I love this build so much!!! It looks gorgeous and sounds glooooorius!

Just subbed, looking forward to the Beemer stories. I have been tossing a few Adv bikes around, mainly the Gs1250/1300, Africa Twin and the new Ducati V2. Love the shaft that was on my Tiger 1200 and Tenere but we shall see.

I had a 2010 GSA and got a used 2017 in 2018. The day I rode with you guys on your Tigers(the day you got a wrench in your tire) I was impressed with the tigers but knew the GSA was better for me. They ride smaller then they are, they have fantastic riding settings(the newer ones adjust many things about the bike when you set them to enduro, including throttle response) . The steepest and rockiest of those roads were about as bad as I would want to go but I have done many gravel roads two up as well. I am also 6'5" so it feels made for me. Enjoy your beemer.

I made the switch as well. The BMW feels like a much smaller bike. Easy to handle and ride. I’m sold. BTW, I’ve never taken my to a coffee shop. 😅

LOVE the Moki. I've done it twice

Totally the wrong type of bike for that kind of riding. My Suzuki DR650 with Progressive Suspension would be perfect for that. No ABS, no need for ABS.

If you're riding dirt and you're not taking the occasional dirt nap you just need to try harder. ;-) I tend to get out of shape once every few thousand miles... on my TAT tour(rode it in 19 days) that equated to 3 wrong side up's over the 7000 miles (hit a cow, rut in deep silt, trying to back up on a very steep climb on Engineer Pass).

What selfie stick are you using for your 360 camera?

Thank you very much for sharing, I would like to ask you about the materials quality after 2 years use?

Good video! Keep doing it. I am searching for a Tiger 800 in Alberta.

I was between sizes, with the L being much too tight on the forehead, but the XL feeling a bit loose on the sides. My C5 is on order and I plan to use the thicker cheek pads to dial in the fit.

dude, that was the best review i've seen in a long time. your description summed it up perfectly for what this bike is for. i'm currently lookin into getting one due to i have the cash at the moment and i need to let my car go cause i can't afford payments anymore, but my crotch rocket days are past and i just want to cruise... safe journeys 🤘😎

my father in law passed away due to a terminal cancer and I'm planning to inherit his bike, just passed my motorcycle course this weekend wanted to thank you for this review it helped me a lot getting to know. hope to carry on the torch :)

Tim , I know this was 2 years ago but , did you have any issues with your Triumph on this trip ?

Just bought my second one, had a C3 which i was really disappointed with the quality and HJC fits me better

I've been wanting to go explore those areas. Trying to decide how early in the year I could go.

I just ran across you and I'm really impressed! Good commentary, cinematography, editing and the rest. Thanks!!

I just got this helmet and the noise above 60 is absolutely ridiculous i also have the hjc 50b smart intercom and the speakers are horrific definitely sound cheap compared to my old cardo freecom 2x

If you are experiencing a clunky Transmission shift, try a little throttle blip yo match your we engine speed with your speedometer speed.

Great review!!

What length shocks did you end up going with?

Where did you get your rear hoop?

My buddy dumped his pulling out of his driveway. It stalled suddenly just as he took off and slammed down. When I rode it I stalled it seversl times. I figured it is just that I'm not used to it.

I want this bike

That video quality is awesome. The red cliffs at the beginning of the video almost look fake in contrast to the closer green

Amazing. What a contrast!

Might get this as a first bike (I’m a adult kid)

My friend had a vmax with a pillow for his seat. He told me, I had to make me tougher to be a good rider. Mine, it was a vstar 1100 with a big windshield. We come back in heavy rain. lol Now, I was the tough guy with the warm engine and good wind protection. I watched him and never stop laughing at him. This is suited for trips, not a vmax. I forgot, I had full padded Gore-Tex motorcycle clothes, not leather and jeans.

Totally agree on the low speed stall bit. I have dropped mine twice when pulling away when heavily loaded for touring.

Enjoyed your video! Moab is one of my favorite places to visit and explore.

In July of this year two motorcycle riders were taken for advanced medical care in Las Vegas, and a third died from heat exposure near Badwater Basin. Heat exposure is no joke. In Baja we learned to wear well vented body armour with a off road/vented jersey, vented pants and a "camelbak" filled with ice then toped with Gatoraid. The melting ice on our backs really helped to keep the body temps down as well is diluted the Gatoraid to much more reasonable concentration of suger and salt which are very important in staying hydrated. Switchieng to a well vented Dirt Helmet is also very helpful as most ADV or street helmets simply do not vent nearly as well as a good dirt helmet.

