What a bike she is!!! I truly enjoyed this R1200R. Like mentioned in the video I didn't really expect to ride this one... But Boooyyyy am I glad I did get the chance. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of riding literbikes on public roads I have to admit that the R1200R makes quite a lot of sense out there. I really dig those boxer engines. I love how this bike has massive amounts of power but still I never felt overwhelmed by it. I'd describe both its power output as well as the overall rideability as 'very manageable'. This machine offers quite the attractive compromise between long distance comfort and sportiness. You can ride this thing for the whole day and thanks to the rather relaxed seating position your body won't mind. And as soon as you feel like putting the hammer down the semi-active suspension, quickshifter PRO, and powerful brakes will easily let you do so. I can't say anything about it's actual ground clearance though. Like mentioned I stopped leaning further down as soon as the hero blobs scraped the tarmac. The day before I got into trouble for scraping the Multistrada's pegs and panniers and since I didn't want to risk more penalty payments I contained myself lean angle wise on the R1200 R. Up to the leans and speeds you see in the video the bike behaves very well mannered though. No nasty surprises. I'm fairly confident to say that it could take quite a bit more even without losing its shape too heavily.
Definitely try this one should you ever get the chance! And no, as you can see I was not smart enough to switch off the ABS. Is it possible to switch it off anyway?

DISCLAIMER: I totally manipulated the bike's ECU so the speedometer's pointer would show completely random values instead of my actual velocity. In reality I never exceeded 89 kph.
No music, no talking, just engine - love it!
awesome!
As always @schaaf_gopro_only you shows us how a bike should be ridden on mountain roads !
I totally agree ! Awesome video
thank you very much!!
Awesome Video, thank you for the English subtitles. Hard to belive that 90 year old designed boxster engine is still a great engine.
thank you for the comment!
Dude I wish I had 25% of your skills! This video is so so cool! You seriously know how to handle a big bike and make this look effortless and weightless.
Just hearing the engine and watching the roads was most enjoyable.
Awesome 👏🏻
Just be patient and take your time to practice without pressure :)
Close to made me buy one... Not only You, but experience i have with oldest R1150R and R1200R free riding. Not this year but - 2018 for sure I'l have it. And this road is on my list. Big thank you.
fantastic choice!
Do it, you wont regret it.
Great ride and great video! 😍 It's obviously a fantastic bike, and it seems to me that it fits perfectly with your riding and video-editing style, as it's nicely powerful, it sounds great, it's both stable and agile, etc. Even the too-sensitive ABS on the rear wheel contributes to the awesomeness of this video. It was really enjoyable to watch 👌
thank you very much my friend!!!
Because of you I have this bike as my second bike now... Keep up the good work mate... Love you're videos and you have mad skills... Hobe di ehre
awesome!! Congratulations!
Ich genieße jedes Video von dir du fährst einfach richtig schön flott :) könntest du bei so geliehenen moppeds grad einmal drum rum laufen das man die Maschine einmal sieht? dann könnte man sich noch etwas besser reinfühlen :) wäre toll :)
Danke vielmals! Ich werde versuchen, das in Zukunft mitzufilmen!
Wäre top :) weil die Maschine kannte ich jetzt nicht und musste erst googeln :D aber krankes Teil bin mega neidisch auf die blipper Funktion
Best r1200r vid. You can ride man, which cant be said of most bike journos! Thanks for showing us what it can do
thanks a lot man!!
I came from a cb500 to this bike and I absolutely love it. A great video that shows what it's capable of!
awesome!! Thanks!
The quickshifter seems rough from 1st to second gear, but she sounds great. I do wish the tachometer was analogue instead of the speedometer, this way seems kind of stupid.
yea agreed
Your opinion about the speedometer is quite popular. Nobody gets why they went with an analog speedometer. :)
@@Daskard You can change through the menu (I think it's style 2) and it will give you the digital speedo
the downshifting was amazing on this machine...I just bought a 2016 and I'm unsure about the downshifting in corners but it looks pretty darn good. Some say only downshift off throttle while others say either way. Great video. Your recordings are better than anybody elses
I've watched 100s of CZcams bike videos with some ass talking over the top, your videos are the best, a pure experience, I feel like I'm on the bike myself
good to hear, thanks man
can I ask you a little advice, I'm a new rider I've done 4000 miles on my versys 650 in my first year, is this bike too big a step up or should I think about an XSR 900 as an intermediate for my next bike?
