Holy shit, the 99.9% of the Tractor owners will NEVER ride it anything close to this, to its capabilities! It's not about the machine, its about the rider.
About 18 years ago I took my then newish R1150GS around the ‘Ring. I remember it was about 14 minutes - I’m still a shit rider. My strongest memory is being passed by a very nice 911 with father and young son. It was very clear the Dad was pointing out the lines to his son by the hand gesticulations and the skill level was very noticeable as he blistered past me and disappeared into the distance. Always a great place to visit
Absolutely brilliant mate I have just bought a 1250 gsa first one ever. Yeah an I am 55 😂. If any one tells me again there are a old man’s bike I will direct them to your video 😂
It baffles me that people with no skills make this type of statement as in old man bike. Too heavy for off-road but they always parked in Starbucks. I swear in the right hands any bike is a hooligan
I definitely regard the 1200/1250 as a real hooligan bike. You can scrape a knee, do a little jump, pop huge wheelies and stoppies, and generally hoon it. But stereotypes are more based around the people who buy them, than the actual mechanical abilities of the motorcycle. I loved mine.
@@btgmoto it definitely belongs on roads though. Road riding and offroad riding might as well be different vehicles entirely like planes and helicopters. I grew up racing dirtbikes in our woods and deserts here in the US. This much power and weight in loose unpredictable constant changing terrain is a broken hip or back waiting to happen for an experienced offroad rider. It has no business doing single track trails or crossing sand dunes. It is for gravel roads, and clay roads, dirt roads, and paved roads.
@@btgmoto65 next month, had my 1250GS for 4 years now. It’s a stunning piece of kit. No goatee beard, nor Starbucks this end. Bike probably gets hammered about as fast as my old KH250 in the summer of ‘76. I applaud your skills and the absolute joy you have a ragging the bike and demonstrating skills well beyond the average rider. Off round France next month on the bike so will see Europe and love it. UK is a very congested place to ride free. Enjoy 👍🏻👍🏻
Damn I've been looking for a long time for a biker that shares what audio devices they use. Your video is great and the audio is immaculate. Thanks and keep up the good work!
What did I just see? You are riding this huge machine like it's some 600cc superbike Also I don't remember seeing adventure bike pov of this track before. Loved it....
Thanks for that Dale. Reckon I'm too old to take up riding, but I'm starting to feel the freedom of 2 wheels and I've only ever experienced it on private property.
Amazing ride 😊👍 I have drive my 1250 gs on race tracks and even if i don,t have your skills i have realized how god and fast it is and how easely it takes on the curves and hold the line ,It,s allways fun to see how this amazing bike can compere to sportmotorcyckles.
When i first got my direct access i got a hornet moved to a rsv mille within months then gsxr then Kawasaki got a gs now love it they are great bikes love overtaking the dodderers on there sports bikes
Hey bud really enjoyed your video 😂 so good 👍 do you know what tyres you had on for the track day. I’d really like know. Thanks for all the great videos 😃
Awesome ride, spectacular sound! Looking forward to doing this myself later this year (already had a first encounter with the Nordschleife at Anlassen)
Hats off, what a fucking magnificent ride mate. Would kill to be at this track at sunset like this, don’t think I’d be able to keep up with you though 😂
I have the 1200 lc engine in the 1200rs, and seeing you accelerate throuh 140 when you shift into 6 makes me jealous. The difference in power in the higher revs between the 1200 and the 1250 is definitely noticable 😂 I cant go from 100 to 200 nearly as fast
Akrapovic slip-on, dealer-fit option, with the baffles out. Sorry, I know I answered you above, and put it in the description, but the algorithm is nagging me to answer this one too lol!
An old Swedish motorcycle journalist, used to live close to Nurburghring, I think he actually hosted some riding schools at the track, all on an old R80GS... Somebody correct me if im wrong on this...
Love the GS1250 mad lad bike. The bike loves to pop the front pooped the front like 3 or 4 times in 1 km and I NEVER do Wheelies I hope the 1300 will keep the hype. I have a 850 GSA I will get the 1300GS Not the GSA !! Perfect daily driver in eco mode
@@bishoymikheal Like any street tyres, they do have limits. They're a brilliant tyre for the first lap, but after that you have to manage the heat build-up, as you can/will rip up the tread real easy. That's presuming you're good/fast/aggressive enough to find the limits of a motorcycle on a racetrack. As for the wet... well... I've not ridden on anything better that wasn't a racing wet. They're really superb, on road and track.
@@btgmoto Thanks for the reply, good to hear that you also think they're really good in the wet. I'm planning on mounting them on an old 690 Duke that goes through a lot of Dutch rain and as you know isn't super powerful and I'm not that fast of a rider. Anyway thanks again!
Do you have data of lean angle, what is maximum angle that you reach with this bike? Some people showing me data with around 55 degres, but I don't belive that this bike can reach that. Thanks :)
@ahsisti i dont ride fast and i like relax riding aswell. i average 30-35k miles a year so going normal speed is better. its just my personal experience with GS riders is that they are extremely slow and sometimes very dangrouse. ive literally never seen someone go above 60mph on a GS maybe its where i live here in the UK but yeah 99% of my encounters have been exactly the same. i could say the same about harley riders. they all seem the same aswell.
@@mrpantur7280Yeah here in Germany it's mostly the same. Of corse some of those guys can ride, but most of the GS riders take their time like Harley riders. I have encountered 1 guy who was pretty fast and familiar with the road we where on. I was there doing my holidays and rode a few roads. He was from there and so I waved so he can pass. Afterwards I was able to copy his braking points, that was a really nice memory of a fast GS rider, the only I encountered so far
@@alexanderjanke1538 i see it all the time and i don't expect them to ride fast but here in the uk they don't even ride at or slightly below the speed limit. they go about 15-23 in a 30 zone and then at the lights they stall or sit there and pull away very slow so seeing one ride fast is impressive lol. i don't think bgtmoto was happy with my comment but its nice to see someone else has had the same experience as me when it comes to the GS owners.
In racing, I was never even close to pro. But I was a roadtester and journo for a good few years and have enjoyed riding and racing on tracks all over the world.

