After going through a midlife crisis, BMW’s flagship adventure tourer is back with a facelift, a six-pack, less flab (-26 lbs!), more power and more techno mumbo-jumbo than ever. But is it enough?
Thanks to our friends at Cycle BC for loaning us their bike. Apologies for all the sand. cyclebc.ca

“A bike trying to go and dying because its rider was busy paying for it”……man….this guy is a bike riding prophet….that’s some deep sh!t right there….
Bro FR!
That shit gave me goosebumps 🥶🥶
exactly why I bought mine full cash after saving for 5 months. 16 years since it still zooms. well it's Japanese
This is what i watch f9 for
Don't waste money... Buy it used 😅 if it's still working😂😂😂
These are the classic f9 videos weve been waiting for.
Don't have any "padding" in them?
@@Matt-vo1ge I believe it calls to the extent of narrative components that we kind of missed with the reviews for bikes like the ZX4RR's, where it was very technical, maybe a couple jokes, but overall a very clinical type of video.
Thought you were waiting for your dad to come back with the milk?
@@257796 Are you 9 yrs old or the grand age of 10 yrs old?
@@zphayde yeah, the fact that zx4rr didnt get cinematic masterpiecie from F9 will be on of the biggest loses for us, audience. This bike just screams for one
I used to think Camissa was the best automotive journalist alive. I dont even care about motorbikes. I keep coming back for the superb writing and storytelling about design. Congratulations Fortnine crew, youre among the best in the world, if not the best.
I love Cammisa& Ryan
To me, he is like Jeremy Clarkson for motorcycle world.
Yes, I too loved the conclusion of the video. If you have plenty of money to buy an expensive bike like the 1300GS, God bless you and go have fun! But I remember when doing a short touring ride through the hills of Nevada and stopped at a small shopping center for travelers. I had my relatively inexpensive DR650 that was well modded out for adventure riding. There was another rider with his slightly banged up, cheap-looking, small Suzuki cruiser with a rack and duffle bags bungee corded all together. Young guy probably in his 20's. We chatted. He was having such a blast on his trip. Smiling and just full of excitement. I'll never forget that.
The problem with expensive shit is that it will start owning you rather than have you own it. There’s a lot to be said for owning a dr650 and a leatherman over a GS and an iPhone
True, but that's basically the same argument people use against all expensive bikes and cars. You can arguably have almost as much fun with a far less expensive bike as you would with the BMW R series GS, but that doesn't take away that it remains pretty much the Master Class bike. And if really you have the money to spend on these bikes without having to mortgage the home or something like that, I doubt you'll care too much about dropping or even crashing it.
Can I pick it up without breaking sweat? Can I fix it with the tools the bike came with? Can I afford it without getting into debt? Three rules for travelling by motorcycle.
@@tjroelsma The point isn’t that fun can also be had elsewhere, rather that there’s a big difference between being able to afford one of these bikes and being able to afford having to completely rebuild one if you crash it somewhere in the boonies. If you can’t afford the latter, it’s much more sensible to own something raggedy, simple and cheap because it’s only a marginally worse experience while actually being able to experience it.
@@borderlands6606 DO any motorcycles come with tools anymore?
Best thing in the Video is the typo from the BMW Assist voice. "How many I help you?" Even funnier is that the typo carried over to the german AI Voice "Wie vielen helfe ich Ihnen?"
Ist mir auch aufgefallen
Scheise
Lol
I also like that Ryan is rocking the fashion leitmotif of the stereotypical RXXXXGS rider -- all his outfit is missing is the BMW branding. Yeah, I'm a BMW GS hater ;-)
What is the meaning
Can’t wait to buy one used in 15 years!
That's if there are any still on the road by then.. new bikes have become disposable
make sure you count how many recall will be in 15 years, you don't wanna take one poorly serviced.
If you do, you won't be using a BMW service manual to fix the thing. And you'll be spending a small fortune replacing the failed sensors/switches/computers/servos that can only be purchased from a dealer.
@@bobdobbs3360Is that you, Hoovie?