I think the peg scraping is a good warning on this bike, plus it's good fun. Youve still got a bit to play with once the pegs go down, so no need to crap your pants. This bike is s lot more able than most people would havd you believe. Really nice bit of kit, it literally does everything, plus it has character.
yup
I love the cat overlay by the way, made me chuckle. :)
I have a 2016 BMW R1200R with all the options, and I wish that one day I can ride it like you can, simply amazing!
thanks man
Jaufenpass ist einer der besten Pässe die ich bis jetzt gefahren bin
ja, Hammer Stück Asphalt!
Quickshifter is absolutely incredible, it allows you to go faster and the engine works better, but sometimes i really miss the good old manual clutch.
true that!
A proper Shaaf ride. Love it.
beautiful day and nice to see you on so many bikes. Shame about the youtube compression of video in the shady spots.
yes it's quite painful to see :/ Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for that. ABS steps in because you use both levers at same time. So there is pressure from front brake lever and rear brake lever on rear brake caliper at same time. If you use only front brake lever, there is no problem of this kind.
Lol. I didn't use the rear brake at all. This bike has a combined braking system.
@@Schaaf i know that it is a combined braking system. On my R1200R i only experience same ABS behavior in case when i use both braking levers due to high pressure on rear caliper.
The scrapping sound is so satisfying
thanks
Oh man, my next bike needs to have a quick shifter.
That car pass at 5:18 had me pulling my elbows in.
no mercy for fatass SUVs lol
the stuff u said about the rear break.. i get it but once u ride it for long enough u really can use it and breaking hard into the front break, shifting down like a mad man and lean the bike.. u will get it sideways clean into the corner and can switch to aggressiv throttle and bring it sideways out of the corner without the systems really activating except for when there are bumps
Ok
It's a great all round bike , does everything u need it too at its ease
yup!
Hi Schaff, new subscriber here. I'll be picking up a 2020 r1250r this week. Watching your video gets me stoked. Your riding ventures on the irresponsible. You are my hero, lol!
those were the old days :) Congrats on the bike!
Now we are talking . I have ridden lots of bikes like you . this is ma favorite what a machine !! I will be one. One day I own a gs 1200 I live also . boxers on beamers are the best !!!!!!! Thank you ..... !!
You're welcome!
Fantastic video, you're fast. I had a Bmw that and I would have loved to drive it like that
Pretty awesome riding, once again :) I never knew, that these big GS's sounded this cool. Totally agree with the 'eargasm' term :D
thank you, Dani!!!
The Quickshifter is AWESOME! I want to try one of these!
it is!!
Great weather, great road, great bike. You must of been smiling alot behind the visor. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe.
By the way I like you're riding. You make good progress without taking too many risks plus you seem to ride within your capabilities. Good stuff sir.
thank you very much!!! I guess I was grinning already ;)
Wow, crazy to see a bike like this so nimble and speedy. Great Riding as always :)
thank you!!
All throughout the video I had this feeling the views were somewhat familiar, but couldn't put my finger on it. Until you reached the summit and saw the cabin. It confirmed my suspicion you were on the Jaufenpass.
I was there too late June going in the same direction, the year before I came across it the other way. Really nice bit of road that.
it really is!!
Nice riding and no the panniers will not touch in the corner. First to touch is the central stand and then the pegs. I've got the same and it's awesome and he loves the alps :-)
I ended up scraping those strange exhaust pipe cover plates in the front too - still such a great bike to ride!!
Awesome sound and riding, this bike is a beast, if you stand in front of it you think damn it´s a big bike, must be heavy and all, but once you ride it feels very agile and light.
yes absolutely!
