- BMW R1200 RS Test ride review.
Me thrashing around on the back of a feisty Bavarian. What could possibly go wrong?...
NB. Pinch of salt warnings:
1. This bike has no DCT system. It's actually just a quick shifter "Shift Assist Pro" at an extra cost of €400. As such the bike DOESN'T actually weigh any more with this option. the only thing that is affected is the weight of your wallet!
2. The 'Ring Of Distraction' is the control for the GPS. I found this out after returning the bike so no need to tell me! ;D

Nice, pragmatic, amusing and helpful review. I terminated my Ducati ST2 a couple of years back and thought my motorcycling days were over but this one is calling me back. Can't wait to test ride one next week. Thanks and keep up the good work!
+Chris Doc Cheers Chris. Sorry to hear about the Ducati. Hope you enjoyed the test ride (I'm guessing you bought it!?)
I had to postpone my test ride four months ago as I was taken into hospital. I've had major cardiac surgery but this week, after a long and still continuing recovery, finally, took my test ride. Wow!! What a joy to be alive!!
Another great AMC vid,missed you my faceless friend.
+Hedge hog Thank you dearly old bean. I to have missed your hoggedy hedge.
Fun vlog! added to the amusement your Naïveté with BMW’s R1200 line... no DCT here... chuckling...
Thanks! Yeah that's embarrassing. Though more so that a BMW salesman told me that a DCT system was in there! 😂 Still, I'm the one left looking silly!
Fab review! Going on Saturday to try one out for the second time hopefully. I will not be held responsible for returning with said vehicle...at least that's what I told the missus ;) keep up the great work, awesome video yet again!
+Rocko Protea Thanks! So did you return with the aforementioned tremendous machine?!
You do very good reviews. Not many people have the gift
Thanks very much Greg. Really nice to hear! Hope to bring you lots more!
As usual AMC, informative and lots of smiles, well played sir.
+Scorpion-moto Thank most muchly S-M.
Great work as always matey.
+Fibroboy Thanks mate. Cheers for watching!
I have the R1200R Sport (white/red version) and its by far the best bike i've owned. It looks great, fast enough and so much fun in the twisties.
+The Sunseeker That i can fully believe. It was one of the highlights of my riding career so far. So torquey and refined. I liked it a lot!
Nice review pal, and subbed. Just picked up a 2013 G650gs myself and im loving it, just what I was after :)
+ThatBM Guy Thanks! And cheers for the sub. Hope i keep your attention despite the lack of BMW moving forward (for now, at least!) How you're enjoying yours though! I've still yet to plant myself atop a GS. Soon...
its good pal thanks, I got a 2013, 10k miles one in mint con with panniers etc, works great just need to set up the shocks for my fat ass lol
+ThatBM Guy Glad to hear it. Always seems the best way to buy! They come with all the toys at little extra cost then! I've got my shocks 'about right' but dare not mess any more! It's a dark art and in search of that extra 30% i could just as easily ruin everything! Good luck with yours though! 😉
The boxer twin is smooth because it is the only twin configuration in which the piston/rod pairs counterbalance each other AND you have an evenly-spaced firing order.
+Fjdy1jd1 And there you have it! The science which i sadly didn't have to include in the video! Surprising that nobody else tries it. Must be expensive to develop or manufacture perhaps? I was very pleasantly surprised i must say. Cheers!
And a very very very boring firing order. Same as 360º parallel twins.
it also has a balancer in the engine - smoothest BM I have ever owned
No, not a DCT gearbox as you mentioned at the beginning of your review. It has a quick shifter. Very different animals.
Read the description. First rule of TH-cam club.
Dude. The funny knob on the end of the grip is you.
Ahahahahahaaaa! Easily the funniest comment this year!! 🤣🤣🤣 🙌🏻
@@AndyManCam and this year!
At least we think you're funny ...looking 😎
As long as something about the videos is entertaining!! 😂
For a lovely chap that lives in Germany and might potter home to the UK occasionally, this seems like the perfect bike to me. :D
+Shropshire Lad I agree! Maybe with a high seat and the standard bars off of the R1200R to make it 100% perfect!
I really like your reviews. It seems you can perfectly explain every spec and detail, to understandable and practical language.
+RiderontheStorm1992 Thanks very much. Thats good news indeed! Glad to be making videos that are actually useful!
The round twisty thing on the handlebar is to control the BMW Sav Nav. Nice vid matey.
