Nothing like a competent rider on a capable bike! No annoying music or endless chatter from the rider. I could even hear the suspension on that GS working. One of the best videos on YT.
Glorious! I just watched some pro reviewer saying this bike was a horrible off-road machine. Thanks for showing what a capable bike it is in the hands of the right rider.
You kind sir are a rare and special kind of crazy. Great video! Great rinding! Thank you very much! And thank you for not adding any annoying music, since the UGS is one of the best sounding stock motorcycles ever.
In Germany there is a team of engineers that worked on the urban project that are jumping (as much as a well mannered German can) up and down saying yes yes yes that is what this motorcycle was designed to do! Great vid!
I rented this bike for a week in LA recently and fell in love with it. I did street riding only, tons of fun in the canyons. Figured it would be a great scrambler. So cool to see this. Just hearing that engine again brings a smile to my face, loved the brutal midrange torque. Thanks for the video.
Truly incredible what this stock bike can do with no mods. Both the bike and the location are truly wonderful, but I am in awe at your riding skills. As a tarmac rider, there's no way I'd ever have the confidence to take those corners at that speed on gravel roads. Respect mate, respect.
That was great, and the exhaust note of the GS was the perfect soundtrack!. Great riding on the forest road, and the off road section!. I'm seriously interested in the Urban GS....this film will be an influence for sure! Cheers, Steve
I bought a 2021 UGS to do exactly this kind of riding....most you tubers dismiss this bike as capable and Roar Lorentsen proves the bike, in stock form, is more than capable...of course Roar is a skilled rider but this is so reassuring!!! I knew my choice was a good one! Thank you!
I know a few lads here in the UK that would cringe when watching this for they'd never take there Gs off roading in extreme terain for fear of getting there bike dirty. Great video and good insight into what this bike is originally built for.
This video deserves to become a classic. A bit like the bike, it is stripped down to what is really needed and so much more engaging, enjoyable and inspiring for that.
Just wow, thought this was another plain Jane POV on the GS as I’m considering the purchase and you blew my mind!!! Well done. I cringed on a few moments. Fantastic riding
Happy to see an Urban GS off-road and get a sense for how it performs. Looks like it switches back and forth pretty well with road-riding. Thanks for the upload!
I’ve not been riding motorcycles since I gave up racing 14 years ago. Tomorrow I am going to the BMW dealership to take a UGS for a test ride. This bike and video has relighted my fire. Looking forward to some slipping and sliding on the forest roads.
Great video! I spent the whole day yesterday looking which 2 bikes would handle my off-road and on-road needs. I am now going with the Urban GS and a set of Wilburs. Thank you so much. I always wanted a boxer but just never cared for the big GS ADV bikes.
I recently have been trying to figure out these bikes and am trying to find something fairly specific. This video answered all the questions. Well done and thank-you!
Great video and great riding skills. I agree with n3qdz (below) about the engineers in Germany jumping up and down. Made me laugh. Was amazed to see you have cast wheels. Obviously you’ve got excellent off-road riding skills so to all the know-it-all “experts” who say the Urban G/S is only capable of handling smooth, graded fire roads, I say, take a look at this guy’s video!
Great video. Thank you. I owned R9T '14, but could hardly even think about leaving asphalt. It was literally pain in the ass just to ride on bumpy paved country roads, not speaking about riding deep in the forests.. Now that is a perfect candidate for a low range holiday ride.
Thank you Finally somebody with some balls ridding a gs urban . thinking of getting one love the boxers . gs 1200 but too much cash . got a 06 1200 gs. Love it .
Thank you for making and sharing this video! This is exactly the kind of riding I usually end up doing. This was an excellent demonstration of bike's capability.
Wow! Really amazing riding and thanks for sharing beautiful scenery. This is the type of terrain I hoped the bike could handle when I first saw it. In the hands of the right rider it surely performs!
I can feel the speed from this video. It conveys the splendor of bmw rninet urban g/s, which can demonstrate versatile performance on rough roads and asphalt roads.
I have exact same bike, what I’m missing is your confidence, great video 👍great example of what you can do with off/on road tyres, I think mine are Mitas and their a great compromise
@@Urkain87 Did you develop your off-road skills on this bike, or were you already a dirtbiker before? You appear to have a great bike handling skills. But I know nothing about it, I’m just kind of considering an adventure bike. Not sure how much I would ever get off road, and would almost certainly avoid anything as technical as you’re doing here.
No such thing as a beginners bike, and this BMW is state of the art for simplicity,beauty, functionality, and performance. Motorcycles returning to basics, yet cutting edge engineering.
great video! the real proof how what is the realistic destination and use of this bike! the real proof of what her abilities are! I dont know your off-road skills and what is possible to do without them, but it seems all real and possible.....NOT GS...NOT ENDURO, BUT SCRAMBLING! VERY WELL DONE!
Thanks! And I know most of these roads like the back of my hand. The consequences at these speeds are still high tho, even if the chance to get in trouble is pretty low
Wow wow!!! Thanks!! This video should be the official vido for this great bike! I am thinking of buing one of this....but Iam also thinking of something diffrent, The Yamaha Tenere 700!! But next week I will test drive this BMW, but the Yamaha arrives in the end of July... Many thaks again :-)
Still enjoying this video a lot. I will add just a technical video suggestion that you might want to try exporting with a higher bit rate, because that will give you more detail in the moving sections of the video, like on the road and trail. Of course if your camera can’t capture super high but rates then it doesn’t really matter what you export. Just a tip, in case you didn’t know. Still a tremendous video, and thanks for creating and publishing it!
If you go flat out down a dirt road like that what are your chances of running into a 4WD or trail bike doing the same. Always a good idea to leave something in reserve.
Thank you for the advice, i allways leave some margin. Never really ride faster than 70-80% of my abilities. And i focus on technique rather than experience. Guess thats part of the reason i never had any serius situations or accidents the last 150-200k km :) The wildcard for me is a moose or other animal crossing the road at the wrong moment.
Nothing like a competent rider on a capable bike! No annoying music or endless chatter from the rider. I could even hear the suspension on that GS working. One of the best videos on YT.
Thank you, im happy you like the video :)
Good thing no one told you in their condescending way that the Urban GS can’t go off road. Nice job.
😄😄
Good to see someone ride rather than talk and no elevator music thank you
Nor raucous rock music.
THANK YOU FOR NOT LAYERING MUSIC ON TOP!

