Respect to the Transalp drivers, especially on those tires 😮
Them boys were riding hard! :)
Masterclass of circuit knowledge and care for others. Respect to you. You made it look so easy fella.
Thanks!
My respects man! The punchy boxer always willing to bring tons of power an torque at mid range. It’s even impressive how well its sounds near the red line.
Yeah, it's a marvelous motor
Brought back many happy memories. The ring is an exciting track that can catch you out quite easily especially on what you think is a sunny day and a light shower has dampened the just one part of the surface and boy does it bring on a twitch.
After more than 150 laps, over many years, 2024 will be my last visit but no longer at those speeds, my reactions are not as quick as they once were.
I have enjoyed pushing the GS through those bends so many times and watching this and other videos I still remember the lines but I guess a sighting lap would be useful even so before my last lap.
Thanks for the video, most enjoyable.
Thanks for watching!
I’m still on a 2011 R1200 GS and this video has convinced me I need the 1250. Good grief, that shifting is immediate and sounds so freaking smooth.
It's pretty smooth, IMO. The torque is the big difference from 1250 to 1200
More proof that, whatever it is, if it's got an engine frame and wheels, it can never be called boring. Fantastic stuff.
I just love all motorcycles. It's a curse
Excellent Dale, haven’t been to the Ring for a while but this makes me want to! All the best!
Thank you very much! Maybe see you here in '24
I've been a fan since your PB days. Its been awesome to see you back on two wheels!
Hey, thanks!
Respect to the guy on the Honda and respect to you too it's only in your video have seen someone handling an adventure bike like sports bike respect 🙏🙏
🤙
I own a transalp and seeing what's possible gives me confidence on my own bike.
Funnily enough it does not feel like a 21-18 front rear setup and is actually quite planted in corners.
I've touched pegs before which is simply ridiculous on an adv bike of all things.
Many reviewers say it is the best road handling ADV bike.
I am waiting to get my 2024 in a few days once the dealer gets it.
It's a good bike, but I did go Tuareg in the end...
Fantastic example of how to do it, would love to behind you gaining more confidence on leaning. Fantastic to watch you and hear you going to follow you, and hopefully have more of his content.
Thanks! I'm turning over a new page on the channel, and aiming to take it seriously in 2024. I will also be instructing on the Doc Scholl course again.
Love the sound of the big boxer! Great riding also 🙂
Thanks mate!
I really enjoyed that. Great commentary! :)
Thank you very much, and thanks for the sub!
as a Transalp owner, with a friend that owns a beemer I approve 😁😆
hahah makes sense!
Honda forever
As ever, nice riding and a pleasure to watch sitting at my desk with a nice cuppa 👍👍
Did I hear right that you did the lap with luggage on the GS?
Good to know if I ever get there on my 1250 I can take my sandwiches with me!
Yes I did 😂🤫
Loved hearing the BMW sounded great. The TA did well. Change the rear suspension unit, then the only limit is the tyres and may be BHP.
The TA can definitely benefit from better suspension. I think it has enough power tho
This is awesome - plan to take my Hyper to the ring next year 👍🏻
Have fun! I'm writing a guide to lapping the Nurburgring in 2024 this month, and will upload it before the season begins. If you're serious, booking for Motorrad Action and Doc Scholl are both open now. I instruct on the Doc's course. Both are road-legal bikes only, but both are private events, no cars allowed.
@@btgmoto i’ll take a look online 👍🏻👍🏻
Curious if you need full leathers to get on, or if you can sneak a cheeky lap or three in riding jeans and a touring jacket.
As long as you're wearing 'motorcycle' gear, it's OK. Jeans with armour and kevlar, for example. Personally, I'd wear the best kit you have. TF sessions can be terribly dangerous, especially for first-time visitors.
What the fuck is he doing..😂 Never thought I’d be watching a track day on a Transalp. One day I’d love to make it over there for a few very average laps..
Great riding fellas x
That’s very impressive, serious question- why the panniers?
I just wanted a photo of the GS, knee-down, pannier-down... both panniers were scuffed, but nobody got the photo
Best thing ever.
Thanks!
Those scratches were from the side pegs or from the engine crash bars?
From the pegs here. Bars and cylinders have already been scraped tho
Ciao, vedo che monti dei riser per arretrare il manubrio, nella guida sportiva come va? Migliora o peggiora il feeling? Grazie
Little bit worse, maybe. They were good for off-road, and also the Autobahn
Too much fun!
So much, I'm worried they'll ban it
Liked and sub'd after watching this😎A fellow Brit motorcyclist living in NRW Germany 👍
Welcome aboard! Maybe we'll see each other around, especially if you visit the Nurburgring!
Shift and brake assist are so awesome
The systems on the GS really are top notch
Epic 👌👌👌
Thanks Andy! See you again soon?
What tires did you have on the bike?
Dunlop Mutants on mine, Trailmax Raids on the Hondas I believe?!
@@btgmoto WOW....
Pretty much what I said in every single corner... @@Paulschen100
Stock or custom muffler?
On mine? The Akra, with the baffles removed :)
Not afraid of any wobble?
No, I don't think so.
Niice
Brrrrap
🤩
thanks!
Tires?
Mutants on the GS, and Trailmax Raids on the Hondas
weight and driving skills counts more than horsepower ! 🙂
Weight counts double ;)
Nürburgring?
No it’s Tsukuba 😂
Yep, a public session on the Nurburgring Nordschleife
but what the hell has a motorbike to do on this course? i better drive with porsche, therefore the ring was built.
How embarrassing for the Porsche driver to be overtaken so easily by an ADV bike.
Yeah especially when he was driving slowly lol
It's tourist time, it's supposed to be for the average joe to explore the track. No shame in it