+Count Miffed Cheers CM. I figured that out when i got hold of the R1200R for the follow up.
Was great to have a ride review pop up on my subs from you! Extra points for not immediately falling in love with it simply because it's a BMW. Also, did I hear you mistake the Versys for the Phaser or is there a new horse in the stable?
+Grant Powers Thanks Grant. I try to keep it real and show the rough along with the excitingly smooth! I was going nobody noticed that nostalgia slip up! I meant Versys. Unfortunately no new wheels in the compound just yet!
"A motorbiker's chew toy." That made me spit my beer. BWHAHAHAHA!!!
+saddle8bag We all need entertainment on those long motorway slogs!
Great test Andy, best regards from the Harz Mountains
+simon fuller Thanks Simon! I'll be coming through your way in August!
Call in Andy, I'm in Bad Grund
+simon fuller My route has me riding from Goslar to Osterode am Harz mid morning time, a week Thursday. Schedule is a bit tight for detours, but if you fancy joining asking the way?
I'm 10 mins from Osterode. PM me for my telephone number and we'll meet up
Hey Simon. Don't seem to be presented with any ability to send you a personal message. No link on your channel/page thingy.
You never disappoint! When are you back in blighty?
+Pedz Cheers Dude. Looks like i might be around for a little bit in June/July. Might even make to the spicy sausage fest. Maybe.
Cheers Andy,
"Filtering, filtering,
Filtering I like.
Filtering, filtering,
Thank God this is no trike!"
+addictedtopiano Haha! There must be about 700 verses by now! Tally Bally Ho!
Great Review. Thanks
+Idaho Rider Thanks for watching IR!
Fantastic work AMC. As per. You might be doing a very different sort of vlog soon. Something moto-auto-biographical perhaps ? I'll keep you posted. If you're up for it, that is -
+vitaly deuterium Merci beaucoup! Definitely keep me posted mate. I'm open to anything in principle! (That's what she said)
About a month back I walked into a dealer to look at the GS Adventures, the F800 and the big boy too. You'll fit really well on those, you may want to try a 1200 GS for laughs, the ergos are more what you are used to.
I've wanted a plain naked BMW twin for 30yrs, but they simply are too small. So I checked the R1200R and it was too small as expected, jumped on the RS and oddly (not being sport bike oriented) it was really calling me, but it is simply too small for me (37" inseam). Really nice quality finish about it. If they could arrange it with the roominess of a 1200 GS/Adventure, I'd be in.
The Moto Guzzi big twins have that same torque shift to them when you rev them too, they pull to one side.You might find the Stelvio an interesting ride in the massive mile eater category.
+Chris Esser I'm desperate to hit the Stelvio Pass. I was supposed to have done it already! I really like the look and the roominess of the GS's. I just haven't even entertained the thought as the costs are simply to unreachable! Maybe a higher seat and some bar risers could go some way to make an R1200 fit. If i had the cash, I'd certainly be considering it! Guzzi would be nice to but i have this strange phobia of Italian electrics!
Top spec has cruise control and the twiddly wheel on the left is for the satnav.
Yeah I figured that out eventually! Bit annoyingly placed for my tastes! Cruise control is always a nice touch!
You should have tried an RS with bar risers. I had the same pain in tha ar..., äääh, back. But the Voit bar risers (30 mm up, 21 mm back) made the seating position perfect!!!
I did! The R1200R! ;D But they had to swap the plastics to afford the risers! I loved the R1200R, so I can fully imagine that it would be awesome!
Loved it Andy many thanks
+Sky Rider Thanks for checking it out! I kind of enjoyed making it so we're all even ;)
Just to point out, this bike has an adjustable seat which goes as low as 760mm which for short legged angry dwarves like me is bloody brilliant!!!
+Turbotez ! The dude in the garage told me it wasn't adjustable but you could specify a different height (at a cost). Of course this is all in a foreign language so maybe he was telling me about his toast collection. Who knows!
it is NOT adjustable - but there are 4 different height models available
great looking bike however, bc of the riding position {too sporty for my style} for a 6'1" person, I switched to 1200GS. very nice review!
+Becker Inal Thanks Becker. Yeah I found it very much the same. Lovely bike, but too uncomfortable. Now if I could put flat, wide bars on this bike, maybe raise the seat 20mm and move the pegs down a smidge, we might well be looking at my perfect bike!
