👋 Welcome to my channel! I'm Krystian from Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹. Join me as I dive into the world of building and modifying bikes and cars 🏍️🚗.
I may not specialize in any particular brand or have professional training, but I bring my own personal touch to every restoration and modification. My hope is that my content will make you smile and inspire you to tackle your own old and new bikes or cars 🤩.
You can expect to see BMW Motorrad bikes, as well as Japanese and Italian bikes on this channel, along with cars from all brands. At the end of the day, I'm here to have a good time and never take life too seriously, so come and enjoy the journey with me 🛣️.
Follow me on Instagram too, where I go by the name majestix_adv - adventure is the name of the game, as every rebuild and modification is an adventure in itself 🏞️.
@@milesdavis8665 i would say it depends what you want to do with it. As with the SA you can get an R very offroad orientated or a S street oriented The gs is something that can do both, it will be not the best offroad but also not the worst, in my opinion On the street its a swiss army knife ^^ The SA is also very great i would look what dealers you have right both, see how you feel ;)
@majestix_adv yes I'd look at an SAS If I was to get one. Maintenance on that bike is fairly easy on that bike as well. Plus I came off of a zx 14r. So the power is very attractive
Thanks for the video. It's true there is not much content on the web about Goldentyre. A question: looking to Goldentyre catalogue (Rally), GT823KH is only front 90/90-21. For the rear there is GT723RH 140/80-18. Is that what you have in the rear?
German myself - your accent rocks. Living in South Africa and enjoying your lekker Duitse accent. More so, as an HP2 Enduro owner myself, I appreciate the content you deliver. Vielen Dank und allzeit sichere Fahrt! I am an old f@rt and could be your dad. One word of a advice, if I may. Stay as you are, be authentic as you are throughout your life. You rock
@@majestix_adv Der Tip mit der Shiver Marzochi Gabel war Gold wert. Vielen Dank dafuer. Meine Originalgabel war im Standrohr so dermassen ausgeleiert, dass ich das Tauchrohr radial um 7 mm hin und her bewegen konnte. Auch bekam ich die Gabel nicht mnehr dicht. Ich hatte super grosses Glueck und habe eine gut erhaltene Shiver Gabel aus einer pre-KTM Husquarna gefunden fuer umgerechnet 150 EUR (3000 South African Rand). Muss nur noch an der unteren Gabelbruecke die Aufnahme um 1mm Durchmesser (1/2 mm Radius) aufhohnen und die unteren Gabelschuhe tauschen (wegen Bremszangenaufnahme). Vielen Dank fuer Deine sehr wertvollen Tips und allzeit sichere Fahrt. Herzliche Gruesse aus Durban. Dein Fan, Andreas
@@majestix_adv I wasn't looking to purchase them from you; as I am in Australia. I was interested to see if these are still your go-to tyre for your adv bike, or if you've found something else? Plenty of choices out there : Motoz, Pirelli, Mitas, etc etc . . . but I have no experience with Goldentyre and there is very little information/reviews on the web for these 823's.
@@ToriMoto my favorit for travels is for the 1250GS the ax41 and for the hp2 the mitas e09 dakar or the dunloo 908 The goldentyre is for me in europe not so comon to comeby and dont give me the advanges the other have for me :)
Sure its worth to buy, but depends on the km and Price someone ask for it? In my opinion its always important to see what fits me well. Is it the GSA with low km as i want to travel a lot with it or is it myabe the GSA that is younger but has more km as i dont drive so much with it.
@@majestix_adv yeah it has Low miles around 7160 miles but BMW gsa gives 3 years and 36000 miles of warranty if I purchase 2016 I cannot purchase extended warranty there is a grace period like the motorcycle should be within 36 months to have extended warranty.. Anyways I would only ride during summer we have winter days ..But I love to do long tours with GSA .. not sure if it worth to keep it for a longer time
@@shajum.k8316 ok so its a low km bike then i can say it can only be that suspension gets an issue over time even its low on miles everything else should be fine... i would insist they do a new service new tyres on it then its ready to go ;) you can ride it and sell again ;) if price is right now. Its a hard time to sell bikes so maybe they go lower to
@@majestix_adv nah, just standard but i do use GS final drive (gear set) to get 6% more torque vs 6% less top speed and GS mud guard. 6 speed hydraulic clutch gearbox from R1150RS and swing. Telelever swing arm from R1150 Rockster. I do need to use the R1150RS back frame to do this.
@@majestix_adv I'm gonna use Metzeler KAROO™ STREET and will go off road. The R1100RS was tested offroad in development stage, visible in their '93 BMW R1100RS commercial for US market.
ECU fault could be a number of things but it looks like the bike is riding ok so PROBABLY it's fine for a test ride... I'd probably not BUY that bike if it's already throwing codes... KTM reliability seems to vary and bikes that have problems sometimes have LOTS of problems, friday bikes or something like that. The bike is not really an enduro... more like a good base platform for building a lightweight ADV bike. I've had minor issues with my 2021 but nothing major in 50k km. (about 60% dirt/40% pavement) as for alternatives... AJP PR7 is the only one that comes to mind, and now the Ducati if you put dirt tires on it. 500exc is definitely better offroad but is terrible on pavement so it depends on what kind of riding you like to do. This bike really is for mixed use (and IMO piling on the km's)
@@kuhndj67 yeah it was riding fine, it was a fault c9nnected to the quickshifter so they told me just ride it. Yes the bike is something between a 500exc and a 890 adv, for long trips onroad its not great from seating but better then the exc. Offroad its lighter then the 890adv so not so skilled person has it lighter to go on some adventure :)
I bought myself a BMW R1300GS option 719 this year. When I found out that they added this option, I was surprised. This upset me, I thought I bought a motorcycle with all the available options ;) I’m also surprised by how my motorcycle changes gears in cruise control without this option (ASA), isn’t this the same principle?
