding in a cold climate and welcome the heat, but what can you tell me about engine heat, is it less with the newer engine?
I test rode the Triumph Tiger 800 and the triple engine was beautiful and smooth, but it cooks your feet and legs. After the test ride my wife said "if you buy it, you'll be riding on your own". Now I just have a Triumph Tiger tee shirt, but no bike!
Hello, Pomoz! Thanks! I’m glad you liked it :-) Toasted feet are, as you guessed, not an issue in this climate :-D The warmest I’ve ridden in is like 32 degrees Celsius, and at that temperature, I didn’t notice any heat coming from the engine, but in truth, it’s not something I was paying attention to. Same with the 700, didn’t think of it. Also, if I were to ride in Thailand, I think the 850 might be the better choice over the 750. As you mentioned, the roads there are what many might consider “off-road”. It’s a lot different here, where the roads are as smooth as a BMW dealer’s sales arguments. Try it out at such a dealer! Let me know if it runs hot. I’m quite curious to know the outcome!
I always laugh when someone says they are going to give an honest review of something that they have already bought and invested in. It raises interesting concepts about human behaviour, thinking and decision making. That having been said, I did enjoy your review, and I think you were fair in assessing the bikes. It would be really interesting to compare the Suzuki DR650 with the F750GS, as many have made the comment that for true adventure riding in remote locations, the Suzuki is far easier to service. I am a BMW owner, so I know the complexities, and yes, they can be a hassle at times, but they are also superb bikes to ride, so comfortable and capable. Thanks for taking the time to film and post this.
Thanks! I appreciate it :-) I told him about your comment, and he likes the idea of doing a comparison. Not sure when we could get around to it since he lives in the other end of the country at the moment, but hopefully we can do a video on the topic early next season. Winter is crawling in and there’ll be snow everywhere in a few weeks, most likely. So April probably. During winter we travel all over and rent bikes, and not maybe very likely to come across a DR650 at a rental :-)
Nothing laughable about it at all...not everyone shows complete bias and defend their purchases. I’ve owned about 35 bikes and I happily say to anyone what is shit and not.
Just hired one for a weeks tour around southern Portugal. I couldn’t spend that kind of money on a new bike, but I agree that as a road tourer it’s superb. Handling, braking, comfort are just perfect. The engine is an absolute peach, super smooth, plenty of power. A real fun ride, great in the twisters, long legged on the motorway. A tiny bit snatchy at very low speed. Low seat, very good luggage capacity and space for two. Enjoyed every days ride on that bike.
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Great review, mines on order
Thanks! I hope you like it as much as we do! Ride safe and far :-)
After 5 years of enjoying a R1200RTWC (the best all rounder for touring- I have had GoldWing and Ultra), I wanted to downsize as I only ride one up and want to have mostly road capabilities and still comfort. Like you, my choice was F750 with every package you could put on it, plus added a real windscreen, Vario bags, NAV above LCD, running lights, sargent saddle and a variety of other Touretech pieces to improve pegs, brake, shift lever. To me, I have basically replicated a comfortable, but lighter multi-day machine with fire road capabilities. However, for week plus trips two up, the 1200 is superior..
Great review. Just great.
Thanks! Glad you liked it:-)
Test rode an F750GS for a few hours today. Very spunky motor with lots of pep. The bike has a lot of personality. Good highway stability. Very maneuverable. Sounds nice. Looks nice. BMW has the best TFT screen in the biz; easy to read in all light; vibrant colors; crisp/sharp text, laid-out logically.
Totally agree! :-)
Nice review and video! I still cannot decide between the 750 and 850. But I am already decided on getting one of them. Will use it 99% of the time on pavement.
Hi, Elgin! Thanks for the kind words! :-) Did you see our comparison between the two?
Great review, thx!
Hey! I'm from Brazil.
I bought my 750 last week and I'm in love!
My proposal, in the most of days, it's use in city and road. Occasionally off-road.
So, I'm think that I made a good choice.
Thanks for the video!