@@bobdobbs3360 Sadly, the cost of the repair parts have been an issue for a long time. About 20 years ago, my cousin essentially gave his late 70's R 65 to the dealer when he found that the cost to replace the broken switch gear was more than the running motorcycle was worth.
In Germany, where you see a lot of GSs, you notice one thing: This bike is under utilized. Most people that can afford the GS are way retired or almost retiring - their reflexes are not as good anymore, they aren‘t as in shape and have their stiff necks or shot knees. They can‘t use the GS off-road because it‘s to heavy, they can‘t fling it round the Alps because they can‘t turn their head far enough for the switchbacks and so on.
Nothing the bike offers really gets used so it‘s mostly a rolling sign of a midlife crisis.
The best bike out there, I agree, but also the most under utilized.
I just checked and in 2017 the average Age of a BMW owner was 46 years (down from previous 50 years)
The reason you see that is because even a modest GS will set you back $25,000 - Vey few people in there 20's can afford that. Go for the GSA and add panniers and you're at $30,000. Now add another $1500 in ridding gear. The group with more testosterone than money buys race bikes. By the time you can comfortably afford and appreciate what a GS is all about you're older and wiser and have more financial resources and slower reflexes LOL. A GS would not have appealed to me in my 20's and 30's. All that said, I'm the guys who's had 5 race bikes, had 2 stroke dirt bikes did the track on both. Now that I'm on the GS. I can make that bike an ABSOLUTE WEAPON! I've had total strangers come up to me and tell me holy crap you can ride your @$$ off on that monster of a bike. The bike is phenomenal just cruising around... I'm having more fun and appreciate the GS more than my race bikes...
I had a GSA, am 41 and can more than afford the 1300, but after my GSA experience for 3 years, i fully refuse to buy one for various reasons.
I got a GSA @ 30
Got my GS at 27
The other problem is the cost of breaking something, you are going to adventure with a motorbike that is quite expensive.🫰
So glad Anish is back - you can see it immediately in the videography, absolute art.
Absolutely right
This video told a lot of truth at the end.
My Dad loves motorcycling and bougth a GS because its ``the best bike of course``. He only went to 3 trips in 4 years of owning it. Scared that if he dropped it he wouldnt have the money to rapair it.
So sad. Should sell it and get a 90s cb500. Or maybe a Honda nc 700. Anything cheap. Some French magazine rode that over 200 000km. Some German dude( interview by Austrias 1000ps) rode one through the Sahara.
@@gur262he did enventualy sell it to help pay for my college. I hope i can buy him a new one once i get older, returning the favor.
@@samuelboldt232 doesn't need much. Though a good point for newer bikes between 50-90 ish hp for 3-6 k used rather than something 90s for 1.5 -3 is the fuel consumption. Something like 4.1-5 l rather than 5-6.5
he probably insures his car - so why not insure his bike?
To be fair, that's a bit of a boomer thing, they buy a lot of toys they don't use or need because they're swimming in cash from unprecedented strong economic times
I really resonate with the conclusion of this video.
I ride a 2007 Fz6 that i bought in early 2023 for €2700 with 12.000km on it. The previous owners rode less than 800km per year.
In the following 17 months i have ridden it 30.000km, through all weather, and been to 11 different countries and 4 different mountain ranges with it. It has never let me down.
In that time it has had a valve service, a chain and sprocket, 3 new tires, 6 oil changes, installed a used set of hard cases, a topcase and heated grips. As well as about 1500 liter of expensive European petrol. All combined it cost me probably 2.5x the purchase price of the bike in less than 2 years of riding it.
I have the money to buy the ideal bike and not go on many trips, or to buy a not so ideal bike and go on many trips.
I rather spend my money on the older bike which is not ideal and make the trips, than have the ideal bike which just sits at home while i work.
👌👌👌
Same same. I'm dreaming about changing bikes often, but every time I go back to the same thought: "new bike wouldn't change how much time I have for riding". Because by buying a different bike we often really dream not of a different bike, but of a different life that their marketing teams are telling us we will have.
