+Ray Weeks ... Thanks, Ray. I appreciate that. It's amazing how many people in our BMW riding club hate getting their bike dirty, and worry about their suspension. I always joke that they should be riding a Harley! 😄
nice Video, about the worst OCCASIONAL roads I will do in ARIZONA, ordered a 2023 F750 GS premium, also got a center stand. May get here by Christmas....
+Ed ... fingers crossed for you. I was waiting for a Christmas arrival too back in 2020. Eventually arrived at the end of January 21 and it was back in the workshop almost immediately for the 1000km service!!! Enjoy it when it arrives! 👍🏻
+Dean Benson ... Yes, I'm currently considering the same. Most riders I know have 70/30s. I think 50/50 is a bit excessive, but I still have the same tyres from this video, and they're about due a change. So yes, I'd defo suggest a good set of 70/30s
I really enjoy your videos, especially the way you explain and show the things you are talking about with clarity, that was what made me subscribe to your videos in the first place, especially the one where you showed the 750 ready for the Colombia trip.
.been checking out your vids for a while now..Good to see the 750gs getting some real world use..hopefully you will get round to producing maybe a mini tour highlighting some of the wonderful and interesting locations and scenery of that part of the world
+666cwg ... Thanks. Yes, my bike is definitely getting used for what it was built for!! I have some tour ideas in the pipeline, so I think I'll be doubling the miles this year, and I'll catch as much of it as possible on camera to share here. Thanks for subscribing, really appreciate it. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
+Cinematic Britian... cheers mate, I appreciate the compliments. Fingers crossed for you that you get an early Spring over there to get some good riding done. Enjoy.
Love the videos mate. Hoping to get my own 750GS real soon so watching your videos just make me more excited! I'd love to see a video of your bike cleaning/maintenance routine, especially after being out on the muddy tracks like this. Keep up the great work!
Good to see your channel doing well The tyres look great, but im never off road, Not even on road atm, weather is total crap Great sitting pillion, some beautiful scenery, please keep the videos coming, really enjoying them, and thanks, happy new year 🎉🎉
Happy New Year, Gee Cee... I appreciate the nice comment, thank you. Yes, my friends back home can't ride either at the moment. Even driving is tough some days with the bad weather!! I don't miss England this time of year... or any time of year to be brutally honest!! Hahaha.
I've been looking for a channel about 750 till I saw yours so I subscribed. I don't have a bike nor have drove one. After I get my moto endorsement next month I'm going to buy one.i live in the states so we don't have them dirt road from town to town so about 75 percent will be road 25 on dirt road. I'll probably get alot of flack but I'm a short rider and dead st to get a 750. Might have to change seat size have it lowered as much they can. I'll probably drop it alot till I get used to it's size. I'm retired now from the Post Office I want to travel on back road secondary roads. I like your channel and informative keep up the good work I'll be follow every video be safe drive careful.
Thanks, Ron. I appreciate the kind words. Yes, it's possible to lower the seat, I've ridden a friend's bike with the lowered seat, it's a noticable difference, so it's a good option to have. Good luck when you get the bike, I hope my videos keep you motivated. Enjoy your retirement.
I will probably go for a new set of tires in the upcoming season but I’m not sure what tyres it will be. it’s leaning towards some ware between 50/50 an 70/30 but I still want some longevity in them. It was nice to see a review of the anakee wild. You’re absolutely right, it’s no meaning of doing a review after 50km of riding, of course you can do a first impress video but not a review. The review should almost being done when you have change to the second set of the same tyres. Than you know how it works in the way you ride, on the roads you ride. You know the longevity and you know the difference between a new set of tyres compared to a worned out set of tyres. If you starts with a new set and ride them to the end, it can be hard to compare. But if you start with a warn out set and change to new set, you notice the difference. How ever after a couple of thousand km you have a good knowing of the tyres. a fun thing, I enjoyed my first cup of coffee just when you talked about the coffee plantages 👍☕️😊. I’m sure that even though the coffee beans they make their own coffee in Columbia not is the best quality I’m sure that drinking the coffee on site in Columbia will ad a second dimension on the experience😊
Yes, drinking a cup of coffee in Colombia certainly gives you a great feeling of connection, and to be honest, the coffee is really good, even though I'm told they send the best stuff abroad. I really felt the difference as soon as I changed the tyres, but held off doing a review until I felt it was a good time to talk with some experience. I knew that time was right when I stopped thinking about them and I was riding confidently. I've heard from other reviews that the longevity of the WILD is very good. I will feel I've gotten my moneys worth if they still feel good after 6,000km. They're very reasonably priced compared to others (equivalent to about EUR 110 for the set), so I won't mind changing to a new pair at that time if I have to. I've got some good trips planned this year, so I'll be sure to mention them in any future travel videos.
Currently using Bridgestone a41, looking at going for a tyre more 70/30, finally having stiffer touratech springs put in on its first yearly service. And yes I'm still looking at getting my spoked wheels, hopefully in the new year once I've saved up. Currently on 5.5k miles on my current tyres, taking her to the ABR festival next year, so will be offroading her. Rather not ding my caste wheels.
