RIP Cristian. Huge loss to the motorcycle community. We will miss your positivity and your enthusiasm for all things motorcycle. You lived a short but a very privileged life. Ride in paradise my friend.
@@mariobianchi1909 can you elaborate more please... would be good for a link to pay tribute... just discovered this channel, seems like a wonderful man, regards from New Zealand
I feel so ignorant. I am looking at Africa Twins and this channel has been a huge help. I stumbled onto it a few weeks ago and am blown away that someone so passionate and young has passed away. After watching hours of footage I stumbled onto some comments saying he died and am so sad. This channel is inspiring to thousands of people and am so deeply sad to learn about the loss of such a giant in the motorcycle community.
I keep coming back to this video. I bought my Africa Twin this past week. I think this gorgeous scenery sold me. Thanks for always putting together such great content.
I visit Kyrgyzstan on a roadtrip this year. The nature, the people absolutly wonderful. Later I buying my AT :-) and have now 6000km. Top bike, i love it. Thank you for sharing this video.
Rode this area in 2017 on my Africa Twin. It really is gorgeous and the people are amazing. Looking at the video is great, but going out there and riding your bike is the best!
This video is fascinating. And what makes it even more incredible, is that all the footage is made... by one man and a drone. Really, really good job you do. Thank you!
The landscape and scenery is incredible. I appreciate the effort you put in for us UA-cam people. The amount of times you had to stop and go and re take videos/pictures to shoot this must have been labour intensive. Keep up the awesome work!! You deserve way more subs!
Que buenos paisajes!!! Que ruta más divertida...!! Y coincido plenamente contigo cuando paraste en medio del camino a comer una galletas... La caída me pareció raro que te pase a ti... Vos sos muy buen conductor... Mil gracias por las imágenes..!!!
Thanks for sharing. Brilliant trip and great video as always. Great bike and you make riding that thing on those roads look so easy! Can’t wait for the next episode.
So sad to hear of his passing, the passion that we have in motorcycling, and the risks we face on the road, from inattentive drivers that could take our lives in a instant. RIP Christian
A client of mine once said :" You should never have trouble letting your bike drop, or picking it up after that. If You do, then it´s not an adventurebike!" People, travel light. It will bring so much more fun into the ride!
@@jeffdean7666 Anything lighter will be better for offroad purpose. From 790 to 701 to tenere 700 to even gs 850(with lower CG and lift points) etc. On the open road and long touring (that this bike was meant for) the others are worse of course.
Some thing not too heavy for you. Africa Twin it big, heavy bike, but for longe range adventure, its great. TW 200 is light, but not realy a long haul bike, due to it being too slow.
Thinking the same thing. The loaded bike weight and the rider need to be compatible. If you cannot pick it up easily 2 or 3 times probably best to stay on the bitumen.
Thank you, Mike. I really appreciate your toughts. This is Cristian, the guy in the video above. After five years with the DriveMag Riders, it's time for a new step. Two weeks ago we launched a new UA-cam channel, and we're not a part of the Riders anymore. I was browsing through the old comments and have to say that we really appreciate your feedback. And we're also inviting you to join our new UA-cam channel - Racing and Adventure.
Christian, you're one of the better moto journalists out there. (Bogdan isn't bad either.) Stunning central Asian scenery and locales. And when you drop your Africa Twin, it's just par for the course. Love these videos. Keep 'em coming!
Brings back memories of my trip to Kyrgyzstan over three years ago...only wish I was able to do it on an adventure bike. I was at the top of the switch backs to Song-Kul in your video but did not make it to Song-Kul...too much snow in April. For a small country, I was amazed by the views. I would recommend a visit to the Tash Rabat Caravanserai for anyone visiting the area. Cheers from the USA and thank you for sharing your journey.
What and absolute downer to hear of Christian's passing. Had only just discovered the channel and was really enjoying his style and the content of the motorcycles. Condolences to his family and the DriverMag team. As we say in New Zealand "Kia Kaha"
Great videography and great review of the bike. You have also made me fall in love with this part of the world. You should sponsor some bike tours to some of the places you go. I would so sign up for something like that. Thank you and great job!
Great Adventure, ride footage, overwatch footage - you are so the guy to show off bike and adventure! Also, whatever you ride on such adventures, I always come away from your presentations wanting whatever you were riding! Much thanks for all you and your team do!
Oh no, I didn't realize that Cristian has passed… I am so sorry to hear that. My condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. Rest in peace Cristian, I will miss you.
Ohhh.... what a journey... i'm dreaming about this and 've been waiting for this vlog a long time already. Good luck, keep going, keep doing this, keep inspirating 😎
If I could have one wish. I wish all the riders from all around the world would have the chance to visit this place once in their lifetime free for all. Spectacular!
What beautiful views :) I was literally telling myself "he's gonna drop it" when I saw you turning your head for the drone while negotiating the turn. Ah the flip side of solo travel. Good one.
Squatting down, keeping your back straight, and pushing upwards with two hands beneath the handlebar closest to the ground, while the engine is off, the bike is in gear, and the side-stand is out (if dropped on the right, like you did), will see you lifting it far easier and more safely for both the bike and yourself. Good to see you getting off the beaten path with the AT!
Great time to be riding in Arizona right now!! Aside from the virus situation. Great time to be in the hills "social distancing " in hrand fashion on my Africa Twin AS DCT.
Man this was amazing!!! I loved it. This is great adventure on an amazing machine and having the drone follow you and all the controls there on the tank bag is unreal. The drone footage is on another level. I love what you do and your content. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. P.s. My first reaction to the drop at at 3:50 was you so did that on purpose just to add the footage into the vid and talk about the cases :-) . I think you're too good a rider to do that. Had a couple of looks, I'm not so sure now but still going with on purpose LOL. Also... have you considered a centre stand :-)
Absolutely fantastic! I’ve been waiting for this video for months and it didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for the next episode. Love the drone footage and general videography. Thank you so much for this, it makes me want to go there. Better than anything on TV.
RIP Cristian. Huge loss to the motorcycle community. We will miss your positivity and your enthusiasm for all things motorcycle. You lived a short but a very privileged life. Ride in paradise my friend.
We have lost someone truly special in my opinion :( RiP
I am highly irritated. What happened to Cristian?
@@KarimKlausmann he had a fatal accident driving his motorbike in Romania
@@mariobianchi1909 Thanks for the answer 🙏🏻

