"Wheelies make people happy man" I'm 34 / always been riding bikes / never learned to wheelie until I got a GSA 1200 No one ever asked me to wheelie, now that I can, every person next to the road is asking me to wheelie. It's like you 'ride like you can' :D
I took my 1250GS to the track and over countless narrow mountain roads but I have to admit: i am so scared it will just flip over if i try to wheelie it. Maybe after seeing you do it, i might give it a try.
I've seen my fair share of insane GS riders. For what it is it's an insanely good bike. But the XR is very similar in it's versatility but bit more up my alley lol
I have a R1200GS and 790 Duke ironically. The Duke feels like a toy compared to the GS, it's the reason I bought it and the reason why I love it so much. The GS is much faster in the twisties that it should be!
Coming off the BMW and getting on the Duke back to back was so weird, it felt tiny. I always liked the 1200, but the engine on this 1250 is a step above, remarkable how they've improved it.
@@bazza8947 bruh you were the one initially stating the obvious as if we didnt knew theres a gigantic size difference between an 1200cc adv and an 800 naked
I was thinking about hitting the Dynamic Pro mode and pulling some wheelies soon but thoughts of those times where I got it wrong and thought I destroyed the front forks on previous bikes haunt me. LOL. Solid vid bro.
Practice a little 2nd gear clutch up here and there until you get the feel for it and it start coming up a few inches. Then work on carrying that small wheelie longer and longer, before you know it you'll be wheelying 2nd into 3rd and more. This bike makes it effortless.
@@CubanRider Maybe I'll shoot some POV vid, give you the credit on techniques for real. Back when I rode lots of sport bikes I would just power wheelie everything, with this bike not so much.
Here the builders build the roads and then the city takes over. Not a lot of people would buy houses in neighborhoods without streets. I guess we're spoiled!
hi, nice video, but i am curious, is the gs motor ok for sustained wheelies in terms of where the oil pick up is positioned, is there any danger of oil starvation and engine damage?
Nooo returnnn itttt Get the ktm1290 you won't regret it. Unless you are going to travel around the world then yes get the bmw it has more global support
@@OVER5TEER if i thought that way then I wouldn't ride harleys 😂 c'mon man the ktm1290 is hella fun. Test ride it you won't regret it. I love bmw but that boxer engine is just nah
@@JL-wf2wp I've ridden the 1290SDR and love the motor. But I literally don't have a car for commuting (5 days a week). Need reliability. KTM is a great weekend toy though.
@@OVER5TEER i would ride it everyday 😈 and I don't think they're that bad, after all they have the rc8 motor in it they're pretty good. Anyways the bmw is not bad at all either, hope you enjoy it a lot and have great times with!
@@emilianoaguero1330 I thought the same, but it has done it other times. I’m now more used to it and I just keep the wheel slightly of the ground when I fully open the throttle. When any other bike would just stall, if you depress the clutch a little fast, this just takes off on one wheel.
@@VAROCRO lol he literally says he's using clutch. And you can see and hear him slip the clutch. His first wheelie was a power wheelie but like he said it pops up alot faster when using clutch
Watch the tach and listen to the motor. When you hear the revs jump and come back down, that means he's slipping the clutch. You can power up the R1250GS, but the GSA with a full tank has more weight over the front, which makes it a bit harder. Both bikes are easier to clutch up in 2nd like Cuban Rider is doing here.
I really wanna power wheelie my r1200gs Rallye, but she scares me. I used to power wheelie my S1000rr, so I guess it's no different, it's just the weight of the GS that scares me
I wasn't very successful with the 1200GS, but I think I forgot to disable all T/C so the electronics were interfering. I would like to find another one and try, I'm sure it's just a good as the 1250 getting it up.
yeah, I haven't switched my electronics off properly yet, only used the rider presets, but even from a standing launch, the thing comes up a bit. I think I'll try just turning off the Trac and ABS and from 2nd gear just powering it up so it lifts and riding it out
yeah, I learned to wheelie on my s1000rr, powers and clutch ups, but not to the point of confidence that you seem to have. I'll give her a go though, she seems to want to be on her back wheel 😉
@@CubanRider I have a 1250 GSA , reaching 70 mph on a second gear is a lot …maybe because yours is a regular GS it can do that but I am not sure ….I am doing smaller wheelies which is not difficult but holding it for a while is still not happening 😒

