Seriously though - this may sound silly, but watch some other videos of what your bike can do and proper technique and build up your trust. Your bike is capable and it is not all about choosing lines, it is about unweighting the bike, keeping your momentum + speed up and letting the bike do what it can do. And if you can - get out on a 350 or even a 500 enduro and go back and run the same line so you can build your confidence back up.

I don't mind the seat for short rides but after around 100 miles that's when the seat gets uncomfortable for me. The firmness doesn't bother me but I think it's the narrowness that does. I have short arms so if I try to sit far back to the wider part of the seat my shoulders get sore from being stretched forward so I'm forced to sit closer to the tank where the seat is the narrowest. I may buy some handle bar risers from wunderlich that move the bars up and back before I spend money on a Sargent seat and see if that helps. Cheers thanks for watching 🤙

I'm sure the bike can handle it find me on the other hand... That's a different story 😅

Ha ha ya right I'm keeping this bike forever best bike ever made! Watch my vlogs to see I've already fixed everything and still riding strong 💪. Thanks for the views!

🤣🤣🤣

I gotta leave a cliff hanger for y'all to watch part 2! 🤣🤣

I was eyeing that unfortunately it's so damn hot right now I wanted to get out of the desert as fast as possible so I took the 10 west to avoid being in the heat so long. That'll be a route I try out in the winter when the temps drop and I can actually enjoy the ride and not have my mind on the heat!

Thanks man! I love how well the GS feels on the interstate at speed it never felt like it struggled and wringing that throttle out was an absolute pleasure.

😅😅

🤣🤣🤣

The bike is awesome! One of the most comfortable bikes I've ever owned... Then again I've only ever owned sport bikes so that's not saying much lol. The pan america looks like a cool bike glad to hear you're enjoying yours and thanks for all the comments! 🤙

Thanks for the sub! All in with parts and labor it was around $1400 not bad considering the hell I put the bike through. The cost would've been substantially more if I replaced everything that got scuffed, cracked, or broken but I only replaced the mechanical bits that broke i.e. gear lever, electronic windscreen actuator, and sparkplug cover. I should replace the right crash bar since I think it's bent because the rubber guards are now touching the cylinder head and the left side ones don't but I'm not too worried about it. The fairings and windshield are also scuffed up but I don't mind so I won't be replacing those anytime soon. I believe BMW quoted me about $5000 to get it back to showroom condition.

@@ohhhcrap good luck getting another crash bar I'm still waiting on mine I ordered for my 719 spec I bought in November. BMW are super slow with stock at the moment and I couldn't spec the enduro package from factory for some reason with the Tramuntana edition. I've done some light off-roading on it so far but it's nerve racking without engine bars :P I had my own channel but the police in Australia are assholes and will find you for breaking the speed limit by the smallest amount and can legally do so here with only TH-cam as evidence against you. Fuck the world is turning to shit...

@@RizzlaGP I know BMW is slacking on product everything is sold out and on back order. I wouldn't risk going off-pavement on my GS if it didn't have crash bars but you saw how shit of a rider I am so you may not need them. That's crazy about Aussie police being able to use TH-cam footage as evidence, I guess that's why everyone blurs out their speedo that has that type of content in other countries. Anyway it's never too late to start another channel just make sure to keep it under the limit 😉.

I know but I lack confidence. I have a class coming up at the end of June so hopefully that will help.

Don't worry brother I won't be going off-pavement on gnarly roads like that for a while and got a class lined up already at the end of June. Watch my moto vlogs where I explained how and why I was on that road. Cheers 🤙

Where's the fun in that? 🤣

I'm just that bad at riding off-pavement 🤣🤣

You don’t know what you’re talking about. He is a very gifted rider

@@TallyHoTech The special ed teacher called him 'gifted' that's for sure. From the short bus right onto an R1300GS!😉

Thanks for the concern brother watch moto vlog #5 if you haven't yet I explain how I found that road and why I decided to ride it. Cheers 🤙

@@Konocti You must be a Flat Earther. You just seen a once in a lifetime talent in front of your eyes 👀. Maybe you’re American and you don’t have a passport or left your state.

@@TallyHoTech Well my brother, I don't believe the earth is flat but that road he was on sure looked pretty flat! Hey I'm just teasing here. OP will learn and someday will look back and laugh.

Thanks for the positivity and motivation brother I'm not gonna let the harsh comments bring me down or stop me from doing what I love 🤙

@@ohhhcrap the world needs less negativity and especially here, where we are all sharing a common passion of riding 😀 a lot of people just get jealous too because they can't afford to play such expensive games 🤣

Stock tires the front are Anakees and the rear are Michelin I believe they are a 50/50 set up but really I couldn't tell you more than that.

