That is a pretty heavy bike even without it's original accessories. This man would definitely need a vacation after using this on the mx race track. Just see how the bike goes down after eveey jumps, kinda real heavy and no matter what he does to distribute his weight in the rear or back, the bike still touches the ground with its front wheel first. Haha. Hats off to this guy.
All bikes are “landed” front wheel first
Absolutely stunning drone shooting!
Props to this rider pushing a huge bike that hard
Up 👍
this' a walk in the park. Look for chris birch
Was thinking exactly the same damn good rider, I'm off to check out Chris birch !!
Wow! Amazing bike handling. Just incredible
Seems the front end is a little low on descent.
I think there's a reason of why "it has never been done" lol
...would certainly NOT do this with my R1200GS! Thanks for showing us that it can be done!
LookattheBiggerPic I would!
You only live once.
Working on loosen nuts and bolts.
Absolutely a beauty. Well done. When you’re an athlete this is just another day out having fun.
Perfect balance . Bike tracks the slope on descent. Professional at work.
I agree with Jim.
this bike nose dives a lot so I wouldn't jump too high :)
The nose dive isn’t the bike. It’s the weight of his balls.
Taking that bike on a track and jumping it, that’s some balls there
Australian bravery,respect !
You are seriously cool !! Taking this animal down a track like this!!👍👍👍
Thank you . 40k dirt bike now!!!
at least you don't have to tap rear brake in order to set front end low. Bike's front end's constantly pointing down. Thx telelever
well done. saw you on Prologue and we cheered you on as with my Tiger the big bikes can be a handful in the sand. awesome work with all those ktm's zinging about. great to see close up the mods you made too.
Your job is the best in the world... respect for you!!! 😁
Perfect, exactly what i was looking for oddly enough:
An experienced adult man, above average in size and strength, with an MX racing background riding a full sized ADV bike on an MX track throwing it around a bit. somebody please keep giving hin ADV bikes to flog around MX tracks lol, not a lot of big men in motocross, seems like average weight is like 160-170 for the adults, and anyone over 190-200 has let themselves go, not this guy though he has the size, strength and apparent fitness to do some very unique things with bikes this big, which isnt as irrelevant of a test to put these bikes through. ADV bikes are extremely popular, expensive and receive the majority of attention from the finest motorcycle background engineers on earth so they need to be able to withstand this level of abuse, even if only a select few individuals are capable of truly manhandling them to this level.
are you homosexual
Front wheel landing every time. It looked a bit like a dolphin having fun.
Bring a pillion to compensate
Ain’t easy to tame a beast . Respect .
Wonderful bike!!
Bellissimo, così adesso tutti i mocassinati danarosi possessori di un camion a due ruote GS del centro di Milano penseranno di poter fare salti in fuoristrada come il supermago di questo video! Magia del marketing!
That GS is so beautiful bike and your review is superb. Ride safe! Watching your video here in the Philippines.
I've talked to Miles. Great bloke, and an excellent rider.
Miles, thank you for showing us all how the gs could be ridden. Well done! I have owned 2 gs1200’s and still don’t have the skills to ride a big bike on track like you did. It’s very impressive. Regarding the padding on the passenger mount, I read that it’s a custom job. I’d love to get a pair for my 17 gs. Those pads help so much with arm pump and stand up riding. I had a pair of stegs pegs on my ktm 350, and love them. Is it possible to point me in the direction of who made them for you? Or if you made them, could you share how to make them? I’d love a set! Cheers!
Ho ya
Brilliant
Some great new accessories for me to show outside Starbucks
cheers cobber
Melhor moto que existe , nota maxima
That's insane, but awesome, good luck!
Até Que Enfim Um Motociclista Qualificado A Altura Dessa BMW Bigtrail ! Parece Que Com Os Pneus Pirelli Teve Melhor Resultado Do Que Com PNEUS Importados De Lixo Nós Outros Vídeos Mais Recentes De Grandes Eventos Da BMW ! Essa Modelo 2017 Única Coisa Que Não Me Agradou Foi Os Farol Cerveró !
I keep watching this video, cos I like knowing what I could do with mine if I eventually got it to the local mx track. 👍👍
Very cool. Way to go Miles!