Congratulations, and you’re most welcome! Ride safe 👍
Good review, thank you. This one will be my 2nd Motobike after 10 years. Prior one was a Honda Transalp . I belive this one will be amazing with all electronic things :-)
Just ordered and waiting until October mid. Thank you for your sharing
Cheers, Timur! Glad you liked it! :-)
Giiiizzz, people eating at the same table the guy is cleaning his foot and socks,,, for a moment I thought he would pick up some potatoes off the plate of his friend! Seriously, the video is very good.Your insight is very useful... the best I have watched so far about the GS 750.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I’ll be sure to berate my little bro for his total lack of table manners :-D Not sure it’ll help, but I will surely lord it over him ;-)
Thank you for this.
Not a BMW kind of guy (yet?), which makes my watching of this video a testament of good work on the part of the convenience kind of guy. Thanks for good insight.
Cheers, Gisle! Nice to hear you liked it :-)
Hey Dude... You are the best! Ive seen a ton of these videos over the years, but you are honest and detailed. I am watching because I have the same issue you have to some extent. I rode my R1200GSA on a 17,000km ride from top of South America to most southern road in the world. Fun time. I am 5'8" tall and I have lowered the 1200 as much as possible but its a heavy beast -- especially since its the Adventure model. I dropped it tons -- never at mid-high speed -- always at low speeds. It's heavy. Ok, so I'm now going this summer on a 25,000km ride around top of Europe and then all around Asia. I was thinking about an F850 but I worry that it is too tall for me -- even if I get it lowered and then its not much different than my own 1200 in terms of weight. The F750 is much lower in weight compared with my bike. So would I be unhappy with the comfort? I could add a larger windshield for sure and punch up the bike, but how did you compare your bike with your buddies 1200 on your trip? I will be going off-road but never insane off-road, still enough that rough, gravel, sand, mud all exist along the way. What are your thoughts about comparing the F750 with the R1200? Is it worth changing for my height and less weight and will I lose too much comfort?
Hello, mr. Gecko! Thank you so much! Truly appreciated :-) This is a really tricky question! One I struggle with as well, as you pointed out! :-D As for the 850, it’s tall. Really tall, for us shorties. I can only barely get my toes down with the stock saddle. Gimping the suspension to lower it kind of defeats the purpose of getting it in the first place, and the stock saddle on those is just a cry short of a medieval torture device. And the lowered ones are even worse. So for a long trip like that, you really need the comfort saddle (which is about as comfortable as the stock saddle on the 1200), but then it’s just going to be too tall. I’m 5’ 10” and weigh around 340 lbs. When I sit on a bike, it goes “squeak” and gets lowered by a few of inches, which helps me reach the ground. Even so, the 850 with the stock saddle is too tall for my comfort. I’ve seen people who jump down to hang by their knee at traffic lights, because they’re so short, and their bikes are so tall, so sure, it can be done, but I wouldn’t choose it for myself. Also, the weight difference isn’t that huge between the 850 and the 1200GS. Also, I think at least in many parts of Asia, you will find the suspension on the 750 a bit lacking, if you’re used to the tele-para lever of a 1200GS. While the suspension on the 750GS is both great and much improved from the previous 700GS, it’s still not on par with the 1200. While the 750 is more fun than the 1200 (especially in the twisties), the 1200 is definitely more comfortable, especially on those long stretches. There’s a reason why it’s called “the king of the road”. The 750GS is quite road oriented, with some light offroad capability, and the 1200 is more a 50/50 bike. Even so, for every edge the 1200GS has over 750GS on offroad/bad roads, like better suspension, wider handlebar, better rider ergonomics and so on, the 750GS retorts with less weight and slightly more agility. You would probably welcome the naked bike feel of the F750GS in the blistering heat of Asia, where the wind will cool you down, and with a comfort saddle, you will sit well on it for hours on end. You would welcome the lighter weight, and added agility on it. But, in Europe, and on the highways and long stretches, you will miss the comfort of the 1200 that you’re used to, which eats miles for breakfast. So, there’s no clear winner here :-) Me, personally, on such a long and varied trip like that, both Europe and Asia, I would be really torn. I’d probably either want the new 1250GS, or the 1200GS Rallye. Not the adventure version, but the regular one. Bring a couple of empty, plastic fuel canisters for when I need the extra range, and save on the extra weight and bulk when I don’t. That, or maybe the new Honda CB500X 2019 model, with its 19” front wheel, or with a Rally Raid kit on it, because it has about the same range as the 1200GSA (500’ish and a bit km on a tank), but weighs like a moped. That, I think, might be a really good choice for spelunking about in Asia with. It kind of depends on whereabouts in Asia you plan on going, and how much mud, gravel and jungle you plan on seeing. But I wouldn’t maybe want it for the European highways, so probably the 1250GS. I suspect this didn’t help much, it just made the decision even more difficult :-) Comfort vs. lightweight agility is no easy choice, and one I struggle with continuously. Maybe consider swapping your 1200GSA for a 1200GS Ralleye. It’s a whole lot lighter and nimbler than the GSA. What do you think?
