This weekend I decided to try for the first time a really famous mountain road here in the alps called "passo Rolle", on the way down I met this really fast BMW GS rider and I decided to try staying behind him, even if, as you can see, it was way harder than I anticipated. Unlike me, the guy clearly knew what he was doing, even when he did a couple of questionable overtakes he always looked 100% in control of the situation, it was amazing to watch him flic that thing around, I didn't lose him only because of traffic and because he didn't push too much on the straights, nothing but respect for the rider. Let me know what you think in the comments, I really appreciate them.

Questo weekend ho deciso di fare per la prima volta il passo Rolle, mentre scendevo ho incontrato questo BMW GS particolarmente veloce e ho deciso di provare a stargli dietro, anche se, come si può vedere, è stato molto più difficile del previsto. Al contrario di me, si vedeva che quel tizio sapesse quello che faceva, anche durante un paio di sorpassi discutibili sembrava sempre essere al 100% in controllo della situazione, è incredibile vedere come riesce a guidare una moto del genere, non l'ho perso solo grazie al traffico e al fatto che non spingesse troppo sul dritto, gran rispetto per chiunque fosse alla guida di quel GS. Fammi sapere nei commenti cosa ne pensi, lo apprezzo davvero.

Gs’s are amazing but I believe knowing the road it the most important asset
Yeah knowing the road makes a pretty big difference, but I think being skilled in general makes an even bigger one
Sympa de t'attendre 👍
Few people can keep up with a well ridden GS, especially the 1250 and, the 1300 is even quicker. You can get 50+ degrees lean angles on the road and knee on the tarmac very easily. Remember that although it's the rider, the GS makes an average rider look good👍
I believe that if someone is truly good at riding he can be quick on any bike, the way that guy rode that big GS through those tight corners tells me he was definitely skilled.
@@MatteoBaldithats the example to how a gs should be driven! Most people mention a gs is the bike for unskilled old farts! I myself made them think twice very often!
Yeah the GS is a very popular bike and in general it's considered as kind of a "dad bike" but there are some GS riders that could outrun most sport bike riders on a mountain road.
I could say the same for my R1200rt
Totally disagree. Put the same good rider on most bikes outrun a gs.
Nice riding dude
Thanks, appreciate it
I've seen GS riders scrape their panniers in curves. I ride an R1150RT myself, also a pretty good road handling bike, but the bike is better than me, LOL!
Du schaltest leider viel zu oft......das bringt dich aus dem Rhythmus. Mit der GS fährst du bei 25km/h im 3.Gang.😍😍😍😍😍
Just notice before - but when became owner of BMW boxer low center engine I was surprised how much I can pass faster the curves if compare him with in line engine cylinders bikes. So try BMW boxer and you can understand why is GS but not only GS faster than you! Can you imagine naked R NINE how fast is it? When seat on his saddle I felt that bike completely is molded to my body and we are working in the one piece....this is most important between bike and rider.....be a one piece on the road...
I wouldn’t call that chasing a GS I would call it following way behind
Hahahaha I agree, but "following way behind a BMW GS" doesn't sound very catchy does it?
I' ve been watching a few videos of yours , nice ride.
Just try to change gears a bit better.
Keep up the good work
Thank you man and yeah you are right, the gear changes are something that I still have to work on
@@MatteoBaldi I think gear changes fine..keeping it on the torque ..not trying too hard and on a road you don't know
Yeah it's just something I want to get better at, I think it's nice to always try to improve your skills as a rider, so you can have more fun while also be safer
i like the sound of your exhaust, is not the original, what is it ?
Actually it's still the original one, I use my phone to record the audio so the sound gets picked up pretty good even if it isn't really loud
I wonder if hes a police officer, with those riding skills
I don't think so, it would be funny if he was tho
Just a question. Why are you chasing the BMW?
Mainly for fun, it's not like we were racing or anything, I just wanted to see if I could keep up with him
If you have to ask you'll never understand
i make the same with my Tracer 9...
Trying to keep up with a rider with more skill is never a great idea.
Completely agree
@@MatteoBaldi This is why I never rode in groups: the leader will always be riding at a speed that is not natural to me - either because he or she is more skillful or because he or she is more foolhardy. Either way, I'll ride at my own speed - and alone. It's equally fun but it's a whole lot safer.
@@scrumpymanjack yeah when you ride with someone else usually it's either them that are faster than you or you that are faster than them, and in both cases it's more dangerous than riding alone. Ideally you should find someone to ride with that goes at the same pace as you and I think that in that case it is really fun, but unfortunately it's not easy to find someone that goes at your exact same pace.
Se ti sorpassano così, io non starei a rompermi il collo per starci dietro... Era nettamente più veloce 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Sì sì hai ragione, cercare di stare dietro a gente che va più forte non è mai una buona idea
Gonna get yourself and others killed riding like this…. That overtake at 1:13 smh
I feel like all the overtakes I did in this video were quite safe, maybe from the GoPro it doesn't look like it, but I always had plenty of visibility
Nah 1:13 was fine. But if you keep the revs up a bit, your overtakes would be faster. Nice road :-)
Yeah that's true
Nothing wrong at all with that overtake
That gs is cruising
If he was going for it you would not of seen him after 2 corners
Nice road tho👍
That's not fast
😢