Top man
Even though I have a 950 Adventure and 119OR, I want one of these too!
Pistol Pete you can have one wife, no girlfriends,and all the bikes you want, greasy side down :-)
I will love to see you and that bike in Dakar or in Dakar eco race. It will be awsome for the show.
Real nice...
I'm pretty sure BMW bikes have done that.
Quick Goggle you'll see old BMW doing really well.
Respect !!! it make it seems like a toy !!!
Not a bmw fan but beautiful footage!
Awesome... PRO! Hats off.
Great video! Thank U for showing to us how easy ride on this "elephant"! One small question about special features and equipment on bike: Where I can buy special pads for passenger footrest? I very like it. Thanks in advance.
99℅ of these bikes never go off road. I would be to worried of laying down or scratching it. It's a bike for adventure dreamers.
You cant scratch a bike in the dirt. I have fallen few times, just a mess to clean it up.
Some say he’s still trying to get the bike to the finish
Some
Have no idea and talk shit
@@milesdavis6453 some need to change their tampon.
This guy have BIG BALLS!
Anybody know if somebody makes those leg supports these days.
I know the once in a video were custom made.
Amazing 👏 🤩
If you give me this bike to race this guy on a 150cc dirt bike, my money is on the guy.
Which guy?
Well, I'm convinced definitely going to try and take my f650 round my loca Mx track now ha x
It's like a motocross racer.
It is a heavy motorcycle but lightly operated. Awesome motorcycle. I subscribed to the channel.
just wow.. whats your height sir
No es moto para motocross pero cada quien .... !
every time you jump ...the frontbike goes down immediately...thats not god...
jezzz travel my TW200 does that too. Very scary
I saw it too.
jezzz travel It's because of the boxer engine, you don't get that usually lift that you'd get from a standard layout engine revving up in mid air.
jezzz travel saw that too! But even so, it's impressive how capable is this 1200 bike on the track, very agile
Por el peso me imagino! Aun asi super maquina!
This bike is expensive, very expensive like 2.5x more as compared to competition(Tiger), at least in india but its 10x better than its competition, especially on our indian roads and off roads.
I rode one and its miles better than my Tiger 900rally pro, (like literally miles better).
I don't think even tiger 1200 can beat it outright.
u actually don't need all that aftermarket stuff to ride it on a mx track.... I remember racing a standard r1200gs (not the rally) some years back. And although on my light and nimble g450x i could easily beat him, i really didn't expect any adventure bike to be that good on a mx track
A BMW Vai Criar Novos Uniformes De Motociclismo ? Pois Eu Penso Em Criar Novos Designer Mais Sofisticados Para Os Fãs De BMW ! Igual Ao Modelo Que Eu Personalizado Pra GSX-R 1000 2008 Que Eu Tanto Amo ! Pois Em Designer De Uniforme A BMW Deve Ainda Bastante !
The 1200 GS is a good and excelent bike
I've had VFR's, CBR's, Ducs, a Kawi and. Harley... now I feel like I want this GS lol so I can go anywhere
Legendary
He's playing 💥
awesome man. any suspension mods? Who makes the levers?
G'day Steve, the levers are designed and made in Cape Town, South Africa. They are awesome, I used them recently on a 16 day ride in Africa and was so impressed decided to bring them in to Australia. They are the only levers I have used that do not crush my third finger and they are really beautifully built. Now the commercial part..."available online from Rocky Creek Designs" just google it and click on ADV BIKE ACCESSORIES.
Very nice! Where did you get those pads for standing. They are a big bike version of Pivot Pegz?
It looks like the levers are only available on the air cooled GSA's, any word on if/when they will be sold for LC GSA's?
It's automatic it adjust itself
@@gregjansen9080 They do not produce them anymore.
3:11 nice wallpaper
Os Pneus Dianteiros Mais Grossos Deram Melhor Aderência Do Que Alguns Modelos GS1250 Com Os Pneus Dianteiros Mais Finos E Principalmente Suspensão aparentemente Mais Curtas ! No Mínimo Uma De 130 MM Invertida Estilo As Da BMW GS 310 Pra Dar Boa Aderência E Melhor Estabilidade ! Se Não Vai Ser Igual A Honras CB 500 Inferior A Suspensão Das BaBy GS As 310 !