Filming, riding, drone flying, editing all done by one man. This is film making of its own. Great hats off

How did he die?

Unbelievable.
One of the few who followed, for his enthusiasm and adventurous spirit.
Go in peace, my friend.

It's so sad that he's gone :(( I loved his movies.

My motherland, I had been living there for 33 years...visiting there you will find a lot of interesting.
Great UA-camr and by all accounts a nice guy to boot…rest in peace my friend and my condolences to all you have left behind ….🏴🏴
This is the best video that you have ever done. Inspiring stuff. Thanks mate
I said it before he died but once again : he made ones of the most beautiful videos of motorcycle travel. So sad today I learned about his death. RIP.
What can I say...it's spectacular - somewhere I'd never thought of going until seeing this, thanks!
a fantastic adventure with unbelievable pictures. Congrats and thanks for sharing

My 2 year son is biggest fan of yours, he is crazy and see this 2 videos almost thousand of times..

Any bike you take to an adventure is an adventurebike. He dropped it and picked up again and ride into the sunset living his dream!
based on the terrain he rode, the upcoming 390 adventure could easily do this trip and be picked up without straining.
RIP Cristian. Thank you for all your hard work!
Thanks a lot, Christian!! Incredible video as always!
It's great seeing Adventure rides on the other side of the world.... even more so on an Africa Twin! Thank you for sharing.
incredible views, and thanks for being able to see such beautiful places thanks to your motorcycle trips
Beautiful filming of an amazing place…. RIP my friend, I hope wherever you are the adventures are continuing….

Great work !!!! Great places !!!! Keep up the quality work you are doing !!!!
the drone footage at 10:10 is the best thing ever
Those roads and no barriers, awesome scenerey are the main reasons I love riding in Kyrgyzstan. I am glad that its only 200kms away from my home :))

I was literally telling myself "he's gonna drop it"
when I saw you turning your head for the drone while negotiating the turn.
Ah the flip side of solo travel. Good one.
What an adventure! It looks like you did it solo. That takes guts! Well done sir!
Good stuff my friend.