@@SulsaCikkectuve and the german get the idea to create a scrambler (BMW)
Jumping Germans 😆😆😆
You my sir are an absolute HERO using this bike like you do. Exactly like it is intended to do.
Those are some real kind words mr. :)
@@Urkain87 I hope to do the same with my bike in the future.. (will have to purchase one first)

Awesome!
Its so cool to hear other people getting inspired by this video :)
That bike does something magical, it just gives the rider a good feeling!

This is awesome finally someone who takes it off road
😃
Best review yet I've seen of this bike!!
That was great, and the exhaust note of the GS was the perfect soundtrack!. Great riding on the forest road, and the off road section!. I'm seriously interested in the Urban GS....this film will be an influence for sure! Cheers, Steve
Thank you, this video gave me good perspective on what the gs can handle
It’s not a real off-roader, they said. It’s a cafe racer, they said. Roar Lorentsen: “hold my beer”… 😂

Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Colombia
nothing nicer then seeing a great rider working the magic with an awesome bike and really show its versatility with natures beauty
Thanks! The bike is very inspiring :)
@@Urkain87 just looking at one now advise please pre euro5? is best?
@@stanleylawson9015 I'd say e5, because it has ride by wire, gives more possibilities and factory options:)
@@Urkain87 still come back to this one as you do such a fantastic job
So awesome to hear, it's allways nice to inspire other riders! 😃
I’m enjoying the way you ride this beautiful BMW and the the landscapes of your country. Thank you!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid. I have 2023 model. Kentucky USA
Great video! I spent the whole day yesterday looking which 2 bikes would handle my off-road and on-road needs. I am now going with the Urban GS and a set of Wilburs. Thank you so much. I always wanted a boxer but just never cared for the big GS ADV bikes.
Just came across this video in my lockdown boredom and it was great well done I also have a UGS for 17 months and on British roads it is great!
Superb, its an inspiring motorcycle for shure :)

Glad I can inspire a good kind of dreams ! :)

Now that is a perfect candidate for a low range holiday ride.
Awesome landscape and great riding. Really enjoyed the video
Could this video be any better?
*I don't think so*
Great video, no music bulls...,great view and pure joy.
Thanks, I really should do this video/joyride stuff more often :)
Very nice vídeo and landscapes. No comment about the G.S...I simply love ir.
The only BMW I'd consider.
Great riding skills, and it just goes to show what the Urban G/S is capable of.
Thanks!
Its a fun bike that gives you the good feeling when you ride it.
Great riding, great video and awesome sound from that sweet boxer engine. I want one even more now👍
:)
Excellent ride, very happy to see the Urban GS lives up to hits heritage.
That shot on the bridge with water flowing, wow, heaven. My dream, someday!
Fantastic video, kudos.
I was really lucky with the weather and conditions that day, thanks for the good words. Hope your dream comes true one day :)
@@Urkain87 weather was beautiful. This is unadulterated motorcycling bliss.
Yes, I really hope so.
Wow :) what a nice bike and place too!
You road that bike like a savage! I am surprised you didn't opted for the cross spoke rims with your style
Ridgeline Gear haha, thanks for that fun comment :) i have my HP2 Enduro for spoked wheels fun ;)
Honestly this is the only video I’ve found of someone actually off-roading the thing at more than 5 mph showing it’s capable
Haha, cool 😎
Beautiful video my friend! Have never had much of an interest in the fine products of Motorrad but damned if this bike hasn't piqued my interest!
Haha, so cool!
I recommend a test ride at your local dealer, if they have the bike as a Demo ofc. :)
Thank you
Finally somebody with some balls ridding a gs urban . thinking of getting one love the boxers . gs 1200 but too much cash . got a 06 1200 gs. Love it .

