BMW R18: The largest capacity motorcycle i have ever rode. Initial short term review and thoughts
Thank you.
No worries John.
Didnt know l needed one.. But now l do😅
Now that does make life easier! Cheers Billy! 👍
No worries, im sure loads of people know about these little valves, but for those who dont, they could come in handy.
Nice work Billy👍
Cheers 👍
How is it for the summer, does it get really warm and sweaty wearing the shoes?
Yeah a little, there’s no ventilation on the boots at all.
Getting on mines tonight bought grit and metal.polosher, you think i still need to replace seal afterwards or give it a clean with sealmate will get it done, ive cleaned many times but as long as theres scratches gona keep leaking rights? so im wondering if its to late and need to replace the seal
It wont hurt to try and clean the seal out with a seal mate, Im pretty sure you can even make your own out off plastic milk cartons, if you don’t already have one.
Lastly I'm I basically passing grit until it is completely smooth before applying thr metal polish?
Hi. I’ve tried a few of this style boot and I’m finding them too narrow for my slightly wide feet, would you say your feet are Slightly wide or normal? Thanks
I would say mine are slightly wider than normal. Might be worth ordering from a place like sports bike shop, they have a really good returns policy. In case they don’t fit.
How long does it last and can it handle a pickup truck? Thanks!
A good few years id imagine, mine looks as good as new, and im riding over it twice a day. I don’t see any issues with a pickup truck going over it, its not bike specific or anything.
Thank you! My floor is 2.5” low on one end to nothing at other end.
£90 quid out your pocket to save getting points. They are getting imaginative with these areas extended unmarked long lengths ..slippery
As a cruiser rider I laughed my ass off. Love your energy.
Haha, thanks dude.
Ive ordered the damping mount and stem/ handle bar bolt mount, it doesnt fit. Bolt is wrong size, so far quadlock have been helpful, responded very quickly. But thats my fault for ordering the wrong product. The case for my phone is too small, so that will be going back. Ive found they do a wireless charger that doesnt need usb connections, looks like can be wired into a switched live or thunder box etc
Hello brother, may I ask where I can buy the accessory you are using
I hope you can reply to me
I wouldn’t know, would be best to ask Lucas directly
Cheers. Just drying now after a damp weekend
Hopefully it will work. 🤞
Great informative video, cheers.
No worries, cheers.
Nice review, but if have to replace the clutch (you have to split the bike in half) or drive shaft or abs sensor, youll find its quite expensive…
Has been looking for some summer boots. Perfect this. Thanks for sharing mate.
Yea no worries 👍
Quite frankly Alpinestars should send you a new pair for that review.!
If they did i would do a giveaway, the way my mine are going it could be another decade before i need another pair
I have the same in tan, had them for 3 years, brilliant boots. I wear mine all the time too, scratching around or touring. I use walking gaiters with mine if it rains, helps when your waterproof over trousers ride up.
I like the gaiters idea… might steal that.
Nice job Billy, what are they like for weight? I have Richa Ankle boots but they’re a bit clumpy
There no flip flops, lets just say they are reassuringly weighty.
They look about 2 months old, not much wear and tear. Drill a few holes if you want ventilation 😂
I might completely remove the toe area and turn them into sandals.
The GS1200 liquid / air cooled you ride only started being built from 2013 so the earlier recalls don't apply
This isn’t just about my bike, its a more general overview
My first deck!!
Me too, Had a lance Mountain first off.
I've just ordered some of these and will be wearing sealskinz waterproof socks that ride high so we'll see how that combo works
Nice, im actually gonna do a year of ownership review coming up soon.
This should never happen, why do BMW think they can use their customers for testing when they have the facilities to actually test the bikes themselves but they rush them to market expect customers to pay over the odds and then they are expected to report all the faults BMW should have detected during testing. The new 1300 is just as bad.
That’s a fair point. I guess some of these faults, especially the shaft drive issue only become noticeable after years of riding combined with the slow ingress of water.