Perfect 👍❤
BETTER BIKE IN THE WORLD. I HAVE TRIE D THE AFRICATWIN AND THE ENGINE LOOKS LIKE A VESPA COMPARED TO THIS BEAST
Hi Miles, makes the pads you mention for resting your legs whilst standing?
Great video
Very nice video! Where did. you get the black back pads from? Are the selfmade?
so beautiful
can you tell me the brake lever brand? ... thanks

Spettacolo ..!!!
How did you get the airborne shots? Drone and digital stabilising?
super
I've seen everything now
Hi Denmark Denmark calling... where did you get the pillion pads from? Cause they are just what I need
Sorry, but it just looks, and is, WAY too heavy and cumbersome to throw around a motocross track. I used to ride motocross (KTM 250 2 strokes, UK AMCA), and now have a '66 plate (late 2016) GS 'Triple Black' edition, and it really is way too heavy for this stuff (I'm 6'1" and 16 stone too). The 'boxer' cylinders stick out way too much as well, but if you drop this bike or have a real big/bad 'get off', then it's an expensive bit of kit to repair - rads, lights, indicators, instrument cluster, etc. Finally, on 2014-17 models, there is an official recall on the top fork/yoke casting, as they shear under 'high stress/impact situations' - this happened on mine, but BMW were great and repaired/modified it without any fuss at all (even collected and delivered the bike back - and all done in two days).
Hello ADBMagazine, awesome Video!
Could you please tell me where to get those levers from? They look perfect. I also would like the pads in the back (1:33). Iwould be pretty happy if someone could tell me where to buy them.
Thx
Bike Brothers I’m still looking for the levers...
@@SleipnirADV Thx, I already got those levers. But I´m still looking for those pads in the back where usually the pegs for the second rider are.
I´m following you on Instagram. Maybe you also want to follow me? @ela7mk
@@bikebrothersisters hi... where did you get those levers? I NEED them :)
@@bikebrothersisters Yes What make are those levers?
Impressive!
Nice👍
Guys is it possible to find out how to get such pads on rear pegs? Is it custom? How to get such?
Mute Music... then this will be a Good Video!!!
respect!
What are those pads installed on the passenger pegs?
Super duper bike
Is that ok to use narrow tyre than basic model? (170/60-17 -> 150/70-17)
It won’t fit, the new rims are wider than the old ones...
Because every 50 something year old who owns that bike needs to see how others ride it.
Smooth
F850 is more appropriate for this type of roads
First rate Miles. I wonder how far you can jump a GS?
WOW... Amazing
Are those leg rests custom made? Who makes them? Looks like the passenger peg bracket was modified for this specific purpose. I need to have them!! Thanks.
Yes, they were custom made using the pillion peg bracket as the mount.
Was just going to post the same comment, those look brilliant for technical riding with the GS! Might have to make something like that myself...
@@milesdavis6453 G'Day Miles, how'd you go in the Finke? Is there any footage available for me to check out please? Cheers mate, Chriso.
Ps I've done 10 safaris with you. I'm always the last one to leave each morning. Lol
@@milesdavis6453 G'Day Miles, just wondering if you have any footage of the bike in action at Finke please mate.
73Criminal Hey Chris, unfortunately there isn’t any video of the GS from Finke, all the cameras are up the front on Toby and the other contenders.
Does the bike have sports suspension?
Sick! Did you drop the big puppy?
Where to get those pads to rest your legs?
Does anyone know what brake lever model is he using in the video? I do not see it well...

Great rider no doubt yet KTM videos with 1090 / 1290 present the bikes in way better manner. That being me an R1200GS rider myself.
He forgot to mention his balls of steel
So máquina quente, so o tufo e a bagaceira.
No stanchion separation after this?
hola excelente video...esos frenos y embragues que marca son....donde se consiguen
far out dint know you could take it to a mx track!
The more videos I watch the worse I realise I am.
Did he fall?
What is the make and brand for the front brake levers and clutch levers?

How often do the valves have to be adjusted on this bike ?
According to the manual, they are to be checked (and if needed, then adjusted) every 20.000 kms.
Is there a follow up video to this? I feel as though the shots of the actual bike being ridden leave a lot to be desired... :(