Ich habe im September auch für 3 Tage Moppeds vom High Bike Testcenter ausgeliehen. Und trotz der Geschichte mit dem Bremshebel an der Multistrada, musst du schon zugeben, dass der Laden ein geiles Angebot für alle Motorradfahrer darstellt, Schaaf... ;)
das muss ich nicht zugeben, ich hab nie was anderes behauptet. Das Angebot ist alpenweit einzigartig:)
Great riding!!! I have the same bike with all options except keyless go. OK, so it is not the most powerful or best handling bike, but as an all round package it is pretty good. My brother has the same bike also.
yes indeed it's a great allrounder!
Nice choice of cats for obscuring the speedo. Hahaha cracks me up
thanks, you must be a connoisseur :D
Every time i watch you riding a boxer BMW i cry for not having one...but im close to one :)...maybe in 2 weeks i will get r1200r 2007...have you ridden the older model...and as always,amazing riding,amazing video,you are the best :) :)
unfortunately I haven't but I'm sure it is amazing too :)
Crazy Man. I have ridden a 1200R (not in this manner though) and i own a 2017 1200GS (and i have ridden it like Schaaf does in this vid) on the alpine roads in Oz. Both are amazing bikes with amazing engines & suspension. The electronic safety stuff does not come into play often (or is generally unnoticeable) because the bikes geometry & suspension is so good and also adapts on the fly.
The R & GS cost a lot of money but you get a lot for your money.
If i ever rode with you Schaaf, please wait at the top or bottom as i will be there some time after you get there :-)
indeed it is quite the experience to ride these. Both GS and R. Technology in perfection. Almost at least. And no worries, my quick riding days are over :)
Schaaf. 50 years of sports bikes and now riding a 1200GS and i too have slowed down. Ironically, the GS will go faster, easier & safer than any bike i have owned before. The GS seems to promote a more cruising along style (still quite fast though as it is so effortless). I am now 'enjoying the ride' whereas before it was all about going quick. I still have moments where i up the pace but no for long & not that often. Ride safe mate and keep the vids coming.
ps i am envious of the roads you ride on & the scenery.
This is kind of validating my wish for having an R model as a second bike next to my RT. The RT is brilliant but sometimes all of that wind protection can take away from the experience.
Nice video and I like the comments throughout your ride :). I was a bit worried in some overtakes that you did on turns. Take care!
Yes nowadays I ride much safer
2012 R1200R Classic here. fortunately for me no linked brakes. unfortunately for me not ESA, no quick shifter neither. I have Remus headers leading into a SC Pilot exhaust pipe. tuning done by a RapidBike module (similar to a PCV but much better) and dyno by Cycletune of Portland Oregon. my bike rips just as well if not better than yours did and is a HOOT to do so. nice video makes me want to go ride.
Thanks for sharing
excellent riding sir! love the boxer engine sound! hope you get that bike someday cuz you ride like hell with that thing! 😀
Nice video on a very different bike for you so it was interesting to hear your thoughts on it. Nice ride. As always Ride Safe.
you too!! Thanks!
Absolutely love your video. That R1200R is fantastic!
it is! Thanks!!
getting mine next week, great ride can't want to have my own fun
you're gonna love it!
Great video. Very nice sounding machine. You rode it as it was meant to be ridden.
thanks Michael
As usual a fantastic vid. I own one of those and LOVE it. I would love to ride it on that road! I don't feel any need to change the exhaust, it is the best sounding bike! What engine mode were you using? I usually use dynamic for quicker throttle response and dynamic suspension mode too. I enjoy your vids riding different bikes, Keep up the great riding and filming! Thanks!
both in dynamic! Yes I can see why you love it :)
Wenn die neue R 1250 R genauso gut fährt wird das eine richtig spaßige Sache und vielleicht mein erstes nagelneues Motorrad
Fährt sogar noch besser ;)
@@Schaaf bist du die 1250 R etwa auch schon gefahren?
Unsere Fahrstile sind ganricht sooo unterschiedlich 😂
Well, that was an E ticket ride, by golly. Thanks for that and all the info in the descriptions.
thanks for reading it!
