- Had a great time scouting on the new BMW R1250GS and R1250GSA. We'll have them as long-term test machines for this season, and these are the first kilometers. We used them for finding new routes in Western Romania 🇷🇴 (Muntii Banatului: Resita-Anina-Valiug-Bozovici-Ravensca) and we had such a great time doing that.
Here's the film. Which one would you pick? The BMW R1250GS or the Adventure version. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Cristian Predoi, rest in peace my friend. I will miss your videos on youtube 🙏
what ?
I had recently wondered why I haven't seen any content from Cristian, this is the first I am learning of his passing. What a bummer, he was one of the most engaging motorcycle reviews in the world IMHO. RIP and GodSpeed brother.
The more I see Romania, the more I want to go there. Looks like a country with a lot of freedom.
Yeah, it's a top destination for adventure riding
A kind of no man s land. The heaven for enduro where you can ride everywhere.
But also the country with the most dangerous roads, road users and the most deaths on the road... Sadly even Cristian with so much experience riding the bikes all over the world had tragically died on these roads...😢
This hungarian area is an amazing place 😊
Loved the video. That's what motorcycling is about: adventure ! Congrats from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil !
"I don't want to be friends with you anymore".
A phrase I hear often!
You guys are awesome, love your content and take care guys. The adventure videos with bikes at the extreme end of the spectrum is a great idea and it will be interesting.
Thanks so much! Will do that.
Another wonderful video guys! . I do appreciate your riding skills after having completed an enduro course with my GS. Only fell 2times!! Slippery mud is difficult with these big bikes , however, on-road the gs is a great touring machine. You both earned a huge 🍺!! Look forward to your next video...
Nice to see the bikes being used for what they were intended. Well done guys!
Brilliant fellas . My wife and I enjoy your enthusiasm for motorcycles and your passion for Romania. Keep the blogs coming .
Thanks, will do!
Nice video. You are good on doing fancy and quality videos with your film crew but this type of content is pure and genuine. Reflecting real adventure life when you suffer but still enjoy it. More videos like this, please.
I can’t see $hit! Your English keeps improving hahahaha. Loved the video, what an adventure!
😬😬😬
Nice video guys, totally enjoy watching you do trips like this, keep them coming please! To be part of your adventures and see some of the beautiful Romanian country side is a lot of fun!
Thank you! Will do!
Brilliant guys. Love your style and content. Two big bikes, rain,mud and beautiful scenery. Just a perfect combination! So glad you guys do all the hard yards and we can enjoy the results. Hats of to you both for terrific videos. Respect from Australia you pair of larrikans!! Cannot wait for the next part. GSA is my next bike.
Thanks a ton! Congrats for the GS - it's a great machine. Hope to visit Australia soon!
You are very the best !
Thank you for your EXCELLENT videos
Brilliant video guys!!
These are my favourite kind of bike test videos. :) Extra thanks for taking the effort to speak in English, even between the two of you most of the time! :P
Amazing video.
This is really good stuff thank you.
Love those big GS’s. 🇨🇦
Hardcore BMW! Thanks for the video, nice job!
It's good to see you ride again !
Another great video, truly an adventure , I wish you could show us more footage. Don't care what bikes you use, because for sure I'll watch. Best motorcycle channel on YT, and here's what makes me believe that: Other channels make me think about looking at bikes, but your channel makes me go RIDE my bike. Fabulos, cele mai bun!
Hey brothers pls do more raw travel videos like this ,I'm loving it. This is beautiful.
Nice video 👍👍 coool as always, best regards to Romania and stay healthy 👍👍
Hello! I have a 2020 R1250GS, and live in Massachusetts, USA. My GF (who’s is from Romania!) and I enjoyed your ride videos from Romania. Very fun to watch. Made her homesick. :-)
I like your works. Thank you
U guys are unique in yt u make such cool videos taking bikes any where u want,
Well done guys. Great video.
“Racing and Adventure”.....well you guys surely found your adventure. Two brave souls taking on that track on that day.....BRAVO!!! Thanks for letting us tag along. Gorgeous country, big bikes in muddy tracks and a great sense of humor, what more can we ask of an awesome channel. Smaller Honda’s would be interesting, either way we’ll still watch and enjoy. Thanks Guys.👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
Thanks for the kind words. We'll get back with new stuff.
What you're doing it's not only great for motorcycling, but IT'S ALSO GREAT FOR ROMANIA! God bless you both!