As I am thinking to buy this type of machine I found your vids very helpful and honest. Just to be picky about the sound, maybe try to place the microphone on your neck or take off your jacket as we can ear rubs when you move on your seat. Thank you Billy.
They have become impossible to find......they worked too good.
Brilliant bike.
Yep, i must admit, it’s pretty bloody good.
I have the original 55" stainless version of this when it was spec'd with 2 full width bottom drawers (which you can no longer get hold of). I use it in a HGV main dealers. It really isn't upto the task, welds have broken and it sags, trapping the the lower drawer. In a home garage setup it would be fine. They're just not built that strong for what they are. I also gave the SGS service cart, which was half the price and soo much better quality. Bit odd really.
Looks wicked
Cool , thank you✌
No worries Jim.

YES! email your address or dm my instagram
Mine went in for the shaft drive a month ago , they ended up replacing the shaft plus the complete final gear drive As there was a problem with it , bonus 😁👍 can’t fault bmw motorad 🎉
T Tech suspension are the bollox he did both mine, rides like a dream now best upgrade I’ve had. Better then OEM
Yeah he’s great, gonna get my front one serviced soon.
I popped my 2015 R1200 RT into my local dealer to have the footrest circlips Recall done and was told my bike was also due the shaft drive plug mod and the gearbox tune download
Quality public service broadcasting
Boring as hell to watch though… 😂😂🥱🥱
@@billy4rocks apologies, I meant the previous comment for a BBC upload 😄
Tnx for sharing this list, my word… got the fork heads and the check on the drive shaft on my R1200GS 2017
No problem. Cheers. 🙏
Look really good mate. But you forgot to show us how they fix to the bike 😂😂😂
Good point ,its a piece of cake though two straps around the crash bars. Done
Great honest review 👍🏻
Cheers 🙏
I'm looking at a 2017 1200 explorer XRX. Can't wait
Niiiice. You’ll love it.
Question Billy, Do you think there's a downside to buying a 1200 over a 1250? Pluses and minuses
My freind recently bought a 2021 1250gs, and apart from the rather lovely tft dash, there is not much in it in terms of performance that is blatantly obvious.
@@billy4rocks gotcha. Thanks for the reply... keep the wheels down and the paint side up 😃 😊 😀
Thanks Billy mine has yet to arrive ✌ Do I need to register with a dealer to get a letter or is it via DVLA .
I imagine it’s from the dealer, there is a bmw website where you can enter in your details and get it checked out…. www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/service/recall-lookup.html
@@billy4rocks thanks billy 👍
Super nice, Sir.
Billy Im glad you do these videos. Ive been a triumph tiger 1200 lover for some time now. But watching your GS videos have made me make the decision too buy a GS instead. Mainly because of the ease of maintenance. I really dont care whether is a 1200 or 1250.
No problem, I enjoy doing them and even if one person benefits then I’m happy. Your gonna love the bike, congrats.
@@billy4rocks thanks 😊
Nice one! You saved me the head ache of removing the airbox. Replaced the shock today with a used one. Thank you sir. 😎 My rear went a while agon, replaced with used one there too... bit easier. Might have a look at T-Tech.
I highly recommend him, will be sending my rear shock off to him soon.
nooooo not another GS :/
Brilliant video Billy, great tips :)
Lol😂😂😂😂 good one Billy
I am nothing if not classy. 😎
@@billy4rocks touchè 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Muck off honestly is trash ive just bought 5litres of sdoc and its better by far in my experience also buy 5 litres for £55 and you have what you need
This or Harpic and Autosol afterwards
I would say harpic does a deeper clean but its nasty stuff and you have to thoroughly rinse the area down afterwards. So deep clean go harpic, your once a month bike wash go Dr Downpipe.
Great advice 👍
Hey Billy! Thanks for reviewing us in your video! Great to see our tire repair out in the wild working well for fellow riders.
No worries, its got me out of trouble many time. Cheers.
