Thanks!
Damn mate thank you for the contribution! Appreciate that 😳🙏❤️
I found your channel from the Royal Enfield video and watched every single video of yours. Your sense of humour is amazing, and I love your bike shenanigans on the road. I hope to see more of your amazing work.
Also would love to see some Uncle Smokey vlogs. ♥
Welcome aboard champ!! I'm just being myself trying to have some fun in life....😅
1390 super adventure hopefully on the cards some year soon
Was great hearing the ups and downs of being a motorcycle journalist, sorry about the frustrations leading to you picking up this gs, but I can't wait to see you unbox and review an Africa twin🥳
This Friday.....gonna be EPIC! And ride the same bike in Spain to. Can't wait 😳🙏
Smokey this is good bike model to drive😊
My last 3 bikes have been BMWs, have never owned a KTM, tempted with a 1290SAS at some point.
Mine is scheduled for build week 20 ..same colour 😁
They need to give you a cover for GPS prep.
I just got myself new r1250gs adventure fully loaded on 2.9% apr loan by BMW which give me £199 per month was no brainer offer. I test ride both r1300gs and r1250gs and for some reason r1250gs adv was feel more appealing even with those scasffoling attached 😂b😂😂😂😂
Long ride bike with a little bit of off-road, Ducati V4 Rally
Did that option 719 suffer from shrinkflation on the GS1300? Doesn't seem near as profound or nice as the option on the GSA's. I could be wrong.
Whoa.... Top box? How did you get the top box? Did they find a fix for the recall? Should I call my dealer to finally get mine?
I posted this bike on my socials with the top box. Friend sends me message saying I need to be careful with that top box! I laughed and was like why? He sends me a picture with his top box in 1000 pieces. And a video of him picking up everything that was inside his topbox on a bridge over the highway 😂. Flew off exploding throwing his stuff everywhere haha. Have that video in one of my next videos. I believe when I bring the GS back video 😂
Hey do with continental GT 650 (unboxing video)
What’s the warning ⚠️ light on your dash saying ? Carl 🇬🇧
LightS to be honest , ecu problem , low tire pressure front , low tire pressure rear , key battery low , cruise control....and some more haha. When I bring back the BMW M1000RR video I'm picking my KTM back up. Then I start it up and show all the warning in that video haha
I've spent the last few weeks visiting many different dealerships. KTM/Husqvarna, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki in Myrtle Beach SC. A BMW, Ducati dealer in Charleston SC. The Royal Enfield dealership I bought my Himalayan which also sells Triumph and Indian motorcycles. I did look at a brand New 24 Triumph Rally and Sport 900/1200 yesterday. I'm looking to travel long distances this summer . My Himalayan will not handle the speeds of American highways. After watching all of your videos ( yrs, I'm home from a work injury for the last 10+ months and I did like every one of them and subscribe) my choice is going to be a new Husqvarna Nordon 901 . Not the Expedition, but the black/yellow you showed. It has hard Paniers, and it's on clearance (23 model) for $12,500 complete. The Triumph would be my second choice, but it's $5k more and no luggage. I have looked at a BMW GS1200 , but I like the Husqvarna Nordon maintenance schedule. I like the comfort and the smaller screen. Your video's have influenced me in my last Himalayan purchase. I hope your sponsors read some of these comments, because you do sell some of these bikes. Most people go onto TH-cam to watch videos like yours to decide.
I don't have any sponsors 😅. I try to be as real as possible when maning my reviews haha. Thanks for watching and giving your opinion , I appreciate that a lot! 😉🙏
Hard choice so to see, not a problem I have...
Its sounds really hard but I think its the hill you need to climb. I think you are right in the moment from playing break even to make money and get employees. You will get there, look how fast the channel is growing. I think you sould get some advice from other youtubers on making a business deal with brands etc. For example, standard sponsors like the camera you are using, I want to know...and I think many more people want to know. I think a guy motobob good this all figured out...he seems like a streamlined youtube channel with good brand awareness.
Good luck smokey, I think i follow since half a year now...maybe even longer. You will get there :D
Hey Boris thank you so much! Well I have been doing TH-cam for over 12 years , I know all about brand deals and making extra money on the side. I just don't always like to support other brands as I don't stand behind them 100%. I already had an Insta 360 breaking down after 2 weeks of using , multiple Go Pro's have failed on me , different Cardo communication systems have failed multiple times when using them with my best friends. I just don't want to take some money out of my subscribers pockets making them buy products that break down when I'm using them :-)
@@LifeofSmokey I can only respect your honesty 🙏 bedankt en nogmaals succes 🍀
Ahaaaa nu zenk benieuwd
Ride it like you stole it! Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
That could be your Smokey Bubbles tag line. 😂
🍻🍻🍻
Good one! 😂😂😂
Still thinking about my slogan tho 😅🙈
Will Smokey bubbles work on cars and bikes 😀 here’s hoping so.
Cars , bikes , boats , bicycles to even your mother in law :-)
Smokey, the Aprilia RS 457
Unboxing it soon :-)
@@LifeofSmokey 🤩🤩
What happened to you purchasing the RS ?
I'm a motorcycle journalist/content creator/TH-camr. Sometimes I buy motorcycles but I'm working with most big brands now so I don't have to buy anything anymore 😅🙈
@@LifeofSmokey great answer
BMW 1250 GS
you got a top case?
Yes I do , for my toilet paper 😁
@@LifeofSmokeyha! I’m still waiting die to the stop sell order.
@@GroovBirdin my next video or the video where I bring the GS back I'm talking about it. Good friend his topcase went flying. And he recorded himself picking up his luggage. Video was so funny I have it in my video soon as well. Think it's the "bringing back the 1300GS" video coming next week or something 😂
my neighbour
What are you on? 😵💫
The name of this video is such a clickbait!
Thank you but no thank you Uncle Smokey! 😢😅
Part 2 is" riding the GS home" so I thought the first title would be "picking it up" because well...I am picking it up right? haha sorry bud doing my best here
@@LifeofSmokey i know you are 💪
You da men, keep it coming We appreciate it 🙏🏻
whaaaaaat they have m as demo bikes!!!???????
Sorry, Smokey, normally you have really great videos. This was 25 minutes of talking and one minute of a bike! What happened??
Sorry about that , title might have been misleading will adjust that...
I had the opportunity to test it. It's completely not worth the price. Definitely worse than the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S
I wouldn’t buy it but your opinion about the price and being worse than the ktm is questionable. They are priced the same as the “competition” most of these bikes are £18-20k , The Ktm lists cheaper but by the time you add what the competition come with as standard they are priced similar. The KTM buttons and layout are awful, Second last to the tiger which is arguably the worst in the category for tech. Ducati and bmw are just better at that. Ktm is far more powerful and smoother quickshifter but not close to a mile munching bike like the bm. I’ve owned 1200gs ktm 1290 then 1250gs . As stated I will never own a 1300gs but likewise I will never own another ktm.
@@Crsf84 couldn't have said it any better. 👍🏿👍🏿