Great stuff, amigo! 👍🏻
I like your videos, guys! Cheers from California.
Hope to see more videos like this thanks for sharing!
Will do!
Great video guys 👊🏻✊🏻🤟🏻
Romania in such a beautiful place, I probably never gonna be able to ride there but, thank you making this kind of videos.
Makes more inspired going out on an adventure here in my country/with my little scoot. 😅
Shout out from the Philippines. :)
Great video, looks like a fun adventure!
Thanks for watching!
Great video!! I would watch you two on any bikes, especially on rides like this, but I prefer to see the two GSs of course!!
Go on guys, very good video, congratulations!
Thanks a lot!
Fantastic video, such a beautiful country.
Great videos guys I was gonna get the triumph tiger 1200 desert edition but you guys have swayed me to the bmw 1250 gs🌴😎👍
Honda CRF300L and the Rally might've been more appropriate in those conditions! But that looked like the type of day that you're relieved is over but leaves great memories. More of this, good stuff.
Even just a bike with narrower 21/18 tires, and a bit less weight over the front, would be a lot more comforting.... Like the F850, A-twin , T7 or some KTM. The big GS is no doubt well engineered, but man what a beast for these kind of conditions. These guys are great riders/rhinowrestlers. I'd never get through there on those bikes, under those conditions, without breaking both me and the bikes. On an A-twin, I can at least delude myself that I could. Narrow 21s really do track a lot better than fat 19s in the loose and muddy. Of course a small dual sport would be almost infinitely better. But that would suck for the motorway stretch there and back in 4 celcius and darkness, where the BMW guys can just crank up their heated everything, radar cruise, stadium grade adaptive lights and more.
Brilliant video, great bikes. You look so tired at the end!
Do as many adventure routes as possible 👍👏🏻
Brilliant vid. I loved it. Real adventure.
People buy these bikes because they imagine they will do trips like this.
Most people never do.
It looked fun and also a battle in some places but that’s what makes it memorable and worth doing. Great country and huge explorable areas, which we don’t have in our over populated UK. Being less than 100 miles from Dover, whenever I want a proper biking adventure on my GSA I head for the ferry and leave the UK behind. Romania looks like somewhere I should explore - once we get this covid under control. 👍
That old mining town was pretty cool. You have interesting places to ride around there.👍🏾
Guys thank you for showing us a bit of your countryside!
Wondered where you’ve all been. Didn’t know you started a new channel. Glad to stumble across y’all again.
I do not own a bike but love the videos. You guys just do it honestly and the right way...wish I could afford one.
Thank you!
Don't understand why you guys complaint so much, it's look fun and perfect for the trip. Keep it coming
Cool video & a fun ride. Loved it. Would be fun to see a GS & Pan America on this terrain
Working on it.
Great Video Christian , lets see more of Romania on different bikes. We all know the GS will do these roads easy. Lets see a 500x Honda or a Versey 300 do some touring. You boys need a challenge. :)
You guys are awesome. Great bikes. You killed them. 😂😭
Love you guys, Always enjoy your videos! Greetings from your neighbours - Ukraine
Thanks for watching! Saying hi to Ukraine!
Hi guys, what a nice trip and greeting from Czech Republic! :-)
Great vid guys, definitely do one with tbe smaller bikes!
Coming soon!
Great video! Would love to see you guys do a comparison of the CRF300L Rally vs any/small displacement bikes (KTM 390 Adv, BMW 310GS, Royal Himalayan, Suzuki DR-Z 400, Kawasaki Versys 400)
RIP Cristian. I'll miss you and your videos
Yeah I had an R100 GS so I fully understand your comment about losing the front end in conditions like that. I was alone and it took me the best part of of an hour to get the bike up right.
Now, That Was An ADVENTURE!
It would be nice if you guys can do some more Trips around the Balkan and Europe, with some good Hotspots to checkout as a Biker :-) best regards from Serbia
we'll keep that in mind
I feel the cold when I saw Bogdanel’s face in the wrap up.👍
Thank you. Merci
good video thanks
Great video, again guys. Can you tell me exactly where is that abandoned place where are those buildings(I cant hear properly when you say the name of the place 🙄? 🤘😎
RIP my friend will miss your vids
Nicely made Christian
love you guys, keep it safe. hoping to meet you some time. only 1700km from belgium
I like you guys ... Keep going ...
