I tested that very bike from Ocean the day before you in the heaving rain. I loved it.
@@angof if it fits it a lovely bike...thanks for watching
Great review. I have it in black with gold spoke wheels and it looks great, comfortable and adequate power, agile and smooth and easy to move around. After quite a number of bikes, mostly BMWs I like it and can ride it for hours!
@@geoffreyhyman4238 thanks for watching
Tiny seat? I think Lofty is a giant.
@sunstar777 Yes, I'm a big lad and the seet is fine....it's a tiny big bike 😉😁😆 thanks for watching
@@theloftybiker3090 love the video mate…. Keep up the good work! Love from Sydney, Australia.
@@sunstar777 nothing much to ride till after the shows....you'll have to make do with my holiday vids 😂
Nice bike. I currently have a GS but when it's due for replacement I'll be handing it back as the new GS/GSA look awful. I am keen to see the R12 Scrambler as that could keep me on the BMW PCP bandwagon! I'm curious to see what changes BMW make to the GS front end when they refresh the model at the end of the year. Thanks for the review. 👍
@@TheDervMan I believe the R12 Srambler will be tall...long travel suspension similar to the big Triumph scramber....thanks for watching
i like tou see a U turn on the bmw on a road 18 feet
Good, clean review 🙌🏾🙌🏾
How was the gas mileage?
How would you compare it to a Harley 1200 cc bike, like the Harley 48?
Thx.
@@GreenComotion-ei6zw these engines have been around since 2008, more or less unchanged. Between 40/60 mp uk g depending on your right hand.....sorry I don't get to ride HD's......thanks for watching
Bet I will be valeting that one soon
@@stevecommon4227 you certainly will...this dirty little bike is minging and need detailing asap 😉
@theloftybiker3090 will probably be doing it next week then
It has a low seat height. How does the suspension feel to compare with other motorcycles with low seat height?
@@timohansson3674 suspension is relative to the roads you intend on riding...this isn't a budget bike....thanks for watching
sorry, but this bike is not tiny, that is you huge :) No offence. I'm normal, 5 foot 10, it's perfect for me.
@@MegaGecas it's a lovely bike go get one....thanks for watching
@@theloftybiker3090 thanks, I will. Lovely chanel you've got here. Best of luck. Cheers!
Does it have a lipstick holder ? If so then you’re right 😂😂😂
@@andrewdyson4255 only time will tell....thanks for watching
Enjoyed this Lofty. Size wise it would be great for me I'm sure. You made it look like a monkey bike haha.
@@Dave45d it's one of those bike that rides better than the stats....yes it's a tad small for me lol...thanks for watching
I do enjoy your reviews but, and there is a but…..your unusual size (Giant) does taint your opinions on bikes. You just won’t fit the majority of them and must find them awkward, in the same way as I (regular humanoid) would find riding a child’s bmx.
@@jfro5867 kids are getting bigger..lol the average 20 year old is 5' 10" , 3" taller than 20 years ago...so how regular are you? 😅😆😅🤣 yes I know it's a challenge being so tall, I do my best to relate the bike to its intended customer....this bike the R12 is for 5' 2" females IMHO and my next review is for the smaller rider too..the RE 450 Geurrilla......most of all thanks for watching 🥰
@@theloftybiker3090 no worries and I know you try to do a very good job of describing them for us, I’m 55 so very much the old fashioned size of 5’11”
Gotta admit, it’s a refreshing change for me. At 6’4” I feel the same as you when I listen to 5’8” UA-camrs say things like “plenty of leg room” and “I can comfortably flat foot it” before going on to say how a shorter version is available or a short seat is available.
Basically, almost all bikes inc their seat to peg ratios are made for people who are 5’8” or shorter and most of them are not easily or affordably customisable for taller riders.
@CHuzz7777 Yes, this is a little bike made for, the smaller legged person...the GSA is a proper bike 😇
