I am disgusted to say this is 100% accurate for me. I have a 2021 triple black that has 2300 miles on it and has never been off road or in the rain. In fact is cleaner than any you would find new on the dealer floor and its never had a true soap and water wash. I really hope I am not the only one who bought one of the most capable bike in the world to do absolutely nothing with it. This video gives me hope and I appreciate you for it.
Mine was laying down in a rapidly swelling creek in a torrential thunderstorm where I needed to pivot it on sand and rock on its cylinder heads within 3 weeks of taking delivery. It’s sitting in the garage now and has heaps of dirt and vegetation stuck between the cylinder head and cylinder head guard plate and is caked in mud. Picked it up on the 6th of August. They work for all types of riders!
Hi, in fact Captain, you made me laugh so much, I don't know why we do it in every country, I have motorcycles including a BMW 1250 GSA and then I ask myself why am I not on the long trip between one continent and another? You made me think and think why? Hahahahahaha🏳✔☑✅😂
So many pretty pristine GSAs running around town. That's why I bought one. Mine is all scratched and dinged from the mountains and desert. I wouldn't have it any other way. Old guy out....
this is no less or more accurate description of GS drivers in aberdeen apart side panniers with stickers from all the world which result not even one scratch on the bike or panniers. I pass those gs when is sunny days, while daily committing to work but when is rain i have not see one GS on the road. I forgot add they usually ride with high visibility jackets with famous word Polite lol….
😂 if that’s the typical GSA driver, I am a very atypical one: - coffee, not my cup of tea - cleaning the bike… will do so when I sell it - except for snow, nothing keeps me from driving it when I want or need to. - I don’t care what people think of my bike, if I’m off to drive for fun I get as much nice roads as I can in one day (around Belgium) so no time to stand still… 😁
Oh My goodness a actual GSA adventure video. 🤔 I wonder what is going to be written in your journal and said around the water cooler. You can probably add another one of your mail order destination stickers now.🥳👍
That’s right, KTM bikers are the though guys that only drink whiskey and beer before they go plundering 🤣🤣🤣 they don’t drink coffee. And yes I’m a GS guy 🤙🏼
The goldwing is a solid option full with comfort features and as much “luxury” as you can expect from a motorcycle but the GS are simply lovely and you can have some fun throwing them around in the twisties if you feel like it or simply put them on cruise control and eat miles and miles, the ergonomics and the suspension make them extremely comfortable but you always have that added bonus of being able to take any off-road road that you want whenever you want, also if you know you won’t be going off road you can get some hard touring tires and get great mileage out of them.
Well, the GS boys have to drink coffee while they wait for their KTM friends to get recovered from the side of the road after breaking down again 🤣.... I don't mind the piss taking... because my GS has done thousands of miles all over .. its ridden not hidden 👊 peace out
That's because i have been laughing about the bike for some months and suddenly start riding it 😁. Can't complain about the views on this little channel. Doing good enough for now 😊👌
The KTM guys at Starbucks, after staring at the menu for 15 mins, and telling 8 people to go ahead, im still trying to decide,.........."I'll have a large regular coffee, and one of those chocolate things.......NO, that one in the front"! "TO GO, that order is to go"
It turns out I just understood why they call this motorbike a bored old man's motorbike who only goes to Starbucks, in my country this motorbike is used for adventuring 😂 that's why I'm confused hahahh
and? Are you saying it is bad for a vehicle manufacturer to fix issues that are found on their products... and do it at no-charge... OMG, the horror!?!
@@RevsIT 1. It is not his bike. 2. The recall is not on 'that' bike (2022) 3. The video is making fun of GS/GSA owners, so you are adding insult to injury.... or would it be injury to insult. Look at it from others points of view... hahaha... you GS/GSA owners are snooty Starbucks people and would not get dirt or scratches on your ADV bikes... hahaha... oh... and just FYI... there is a recall on your bikes too.... hahaha. We know that plenty of KTM riders enjoy the tasty Starbucks treats as well ;)
Thanks for the laugh! Just a heads up, in your video comparing the 1290 and the GSA someone was pretending to be you in the comments and telling people they won Gym stuff. Edit: Looks like that account is gone and all the comments are deleted. Never mind!
if you're the best-selling bike year after year, you'll be driven by a few polishing idiots … many manufacturers like KTM would like to have this problem 😝…
Some how this video reminds me of a fully modified Toyota Landcruiser with snorkels, winch, old emu suspension, 33 inch MT offroad tire, and everything, but most of the time, its job is only to go to the mall. 🫣
Because GS's like any other Adventure bike, needs different tyre pressures Off-road and on the street, so after they finish their "adventurous" day, when they come to take a break at Starbucks, they also readjust their pressures for street riding ! 😅😅
Hey i like what you do for reall i have one question i need ur opinion My father have triumph tiger xca explorer 1200 2019 And he want to own another trail bike And he confused between. Gsa1250 / ktm1290 s or R / Africa twin What do you choose 🤔🙂 Thanks
Soooooo, I know you had a contest for the Sena 10C but someone (pretending to be you) is saying I won a GS 😳 I'm going to guess that I didn't really win anything huh 😭🙄😆
I find it funny that while you were filming this you actually caught some GS there😅
3 of them actually! This guy asked me why i was filming and asked if he should put his GS next to mine. I was like "Yes , yes you should!" 😁
@@LifeofSmokey 😅
Needed to be standing up as you pulled into the Starbucks, for full adv-poseur cred 🤣

