@@stuclarke9698 Hi, thanks for the comment, yes you can add a quick shifter to the K1600GT, I had a healtech quick shifter on my Yamaha FJR and took it off before i sold it and they sold the cable assembly for the K1600.

1st Spin out today, Cold, wet and windy, and the gear stood up to it all, I was not cold, not warm, and not wet. So far I’m impressed. Im trying to grow the channel and need more subscribers, please like the video and subscribe, please and Thankyou, David.

Looks like this hard waterproof fabric idea good for cruising in the Irish weather? Will it be too sweaty when the sun comes out?

@ Thanks for you comment/question. 2 trips out now both wearing base and mid layers as its currently cold, and so far im neither cold or hot, so will assume in the warmer days i can ditch the mid layers and hopefully be cool/not warm, but will need to wait for summer to confirm that,

@@slowcoachridesit’s not to hard/rigid, I was out today in +6 Celsius, i was a little bit cold but bearable. So far very happy.

@@MarkN67 thanks you for viewing and commenting on the video, I’ve since sold the 2022 T7 world raid and bought a brand new 2024 T7 extreme, as I did not find any Benefit to the larger fuel capacity, especially on ride outs with people with smaller tanks, as you were stopping to refuel based on their needs. The extreme has all the upgrades the world raid got just a smaller fuel tank and no steering damper. I’m trying to grow the channel, id really appreciate a like and a new subscriber. David

@@xplane7523 I was very happy with them, good off road, and good on road, they did not last oo long, only about 6-7k, but i would rather them sticky on the road over lasting longer.

It’s class, really big and after being side by side with the lonerider it’s next to identical and at under 1/2 the price, I would say the lonerider has heavier material but then that’s more weight. It’s rained a few times when using it and no issues with leaking. It does not come with a ground sheet so I bought a 3x5m one from Lidl for €7:00 and working great.

There is a bit of that alright, but BMW are known for making less than handsome bikes with only 1 exception the S1000RR. I’m trying to grow the channel I’d really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.

I’ve gold wheels on my 2021 GSA and they look class but impossible to keep and get clean, for looks gold, for ease of use black. I’m trying to grow the channel I’d really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.

@@soapy6799 Bar the BMW S1000RR BMW don’t make Pretty or Handsome bikes, the Radar is for collision warning and cruise control were it maintains speed and distance from the Vehicle in front of you and vehicle detection for vehicles behind and to the side of you. Great tech rarely used on a motorcycle, but BMW have to keep up with the Japanese and the Itilians. BMW do have a self riding bike, search TH-cam for BMW Self riding motorcycle, for what purpose i don’t know, showing off what that can do rather than making right what they are doing. Paint and rust for example. Im trying to grow the channel, id really appreciate a line and a new subscriber.

@@HenrikGahmberg it is but the rear seat hold the front seta in place. I did try to take off the front seat with the rear seat locked ion an it would not move. Hacks are not for everyone, and I do appreciate your feedbac/comment. Im trying to grow the annex and would appreciate a new subscriber to the channel.

@@GPR111 i was of the similar position until i seen it in the flesh, it is much much nicer when its in front of you, Im trying to grow the channel, id really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.

​​​​​@@Getting-On thanks - I definately wont be buying in, I cant stand the std 1300 and was hoping the gsa would be inspiring but for me its an even bigger fail so the 1250 is my last for sure. I just find the aesthetics of the new bikes awful, its mostly the very poorly executed slab of cheap plastic covering the cruise "radar" sensor but there are other areas too which I find quite disappointing. They will go well for sure - as they should - but not for me. For big money I expect a tertific looking machine I want to look at but this I would just use like a car as a mode of getting places without giving a second glance ..... but I would actually give it more than a second glance and be thinking its ugly as fcuk ... 😲 ! Thats not biking,.... to me anyway.

@@GPR111 I would not be too fond on the GS either, i thinks its lists its adventure and off road edge, gone a bit to road biased, also not fond of the loss of the rear light for the integrated indicators. The GSA on the other hand is growing on me, and after seeing it in the flesh im moving towards one, Ill probably leave it for 2025 and buy in 2026, im not being a free test user for BMW, especially for the ASA.

