Yes was a good time. Thank you for checking out the video and commenting. Appreciate it.

always a good time, great vibe

Unfortunately I’m accustom to loads of torque, so it would be hard for me to choose any bike that didn’t have 100 or more lbs ft of torque. With that said, I feel it was an excellent bike for the price. I would like to test ride it. Perhaps I can make that happen in the future.

@@Texas2Tires Thanks

Looking forward to more visits 😎✌️

Thanks a ton! For me, that takes quite some time.

I’m not in a rush I love my RS.

Seems it was just condensation build up because it hasn’t smoked again since. My bike has 30k miles on it. I’m thinking about potentially getting a 2026 RS with the new 1300cc motor and cool new gearbox.

@Texas2Tires Thanks! 2026 and not 2025? Also, you would stay with the RS model? Good job!

@Texas2Tires what changes are being made to the 2025 RS? I have seen different things on it. First it still has the same engine but different gear box. What have you heard?

Thanks for checking out the video and for your kudos. I'm so glad to hear you like the vids. Connecting people is something I really enjoy doing, so if these videos are promoting connection that's awesome.

I'm definitely glad I went. Traveling a bit further south allowed me to meet some new friends. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You should. It’s really a nice ride. Did you watch Part 2 of this?

So you like the riding position better or just the looks of the bike without the risers?

@@Texas2Tires I don’t really mind the look, as it’s not that drastic. It may just be me , but I feel they change the cornering dynamics for the worse.

@@jkuroski interesting, I wonder if there’s something to that, certainly seems plausible

It’s uploading now should be ready in an hour or so. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for checking out the video part two is almost done should be out tonight or tomorrow lunchtime. So happy to hear you like the video . The sergeant seat worked perfect it’s just the bars without the risers are a little bit leaned over for me and after a while my back hurts. Getting old sucks haha. 😂

Glad you enjoyed it! I didn’t eat anything. I went home to eat dinner. The R1200C is definitely odd looking, but really rare around here and unique.

@@Texas2Tires Thanks!

SW Motech blaze saddle bags come with the mounts. You can call them and they’ll help you order the right items. I have them on my BMW R1250RS

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for checking out the video. Unfortunately I doubt I’ll have time to attend that event.

Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the information. I’ll make sure Tony sees it.

Thank you so much! You read my mind, that’s the exhaust I installed a week after the video, once I removed the DB it sounds amazing! Thank you so much for the rec 👏

@@antony1384 Can't wait to hear it in person.......BRRRRRUM BRRRRRUM 😁👍

@@Texas2Tires absolutely, the bikes is ready with the upgrades that I was looking for

I believe he is just keeping his options open. I have a few friends that enjoy changing their bikes every 6-12 months. As for the bar risers, I think like me he likes the sporty look of the RS and would rather have the bars in their stock position, but comfort is a factor. I did not say I would consider the 1300 GS. I would never buy a GS. I don't plan on going off road and I don't care for the looks of it. What I am considering is the 1300 RS and the new ASA clutchless system. I've received quite a bit of feed back from friends overseas on how amazing the ASA is. I love the styling of my engine guards very happy I went with those. It was around 90 degrees, the burger was good and no bar risers for me. Thanks for watching!

@Texas2Tires Thanks for responding! Sorry I guess I misunderstood when I heard 1300 I thought you were referring to the GS. It makes sense. And great job!

Hi I have a RS and got mine with tubular bars and it is comfortable and handles well. Did you consider that as an option? Thanks

Thank you for checking out the video and very glad to hear you are happy with your RS. Appreciate your comments.

Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your insights, appreciate it.

Thanks for checking out the video and commenting. Agree I used to take mine off when I wasn’t moto-vlogging, but I now leave it on full time. Also my blaze saddle bags were only on for a trip I had out to the twisted sisters. The plan was to remove them when I got home, but they’re so convenient and they look great I ended up leaving them on. Now I can pick stuff up at the store or bring things with me like all my camera gear.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the new ASA. I can’t wait to have a go on it.

Unfortunately not quite sure, but the CAT has some heft to it. I’m guessing I lost about 3-5 lbs ???

119

Hp is somewhere between 105 and 115 depending on what source you use. Yamaha‘s website doesn’t seem to show horsepower or torque numbers. He has the BMW Garmin. I like almost all bikes. However that doesn’t mean I’d buy them all. Personally I wouldn’t buy either bike. But I do like the styling of the Yamaha.

Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your insights. BMW’s boxer is a great engine and full of torque and torque is fun 🤩 Congratulations on the new bike safe journeys.

@@Texas2Tires thanks, take care and ride safe!

He likes to throw the iron around

Thank you

Thank you for checking out the video and I appreciate your praise. I pretty much use that tank bag every day I really love it and the color scheme matches my bike perfectly great quality for a reasonable price.

Agreed, Not a bad bike in our bunch.