The wobbly bit on the handlebar is to control the GPS unit.Have a look on Missenden flyers video,he describes it in detail.
+ChegsOn2Wheels Yeah i was a little slow on the uptake with that one. Bit of a fail on the sales chaps part in my opinion for not taking me through all the twiddles and trinkets!
Andy Man Cam If that was me,the sales people would have to repeat it 100 times before I remembered it word for word....in about 20 years time :)
+ChegsOn2Wheels maybe he'd had a few such encounters before me and simply wanted rid of me! He practically bunged the keys across the room at me!
Highly entertaining and informative sir. Any plans to try out a GS? Better suited for the taller chap?
+Rob Mayor Cheers Rob. I'd love nothing more to have a little spin on a GS. They're definitely more my size of machine! Sadly I'll have to wait a little while til they forget what i look like at the BMW dealership! :D
great review especially in light of your perspective coming from a Fazer 1000 like myself. Tough to swallow the price consider that I could buy 2 Fazer for the price of the Beemer.
+Robert Polkamp Thanks Robert! The boxer twin really is a big change from an online 4. Beautiful torque characteristics. But agreed. Price sadly always plays a big part. But then who needs 2 bikes anyway! ;)
True... 😁
Great video, entertaining as usual!
Comparing this bike to the Versys1000 that you test-drove earlier, how would you compare it in terms of performance/comfort? Can you even compare both motorcycles?
+Ghyslain Brazeau Thanks G. I think they have much in common. Both great engines and comfy. The BMW felt more pokey but the Versys seemed more flickable and lively. Comfort wise, the versys was much more relaxed and more my style with higher and wider bars. BMW had the better seat as it didn't slant forward. Also the screen on the Versys was much worse than the BMW's. Finally of the 2 the Versys has by far the smoothest engine. And don't forget the Versys is €5000 cheaper!! :D
Great vid Andy, are you planning any trips this year?
+Gra Ward Thanks Gra! I've got a little work in the UK again this year, so hoping for a little around that. But sadly no pleasure trips planned as yet. Might have to start a gofundme campaign to finally get to il passo della stelvio! #MakeAWish
+Andy Man Cam Well if you're planning a meet or ride out when you're over in the UK, let me know. Hope your Dads recovery is still going well.
+Gra Ward I will do mate and thanks. He's doing better than ever cheers!
Nice review Andy, if I had to have a twin that would fit nicely........but I'd still rather have a triple for a soundtrack 😬👍🏻
+ninjanelly350 Thanks mate. It was about as smooth as I've known a twin. Even the V in the V-Strom. And with a lot more grunt too it seemed. Can't blame you on the triple noise though! :D
great video mate, do you know if the 2018 model will have new changes? like hp, dashboard, etc.
+pietro ramiti Thanks Pietro. Im afraid i have no idea. Sorry.
It's not just you with the shin problem. I swore several times when trying out an old 1200C. I don't know what model BMW use for seat/bar/peg positioning but I know it doesn't look much like me.
+Professor Probably doesn't look a lot like either of us! There aren't that many that seem to fit me great! Not that i can afford/want anyway!
You said the wind noise was a problem because of your height, how tall are you?
+Murray I'm 6'4", 193cm.
+Andy Man Cam Same here, it's always useful to hear opinions from taller riders about slightly sportier bikes. Thanks for the reply!
+Murray No problem mate. Happy to help. They don't seem to make many bikes for folks of our stature!
good review, but i was distracted by that cool jacket!!! make/model??
Thanks!! The jacket is sadly so old that you can’t get it any more. It was a Richa AVS.
The ring at the bar is for controlling the bmw navigator (gps) :)
+Verne White Cheers a Verne. I figured that out but sadly too late for this review.
+Andy Man Cam no problem :)
Great review Andy :) I know you couldn't take it on any twisties, but did you get the impression it has much of a 'fun' factor as well as practicality? I live on the Isle of Man, though I'm not an adrenaline junkie it'd be good to know if it has a playful side and can take corners well enough
Thanks Laura. ABSOLUTELY!! It felt extremely light and nimble and I think it would have NO trouble in the twisties. It really is a beautifully engineered bike.
Uhm, there's no DCT or double clutch in this bike. Just a very good quickshifter.