The other bikes would be a fun episode as well! As for this two bikes, GSA all of the way. To me it’s just a better value
Very nice as usual. You have the right bike indeed 😉 but the wrong rear tyre for these conditions !
You're as good as ever, you made a great video again . I drove 1250 GS, great bike, simple to ride. I loved it but its price is very high. As for the choice of the next bike, Himalayan wouldn't be bad. Greetings from Italy.
Thanks. You have a slavic name, don't you? Serbian?
@@RacingandAdventure😁 I'm from Serbia and I live in Italy, Vicenza. If you come to Italy once, I would love to meet you. Here are mountains and beautiful landscapes, le. exceptional mountain roads
@@RacingandAdventure I'm following your channel from the beginning and I can say that you are excellent.
Hey guys,
I vote for the gs 1250 (This is mine 👍😂)
You have a so beautiful country !!! I discovered your country and your channel thanks to my romanian wife !
Drum bun din Franta !!!!
Great video guys and nice to see the GS v GSA. So which do you think is best for Europe road touring ???. Ride safe 👍🇬🇧
Hi guys. I like your video and the country in the central europe. Bikes are good too. Regards
Man i love gsa vids!
Please post GPX file, Love your rides and reviews.. keep them coming
Great video!! I wondered what kind of GS was in the offroad- thanks for answer 😄
I have one suggestion, for thinking-some international tour, Serbs and Romanians. We show you ours and you show us your land.😄
Thanks for the idea! I love Serbia and visited this country often. I was born and raised in Drobeta Turnu Severin. Cristian
And I love Romania, especially since you are Orthodox.🙂
I plan to pass Transalpine and Transfagarasan this year😉
Great video!
I vote for Honda CB 500X 😁 I would love to see it on action on similar roads 😁
Challenge accepted
I'd also like to see a big bike, but with 21/18s. In my (much more limited) experience, those narrower tires are much less treacherous in mud, even shod with the "same" tires (TKC80).
Hello, great adventure and video. What model drone you use?
Enjoyed your video. You had fun. 👍 Guess anything off tarmac is an adventure with a GS😜. What I cannot understand is why you wear super duper goretex jackets and still wear raincoats when it is raining? 😜
Yes, you should do more trips like this!
nice video guys. i would like if you took a KTM and a tracer for a tour in europe for test ride. best regards from greece.
I hope to go riding Romania in August.
great video you both make me laugh and you don't take things to seriously |||||||||
Nice trail, Here on PERU se have many similar trails.
What kind of navigation app You use? Best regards! :)
this is something for me you never know until you've tried it
Awesome video!!!! GSA for me :-)
Good choice!
Would love to see royal Enfield Himalayan on your channel
I hope they were test bikes 😳
First scratch on your own new bike is devastating 😢
P.s. really enjoyed this video. Well done.
They're made for this. 😄😄 I don't mind having a scratch on a GS. Usually, it feels more painful when it happens to my helmet.
What fun
Live life!
sadly he got killed in an accident 2 days ago :( RIP
I getting tried of BMW 1200/1250 gs videos, there are many good bikes out there.
Those bikes look heavy.
Best motorcycle adventure videos. Keep it up... dont let your english get too good...you guys should run tours.
I like BMW ,very nice disegn
This is your game,thks.
The community misses you….RIP….🙏🙏🙏
Hi! What happened to drivemag riders? Is this your new permanent channel?
salut, prieteni ! f tare experienta. thx 4 sharing ! se pot face astfel de trasee cu CB 500 X ? sunt un incepator pasionat de adventure si nu stiu care sa fie prima achizitie. CB 500 X, care imi place la nebunie cu arata, dar mi-e teama sa nu fie prea mica pt mine (87 KG, 1.82m), V-Strom 650 XT, sau altceva. ce sfat aveti pt mine, va rog ? multumesc
Salutare. La datele tale, pentru astfel de ture, mergi pe Tenere 700, BMW F850GS, etc. Cu roti cu spite, 21 pe fata, suspensii cu cursa mai lunga. CB500X e mai degraba stradala si cam mica. Ar mai fi CRF300Rally, daca vrei strict dual-sport. Discutia e mai lunga, optiunile sunt multe. Conteaza si bugetul. Am lansat recent un serviciu - www.motoadvisor.ro. Te asteptam acolo daca vrei sa te ajutam sa gasesti motocicleta perfecta pentrut tine.
That bike is really very reliable even in harsh terrain!
"thanks god it is not a heavy bike" 🤣