@@MotorcycleTourists Your so considerate. I plan on keeping my 12GSA low suspension bike because it is a 2018 Rally and loaded with everything. I also bought a Sargent low seat which is the best investment on earth for those bikes -- I know you said you have one too. I never felt uncomfortable for the 3 month trip. I will keep the bike because I use it in the States. I live in Florida so I cross the country -- done it twice and took 30 days to mess around from east to west each time. I will do it again and the 1200 is built for North America roads.
Ok, so weight, weight, weight and height, height, height ... It means a lot when going to goofy places. 1200 GS/GSA could be the King but it constantly needs attention and help from my buddies when on crap roads or uphill situations. I am an average rider -- not bad at all, but not the best. 85 lbs. difference between the GSA and the 750GS is massive and maybe more fun than having some bad suspension. Also the seat height is huge -- I would love to sit flat footed with room to spare -- that equates to safety I think.
I need to find out how bad the 750 is on dirt and gravel. So I keep coming back to trying the F750. I would load it up to the tits with Super High Windshield, all the conveniences and I would work hard to find spoked wheels if possible. For sure, add a third party comfy seat -- aka Sargent. I keep looking but other than suspension, the 750 looks very similar to the 850. Another big issue is fuel when going on some daily legs -- none available. A 15L tank sucks -- so I would add a Rotopax 2 gallon (8L fuel container) just in case and put it on pannier. I also saw your comment about the Nav location and I need to find a fix for that to rise it above the LCD -- it is a must when alone on occasion.
Any help or anything you learn between now and end of January, please advise. There is no perfect answer but after riding the 1200GSA on shit situations, I am so into weight loss and low seat height.
Thanks again. Phil.
Hey Phil! I think with a set of knobby tyres, or at least some 50/50 ones, you're good to conquer bad roads. It can get a bit bumpy, but I've not had any trouble with those. Light offroading is fine, too. Obviously, the 850 will be a smoother ride because of the softer, and longer suspension travel. Unless you're in my weight category, you will have access to most if not all of the suspension travel on the 750, so you'll be even better off. It might not be the very best tool for the job, but it's a damn good compromise :-) The 850GSA is out now, with its massive fuel tank, but it's close enough in weight to the 1200, to make the 1200 a viable option instead. I just finished two weeks of filming a comparison between the 750 and 850GS, which might shed some light for you. It'll take a while to edit all the footage, but hopefully it'll be up in a couple of weeks!
Super professional review, enjoyed muchly! I'd pick the 750 due mainly too the fact you'll ride more distance on than off road.
Cheers, John! Truly appreciate it! The 850 isn't a bad touring machine, though. I'd even go so far as to say it's a smidge better than the 750, because of the rider ergonomics and increased power. If you have the legs of a giraffe and can ride it comfortably, that is. I can't. But my legs are super short. Like a cartoon, I have super long torso and tiny little legs, and the 850 is too tall for me. I'm in the process of editing a 750 vs 850 review, so stay tuned for that, if you're interested ;-)
Look forward too the review, Ride Safe! Out
Epic video im getting one when i can
Great video well done 👍
Hey, Deano! Thanks! Much appreciated :-)
A great review and a beautiful bike. If i were going on world wide tour maybe Himalayan for me: cheap, simple, tough, and easy to fix.