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for looking I really appreciate it! I figured it shouldn't be touching since the other side doesn't hopefully it doesn't affect anything negatively.

The bike weighs 522lbs or 236 kilos and I lifted up about 10 times on the trail pretty sure I have the fitness part covered. Skills on the other hand definitely need improvement lol. Thanks for watching and the comment 🤙

@@ohhhcrap I have the R1300 as well, try standing more, and use the right rider mode.

@@barossasteve yes lots of comments have given me that advice. Watch my latest off-pavement video "Mill Creek Angelus Bypass OHV trail" I've followed that advice and improved my riding a lot check it out 🤙

Thank you brother! Is my dream bike also it took lots of hard work and dedication for me to get one. Keep your mind on your goals and anything is possible 💪

I'm considering the wunderlich "comfort" handle bars mainly since they are about $100 cheaper than factory handle bars. I don't plan on using risers I've watched a few videos that argue against the use but I'm not opposed to the idea and make a decision after I complete my off-road class. Thanks for watching 🤙

Sure man I am very happy watching your content, Imagining my future bike and ride adventures. Anyhow, didn’t look at the price listings for OEM BMW parts yet. But I know from past and present experiences they run pretty steep. I am in the process of finishing up modes on my BMW G20 330D M sport, everything I buy for it isn’t gonna be cheap, non OEM or crap aftermarket manufacturing. The car deserves the best just like this bike I love so much and plan to buy very soon, hopefully. How much is the OEM heighten handlebar for GS?

@@roverroko306 that's a great car BMW for life 💪. The factory bars are $450 btw the 1300 comes included with factory bar risers to bring the bars up. Glad your enjoying my content really means a lot knowing it's inspiring you to follow your dreams 🙏

I respect and appreciate your opinion. My microphone jack wasn't seated correctly and I was too anxious and concentrated on not having another Rouse Hill road episode to check it, which was disappointing as I was narrating the whole time. I was also riding in a big group varying from advanced to beginner riders and I didn't want to hold the group up adjusting camera equipment. There aren't any videos on this particular trail of people riding adventure bikes so I mainly posted it as a reference for those on a big bike that were thinking about riding the trail but weren't sure if they could. My apologies for the boring video and I'll do my best to double check my recording equipment in the future and also try to step up the pace for more entertaining content. Thank you for watching and the comment. Cheers 🤙

Hell ya brother congratulations on the bike! 🤙

@@ohhhcrap sooo i was just cleaning my new gs1300.. and i checked the gap between the rubber on the crash bar and thz engine. I have aproximatly 4 to 5 mm space between on both sides

@@mariuselsen9345 cool thanks for checking brother! I figured the drops must've bent it enough to make it touch so I'll have to order new crash bars 😭

Oof that would be a difficult review for me since I've never had real world experience riding a 1250gs outside of a 5 mile test ride. That being said I've ridden both one after the other and I will say to ME the 1300 felt more nimble, responsive, and narrower. The 1300 also comes with adaptive cruise control which was something I thought I didn't care for until I actually rode on the interstate and used it. Ultimately I think both bikes are awesome and I'd happily own a 1250gs if 1300s weren't available as that was the bike I was planning on buying before the 1300 was released. Realistically aside from adaptive cruise control I think the biggest determining factor when it comes to deciding which ones for you boils down to aesthetics and your pocket book. You can find a used 1250gs for almost half the price of a new fully optioned 1300, even a base model new 1250 will be $3-4,000 cheaper than a base model 1300 plus a lot of dealerships in my area are offering great financial incentives to get rid of last year's 1250 models. Both bikes are awesome and you'll be happy on either bike you decide on. Hope that helps and thanks for leaving a comment and watching my video. Cheers 🤙

Hahaha the GS stereotype is strong trying my best to break it! And I use the GoPro black 12 with media mod and Movo ACM400 mic to capture voice audio. Thanks for the positive comment and watching my video 🤙

@@ohhhcrap I enjoy seeing people doing all kinds of stuff with their bikes. My goal is to do an elephant turn with my GS at some point in my life, but I need to invest in some better crash bars first :))

@@LucianCioranu hey that's one of my goals as well! And the OEM crash bars are pretty solid in my opinion. I was on the fence at first but after everything I've put it through so far they've protected the bike and have held up nicely.

Funny story I was narrating and talking to the camera the whole trip unfortunately I don't think I pushed the aux jack in all the way into the GoPro and sometime shortly after the first rut it worked it's way out so the whole ride I was talking and nothing got recorded which is why I filled it with music 🤣. Next time I'll be sure the mics aux is seated all the way in! Thanks for watching and the comment 🤙

@@ohhhcrap okay thanks

😅🤙

Thanks brother, Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 🤙