Wheelies make me happy! 😊

The trick is to cover the rear brake! If it leans too far back just slightly tap the rear brake and it comes back down
I have the same mental barrier, I am so scared of flipping it over that I cant lift more than 5 inches without releasing the accelerator. 😂
Hi
Nice video bro! In wich driving mode you wheelie a Bmw Gs?
The trick is to first buy a beater bike that you wouldn't mind laying down
Cuban so true, wheelies make people happy 👍
"the goal is to carry the little Willy longer and longer and longer."
Thanks for the video. Improving with my 1250gs.
I've seen my fair share of insane GS riders. For what it is it's an insanely good bike. But the XR is very similar in it's versatility but bit more up my alley lol
Sameee
no clutch needed at all RPMs right in second in dynamic pro mode simple speed shift into 3rd 4th go simple
Same here as everyone else, just dont wanna destroy it...
Seeing such a big bike on the back wheel looks odd...but cool.
great video mate.
I’ve tried a couple of times on my 1250GSA, front wheel comes up easy enough, but I’m too scared to go high. Dont wanna wreck it :(
Same here brother
U can wheelie now? After 2y?🙏🏼
@@sealknolovefor sure, eeeeezeee
@@magnuss2916 Nice bro, how long did you train?

@@CubanRider The 1250 is awesome but I'm still holding off a little while longer before updating. I want adaptive cruise control!
What did you expect its a big difference

somebody in the UK, find me a parking lot like that please. food on me :D
In Holland they first build the houses, then the street. Here the other way around :)

Hi love your videos but can you kindly share with us on what modes and settings your bike is before you wheelie it?
He's probably on road mode with traction control off. If you put it in Enduro, you can wheelie but it's harder as you will have less power
hi, nice video, but i am curious, is the gs motor ok for sustained wheelies in terms of where the oil pick up is positioned, is there any danger of oil starvation and engine damage?
Awesome 👌
Wow props mate! That's amazing
Saludos 😁
I have a '16 XR and have a 1250GS on order. I'm still waiting to hear your impressions on 2nd gen XR. I hated it...
Nooo returnnn itttt
Get the ktm1290 you won't regret it. Unless you are going to travel around the world then yes get the bmw it has more global support
@@JL-wf2wp It's my daily and I'm afraid of KTM reliability and parts support. Heard too many horror stories.

On which riding mode do you do this ? My 1200gs 2017 will only wheelie in Enduro Mode
Nice man
Amazing control, I should try it on my KLR 650 hahaha
Wow, my jaw is open 😆
I didn't expect it to wheelie that easily, that GS is pretty amazing. 🙃
Haha “I hit my nuts” 😂
stupid 1250 pulled a wheelie on me without noticing or wanting to. Now I fear the clutch on a green light! I need to master it!
It's almost impossible to wheelie it on "Road"-Setting, In "Dynamic" power wheelies are possible, especially with a pillion, but it won't flip over.
@@emilianoaguero1330 I thought the same, but it has done it other times. I’m now more used to it and I just keep the wheel slightly of the ground when I fully open the throttle. When any other bike would just stall, if you depress the clutch a little fast, this just takes off on one wheel.
What's not to love? 🤣
👍 😃 👍 💪 😎 Cool👍
Did you clutch it up?
Omg 😳
Are you using the clutch or is it just power?
Same question
@@VAROCRO lol he literally says he's using clutch. And you can see and hear him slip the clutch. His first wheelie was a power wheelie but like he said it pops up alot faster when using clutch

It's a big girl so not the easiest to learn, but once you learn on other bikes, you realize the GS is easy and stable to wheelie
yeah, I learned to wheelie on my s1000rr, powers and clutch ups, but not to the point of confidence that you seem to have. I'll give her a go though, she seems to want to be on her back wheel 😉
Where is this place you're practicing at? I have the exact same GS 1250
This area is local to me. Where to do you live?
I'm right on SW 8th street and 97th ave Westchester.
Wat kind off screen do you have on de GS?
Ronald this one is the MRA Vario screen, same I have on my S1000XR.
WTF 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 So nice
good morning sirs should i desactivate abs ? or can i do it when its on ?
ABS is fine
@@CubanRider sir those 2 opcion u have disactivaded in the gs what are they ? is it neccesary to disactivate ?
"Effortless" using the clutch from 30km/h 🙄
david bost 2055:
Is your speed in Km or Miles ? If it’s in Miles with second gear that’s crazy
Miles, but it feels very solid.
@@CubanRider Do you let the clutch go when you speeding up or you still hold it ?
Slip it to initiate the wheelie, then let go
@@CubanRider I have a 1250 GSA , reaching 70 mph on a second gear is a lot …maybe because yours is a regular GS it can do that but I am not sure ….I am doing smaller wheelies which is not difficult but holding it for a while is still not happening 😒
Conyoooo
Who's here after sriman video
I can't wheelie :(
Me either…
Belut tv
my gs 1150 wheelies of the trottle no clutch easy why need clutch on that and not even a long or high wheelie