+SauRoNZA I'm going to start putting a disclaimer at the start of videos like +Schaaf does. "Read the description" ;p
+Andy Man Cam my bad mate. First time watching one of your videos and iPad doesn't show description by default.
+SauRoNZA Ah yes, of course. Then my bad for being a grumpy plonker! I hate when i get stuff WAY wrong in a video! It's a shame you can't chop the nonsense out and keep the views! 😂 Luckily i realised that before i waffled the same nonsense in the R1200R video! In my defense though, either the salesman told me some untruths, or i wildly misunderstood his german!!

Maybe the salesman told you about the DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) 😁
This was an extremely enjoyable review Andy! I hope you get to ride the African Twin soon!
+Greg got away Thanks Greg. Me too. It's the first bike in ages I've gotten really excited about!
The nob on the left is for the optional GPS, not an alternative for playing with your testicles. Though that is a good idea to add on. As usual, very entertaining and a lot of laughs.
+CNCycle I'd hate to think what BMW would charge for a testicle fiddling extra! Thanks dude. Ride thee safe!
+oldmanwitherspoon Haha! A thumpy single. The best vibrator designed by man! I'm surprised more ladies don't have those things. But then again, the accident rate would probably climb. Along with the ER staff's confusion at the amount of Jane Doe's coming in with big smiles on their faces!!
excellent review! You are the only person that showed the under-seat storage, very important
The R1200r is a peach. I test rode one and loved it. A little bit of ground clearance issues as it is easy for the pegs to touch down. Apart from that and the price it is wonderful.
So whats the score? You get a new bike or what?
+Andrew Spooner Haha! Not yet I'm afraid :( all still just in the name of science and sharing! I didn't get anywhere near grounding the pegs, but did you see the width of those chicken strips! ! :D
Not sure how you persuaded Terence Stamp to do the intro
+Sullybiker Haha! I have NO idea what was going on with my voice on that day! :O
It's not DCT, it's Gear Assist Pro in BMW parlance, a quickshifter to you and I.
+theloudbloke I guess i probably should have read the brochure when i was waiting for the guy to bring the bike around, but i was too excited! I think there was some misinformation from the salesman too. I'm sure he said double clutch and i ran with it! He also told me the keyless start was €400 when it's actually advertised as €260 in the brochure. No idea where i got 1500 for the quickshift from though. That's only €400 odd extra. Bargain!
+Andy Man Cam No worries, I'm looking for a 1200RT at the moment, so self-confessed BM nut. I have another question which I hope you can give an answer to... Does the Sony Action Cam give the possibility to 'mark' the video, to make it easier to find a piece of film when you vlog or do you have to search through it all at editing? Does that make sense?
+theloudbloke Yes and no. It has a loop feature which eventually overwrites the SD card once it's full, and you can 'hard save' a clip by stopping recording. So when something happens you stop recording and it saves the last 5/10/15 minutes depending on your setting. But you also then lose everything else when the card fills up. A top tip i got ages ago was to simply cover the lens with your hand for 5-10 seconds when something happens. That way you can wizz through the footage and stop when the screen goes black. Sometimes lo-tech is the best tech!
+Andy Man Cam Great advice thanks. Keep up the good work by the way, great review on the RS. Would love pne on the RT, to confirm my decision is correct!!
Hi Andy, I'm considering buying one of these and a friend pointed me at your video - glad I did. Funny, useful info, and well edited. Cheers. Are there any other videos you've done that might be relevant for me to look at? (EG Versys, XR, Af Twin?)
Hi HR, thanks ver much. And cheers to your mate for the referral! Might be worth having a quick look through the test rides playlist- th-cam.com/play/PLQyyGnBe8LfeOEsYNS9knbb1zlIqNSsaL.html . Theres a Versys 1000, a V-Strom 1000 and a Tiger 800 in there might be of interest? Sadly no Africa Twin yet!
the shift assistant only costs 500 euro, not 1000+, well, only is relative, but I think its worth 500 ;) cheers
Bargain!! 😜
Hey stranger. As I probably know the least about bikes of anyone in the comms, I'll say I like your jacket. :] The road lanes seem to be a bit wider than the UK's....do you agree? You did leave me curious as to what you 'thraping' the bike would have looked like. later, sir, & thanks.