​@@Getting-On yes spot on about being a 'tester', I would give it a very good distance too before investing real money, and its only real world use which really digs deep and finds weaknesses in brand new hardware

@@GPR111 Fully agree, and in the modern world we live in we are so heavenly marketed new products and must haves, and looked down upon for not having the Newest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy and now not having the newest GS/GSA. I work in IT and we UAT (User Acceptance Testing) before we launch new hardware or software, maybe the auto industry to should be more heavily invested in UAT and get their products right the 1st time (or dam well close to 100%)

@@jimthompson717 compare to the predators teeth, sort of look the same, plenty of pics for comparison, BMW are not noted for pretty things, but the ugly grows on you. Id never give up a bike for a car, unless necessity insisted. I’m trying to grow the channel, id really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.

Colour is nice, I’ll probably go triple black.

They are a wide bike alright. The wings on the low crash bars are to remove the need to upper bars, and a bonus as a better leg rest. On bikes we have the ability to give the cyclists a wide hearth so not an issue there. Bar the S1000RR all other BMW motorcycles are ugly, but someone needs to love the ugly child. I’m trying to grow the channel, I’d really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.

That bike is seriously ugly - a monstrosity!

There is a bit of that. BMW are disrupter’s and always break convention with their designs, I’ll get a test ride shortly and will try the manual and auto version and you never know this old dog might learn a new trick. I’m trying to grow the channel I would appreciate a like and a new subscriber..

It will be late Sept to early of before I can get a test ride and will try the manual and auto versions, and you never know I might evolve and get the auto. I’m trying g to grow the channel, I would appreciate a like and a new subscriber..

I sped’d 2 up, 33-35k with luggage, ouch Had to leave before I did. I’ll be back next month for a test ride and will try the manual and auto versions

@@aivarsfreibergs2206 You have to use the Yamaha App My Ride and or MyRide-Link to setup the Bluetooth, and enter the VIN or Scan the QR code from the Bluetooth module under the seat. Im trying to grow the channel, id appreciate a like and a new subscriber.

@@Getting-On yup, myride-link is what i tried unsuccesfuly, but trough the other myride app it connects as you say. Myride-link is not showing any vehicles at all.

@@aivarsfreibergs2206 glad the reply helped, i ve had to use a combination of the 2 apps to get the Bluetooth connected.

@@trailrunnermike yes, I have the inner bags and remove them into accommodation, but when off roading over a few days I prefer to remove the rig to remove all weight and risk of damage to the kit, leaving only the tail bag with tools and tubes, im trying to grow the channel, id really appreciate a like and a new subscriber, so please consider both. Thanks David

@@trailrunnermike Thank you, it sure was, Ive since sold the World Raid and bought a brand new T7 Extreme, I’m thinking of a new kit for the new bike, so watch this space. Im trying to grow the channel and would appreciate a like and a new subscriber.

@@trailrunnermike Thanks for your comment, all the straps are standard with the Enduristan Blizzard luggage, the big ones are for the throw over, and the small ones are for holding in place to the bike. It’s a bit of overkill and there is way too much length in all the straps, but they are universal and some bikes are bigger so more length is needed. The small straps have metal hooks on the end which i had to heat to bend out to fit my rear rack. It’s great luggage and im very happy with it. One downside is it’s a pain to remove quickly, a base system that stays on the bike with quick release would be better.

@@tjzulu1 many thanks for your comment, i fully tested the hack before i applied it to my bike and the front seat is held firmly in place by the rear seat.

The hex eZcan splits the OBD connection looping back in the Bluetooth module, but I plugged in a OBD fault code reader. To have both you need to add a splitter cable from the Yamaha OBD port to the OBD port. I’m trying to grown the channel, I’d really appreciate a like and a new subscriber.

Thanks for your comment, I’ve not found heat shrink in that size before, but that is all it is with the bike logo on it.