You just said what I am thinking. I want to enjoy the rides, afford the bike and maintenance.
I on the other hand don't have the time to put in 30k a year. If I get in 3k, I've done very well for that year. If I'm gonna be limited so much, I may as well go whole hog and enjoy the big fat bike the few times I do get out.
I get what you're saying though. No point spending so much if it limits what you can do. In my case, I'm already limited by time anyway, so that's not a problem. lol
@@Gofr5people can always find ways to justify anything.
3:40 The glowing exhaust headers look really cool in this shot.
I finally figured it out! It's an advanced stage firefighter maternity suit. Looks like it has a delivery pocket so mom can keep working after the child drops. You Canadians are a tough breed!
I was thinking a Minion/Teletubbie hybrid. I can't think of any neighborhood I've ever lived in that wearing that wouldn't get you beat up.
8:15 - SOS rider outside starbucks service area😂
Dude that ended me. Lol
it must have been in northwestern Greenland!
I wonder if it has the same technology installed (but not activated) like cars that have the SOS button.
They have the ability to geo fence you to an area and to limit your driving time allowance.
hahahah and the missile launch
SOS has a new meaning now- Stuck Outside Starbucks
Closest we've gotten to an old school TopGear episode right here...
Not talking smack but Ryan took a lot of inspiration from old clarkson. He’s totally developed his character far beyond that now, but watch an older video from the channel and you’ll see him speaking with the same cadence, using the same gesticulation, and basically copying many of the jokes. I only am so sure because I watched every single episode of top gear so many times it’s not healthy.
The days when Top Gear was about reviews and opinions of semi affordable machinery instead of scripted "challenges" and millionaires play toys...
Hammond, May, and F9 could have a Top Sprocket. I'd pay per episode for that shit.
I wonder when we'll stop calling every automotive CZcamsr the "new" Top Gear
yove should seen the royal enfield one hahahaha
I have an '09 R1200GS and I really struggle with the newer technology. Not in the sense that I don't' understand it, more in the sense that it's taking me further away from the ride. I don't WANT my motorcycle to do everything for me, I like to be challenged. I'd like to think my skill makes the difference but I know in many ways, the motorcycle has more to do with my enjoyment by making up for my lack of certain skills. But at least with my 09, I know I am still in charge. I dictate when and where I take he risks and don't rely on the moto to get me out of trouble.
My 09 GS has been, and continues to be the best motorcycle I've ever owned. It's hard to give it up and after watching a video like this, it just reinforces that my 09 GS still has a long time left in my possession. At some point the repairs and maintenance will out pace it's value. But that day is not today. Not today.
These planes you've been testing, Captain, one day, sooner or later, they won't need pilots at all. Pilots that need to sleep, eat, take a piss. Pilots that disobey orders. All you did was buy some time for those men out there. The future is coming, and you're not in it.
[...] The end is inevitable, Maverick. Your kind is headed for extinction.
Maverick : Maybe so, sir. But not today. 😉
Bro. That ending monologue was deep!
So I’ll keep my vstrom and work less and be happy. Got It, thank you!
I don't want a tool that does what I didn't ask it to do, I want one that does what I tell it to do, even if it's stupid.
Amen! This is my attitude towards all new cars too. The driver should be in complete command of all systems. I want to choose when the lights dim, the wipers wipe, and when the engine starts or stops. All the gadgetry is just more opportunity for failure.
Get a T7! Throw it into a rainy corner, open your wrist, and meet God. ~RF9
@@FortNine- yup.... do it but only if u r Darwin theory case. If u not familiar... just keep doing 😂
I generally find that warnings and defaults are valid, and for a majority of people often useful, but there should almost always be an option to bypass it if I want to. The ABS video comes to mind. My bike has ABS, which is fine since I don't ride it off road, but it also has stoppy prevention. While that is arguably a good thing for a beginner slamming the brakes, it does reduce my stopping power, which is a bit annoying, and I can't disable it without disabling ABS entirely by pulling a fuse.
you have a KLR i take it?
One of the best video ending ever.
Yeah, that kind of hit home.