+2ForFlinching Thank you very much m'dear! Tis a fetching number isn't it! I would agree. There is a fair bit more space over here. Not as many twisty lanes up here in northern germania though sadly. The thraping will have to wait for another video! ;)
OK. I know you are a 6.4 monster.. But we are seriously thinking of swapping the Versys for one of these. I am 5.10 and Blonde is 5.4 we are finding the versys too tall. I honestly can't think of another sporty bike that does 2 up as well as this looks like it does. what do you recon. Swap or stay with Versys. ??
+A Brit A Blonde A Bike That's a toughie mate. Though no denying that the BMW is a bit smaller and lighter. Plus the motor is sublime so performance wise I think you'll be satisfied. Also with a few inches less, is quite likely the screen will suit you just fine too. 2 fabulous bikes, no doubt. You'll have to swing your legs over one and see how it feels.
I did. It's a nice bike. But made the mistake of also testing the s1000xr. Oh dear. Looks like a visit to the bank manager is required.
A Brit A Blonde A Bike what are your thoughts on the Versys and which do you have 650 or 1000?
hi mate. we love the Versys 1000. I should say loved. As we just got rid of it. it's an amazing bike. and great for the money. If you spend a bit more you can find better. so it's, like everything, it depends on budget.
Did you replace with the XR?
that is one sexy ride!
+vac0002 Hells yes it is! Little sporty for my lanky frame, but hot as tits nonetheless!
I looked at one of these over my Versys 1000. But them horrible bars on the back for the saddle bags. what's that all about.
+A Brit A Blonde A Bike I assumed those bars were an extra. If not, they'd be gathering dust on a shelf within minutes of purchasing! Or better yet, ebay fodder!
+Andy Man Cam Yea but if Kawasaki can design a system that doesn't need them surely BMW can. and good old Kwaka is a about a million Dollars cheaper. Lol.
+A Brit A Blonde A Bike Agreed. Silly to have all the tech wizadry and then saddle bags designed by Noahs chief engineer.
Lol, subscribed! Had fun watching the video.
Thanks NR. glad to hear it!
Cool. Is this Canada? Not definitely UK (riding on the right), though the guy sounds English. I will be test riding a 1200RS and a 1200GS next week ;-)
+Krish Mohan Cheers Chris. It's in northern Germania. I'm a Brit living a little way from home! Enjoy the GS. I'd like a blast on one of those one day!
Only had off-road bikes and scooters. Is there anything other than the difficulty in balance that would deter someone from getting this as a first street bike? Not keen on dropping it with the engine sticking it out :) How tall are you ? This layout seems totally loaded. I don't like the keyless thing... I have enough wireless pollution in my life I like to get away from it when I can... don't want to be trapped on a bike with bluetooth and wireless emitters unless it only sends signals at certain points.
+Carmelo Santini To be completely fair to the bike, it was beautifully balanced and felt very light. The side movement was very small and you can very quickly get used to it. The potruding cylinder heads would definitey be a concern area for me as a seasoned rider so more so as a new rider. Engine bars would be a necessity otherwise even the smallest off could prove very costly indeed! I think you can opt to go without all the wireless trickery. On cost grounds alone i personally would take this bike in its most basic form. Apparently it is still a quite fantastic machine even without all the toys.
Ah that's nice, thank you for the reply. In other reviews I've heard that it's very easy to turn in and stable except that at slow speeds it's a bit more cumbersome than a standard (obviously)
Jesus. I almost choked myself do death luaghing. You have to be more carefull, man XD
Laughter is what’s good! You live and learn eh?!
WD-40 is what's needed on that screens joints, the ring at the bar bla bla bla you know. BMW's do seem v v nice but the mechanic I go to says they breakdown a helluva lot. Is it direct?
It seems like it's quite smooth to ride considering it's torquey.
+sixmiffedy It was quite direct actually. But yes, very smooth as long you're smooth on the throttle. I had a few jerky moments from just wacking it open/shut. It's easy to get used to though and a real pleasure to ride after that.
I've always liked the idea of a shaft-drive bike compared to a chain, mainly because I'm a lazy bastard.
HI Andy. Do you know if it's possible, to adapt a USB cable, too fit on a motorcycle, so you can charge your phone. keep on bike. d;-)
+Andrew Hoggan Hey Andrew. You can. But you need a transformer because the bike is 12v and USB is around 5v. Best to buy something ready made with a fused connection though. I have one of these on my Versys. amzn.to/1rc0u8o
Loved the video and review, Andy! That ring on the left handlebar (that seemed to do nothing) is to adjust stuff on the digital display.