@@ryanmalone2681 That seems like what it was actually made to do. But what do I know? I don't even own an ADV bike.
@@ryanmalone2681 my 1250 Rallye is in pretty much the same state 🤣🤣
@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures They sure can take a beating like no other bike.
Hilarious! You should do series with different manufacturers. I hope someday that someone will do a Starbucks wrap on their gs. That would be epic.
Now I'm waiting for the "day as a ktm 1290r rider" hahaha because the GS is on point.
Wanted to say exactly the same thing!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ok , i'm making this video! 😎👌. Tips on what i need to do besides crashing?
@@LifeofSmokey Change the rear tire...

The GS can do everything. Even cafe racers 😅
So many pretty pristine GSAs running around town. That's why I bought one. Mine is all scratched and dinged from the mountains and desert. I wouldn't have it any other way. Old guy out....
I have engraved my pot covers with dates and locations of all my offroad tumbles.... get funny looks from the Starbucks cowboys
This reminds me..Ill have to wash my GS. Havent washed it in 3 short rides 😄
I'm outraged by this 😔 us xr rider's do exactly the same, but quicker 👍😄
You brave man! 😂 poking the plush German hornets nest
Another happy video :-) unfortunately I found one basic error. Where, for God's sake, are the missing 2 suitcases?
🙂🤣😂😁
too expensive to ride, too much cleaning after rain... ;)
Yes yes yes 👍
I totally do this. I own a 2022 1250 GSA.
Only thing missing is Touratech accesiories 😄

sums it up nicely.
Bonjour, je viens de découvrir ta chaîne. Je reçois ma GS la semaine prochaine. Je la présenterai sur ma chaîne 👍
I am a GS rider and don't mind mocking at all but I have never seen this Starbucks situation in real life lol
Me to, on the way to catch a ferry, passed Starbucks on the A303, only bikes in there was 3 GSAs
YES!! haha love it
What the hell is going on Smokey!? Brabus needs to get their hands on the 1250GS
Oh My goodness a actual GSA adventure video.
🤔 I wonder what is going to be written in your journal and said around the water cooler.
You can probably add another one of your mail order destination stickers now.🥳👍
That’s right, KTM bikers are the though guys that only drink whiskey and beer before they go plundering 🤣🤣🤣 they don’t drink coffee. And yes I’m a GS guy 🤙🏼
@@mr.mistoffelees7188 🤣🤣
You have just made my mind up. Cheers buddy 👍💪😎
I'm looking for a long-range bike to add to the sportbike collection in the garage... all these GS videos have me rethinking my Goldwing plan.
The goldwing is a solid option full with comfort features and as much “luxury” as you can expect from a motorcycle but the GS are simply lovely and you can have some fun throwing them around in the twisties if you feel like it or simply put them on cruise control and eat miles and miles, the ergonomics and the suspension make them extremely comfortable but you always have that added bonus of being able to take any off-road road that you want whenever you want, also if you know you won’t be going off road you can get some hard touring tires and get great mileage out of them.
I have a K1600 and a GSA. Long touring and twisties... get a K1600
For some reason the Adventure versions are always like new. You should see my standard GS after 2 years ...
Juaaaa!!!! UMF!!! Great video mate!
You forgot to add a belly 😂.Nice suit , what is it ?
It's old gear i bought years ago 😅🙈
Well, the GS boys have to drink coffee while they wait for their KTM friends to get recovered from the side of the road after breaking down again 🤣.... I don't mind the piss taking... because my GS has done thousands of miles all over .. its ridden not hidden 👊 peace out
I want Ewan and Charlie to do a series around this theme. Long Way Between Starbucks.
Best thumbnail ever
Made my day 👍💯😂😂😂😂
Views really skyrocketed when you got the BMW haha. Love the content! Especially your energy whilst filming
That's because i have been laughing about the bike for some months and suddenly start riding it 😁. Can't complain about the views on this little channel. Doing good enough for now 😊👌
@@LifeofSmokey well deserved! Keep it up
Cooor good ride out
Harley Davidson riders at Starbucks.................."can I get the key to the bathroom"
But you could have picked more prejudices 🤣
I have my GS not very long, but it was already a little offroad AND also rain. That goes already 😁
😂😂😂.. top man!
Just too funny 😂 just👌

