Bin riding since I was a young lad 8yrs old love all motorcycle my dad was a Harley rider but had passion I inherited,I enjoyed watching this so much watched to the end,you have to have passion n love of riding to make this whole trip congrats to all of them
A set of full on Dunlop knobbies would been worth their weight in platinum on those sandy days. Enduro tires are just horrible off road. The older Dakar bike is AWESOME!!! All of these bikes are awesome! I want to do one of these so bad! I don’t think they would treat me as nicely on my KTM. lol
That looks like a blast of a time. I would like to know which bike faired better, the 800 or 1200? It looked like the 800 on the climbs and sand would have done better?
I want what the broken leg rider Reese must have taken, he smiling with freshly broken leg. Plus girl says he's been bitten by family lion and he smiling.
Why would they have to do an oil change on this kind of event and these sort of bikes? I thought only highly stressed engines with low oil capacity meant short service intervals
Never knew that. I used 10/40 grade when everyone else was on 20/50 plus changing at 4000 miles. Rode from Scotland to southern Spain encountering temps of 40c between Madrid and Granada and below 0c crossing the Pyrenees. On a previous trip after going to France Italy and Switzerland I met a couple at Le Havre on a Triumph T160 Trident He was on his second gallon of oil after doing half my mileage
are you going to be in the madrasas? sunshine coast to gold coast is like going to IGA you would be lucky to do a tank of fuel. its an insult to the GS
@@ykhemesh72 I lost my left leg above knee in 1991 after a drink-driver took me off my RD350LC. I'm still riding with a Kliktronic gear shifter. I just put my deposit down yesterday on yet another bike - a 2017 R1200GS Adventure. Best of luck to you!
Peace be upon you. I hope that I have such a motorcycle and my dream will come true. I am from Morocco from the city of Berkane. My name is Al-Bouhadidi, Noureddine. I live in the roundabout of Habeel No. 3, Taourirt
you must have missed the point - it's not about riding the gravel roads. People crossed the whole continent to get there and then went exploring around one of the most beautiful states. I personally did in total 8000km in 7 days and gravel was less than 10% of it.
@@dragonknightadam You are right you can turn any of these more dirt worthy true dual sport machines into serious long haul adventure machines. I ran my little crf250l 800 miles in one day without issue then two days latter 800 miles back home. I am more comfortable on my crf250l with a seat concepts seat a large gas tank, and my bar and risers than I have ever been on my Harley Davidson dyna wide glide that I have taken around the entire USA on trips of 15,000 miles, so I know I can do the same on my crf250l as I am much more comfortable in this seating position, and with a seat concepts seat my butt is comfy as well. Add on the saddle bags the number plate bag and tank bag along with what ever bag I choose to carry on the rear rack I have plenty of space to take whatever I need on as long a trip as I would like. I can do all that and pick my bike up all day long if I needed to. I made my plated wr250f somewhat comfortable as well, but it is my off road machine and is still geared to low for serious road stints. The stock seat on that bike was a joke though and if you chose to sit for a half hour while on the road your butt would go numb that fast. The DR and DRZ are great bikes that are capable of any adventure, and still light enough for serious off road riding. I commute on my little modified crf250l an hour down the interstate daily at 75 mph but would be nice with a bit more power to get out of the way if needed at these speeds.
Man, these bikes are so heavy, they look like rugged offroad bikes, but they are pigs, expensive and complex for this kind of riding. The old GS airheads had the right idea.. they are sport touring bikes bith knobbies, farthest thing from an enduro
The GS 1200 is an excellent running bike for 3 years, then the warranty expires and the GS begins to fall apart, at this point the GS becomes very very expensive to own!
JEB by the end of Long Way Around their bikes were pretty much junk. Not that the trip wasn't intense, but the subframe on all 3 failed in more or less the same place. I also wonder how well those engines handled the questionable fuel they had to use.
this is all about marketing, nothing of real adventure but just a fake experience for rich people. starting from a lux hotel and passing through places without having time to integrate and understand the surrounding but like invader, like western people with American Indians. it's a nice ride in the mud, that's it

This os the best video I have ever seen on YOU TUBE.
Gotta say..the bikes are amazing. They just keep going 💪👍
Enjoyed the bug episode, figure i would watch from the beggining. Great eyes and smile
Excellent!
BMW best brands in around the world.
BMW Motorcycle secured! Safe life! Safe Environment.
BMW Motorcycle for All.
Thanks
Lol
Great ride, brilliant.
Obviously BMW would prefer to sell the big flagship. This looks like a fun event, but the 650 or 800 is much more suited.
Or a Vstrom. LMAO!!
Nice video💪👍

I think they're jealous of your KTM.
Envy is killing me!!!
Loved it..