Not a fan of BMW shaft drives, though, as I have heard far to many horror stories surrounding them..
+Sunfrancks Thanks! I can understand the concern. I've heard a few shockers too. But tbh I've heard far more tails of woe (and cost) surrounding chains! I think for every destroyed shaft there's been a 1000 knackered chains!
How can you "review" a bike when you know so little about it? You don't even appear to know what half the controls do!
It's a first look/first ride kind of affair. I get a very short time with the bike and in my opinion the most important thing is just the impression of riding the bike. If the controls aren't easy to operate with little or no instruction then the designers have dropped the ball, in my opinion. Plus I ride the bikes for myself, and I am in no position to have any of the extra bells and whistles so I'd rather not waste any time on them!
The spiky ring operates the SatNav.
Had her for a day. Great bike, shit screen.
+Phil Tonic DE Agreed! A fine Bavarian Pferd!
I'd love to see a review from you on a "Ahamay" FJR 1300. Thanks for your really amusing and informative videos. I'd subscribe twice if there was a second button.
I'd like to see that too!! I actually rode one a long while ago when my stepdad had one. Though TBH I'd rather try an XJR 1300! ;D
So does it have a dual clutch transmission and a quick shifter or just the dual clutch transmission?
+Quagmire88 As far as i know this one just had the DCT. So downshifts still weren't super smooth as there was no throttle blippage going on. Come to think of it, downshifts without clutch even with DCT are probably unrecommended!
+Andy Man Cam there's no dual clutch transmission. BMW doesn't make one, but Honda does. It's Shift Asssist Pro, if fitted, allows for clutchless up and down shifts within certain gears and rpm ranges.
it is NOT DCT - it just has a quick shifter - but you only use it from 2nd or 3rd up ....use the clutch ( also very light and smooth ) to change 1/2 or even to 3rd and no problems.
My brand new acquisition for few days ☺
Congratulations! Great bike, enjoy!!
@@AndyManCam thanks 😊
💪🏻👍🏻
Andy im thinking about buying it.....How tall are u?
I'm 6'4" Antonio. Thats 192cm I think. With some bar risers, I think the bars would have been much better for me.
great vid mate. how tall are you?
Thanks Vedran! I'm about 194cm
Nice report.
I am thinking of swapping my 2013 Z1000SX for the Iconic version of this. What do you think? And I am no spring chicken.
Absolutely. It was a fabulous bike. The riding position felt a little cramped for me, but I'm 6'4". But even despite that it was very comfortable and an absolute joy to ride.
DCT.... Really?! On a BMW? Which planet are you on?
The planet where the BMW salesman told me the bike had a dual clutch system, in German, not my first language. Thanngyaverrymush.
Ahhh. Ok. Probably explaines the clutch-lever as well :)
Anti shin model.
+Brazzan Anti money model too! $$$ :D
Would be a better review with a less childish reviewer.
+Gareth Carruthers But then it would be a different review. Idiot.
The review wasn't too bad, but the language was pathetic, I lost count of the number of bad boys
Go and watch somebody else's videos then. Simple. Your statement is like saying "This omelette would be great, if it didn't taste of eggs...". Don't need the attitude mate.
"Bum dyno"; LMAO!
+Fjdy1jd1 We've all got one, some more accurate than others. (Some more smelly too!)
...I hope testing motorcycles isn't the career choice you've made for yourself... Enough said.
+hankgs I think there's lots more to be said. Please do elaborate the need for such a comment. If you could also state your credentials that have earned you the right to dismiss my observations and opinions, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
+hankgs I tried to reply to your last comment but accidently deleted it, if you could repost the link for the benefit of anybody else reading that would be great. Anyway, you clearly didn't watch my whole video because the core of both of our videos is essentially the same and we both say a lot of the exact same stuff! Except I feel that my videos is actually more entertaining! Most of the important stuff with bikes is the experience and the emotion of it all, not the numbers. You can get all of the spec nonsense from the BMW website but they can't honestly tell you how the bike rides. In summary, I do hope that reviewing youtube videos isn't a career choice that you've made for yourself. Good day!!
I wan't one!
+Neil Burton You and me both pal! Maybe we could share one? Shotgun weekends!!
+Andy Man Cam I might even consider letting you ride my beautiful Italian girl....I mean Guzzi as a swap
+Neil Burton Now that WOULD be a treat!