Yea, as long as you don't go too fast Offroad it's good, and most importantly FUN :)
Finally someone who goes off road on this beauty
😁😁
Don't tell me...you have a Honda CRF as well, you just picked up the wrong keys this morning....rode it like a demon..... ;-)
Haha, fair point, I was wondering why my MX bike needed keys 😂
I do much more enduro-style riding with my CRF450R :)
I can feel the speed from this video. It conveys the splendor of bmw rninet urban g/s, which can demonstrate versatile performance on rough roads and asphalt roads.
Beauty Machine ..Very nice Video
Awesome video. Dealers have a hard time selling these where I live in Dallas. This video would help!
Thanks!
Same story here in Norway.
Best video of the Urban GS! Awesome to see you using it as it should be used! Thanks.
Thanks, this bike always brings a smile on my face :)
Thanks for this video, that's exactly what I was looking for. Here is very well visited capabilities and limits of the machine. With a good rider. ;)
Those shallow river crossings over the dam can be slippery!
Yes, this crossing was good tho. It was only on the rocks i was more carefull because thats were the higher risks were.
What a lovely part of the world you live in, your very fortunate not to have people everywhere spoiling it.
Happy times, great day out👍
Magnifique!!!! Thank you so much 👍👍👍
:)
I have exact same bike, what I’m missing is your confidence, great video 👍great example of what you can do with off/on road tyres, I think mine are Mitas and their a great compromise
What is most important is that you feel good while riding your bike :)
And the Urban GS is just soo coooooool!
Well done, as I say the bike doesn't know what it is and will go where you want
😂 Good one, all I needed to know is that the tires are willing ;)
Awesome riding and scenery.
Beautiful bike i hope to have 1 someday🙏
Wow, that was a great photo opportunity at 6:07. Great vid, thanks!
Yeah, it's a really cool spot in the springtime :)

6:06 How cool is that! I have an UGS and picked up the AltRider bash plate. Worth it for this type of riding.
It was just perfect 👌
Superfun bike :)
Nice engine “music” perfect👍👍👏👏👏
UA-cam gold, excellent video mate!
Dare The Machine there is more in the making, but need some time to edit 😂
Impressive riding!
Tim Brenner thanks :)
I am considering an used Urban GS, and this video has made up my mind :D Awesome job!
Awesome! Enjoy that ubercool machine :D
Crazy riding, love it!

Skilled riding and safe road lines.
Thanks!
And I know most of these roads like the back of my hand. The consequences at these speeds are still high tho, even if the chance to get in trouble is pretty low
Awesome riding skills!
I really like this bike , good video
Thanks, I like it too, it's just so cool :)
Merci ....terrible machine....i love it...
You've got skills!
Haha, thanks :)
Looking at a UGS this month, thinking I am a crazy poseur for liking it so much. This puts all concerns to rest. Are we in Norway here?
Haha, it's both poser and riders bike. Mostly I just like how it makes me feel when I ride it :)
Yes, somewhere in Trøndelag, Norway.
Wow wow!!! Thanks!! This video should be the official vido for this great bike! I am thinking of buing one of this....but Iam also thinking of something diffrent, The Yamaha Tenere 700!! But next week I will test drive this BMW, but the Yamaha arrives in the end of July... Many thaks again :-)
Excelente.. se la banca muy bien a todo 🤙🏻
Some good mud flicking..well done. I thought this Gs might be a bit of a sleeper, it performs great
Its pure fun :D
What a cool playground!
Like the video and all the r9ts, great all around bikes ☝️
only sound, thats great.
the web is so amazing.
thanks. very muuuuch.

한국하고 다른 풍경에서 달리는 기분이 어떨지 상상해 봅니다. ^^ 영상 잘 봤습니다.
the skills! me thinking if I get me an UGS I'll be like him lol
😂 At least feel like it! Enjoy, and thanks! :)
Hello from Russia!
This video is very good!
Thank you :)
Excellent - thanks!
Thx, nice landscape
Yes i watched all 13 minutes and 7 seconds. It was worth it!!

Great vid makes me want to trade in mine and get one.
Nice video good riding :)
Speedytrip thanks :)
best bike vid and ride ever... congrats man
Thanks, the bike just urges you to have fun like this :)
Living the dream love it 👍🇬🇧
If you go off road, you're eventually going to fall down. That's a tough price to pay on such a beautiful bike.
If i go beyond my limits for shure i will fall 😄