You couldn't be more wrong. Its absolutely about the bike as well. The GS is capable of many things.

Love the good old ripping and scrapings 💪
Me too!
I'm not sure what's more impressive, the bike or the rider. Wow.
The rider
the biker with this bike is funny
The sound of the boxer is very nice.
This is absolutely insane. Just love it. Hahaha
I just traded my S1000 XR for a R1250GS
This is one very, very impressive tractor motorbike 🙌🏻
50 seconds in and im already bamboozled by OP here doing a 150 wheelie on a tractor like its nothing 🥶
🤙
What a quality video mate. The bike, the perspective, the video clarity, the sound, the track, the commentary, just absolutely perfect. Keep it up 👍
Thanks a ton, glad you liked it!
@@btgmoto Quais pneus tem usado nesse vídeo? Pilotagem fantastica!
"Ooop, here goes the bag"
"OH NO!.. it was a sh*t wheelie..."
Priceless ride a commentary 😂
Perfect track knowledge and familiarity with the bike i'd say.
I've worked on this track for close to twenty years, it's my little playground :)
I LOVE my air/oil cooled 1200... Never "connected " to the 1250- Great ride!
Damn I've been looking for a long time for a biker that shares what audio devices they use. Your video is great and the audio is immaculate. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Quality mate, you’ve got some serious talent,..adventure bikes are the way to go, plenty fast enough, keep up the great job 👏
Thanks a ton! No talent tho, video makes me look fast 😅
The 1250GS is a great all round machine.
Can do anything!
Quite heavy tho
...but top end Price
Smooth, calm, controlled, knowledgeable. Well within capabilities. Enjoyable.👌👍🫡
What did I just see?
You are riding this huge machine like it's some 600cc superbike
Also I don't remember seeing adventure bike pov of this track before.
Loved it....
Thanks!
Love watching you ride its how imagine myself when I’m dreaming lol
Thanks for that Dale. Reckon I'm too old to take up riding, but I'm starting to feel the freedom of 2 wheels and I've only ever experienced it on private property.
You're never too old to do this - You will repent it one day ;)
cool lap, awesome footage, love the GS and the sound 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
that boxer engine sound, what a music. good riding too
The recording angle is perfect, it looks like a videogame!
This world is beautiful, this video is awesome and aesthetic
Thanks! Nothing like a twilight ride to feel extra fast. Thanks for the sub too!
Nice lap! Always astonishing how capable the bike is in experienced hands! I would never dare to be this fast with my BMW K1200R Sport.
The GS is better for this sorta thing. I had an 06K12R and I hated the servo brakes and I was never able to pull a wheelie with it.
Thanks! 👍
Man that was beautiful
How can u be this fast and relaxed, very very impressive!
Thank you very much!
Legend! Glad to see a very capable bike piloted by a very talented rider! Awesome video man!
Thanks!
Very nice ! and then you go out for a nice breakfast on Sunday doing 120 on the highway in road mode.
Jeez, I've a new GSA too and who'd thought it could do this .. brilliant pal...😂
Nice wheelie ! .......the one at the start 🙂
Didn't know this can be done 🔥