I’ve heard that many times. Going to have to try one out for myself soon...
Thank you for using “doohickey” a word I use quite often.
Thanks for Honest review,its price over form and If I can chuck a few bits at a 750 well its going to be cheaper and better MPG!
You’re most welcome, Roy! :-)
good question in the end, that's why having 2 or 3 bikes is the best solution ;)
Hey, Robson! I couldn’t agree more! I need three bikes. At least :-)
Thank you for the information.
You’re most welcome, George!
very good video!!
Thankyou for review. I just purchased F750 2020, I like it vs Harley.
Hey, Erman! Glad you liked it :-)
Thanks for the great review! Hej hej :-)
Hi from Portugal. First of all congratulations for your fantastic videos. As far as I understood from this video, you have a stock confort saddle on your 750, weren’t you using a sergeant one? Other two questions I have as a new owner of a F750 GS are: you travel a lot, don’t you feel the need of a high range lights?; the other one is, as I already two falls of my bike….., and I watched that sometimes you go a little off road, why didn’t you put crash bars on your bike? Hope to keep watching your videos. Keep safe. Álvaro
Good review. A big factor though in our country is we actually want and need airflow.
Cheers! It does warm your legs a little bit. Not as bad as some other bikes, though. I just spent a week riding it around in 30°C at slow speeds; slow moving traffic, twisties, hairpins and so on. And every now and then I could feel the heat against my leg. Not enough to bother me, but enough to be noticed once in a while. But as soon as you get moving, it cools down and the wind cools you down too.
Nicely presented,thks.
Thanks, Bruce! Glad you liked it! :-)
Very well done.
Thank you for very very informative channel. Want to know how does the 750 and 850 bikes handle with a passenger and what is the comfort for the passenger? Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the video. I felt in love with GS models since couple of years. I have been to BMW Motorrad shop and tried 1250 GS. Unfortunately I am only 172 cm tall and this bike does not fit me. So I will go for 750 GS. But first.. bike driving license :) have to be completed. Hoping to joing GS family in summer.
Hey, Dmitry! You’re most welcome, and I’m glad you liked it! It’s a great bike and I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun with it. Good luck with the license and ride safe :-)
Get the 1200gs rallye which can be lowered to very low seat height with bmw low suspensions and low seat. Idk why bmw hasn't made a low suspension kit for the 1250gs yet.
Best review! =D
Thanks, Rafael! It means a lot to us to hear!
Thanks for the great review. I’m a big heavy guy and it’s great to see reviews on bikes from your point of view. It makes me much more willing to buy a 750 or 850 when a big guy reviews it and says it has plenty of power and suspension travel for him.
Hey! I’m glad you liked it! The dynamic ESA lets you adjust the load as solo rider, rider with passenger and rider with luggage. I have it permanently set to rider with passenger, and that works for me and my weight 👍
Fantistic review as usual, thanks! I had a 700 exclusively as my daily commuter, great city bike, got a new Tmax a year ago but I want to go back to a proper motorcycle, the 750 looks good for the added farkles and technology. Following your reviews, thumbs up.
Thanks, Luis! Glad you liked it! Isn’t the TMax like an executive lounge on wheels? I actually almost got one as my first bike! But ended up a different route, so I never got around to even try it. And now, with the 750, all I can think about is when I get to go out on a long adventure tour next, and where to go.
Try a Honda X-ADV (it's 750cc). 😎
@@gordonLP I tried it and felt cramped for my 6'1" height, it was definetely faster than the Tmax but the F750GS will run circles arround it.
@@gordonLP Its very small though. Im 1.89 and you can't turn the steering full lock without it hitting your knees.
