Great film. Old beemers used to love a rear-wheel lock-up. I remember a test-ride on an R1100S, I left a dual carriageway fast and used engine-braking on the slip road, all of a sudden I was sideways. Pulled the clutch in quickly and the bike straightened up - to my great relief! I guess a slipper-clutch makes this just a momentary thing nowadays.
When you’re tracking those big cruisers, you really need to hang off a lot to get the corner speeds up. You can leave up to 50% corner speed if you don’t.
How would you. ride the R18 on a track?
No, thank you.
K1600 all the way!
😁👍
Thanks for sharing your experience, it's always a pleasure to discover the bikes you already tested on the road, but this time on the circuit!
Great show would been fun seeing the scooter around the track.
Dave camera work has improved 👍
He knows what happens otherwise :D
Found your channel today. Love it, and how you speak about the bikes. Well done!

You're having too much fun there, I want to do that too
Great soundtrack selection. I need to get my Scrambler 1200 onto a track.
Those were separate thoughts, but the way.
XR is the ultimate multipurpose bike ❤

This was fun. 😁
Looks like a blast 😊
You cannot wheelie, but can scrape the foot peg on the tarmac!
Is that racetrack in the middle of a corn field?
Correct, correct and it's literally in the middle of nowhere, far away from everything goo.gl/maps/kuBa3FPgDTrEZc646
@@LongWayHome no annoying neighbours. 😂
Great quality video!
You should have tried K1600 GT to see how fast it is on the straight. 🤣👌
I want the RT. 🏍️
Is that 160 m/hr or km/hr on the r18?
boet, where have you been!!!
How come with the r1250 you go with 185 km/h on the streight and with the 1000xr you go only with 160 km/h?
Fuel economy
@@LongWayHome😂😂😂😂
R1250 still the king, isn't it?!