Yep, it's a really good motorcycle, regardless of what styling it has, or who buys it. I also have some videos here from the GP track.
When i first got my direct access i got a hornet moved to a rsv mille within months then gsxr then Kawasaki got a gs now love it they are great bikes love overtaking the dodderers on there sports bikes

I doubt it, but thanks for the compliment!

Nice shot doing a wheelie out of the Carousel!
Martin Stollenwerk took the photo. He practically lives on that corner.
Damn you’re fast. Cool video!
That looks scarely fast.
Awesome ride, spectacular sound! Looking forward to doing this myself later this year (already had a first encounter with the Nordschleife at Anlassen)
Brilliant driver 😮
Glorious Looking Evening
Jesus what a rider
Impressive. Have you done a lap on a Multistrada for comparison?
I haven't, but I'd love to! On the last video, I nearly got to ride the V4RS, but we ran out of time.
Buenas manos, si señor !!✌
Aaaaaah and relax,simply lovely 👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hats off, what a fucking magnificent ride mate. Would kill to be at this track at sunset like this, don’t think I’d be able to keep up with you though 😂
Ducati Multistrada……Simply the best
Well, I test-rode one, but I didn't buy one. So that's your opinion, but not mine.
Love reading the negative Norman comments about the GS, they are the best bike at doing everything.
That was awesome 🤩
Hey, awesome riding. What tires do you use? i ride 1250gsa and i am changing my off road tires for a good on road set. Any recommendations?

the scenery on your video. is that evening or in dawn? or is it on sunset?
Sunset, really late in the day here. That's 7.15pm in October

We need a link to that phone holder, this is the best commercial for it.
Great stuff as usual!
Thanks!
what kind of tires you have on the gs?
Dunlop Mutants
Bro you're completely insane lol 😂😂😂
Thanks for the compliment, Mr Sanity! :P
what camera do you use bro? the view is spectacular
DJI Osmo 3
If that blue pill can't get you up you're doomed man.
Great ride.
Thanks!
Crazy!❤❤❤
What tires were you running on the GS?

When I move over there I'm going to have you drag me round the Ring too. Do you have a Grom in your stable? ;)
The throttle goes both ways 🤣
Pretty cool lighting
Twilight laps are the best
Tire? Pirelli ? Model please?
What have you switched off to get it to wheelie?
Mine is very reluctant. 😢
Traction control, and Dynamic Pro
@@btgmoto Thanks. Will try harder!!!
Great video! What tyres have you got on?
Dunlop Mutants
Nice Video a bit to dark is it on purpose?
Yeah it really was twilight, and I was trying to save the beautiful sky
Me before this Video: GS? It´s only for old men. After this Vid: WTF take my money!
man I need to do this one time this year....
I'm here, whenever you're ready
whart camera and setting u use?

I would take an old GSXR 1100 With Flat, Cyclone 4-2-1, Stage 3 Yoshi Camshaft and Gasket Kit. From 1990
how i feel leaning 5° with my 125cc
J adore ces moteurs...
Do you have data of lean angle, what is maximum angle that you reach with this bike? Some people showing me data with around 55 degres, but I don't belive that this bike can reach that. Thanks :)
Datalogger does say 54-55 on the racetrack, but I wouldn't trust it 😅
56 is kinda max (at least for me)
I doubt he has universal tyres on, if he does he is gamer than me.🇦🇺
Your not typical GS-Rider😂great vid
Any concerns about deer or other critters at dusk.
Less here than on the road, as we have FIA fences all around the track... BUT when they do get on, they can't get off, and accidents do still happen.
Viseo ahould be called "Waiting for Tim"..
Fuck 1:18 that wheelie ! Awesome rider skills
Wich tires is he on?
Which tires are you using? Thanks

Never judge a bike by it's demographic!

Buy a cheap one, because if you worry about scratching it, you can't really enjoy. That's my advice.