Both did very well - the way 1200 is balanced is amazing
My vote's on the 800, 1200 weighs like 700 pounds with boxes..
Problem comes when using legs for wrestling the beast to restore order. It doesn't matter then how "balanced" a bike is then.
Got to do this ride so cool Aussies put this on my must to do list ride hard Aussie
love this bike to BE IN NEPAL TOUR AND ADVENTURES

Watching this wonderful video gives me the idea of a GS SAFARI ADVENTURE "SALTO ANGEL" EXTREME CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
Been riding for over 40 year's,I would love to take up the challenge, Don't think we have this in Canada.
This was a lot of fun, I love the 2014 BMW F800GS
ONLY FOR THE BRAVES !!! BEST BIKE EVER !!!!!!!
Hi, i am frm bhutan, i realy like that , i would love to participate that event
fantastic
Just don't get how sow many flats and troubles on flat smooth treks.
Maybe gs stands for good street bike, I'll buy that, put it in the dirt then it's on it's side.
Possibly tyre choice and due to numbers of bikes a statistical probability
Maybe because BMWs are really unreliable motorcycles?
Excelente evento. Si algún día me hago rico. Tendré una moto así y participaré en paseos de este nivel.
Мая мечта,дикость. Живут люди.
Ринат Фахретдинов рекомендую посмотреть другие видео на моем канале. Особенно КТМ на котором я был 6 месяцев назад
Ринат Фахретдинов GS есть? Если есть надо ехать, даже если нет , всё равно надо ехать! Привет из Минска ))
Has anyone got the GPX file from this trip? Or know where to find it? Thanks

fraser nicol it was 42 degrees heat which destroys the oil plus some people had to travel 3-4 thousand km to the event itself

Интересней было бы смотреть, чтоб они без посторонней помощи все это прошли.
After the accident and losing my left leg....
I wish I can ride again my BMW F800 GS....
😢😢😢😢😢😢
It could be worse, i know , it doesnt help you much.
I wish always good luck for you.
@@pesthizid thanks 🌹🌹🌹

Tiger 1200
Those bikes seem a tad heavy and big for many of the riders on that course.
Joseph Howard want to bet they had sponsored support thus the type of bike and style.
In thailand , you've got to have rich father to ride a BMW.
Might be easier on klr
This is a BMW fans. KLR for KAWASAKI fans, and real life for real riders, motorcycle fans is better.

It was fucking great! What are you bitching about?
@@bradcarroll3719 If I had the cash I'd want to try this at least once to say I did it.
So astute

Dad army
i thing to you invite other rider it s for fun to
I kinda feel like a lot of these dudes are noobs to offroading.
Kinda crazy, so many tire issues? What happens to solo guys going through Mongolia?
Not reassuring.
If they would have uses Supermotos with enduro tiers they would cut the time with half if not more
same as above - I can't sit on my motard for more than 300km - good luck doing 8000km on it.
Is this a show or something? Lol
middle aged business men putting on gravel roads. How civilized...
you must have missed the point - it's not about riding the gravel roads. People crossed the whole continent to get there and then went exploring around one of the most beautiful states. I personally did in total 8000km in 7 days and gravel was less than 10% of it.
You're not dandy.
Not really an adventure bike at 600# way too heavy, a DR 650 would do much better and be more fun
same as above - dr650 8000km in 7 days would make you redefine pain and suffering
Would be interesting to see if I'd make it on my 1994 DR650rs, after a few modifications I think I'd make it

If you want a challenge get a big gs. If you want fun get a small Japanese bike for adventure.

@Captain Caveman sound words, ideally directed to the marketing departments who dress highway bikes as "adventure" bikes.
The basic Suzuki DR650 are better suited to this ride.

Peter C only in the dirt, not extended street
That 1200 is WAY to big and WAY to heavy for offroad.

The GS is overrated. However, BMW's make great sport-touring bikes.
bullshit.
The black bike that Cory was a ??????? Looked bitchen.

There is a reason why these top heavy bikes fall over easy. Stick to something smaller and more manageable.
Expensive entertainment for expensive toys by wealthy people. Why is this in youtube?