Glad I could help. Thanks for checking out the video

I’m a proponent of more torque. In my opinion torque is more important and more fun than high hp when it comes to real world street riding.

Thanks for checking out the video. Excellent suggestion, and great reminder. A friend also has an RS and mentioned that to me a while back, but life got in the way, memory problems etc and here we are still no radiator protection. I’ll get on that soon.

Congrats on the new RS. Sure would be fun to meet up. You can message me on instagram @texas2tires

Thanks for checking out the channel and posting your question. If it does have a tune and you bring it in for service if they hook up the computer to the bike it will override the tune and a erase it most likely especially if there is an update to the TFT. The dealer really should know if there is a tune or not when they bought the bike as a trade-in. All the signs that my bike has a tune are easy for me to understand because I have something to compare it to. For you that would be difficult. When I crack the throttle the exhaust valve pops open and the bike lurches forward. This didn’t happened before the tune. The BMW mechanic told me that happens because you have a tune.

@@Texas2Tires Thanks for your prompt response! I have access to a Hex GS-911 OBD2 scan tool. Do you think it could tell me something about the status of the ECU if it was flashed or not?

No I’m not using the luggage mounts that came with the motorcycle. The SW Motech Blaze saddle bags come with their own mounts.

Nice 👍

Unfortunately the streets aren’t clean like a track. I’ve had friends hit unexpected sand / gravel in turns and low side. Doesn’t take much to wash out a front tire. Sand, gravel, oil etc. Safe journeys!

Yes they touch the paint. However SW Motech provides clear stickers to place on the bike so that the bags don’t damage the paint. I think I showed this during the installation video. th-cam.com/video/2t283Kx9Bnw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1iT5RznVYegq8ogy

Temps are calming down. Supposed to be rainy this week. Went for a short ride yesterday to the local BMW dealer. it was 99° at least it wasn’t triple digits. Today is 91.

Thanks for stopping by the channel glad to hear the video was useful.

Thanks for the question. I chose to answer your question with a video. Here's the link to your answer: th-cam.com/video/tV0PFvjp4hQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u4vd5stnFdVXvwbc

Thanks for watching the video. Motorangutan didn’t sell motorcycles just parts and gear. Not sure why they closed guessing competition from the bigger retailers. That older Ducati was cool. I wanted to talk to the owner but he slipped away before I could find him. However it seems to be a Ducati Sport Classic 1000 SE which were made between 2006-2009. I could be wrong, but looks pretty much the same.

@Texas2Tires Thanks! And I think you are right about that ducati. I had not seen one in a while so it caught me off guard but liked the look.

My friend Robert bought his C5 carbon at the following German website: www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/en_US/;IC_DeliveryCountry=US;IC_IP2Location_Locale=en_US;IC_TargetCurrency=USD;SessionID=cd936ecd5227fa8052cf9c05392e155c?ObjectID=2587584&ViewAction=FacetedSearchProducts&SearchString=Schuberts+c5+carbon

Thanks for replying.

@@CJs.82 No problem hope that helps.

Puig Touring Plus is the name of the windscreen. Thanks for checking out the video.

Glad it helped! Thanks for stopping by the channel. Appreciate it.

The carbon is lighter than the regular C5 only by a little bit here’s the weights and you have to consider the communication equipment too. C5: Size 59: 1780g +/- 50g Size 61: 1910g +/-50g C5 Carbon: Size 53/55: 1577g ( 1607g with accessories) Size 57/59: 1600g ( 1630g with accessories) Size 61/63: 1767g ( 1797g with accessories) |

Thanks for stopping by friend 😊I rarely get caught in the rain as I ride mostly within a three hour radius of my home and don't head out on days that look crappy. Yesterday was blue skies and all clear on the weather apps. Oh well. I'm very happy with my SW Motech bags and my Sargent seat and rear pod. All solid investments for the RS. Like I said in the video, I've talked to some people claiming they got only 5,000 miles out of their Road 6. I'm thinking they either really like having new tires all the time or they ride the Fug out of them doing burnouts, extreme braking and ride on rough roads. Also probably don't keep the tire pressure consistent. I check my tire pressure each time I ride and keep them 34-36 front 40-42 rear. I just checked my receipts to get the accurate number of miles my tires have lasted. My first set of tires were the Metzlers that came with the bike. They were changed out at 12,704 miles (20,439km). However those Metzlers were in really rough shape when I changed them to my first set of Road 6 especially the front it had really bad cupping. My first set of Road 6 lasted 15,383 miles (24,757km). Again not in great shape when I changed them. The rear was squared off and the center line of the tire material was starting to show through. I should have changed them around the 12,000 mile (19,312km) mark. The front tire was in pretty good shape, no cupping. Regardless of how long somebodies' tires last, I wish everyone enjoyable fun filled safe days on two tires!