Excellent 🤣🤣🤣👏👏 I love your sense of humor👍
Absolutel genius!
nice
That made me Lol! thanks! Norden guy here and 690 R...just came back from a 1000 km 2 days ride and it seems that T700s are everywhere now..
hahahaha love your sense of humour, send it to my prestige GS friends LOL.
It turns out I just understood why they call this motorbike a bored old man's motorbike who only goes to Starbucks, in my country this motorbike is used for adventuring 😂 that's why I'm confused hahahh
So funny sums BMW riders up to a T, polishing instead of riding the thing, 😊
This is so Funny! No one needs to Trash a $26,000 USD bike on the BackRoads. That's for Honda Africa Twin for 1/2 of the price.
That's so funny! Thats me!! But now I own a KTM GT and do the same 😂😂
Good coffee for sure 😁👌
Love it!!!
Okay, you are not a TRUE GS rider! 🤨 You forgot to put on the side cases. A TRUE GS rider always has all cases on the bike. ALWAYS! 🤪
You made me laugh haha throughout the video, the same thing happens here in Argentina... greetings
Totally brilliant 🤩
Skip the $6.00 double mocha and save $1000's each year
🧋🍰Starbucks parking lot princess... your making us GS riders look bad!😅🤣😂
Na, GS riders in general make us look bad
@@nobodyinparticular709 It's such a running joke that non riders know it.😄
😂 funny can I ask what jacket and trousers are those👍
Jacket is from Macna and the pants is from Richa 😉
Ha ha love it ! Just stanc there and keep cleaning it 😂😂
Ah ah ah! 🤣Nice, very Nice !
Hahaha...great video,,, do GS pwners get a Starbucks discount :)
Nope , i asked! 😂
Guy behind the counter did confirm he spots way more BMW riders as KTM riders haha
im guessing the F type GS's have their own culture, cause no way mine could, unless i disassembled it, ever get clean or be at a starbucks.
Same
Starbucks has free air to make sure everyone is at street pressure
lmao
Brilliant!!!
funny - keep it going
It’s funny because it’s true!
The GS 1250's are being recalled by BMW check out Visor Down.
and? Are you saying it is bad for a vehicle manufacturer to fix issues that are found on their products... and do it at no-charge... OMG, the horror!?!
@@g33k98 No. I am making a fellow motorcycle vlogger aware that there is a safety recall on his bike. Why the hate?

👏🎉🏆
You have a great life sir... :)
If I buy a GS I am putting a cup holder on it!
I want a ktm 1290 so bad
Can definitely see myself there.
I want to report a hate crime! 😆
Xaxaxxa...this is so true 👍🙂
The gloves Smokey the gloves :)
Funny and kinda true
Thanks for the laugh! Just a heads up, in your video comparing the 1290 and the GSA someone was pretending to be you in the comments and telling people they won Gym stuff.

You meet the nicest people on a BMW 🤣
Life is rough so you gotta be tough ! 🍰☕ 👍😂
😂😂😂 too funny.
perfekt 😀
Bravo 👏 👏👏😂🤙🏾
when you pay that much money for a bike, you'd stand and look at it all day too.. and keep it clean ... and only ride it on roads :P
I have a question about your trousers. Which brand and type is it?
I laughed my ass off, but i have nog seen many gs riders here in belgium go to starbucks, guess its something Americans would do😂😂
We just don't have that many Starbucks yet haha
if you're the best-selling bike year after year, you'll be driven by a few polishing idiots …
many manufacturers like KTM would like to have this problem 😝…
Brilliant, I get what you mean. 🤣🤣
Hilarious!
👍🏼💯💪🏻
we need a ktm version
When do you have to return the BMW GS?
Some how this video reminds me of a fully modified Toyota Landcruiser with snorkels, winch, old emu suspension, 33 inch MT offroad tire, and everything, but most of the time, its job is only to go to the mall. 🫣
💯💯💯💯💯💯
How was the ice coffee?
It was raining when you got home, you're so out of the club!!!
Why does anyone go in Starbucks any way
Hahaha nice video 😂😂😂
Why do they have air at Starbuck's?
Because GS's like any other Adventure bike, needs different tyre pressures Off-road and on the street, so after they finish their "adventurous" day, when they come to take a break at Starbucks, they also readjust their pressures for street riding ! 😅😅
