I'm after doing that twice. In 2005 bought a 2001 first $1000, bought parts first $2500, road the bike until 2014 with 100000kms on it. In 2014 bought a damaged 2014 R1200GS for $4000, put $2500 into it, just sold it for $12000 after putting 90000kms on it. Decided on a brand new 2022 GSA.... Nice work on the bike
Da biemvuista che in tanti anni sono stato ti faccio i complimenti per la cura che hai avuto per sistemare al meglio tutti i piccoli danni che ha subito la moto, in realtà le vecchie BMV non avevano tutti questi pezzi. Se fosse stata mia questa moto avrei trovato qualche soluzione per non vedere il tubo appiattito del paracilindro sinistro, ho quasi 80 anni e ho nella mia vita posseduto e restaurato circa 43 moto. Un saluto da Roma👍👋
Saludos de Venezuela Edo Trujillo bendiciones 🙏🇻🇪 exitos cada día más hermano excelente trabajo de recuperación quedó como nueva esa tremenda moto dios te bendiga y que cada día te valla de lo mejor hablasos de 🇻🇪🦾💪👏
Despues de tanto trabajo y de tantos recambios originales comprados, no se si te ha salido a cuenta restaurar esta genial 1200 GS o comprarte una nueva. De todas formas, Gran trabajo!!!
@@danemiljus5485 If you think this bike, that started the adventure bike class and is still the benchmark, is garbage, I would like to know what bike you think is not garbage. I know it’s not for everyone but it’s been a iconic motorcycle for over 40 years.
@@danemiljus5485tell me you don’t ride without telling me you don’t ride. I rode one of these for 7 years, beautiful engine. Go back to reading Boys own Adventure
Thanks for the video, you’ve done an amazing job repairing this bike. I was surprised that the BMW engine protection bars (as big and complex a shape as they are) did not protect the rocker cover and internal parts of the cylinder head better. I perhaps would have looked at fitting top quality after market protection bars to prevent similar damage in the future. Great job though, greetings from Australia 😊👍
Wow you made what looked like a goner parts bike, shine again. increased the value by $10,000 or so. Can't believe you were able to save the crash bars, great job.
I bought a BMW R 1150RT years ago from Copart. 300 pound uk to fix. Basically bike for half retail price. It was flood damaged. Stopped and tipped over into a big puddle. Insurance wrote it off. Hardly a scratch on it. what a bargain. Ran it for 10 years.
Very nice job done! Especially cause you reused the old repaired parts without just buy every stuff new.. I wish you always a enjoyable ride. Greetings from Germany ✌🏻
Loved the video, thanks. I'm not entirely sure I would want to ride the bike at highway speeds knowing both the stress points that mount the windshield had been superglued back together! also, was the bike crashed by the first owner on the first ride? It looks incredibly clean in all the nooks and crannies and the engine looked like it had run for an hour before the owner slid
Great job. I love the additional fabric side pockets and the tool box. Are the crash bars going to be strong now they have been bent? I think BMW panniers would be nicer.
Excelente trabajo!! Por el valor de la moto yo le hubiese puesto nuevo la defensa de motor del lado izquierdo y no sólo pintar sobre el caño abollado. Buenas rutas!!
Hi, I would like to know if the dashboard you installed is new or used. If it’s used, how did you pair it with the vehicle? Don’t you need to change the VIN and the odometer on the dashboard to match with the info in the ECU?
You Sir have SKILLS .....Great video I applaud the repair before replace if possible and a fantastic end result. I hope never to crash my 1250 because I don't have anything like your skill set or tool set.
I almost cheered with you when it cranked. That's always a great feeling. I was inspired. Thanks for posting.

thanks a lot!
BMW no longer provides workshop manuals for their newer bikes. Good luck!
@@clayfarnet970don t be ENVY. Bmw owners are richs and can do manteinance in BMW DEALERS
@@Okke-j2n Rich???🤣🤣🤣They have a lot of dept yes
Best motorcycle ever made. Still drives mine after 10 years.
And I'm 63yo now.❤
Well done guys, great result without just replacing everything.Great to see stuff being repaired.
Replacing parts and repairing parts is not the same, No feat.
They have no choice because sanctions against russia and belarus. Many cars from the west missing spare parts and are for the most unusable..

That really is a complicated machine. No wonder they cost a lot to service or repair at a shop. Excellent work. Worth greasing the shaft splines too.
Its garbage.

Nice work and very nice video, very interesting. Very useful to learn how the boxer works, and how to fix the 1200. Congratulations.
Absolutely amazing work

Amazing people and the patient. Love it.
Great job mate it is great to see stuff actually repaired and not thrown away and replaced 👍🏻 Enjoy it and keep the great job!
@13:34 the way you fixed rear turn indicators is just amazing 😁👍.. by the way nice job brother 😊 great to see that..

Well, the inside of an engine usually should look clean, on a bike with only a few tens of thousands kms.
Mech like you are rare and thanks for such a great work and showing us on TH-cam. Though i dont own one, i really liked watching this.
Tu eres una estrella restaurando Felicidades desde REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA.

Qué buen trabajo!!
I'm contemplating doin the same thing, what status was the title and what kind of hoops did you have to jump through to put it on the road?
Nice bike, good job! Don't know if gluing the indicator arms and windshield brackets will last first time you hit a pothole?