Might I ask what what so significant of that ending scene? Thanks
The bike slowly burning in the background while owner working to pay off the bike.
@@wildboby1see below, or watch from1000
@@kevingilbaugh6278 Also the reason why the bike is catching fire is more significant. It is trying to turn itself ON so it can go on adventure, but it's Owner do not time for it. It is funny, sad and true at the same time.
I don’t ride, but I still think these videos are great. Every hobby deserves a channel as good as FortNine.
Riding is not a hobby it’s a passion.
I feel smarter in my brain
3:41 glowing pipe has such a nice color...
Nice catch
i was just wondering if it was glowing or edited
@@ValentinKiryazov That's the real deal - dune riding is hot work, even at night. ~RF9
@@FortNine Wow. I thought that was edited in.
Something to keep in mind riding in the weeds, dry weeds.
"Rider outside of Starbucks zone. Press 1 to eliminate, Press 2 to talk."
*chefs kiss*
What a nice bit of producing and editing at around 3:45, speaking of symmetry of the bike and showing a shot of the city lights reflected in the water.
Looks that way, but the editor actually split the screen, mirroring the upper part by flipping it so it's upside down and copying it into the lower half of the picture. Either way, nice effect.
Ryan - you should have put the GS on a scale. The 1300 GS comes in 30 kg! over the stated 237 kg wet)- this is with the typical extra packages installed (ready to ride). Despite the good design BMW dropped the ball on the weight target. A Swiss review channel put the the Big 3 adventure bikes on a scale (ready to ride) - BMW R1300GS 267 kg, Ducati V4S 257 kg and KTM 1290SAS 247 kg
Exactly. I never believed in the manufacturers' declared weight. Nowadays, you'll not find a big adventure bike (with like 1000+cc) which is at least 240-250kgs in weight. V Strom DE is at 250 kg. And I'm ok with that weight. But I'm not okay when people start to compare motorcycles just by brochure specs, like small kids.
the 1250 also comes in 20kg over the 250kg stated weight. Most weight almost 300kg.
Aw man so many Easter egg subtle burns sprinkled everywhere. I used to think it was scripted, but I'm beginning to think Ryan rolls these off his tongue aux naturelle. Kudos for filming this at night! The complexity increases exponentially. 8:15 "press 1 to eliminate" 😅🤣😂 three thumbs up for the editor! Mucho respect to the team.
👍💪🙏
The last line of the video was beautifully articulated. Thx for this video Ryan.
Aneesh - the one; the only - welcome back, legend.
8:20 that shot with blinking retroreflectors is beautiful.
also, at 2:40 engine sounds are amazingly fit with the music, dunno if it originally was there or your editors are this talented.
Why yes, Of course I'm watching a video on a bike I'll never have and might never even encounter because the production quality is just that good.
Never even encounter? These things are friggin everywhere. I did my annual rider training course yesterday, out of twelve participants... eight were on GS-es.
I bought the 2015 GS-A, brand new, full spec. Pricey bastard, the best riding machine ever! Did 32K in one year and then the second, yes the SECOND, gearbox started breaking. Sold it back to the dealer and bought a 2006 R1200S. Still riding that today, as well as my 2005 K1200S. Both have 130K kilometers on them and are absolutely fine. And when they're not; I can fix them myself.
I'd like to ride this 1300, but I am not falling for that shit again.
08 GS baby. ill die with it
You are a hater because you dare to criticise bmw from experience...
Bought 2013 GS new. So far it’s got 45,000 miles, 3 recalls including a new swing arm/shaft drive, had total instrument display failure, and excessive cam wear that is “a known issue”. Meanwhile I have a 2000 Honda and 2004 Suzuki that have combined mileage of over 390,000 miles with no major issues. What is wrong with BMW?
I bought an 07 R1200 GS with 115,000 km on it last year. It runs like a new bike, and I like it more than my buddiy's 2022 R1250 GS. I also paid 31,200 less than he did.