+BeanieBiker84 ... Cool, sounds like you'll end up with an 850! I almost changed to spoke wheels, but a local garage did a great job of straightening out my casts after a big pot hole, I decided to keep them. 👍🏻
Love your demonstrations, unfortunately here in St. Louis ( USA ) test rides are not available, however I’m going to take my chances and purchase the 750 anyway. One question I do have my friend is how is the BMW navigation? Because I plan on doing some Long distance traveling here in the United States.
+james torregrossa ... thanks for the kind feedback. I actually use my phone and mount for navigation. I talk about it more in other videos, but to be honest I never use the BMW Garmin now. For the short time I did, it was fine, but I'm just so used to Google Maps, I use that. Plus it syncs better with my Freecom headset and music. Enjoy your bike when you get it. Thanks again. 👍🏻
Hey Dean, I saw that you have auxiliary lights on you F750GS, I was wondering what kind of mounts you used, and what kind of lights? I have been looking but most mounting hardware is more geared towards the bigger R1200s and F850s. Thoughts?
+Max Jones ... a friend put them on for me. All I know is that the mounts are a brand called 'Givi' and the lights are just standard LED waterproof explorers. I've had a few questions about them since talking about them in my 7,500km review video. I should probably do a specific video on them and show the actual components in a bit more detail. I hope that's helpful so far anyway.
+Ivan Pachon ... Yes, all local. I got them on 'Mercado Libre.' Approx 520 mil pesos for both. I think they were from Bogota, but I had them delivered within 2 days of ordering. Good luck.
+Shane Alcorn ... a friend made it for me, but similar items might be available to buy. I'm going to do a video soon on how to mount them, so I'll find out if they are available to buy.
This spring I'm putting the Shinko E804/805 on my 2021 f750gs. I'll try to remember to report back and tell you how they handle. Maybe even throw up a short video explaining how they are. Any ways, your content is good 👍. Oh and any thoughts of using a drone to follow you around for a new perspective to show your bike and roads.
+Zac Smith ... yeah, let me know if you do a video on the Shinko. I've started using a drone, check out my last video to the Tatacoa Desert. But yeah, you're right, I need to use it more to show the landscape here. It's amazing and much better with a drone. Thanks.
Hi, in a couple of weeks I will became a proud 750GS owner. Now is the worse time, I have ordered it and waiting for the D-Day. Mean while I am looking for accessories and trying to order them by needing. Can you give some advise about what should I buy first?? I will use the bike everyday and ride some off on weekends. Thank you in advance and congratulations for your channel. I follow you a time ago.
+Carlos Huerta ... Hi Carlos, congrats on the new bike. I would say the most important new accessory is the windshield. It's also really convenient to have a tank bag. I would say the rest from there is personalisation that you do bit by bit over time. I did consider a specific video on my accessories with links, but I was a bit concerned I would look like I'm saying 'my accessories are the right ones''... and of course many people have different preferences. I'll have a think if there's anyway to do a vid like that... maybe just on ideas for new riders. Enjoy the bike when it comes, very exciting.
hello nice videos I guess I missed that part but do the tires transmit any vibrations to the handle bar? & are they noisy while driving on road? thanks
No, definitely no vibrations. There are some surfaces where you notice a bit of 'tire roar' more than you would on a road tire, but that's if you're at a higher speed. It's the trade-off you have to live with, but it's not too noisy. I don't notice it now, I did at first.
@@vernsterkcufouy1462 Yes sure... It's specifically for the 750GS and 850GS from Madstad. Here's the link, I believe you can only buy direct. I don't get any commission for this link, but hope it helps: madstad.com/products/bmw-f750gs-windshield Good luck!
Hello great vídeo new subscriber,I am from Cali Colombia, and have a f750 GS 2020, can you make a video showing from different views passing what we call " policías acostados " thanks
Thanks for the videos mate, picked up my second hand GS 750 a couple a couple of weeks ago. It's only got 1100km, fully optioned and l saved heaps, downsized from a 1200GS. Really happy with it. I visited Colombia in the 70's for a couple of months on an old Honda XL250, beautiful place but a bit hairy in those days. By the looks of your holiday house you're doing it tough. Cheers mate from Aussie. :-)
+Argus Tuft ... Gday. Thanks for watching. Yeah I know a few people that have downsized for various reasons. The 750 is plenty for Colombia, I really wouldn't want anything heavier or wider that's for sure. Yeah, I imagine it was a bit rough here in the 70s. I lived in Aus for 3 years, mainly just south Brisbane near the Gold Coast. Very happy days. I miss the fishing! Enjoy the new bike, amazing to get a full spec with such low mileage... he either had a big near miss that put him off, or the wife didn't approve of it!! Ride safe!
+바보Queen... I did consider it briefly, especially after damaging my front rim on the moulded wheels... But I got it repaired and for now it's ok. I don't do any extreme off-road, so I'm ok with these ones... But yes, ideally I would probably prefer spoked wheels. Also, the ones I want, have to be imported, so it's at least a $2,000 upgrade. Just a bit too expensive for something not absolutely necessary. Anyway, thanks for your continued. support