Dude, love your channel but the way you were driving before, the bike you just hoped on and on the road you don't really remember, it's miracle you still have one kidney left! I'm just sorry you weren't able to see that before you found 'the tree'! Anyhow, glad to see you are completely back and not 'affraid' to talk about that and maybe you'll bring sense to some 'hot shot's' head in time. Ride on!
I knew what I was doing and I knew I was gambling high. Many people I know survive this style for all their riding lives, some don't. I was very lucky but I'd still do it that way if I could.
@@Schaaf Who said you couldn't do it anymore?
my head. I can't enter the state of mind which is necessary to do this kind of riding any longer
@@Schaaf It is called feeling of self perseverance! Be happy to have it because it's unbealivable how many people (in general, not bikers) don't! I wish you many more enjoyable curves and cool videos in this state of mind! Ride on bro! :-)
Fully enjoyed it , awesome indeed , love the style you ride the 1200R
thanks Keith!!
Ist da wer auf den BMW-Geschmack gekommen? ;-)
Schönes Video und klasse Bike! Bin es selbst erst vor kurzem gefahren und war begeistert vom Quickshifter - ist einfach mal was anderes :D
ach, auf den BMW Geschmack musste ich nicht kommen, wusste eig. schon lange, dass die geniale Motorräder bauen ;) Danke dir!!
That were some really nice riding skills! Keep up the great content! 😁
Thanks Jelle
Wieder ein richtig geiles Video mit allem was man(n) will, Infos zum Bike, Action, etc. SUPER! :)
MfG
vielen, lieben Dank!!! :)
thank you schaaf the wobble master for another great review! interesting how virtually the same engine (this one and one in gs) can be applied in a completely different ways. Did you get a chance to try the new RS model at the 'test centre' ?
unfortunately not! Thank YOU!
This is one of my fav rides Schaaf. The end part has me almost soiling my diapers. Great job! Great bike! Great area!
thanks Frank!
Your videos are just superb... Cheers from India!!!
thanks!
Great driving like always! I was there in passo Giovo in early August with car. Great pass, especially when you go down to San leonardo in Passiria! But for me, Timmelsjoch is way better! Cant wait for your another ride! Cheers
I filmed on Timmelsjoch too :) Thank you!
Great! I have great memories for Timmelsjoch, because my car was broken after our climb down from Timmelsjoch.:-) We must stay in St. Leonardo in Passiria and call for tow truck. Long story... ,but this place is beautiful, so different from Dolomites
One of my favourite bikes! What woud you think of this as the only bike in your garage with needs for sportyness, touring and everyday simplicity?
I wouldn't mind that at all!
Loved watching this video man!! The confidence, really amazing... How do you get it?! :D And what a sound the bike makes... Enjoy it!!!
9 years of experience and great capability of switching off my head. Thanks!
Excellent and I love this bike too. Just not a fan of the linked brakes as u say.
thanks man!!
Is that the standard exhaust on the bike and which mode are you riding in. Thanks
Wow, remarkable riding! Very quick and great cornering ! Damn!
Obviously someone has had a lot of track days.....
not a single one but thanks still
Schaaf well that's very impressive. My rear wheel slipped out this morning, almost low sided, but regained traction quickly enough. Stay safe, ride to arrive.
Great vid. I love the new wasserboxer "R", but I can't part with my K1200R.
thanks!! I can understand!
got this really amazing bike in my garage. It truly is more amazing that one would think it is.
nice riding.
J
thanks Jon!
I am fortunate enough to own one of these fantastic bikes, they certainly are very quick, and yet can be very docile and forgiving, it sounds like a contradiction but the only way to find out is to ride one.
true!
Danke for another perfectly horrible ride along, Schaaf! Hated every second of it! :D Very good exhaust sound for stock. That ABS tho. . That rear tire chirping screams "Too much rear brake!?" in my mind.
that retarded combined system indeed was a bit of a turnoff for me. But I still would never mind it too much I guess. On the road I wouldn't like to ride any harder anyway. Thanks a lot Curly mate
If you see this....love it! But never ridden a boxer myself, hows the handlebar vibrations??