@@AgentJayZ yes
This is so well produced, I feel like these get better every time. The writing, the editing, the music, the graphics, the fact that the whole thing was shot at night and still looks great.. everything is perfect.
This is the kind of videos that got me into this channel, no suger coating anything.
The Classic K (Flying brick) had starter relay issues in the 90s. My 1994 K1100LT would crank until you saw smoke. Don't worry, the fuse box was under the gas tank and took 15 minutes to access
My r1100rt takes over two hours to swap the god damn battery, because the Krauts put half the battery under the gas tank, to create some Space Magic? Anyways, it's up for sale here shortly.
@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic i had a R1200CL with the same type of placement. I put an extra wire running to the side cover for a Jumpstart emergency.
@@flippy6553 We have a THICC wire with a cap on it under the seat. Helps with jumping, doesn't help with the cigar and swearing for two hours to replace a KNOWN. WEAR. COMPONENT. 😅
Meanwhile, my ST1100....five minutes, one screwdriver. The Japanese know how to ENGINEER a good bike.
@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic they now how to improve and make it smaller for sure. The ST1100 is a cool bike. Damn near a twin for my old K1100LT. Other than the starter relay, a valve adjustment was all it ever needed in 70k miles. (Not counting consumables)
I've seen Ryan riding to work, wearing that enormous, high vis onesie. You can see the dude for miles. Very effective. Lol
What exactly is this suit? Me like
Is Ryan moonlighting at night & holding the Slow/Stop sign at road construction sites? It either that or he is guiding planes to their gate at the airport in that outfit!
i need to know what suit this is!!!!
😅😅😅😅😅😂
The suit! Me want
This guy is the best thing to ever happen in motorcycling short of motorcycles themselves.😎🤠
In Germany BMW sells as many GS' as the next four competitors in the top 5 combined. Ever since the GS 1200.
You see them everywhere. Saturdays, being polished in the driveway of their owners. Sundays, in front of the nearest biker café. On trailers behind expensive cars, on the way to vacation in the Austrian or Italian Alps.
But on the road or on trails.... No, not that I could recall.
Aneesh making a hell of a comeback, nice work as ever
Best line - "Rider is outside of Starbucks service area"!
I don’t own a motorcycle. Never have. I am not particularly mechanically inclined. I have however watched every single video you have made. This is the only channel I am subscribed for which I have notifications on for when a new video is uploaded. I find myself dazzled and pensive by the thoughtfulness one person can spark inside of me when discussing motorcycles - which I don’t own and often did not know existed.
I find your videos inspiring, smart, and thought provoking while emotionally stimulating.
All while talking about … motorcycles.
Absolutely the most informative, most entertaining, and best produced motorcycle videos on the planet. I wish the magazines or their respective channels were half as good.
"Whether or not you like the design will depend on whether or not you have taste" hahaha
Guess I don't have taste, because there's just something about that big burly asymmetrical 1250 GS
the asymmetrical headlight is pretty sick, gotta agree.
He didn't say you will like it, if you have taste. I rather think he implied the opposite. The 1300 GS is not a beautiful motorcycle and if you have taste you will probably think the same. But the design is crazy good from a technical standpoint
He never specified if "having taste" meant you like it or not (=
@Alphonselle
Preach! BMW's asymmetrical headlights on most of their bikes looked awesome. If not, psychotic; if, you look at the previous generation of the S1000RR and it’s single-R, scantily-clad sibling bike.
Now, without the asymmetry, BMW's current bikes just look generic. Mechanically, they’re still amazing. They just don’t have any (stylistic) character traits, outside of still committing to Boxer-Twins.
You're right there is something to it. We call it autism.
Love the nighttime filming. Great job by the camera crew in some of the toughest lighting conditions. This was a Masterclass in Videography!
Aneesh is back
yeah, especially that retrorreflector shot - damn it was unique and beautiful.
Fortnine consistently makes the highest quality videos I've ever seen... how??
the value of this channel is outstanding, thanks!