Thank you Tim for the great video. My brother-in-law and I did the trail in early May. You bring back some amazing memories! I hope you did not do the Thelma and Louise jump! ;)

2:24… the slow reveal. Such cool terrain.

But isn’t it all so much fun Tim? Lol

Greate evaluation of my dream bike🙂

Great video. Thanks.

Its a Japanese - ofcourse its good🕺🏼

How tf I knew this was in BC

I say the only down side to vstar 1100s is the valve train noise that’s just alittle louder then most vtwins I’ve had 3 and still riding one tho ! Great bikes

Hello Sir, I visited your channel. Your content is very nice. But your video can not reach maximum view cause. 1. You cannot use the SEO video title. 2. your channel does not have proper SEO. 3.

To me the Vstar 1100 was a good platform. Like you said, its not too big but not too small, not too little power but not too much power... its the perfect median cruiser. I regret selling mine at times, so much so I am looking to get another one. One big thing people can do for cheap that really wakes up the bike is pod filters and rejet, you can buy a full "Chubby kit" which is popular that includes all needed items. After adding that the power gains were very noticeable and help push bike along better especially with my larger than average self.

Intercoms should be universal, so you could use them in every helmet. Nice review! Thanks!

I bought a 1981 CB750 Custom when I was 16 back in 1990. Had 26,--- on it and Paid $1800 for it. LOVED IT! Only dumped it one time due to the city just laying FRESH Gravel on the highway and I was making a turn but as slow as I could. Rear Tire slipped. Bent the handlebar. Was 50yrds from work where the boss man took a torch and bend it back into shape. Had it 9yrs.. Missed it. Traded it for a R/V and got $2500 for it. 2020 and get the Stimulate Check.. Found Another, Same year, Same Backrest and Luggage Rack Plus a Front Cowl in NEW Shape but not attached and some other random pieces. $2200... Had 27,--- on it. Started Right Up and Sounded Good. Got it home and Rode it 4 times before it went to Shit on me.. Guy got it running Just Enough to Sell it.. 2024. Got it back from the Shop and cost AROUND $5,000 to Rebuild the engine. Still needs Minor work done to it like, Exhaust that Leaks at head, Lower End gone through, Struts and Shocks and other Minor Stuff. Had to have New Tires, Breaks and Cylinder, Seat, Chain and other Minor Stuff. Is Ridable and has less than 400m on it at time of posting this. Exhaust is missing the Single Hole Option and has the Multi Hole One or Original Owner Messed around with them. My Original One had the Single Hole Ones. So it's Louder than my Original One. Same Blue Color as my First. Has a Shield in front of the Gauges that helps aim air away from my face/head so I Can Wear a Friction/Elastic Fit Baseball Cap while doing 50mph. Dumped this one while Parked because my Shoelace got caught on the Kickstand and just laid it down trying to get it untangled. Couple of guys just got done pulling in at the Gas Station it happened at and helped me get it off my leg. We Laughed. Did Snap the Clutch Lever but was still usable. Needs a Good Cleaning. Gas Tank Interior could use one also but is clean enough to use.. Will be putting 100% Gas in it and Not the 10-15% stuff. May Cost more but worth it.. NOT Getting Rid of this One.. Is A Little Harder now getting On and Off at my age. Legs don't like to go that high anymore. Wish Idiots would STOP Turning them into Cafe Racers. Not sure if I want to put the Color Matching Cowl on or not. Would make it look more like a Gold Wing. But was told I would get worse Gas Millage. I am getting about 40mpg and even Saw 50mpg. Filling up every 100miles to help keep Tank Clean and Gas Fresh. May cost ( at time of posting this ) $4.00 a Gallon and not the $3.25 of the 10-15% but Worth it. Peace and Enjoy!

regarding the comms units: 1) the additional pannel on the other side is for the other control unit for the 50B comms systems which comes with SENA's mesh. 2) You can buy adapters that click in to the slot on the left side you then attach your cardo too. This makes for a seamless design which I really like, especially with a packtalk slim (the slim doesnt fit rpha 71 sadly without modifying it)

I heard these are complicated to work on. You have to remove the pipes to change the oil?

I just ordered the C5. Never owned a modular helmet before and really like the looks of the Schuberth.

14t front sprocket, Galfer front rotors, Madstad windscreens (large and small), get suspension tuned, and then keep the Tiger and buy a KTM Exe-f for the real dirt trails.

Those roads look familiar! :)

Just bought my 2005 vstar 1100 today...

The yahmah vstar 1100 fits me perfect just love to cruise just feeling the rumble in the wind