The big twins sounds good with a nice exhaust and go well and been bmw the police dont bother you
yea
Bloody impressive riding as always Schaaf,you have bigger balls than me mate!😎😈
thanks a lot Nelly!!
if you remove and change those pegs, do you thing you can ride the twists better ? scraching the engine ?
you just need to remove the "feelers" underneath the pegs for more lean angle reserves but I don't know if its possible to scrape the cylinders left and right.
Whoopee!! I have so been waiting for you to ride this bike! Can you rank these in order of preference if you were riding mainly twisties with the odd bit of touring: R1200R, GS, Multistrada?
Also, have you thought about getting some merchandise made-up for your fan base to support your addiction/our entertainment requirements? You could always ask your fans to pre-order to check commitment and then print t-shirts or whatever once you know you have the volume to make a profit. (Maybe ask Adam LZ on CZcams for some tips I'm sure he'd give you some valuable insight on where to start, what to avoid etc...he's doing pretty well with his skateboard followers).
Looking forward to the next vid :)
thanks a lot Lee! I'm still working on my stickers, regarding any merchandise plans.
The R definitely was the best of all three for quick road riding. But still I'd take the GS or Multi for longer touring. The R has you seated quite comfortably but the other two have you seated quite a lot more comfortably actually :D But you're mentioning just a tiny bit of touring, eh? In this case I'd say it's R - Multistrada - GS
Thanks - good to know. :)
Youre skills are totally amazing, i dream of riding like this!!!)))
thanks
Was für eine Fahrt, echt krass 👍🏻👍🏻
Das Video ist ja schon 3 Jahre alt, könntest du das mit der 1250R noch einmal wiederholen? Die R1250R ist in meiner Wunschliste ganz oben.
Ja! War das gleiche Erlebnis, nur mit mehr Bumms oben raus ;)
great video! this road it looks so much like perfect one for supermoto, and you did rode this big bike there perfectly 👌 except the neutral troll 😂😂😂 In the slow part few bikes were very wide coming towards you. i was like guys 😨
the whole of Northern Italy seems to be made for supermotos actually :D Thanks mate!
Just breathless , its twice faster than GS in that kind of road and i guess the main reason is telelever .....the bike looks same fast as multistrada , one more time congrads !!!
thanks
Hi i hear you leaned til pegs touched did u use whole tyre serface on this when pegs was touching i love doing corners and this bike in mind but if lean angle is limited to big chicken strips this bike wont work for me
As always Schaaf, a pleasure to watch. I hope you didnt scrape those boxer engines themselves hehe :D
I wonder what you will be able to do with my bike :) I dont think you prefer sportbikes much but if you get a chance to ride, I am very curious to see the result!
hahaha luckily the R's cylinders are placed slightly higher than the one from the GS for example :D I absolutely love sportbikes by the way I just never get to ride them :)
This video sounds amazing
thanks Matteo!
is it just me or is this the only good video of how the bike sounds...every other exhaust video is not even close to this one
great vid and nice riding ;)
thank you very much, Rok! Unfortunately good RAWs are very rare on CZcams indeed :(
Schaaf yes, you got nice mic for the exhaust, im surprised how good your bike sounds.... on youtube everything sounds worse from the real thing. your honda sounds awesome btw, i found you today and i subbed... awesome riding with awesome sound and video effects. have fun on the road man! ;)
Super Video. Top BMW und eine schöne Strasse. Boxer sind eh klasse ;)
Einige der Manöver waren aber schon eher kritisch. Vor allem wenn dann plötzlich z.B. ein Auto auch schnell ums Eck kommt. Musste diese Saison auch einigen Bikern im letzten Moment ausweichen obwohl ich klar auf meiner Seite war. Ihr Helm (und teils das ganze Bike) war es ebenfalls. Nur nicht übertreiben ;)
ja, Südtirol im August ist immer etwas hektisch. Für mich waren gefühlt aber keine kritischen Manöver dabei :)
Excellent bike, excellent vid!
thanks man
ich sag nur wow, klasse Video und power drive :) , meine ist am Freitag angekommen, jetzt nur noch ein paar Kleinigkeiten anbringen und dann wird sie zugelassen, danke für das schöne Video
Glückwunsch zu so einem grandiosen Motorrad! Danke dir!