Man the music in this video combined with bmw scenery got me going
Omg, the production of this video. The details ❤❤
Please never stop making videos,
Greetings from Bavaria
The 1300GS video i expected to see... awesome job Fnine! by the other hand... nobody talks about the old F650GS 2nd gen ... one of the most reliable bikes of the German Brand... and one of the greatest designs ever. It's intemporal, the designer of the bike was a genius from my point of view.
Nice production. I almost forgot it was a bike review
I recently bought an old BMW 1200 GS and before I owned one I thought it was expensive crap but after riding it I got just how good it is and why people love their BMW. I would recommend BMW to anyone, of course they have their issues like all other bikes but no one that has ridden them can say they are not good. My opinion is if you can afford it go for it but if you need a loan skip it.
They are kind of disliked as a bike but they are very good.
@@K0nst4nt1n96 Buying used often simply beats newer bikes by a longshot though, the usual boxer engine customers are exactly the type of people you want to buy bikes from. My 2016 R 1200 RS cost me 7,7k € with only 27k km run. I literally couldnt ask for a better bike and I wouldnt know what an alternative would be. The tractor like torque, quickshifter and comfort beat alot of bikes I was considering.
The rule with BMW is as follows: The older you get, the more you like em.
Dad got several, I fucking hate em all, they are just boring. It goes the other way, he hates my ducati. It is 2 wild for his taste.
I have a v strom and can say that it doesn’t have issues. So no. Not like any bike. BMW do not own the market but I’m glad they exist. However I will never buy one.
@@enaniux182 That funny because with my dad it's the opposite, he's in his fifties with a diavel and I'm in my twenties with a R1200 RS.
Brilliant summary Ryan; "a bike trying to go and dying because its rider was busy paying for it." This bike originally excited me and i've had most of the same thoughts as you since it appeared. The weight loss is always welcome but you didn't mention what are imho, some other key design points. The transmission moved below the engine for lower C of G/greater accessibility. The clutch, now multiplate, smoother action, accessible for servicing without dropping the engine. The air box-gas tank re-design. And the always important shorter wheelbase.
Thanks for all you do, Herr Kluftinger!
Excellent video again Ryan, thank you 👍🏼
I think Ryan is the review G.O.A.T. And… after having clicked over to check out some Flying Eyes, I thought "hmm…seems like a Gore-Tex style inspired review is in order for these $250 plastic bendy sunglasses." 💰😎
Have a nice day. Sends missle is flippen hilarious!
always learn somethin watching these videos. such awesome quality!
Outstanding work, as always.
I have no words. This is absolutley extraordinary
Really drove your point home with that last line. What a banger!
Ryan! This is what other channels cannnot replicate! You hit on stuff that others do not even think about! You are Invaluble Sir.
Thank you
Another awesome video. Thank you.
Very different techno-dance type video! Awesome!!!
The next GS wont even start unless the rider is wearing a banana yellow jacket.
Hahaha
These vids are so well written.
Excellent video review! I love the zen of your moto reviews! If it weren’t for this video, I would have overlooked this GSA redesign as a facelift rather than a magic overhaul. I love the practical symbolism of the bag of sand in the factory. Well written, insightful, beautiful. Makes me think of watching and rewatching your video about the Tenere 700 before I pulled the trigger and purchased Mine
"and there is something cautionary about that image: a bike trying to go and dying because its rider was busy paying for it" goes way too hard
Such a spot-on review and accurate parting shot. This is a rich man's toy. A fourth, or maybe even fifth bike. I think it's an awesome piece of kit and BMW have lifted the bar yet again. But, would I trade in my R1250GSA for this? Nah! Is it desirable and great fun on the trails? For sure; of this I have little doubt!. And, as usual, a top notch production. Well done, Ryan and your team!
If you can only have 1 bike in the garage, the GS is, in my opinion, the best choice. I'm just waiting to see the 1300GSA before I make a choice. Newer bikes just don't bring enough changes for me to trade in my R1200GSA
Jesus, this production is getting better.
Dude, that ending was awesome. I see so many bikes in the driveway become ornament by default.
Will I ever be able to afford a beamer? No. Did it stop me from thorougly enjoying this video? Also no.