That is some crazy driving lol
, love it !
Yes it was!
As usual Great driving and great bike ;)
thanks a lot :)
Damn, what a ride! :D Proper Schaaf stuff !
thank you!!
Awesome video as always mate
thanks a lot mate!!
Great videos man, would you say this is much better than the speed triple - would it keep up with a speed triple on these roads ? Sorry to ask I’m just trying to decide between these two right now
Yes, definitely
Awesome skills as always! I wanna see you murder some roads on a duke390 or mt03, to see how they compare to the cb500, and so I can see how I do on the small bikes compared to you.
yes that would be interesting indeed. I recently rode and filmed a 125 Duke though :D
how was the 125 duke? Some people spoke me badly about it
like every two wheeler I've been on: a whole lot of fun :)
Thougt of this road beeing Jaufenpass and yes it is. One of my favorite! I will upload mine, riding a VFR750. 👍
awesome!
i can't agree more with your description !
nice!! Thanks!
Schaaf i just get her for one and a half week, i was amazed by the "smooth power". I found the front suspension a bit heavy at slower speeds (in city traffic) but held her trajectory like a train on rails whe you speed up. The tank was big enough to go on a pretty long "balade" without thinking about a gas station half of the time. RunBike4Life tested it too and was also amazed by her smooth power and stability
Damn, impressive looking bike and damn did it sound great!
sure does!!
when you said multistrada, do you refer the ducati multistrada ? if u did, wich one do you prefer ? multi or r1200r ?
nice video mate.
thanks mate. The Multi Enduro and this R1200R are two different bike concepts. Not fair to compare. Both were amazing fun on the road
I've got the MultiS and have spent a fair bit of time on the Multi Enduro. Both great bikes... choice would depend on what you want to do, and how big you are. If you're tall (say over 6'2" or so) you'll find the added living space of the Enduro very nice. If you have the money and skill to ride a big bike offroad then the Enduro is a great choice (the GSA would also be a good choice). If you're primarly a tarmac rider with some dirt roads for fun on the side... the Multi or MultiS are good choices. If you want something that can do tarmac and dirt with great competence but maybe isn't as big (as the multi) on high HP shenanigans and extreme canyon carving then you can't go wrong with the R1200... lots of great options out there these days.
awesome ride mate...so scary for me to watch, but i have to admit that you felt always in control and (very important from my point of view...) always on your line
time to change my Rockster? mhhh....
cheers from Friaul
nooo with that Rockster you have something much more unique :)
ahhhhh you already had my subscription, but with this comment you will also have a big beer as soon as we'll meet on a Dolomite pass :)
:D
Excellent!! Where were you riding? What a beautiful road to ride on!
Servus Schaaf.
Würdest du die F900r oder R1200r empfehlen?
Ab und an mal längere Touren fahren.
Linked back to this one from one of your more recent videos. had watched 50% of this one before. You say not much experience on a big bike, it does not show. You have obviously learned how to ride very well on the CB500. . maybe you should have started racing at an early age and released the natural talent 👍
haha not at all, thanks though
From what I see it looks like a motorcycle that I could enjoy. Big torquey engine and approachable limits.
The price is steep though, this is worth more than two of my bike when it was new hahaha.
totally understandable :D The question is if there are any alternatives offering the same kind of performance paired with this excellent build quality.
Well I didn't test ride it myself but I heard very good feedback for the Triumph Speed Triple. You probably wouldn't go wrong with either of these.
been on the Speed Triple R for a very short spin. To me it felt a whole lot sportier than this R. Lot firmer suspension for sure.
When i want to evaluate how a particular bike does on the twisties , i come look at Schaaf's channel ; but then again he scarps the pegs out of every bike he rides :) even adventure bikes :) lol - IN any case i am considering a 2016 R1200R and i was wondering if someone my size 1, i am 190cm may be a bit cramped by the low seat / peg position triangle .
no my riding style has changed a lot. I'm 184cm and feel great on the R