You can afford a BMW. Look at GS's from 2014 and older. They are under 10k now. Many under 8k. Put in 2-3 k yourself and you have an amazing bike that will last a long time. I've seen some 1200GS for 6-7k with 50k miles on them, That's nothing. Keep looking. I have an 09 1200GS and it does everything I'll ever need. Is hill assist necessary? No. Cruise control? no. Nice, but not necessary. I bet if you look right now on Cycletrader, you'll find a well maintained 09 GS for less than 8k.
Same... brother... same
In Australia we don't have the SOS button, and the HSC you mention can be set to Auto, Manual or Off quite easily. If you set it to Manual it works exactly as is does on the 1200 & 1250. Relay issue now fixed, so that's no longer an issue As for Vario cases. Don't buy them, just go soft panniers or 3rd party hard luggage like GIVI.
Great video as per usual. Good to get your perspective on this bike.
Thank you Front Nine you're the bestest.
I like the SOS button.Anytime I'm in the BMW palace and getting ready to sign on the dotted line, I'll press the SOS button..... and be SAVED!
Never have i clicked so fast
Ryan, you are unbelievable, another master class in motorcycle content. Brilliant explanations in engineering, with great analogies and anecdotes. You should have your own weekly show. I only wish I could articulate as well as you do, you are simply amazing! thanks buddy.
Ryan, you and your team are amazing! Those headers glowing while riding through sand and listening to your narrative is the best. Bravo!
Still loving my t7 buddy
Me too. After some much needed legit suspension upgrades, it’s a BDR beast. Even does well on two track and single track if you have the endurance. Not going to be seeing too many giant buses doing that very often.
great video as always. We also need to comment BMW for improving the off road capabilites of a motorcycle that almost none of its owners is going to take off road, hell they do not even target those riders. Do not worry about having enough money after buying it to go arround the world with it, that's not their target group either :)
Love your content guys. Just awesome
Love the glowing red exhaust in the sands scene.
Just bought a 52 year old airhead, what I love about it, it does not call home and even better it does not need to call home, it simply runs and runs and runs.......
I just sold my reliable loaded 2006 1200gs for a 1992 100gs, so far I’m happy and amazed how well it rides and simple. The 1300 seems ridiculous with lane departure sensors and all that tech. I like to fix and service my own machine not have it go into limp mode for some sensor issue. Love my airhead
Another incredibly well designed and executed video….that’s the masterclass.
Dude, your videos and presentations are super cool. Keep up good work
Fortnine is back! I enjoy the clone's videos and the Shorts. Enjoy.
But this video, with this level editing, with this level production, with this level tongue-in-cheek bravado, this is what brought me to Fortnine.
Stunning is normal with Fortnine.
Last line = best laugh. Well done, ya Canuck geniuses....
You could teach a class in film editing with this video. Very well done.
This is such a great video!
Good point. Awesome packaging.
Damnit, another effing 5-star video. These guys are amazing.
The whole vid is the top quality you get from FortNine, and that last scene had me laughing out loud. The deeper the truth in a joke, the harder it hits.
Wow… brilliant video on all points… absolutely spot on!👍🏻
Great video with a very true conclusion.
Rainy Day - F9 video. Lets go
So good - Self Immolating adventure bike cause the rider is stuck in work office trying to afford the repayments.
Love the BMW assist scenes with the missile launch. 🤣 Brilliant
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar??
I have a loaded out triple black R1300GS. Love it. My first adventure, coming from a Harley Fat Bob, such a great upgrade.
Absolute Master Class as always!
i love this night scenery
I want to see your opinion on the new Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally line. I went with the Tiger 1200 rally over the GS1300 and couldnt be happier with my choice. I think the Tiger is the king right now
I've heard this too. Curious about an objective review of the two
Thank you. Honestly. I started looking at a brand new Goldwing, then thought about the new R1300gs, then remembered you made a video about it, only to find you reminding me that the point is riding, not owning the bestest, newest, most comfyest, most sophisticated machine on the banks asset sheet. Thank you.
Another brilliant perspective