I love this bike Had the 2020 Lost it when I was take out by a VW Van while traversing a roundabout Replaced with the bigger GS Then sold it after a year of proving to myself I had no inhibitions about riding and now have a new 2023 Triple black fully loaded all options + a few Options 719 🤟 Hey.. ended up with The 100Th Anniversary bike … Life’s Good and she delivers ✨
Since HP2 enduros are harder to find, can you use an HP2 megamoto with off road tires instead? I'm talking about trails, not hard -core stuff...Although is has less suspension travel, isn't it mostly the same bike? I think a megamoto would still be 100 pounds lighter than a GS, and easier to handle off-road, correct?
I’d like to hear your comments on the Spirit of riding and how it has progressed through an age of popular technology added to the machines. I’ve just returned from Zurich and see Scooters which typically are more basic popular in commuting and taking less space to park - they to me celebrate more of what we are missing Danks
Very good, honest, balanced and unbiased review. I fully agree with some of your observations especially on plastic gear shift lever, crash bar mounting on engine, and exposed frame that would be easily scratched when riding off-road. I know they have different models for more off-road oriented riding which provide enduro gear and brake levers but other issues are still there. I think the other issues can and will be fixed with software updates but for the amount of money you pay for these machines you would hope you get better gear even on the base models.
Hi, thank you for the video. I do feel the smoothness touch of the clutch lever, but I could easily identify the friction zone on mine. But you’re right about the panniers. BMW is facing a problem with it and it’s not solved yet. Things, unfortunately, that happen all the time when a manufacturer launches an entirely new bike. There are always some niggles to take care of. Overall the bike is a superb machine. Though I would appreciate if they have put the retro illuminated buttons. It’s a premium feature that is lacking on a premium bike. BMW should have taken care of it from the scratch of this 1300 GS, no doubts about that 👍🏻
Hi Thank you for the comment :) Yeah thats true but i can say its not a big deal what has happened till now. I wouldnt known a GSs had an engine blown or something so they show still to be reaible, and the small issues that anoy some people yeah they are here but be happy and ride it :)
Thank you! It could be in garmisch but production will start after summer brake when bmw changes the production line from the old 1250gsa to the new gsa
when i first saw one , i was very disappointed with the brake pedal and the gear lever looking very cheap ..i never liked the vario luggage and have removed all the mounts and put aluminium hard luggage on mine …i think also the switchgear and menu system could be better , why not illuminated ?(im hoping it will be on the new GSA and maybe retro fit )the seats look great but seem to mark very easily …i would also of liked a separate rear daylight running/brake light , not integrated into the turn signals…..all minor points but loving mine
Yes, if you don't like innovations, it's better to keep riding your old trusted R1250GS. If you want to trade in your motorcycle for a new one, I would go for the R1300GS
i picked up mine yday ..you are thinking wrong about the adaptive height suspension ..i had the previous 1250GS and it was always awkward getting my leg over the bike because of the passenger seat height and even worse with the panniers on , now the 1300 with the adaptive height control sits a lot lower when stopped and its very easy to get on and off even with a full set of panniers on ..and thats why i paid for it , not to tick all the boxes on the options list ..i think mine feels heavier than previous model to push round the garage as well ..good review by the way ..
Riding position is a bit less sporty on the 1250r so yes, also kardan means no need to worry about the chain. Torque is higher and lower so you can ride in higher gear
J'ai une extrême jouissance à piloter ma r1250r en montagne dans les Pyrénées. C'est une moto faite pour les courbes. J'ai l'impression de surfer. J'ai regretté dans 1er temps le télélever mais ce système d'amortissement piloté est genial une fois que l'on compris comment celà fonctionne. Pour les pneus j'aime beaucoup les Dunlop rs4 et les Michelin road6. Quelqu'un peut-il me conseiller d'autres pneus, s'il vous plaît ?
@@majestix_adv Bonjour je souhaiterai essayer des pneus avec beaucoup de grip donc sûrement avec une durée de vie courte. Merci pour votre réponse. Cordialement
Hp2 definitely works as a travel.bike. I've racked up 68k km on mine. Mostly camping. Find yourself a set of bags to go over the tank and hang above the cylinders. Used mine for over 20 yrs now.
No this bike was never on the erzberg.... i have 5 hp2 and my race bike will never leave my garage. Have a look on my instagram majestix_adv..... so this bike os a clean bike was ridden offroad but only tet so nothing hard or something.
Servus Konrad :) So from my feeling and impressions its not so top heavy like the T7 it also feels better in standing and seating positiin to me, as the setupe sutes me better. Dont get me wronge tge T7 is a great bike and from Price/performance the better bike, but i didnt felt so fast comfotable on the T7 like on the GS and i was expecting from the f900gs really nothing or not really a competition for the 890r or T7 or DesertX. So i can really say its a great bike and best offroader since over 10years from BMW!
Bellissimo vedere la tua tecnica, complimenti! Mi domando solo se questa moto non meriti un po più rispetto. A me piangerebbe il cuore anche se sono d'accordo sull'utilizzo in off
From my perspective i give her tge life she deservs, as it was built for that. I can garanty you everything that has got a scratch can be replaced with parts i have in stock and all will be good ;) So its better then to keep it as a garage queen :)
Yes thats why i say in my first video the bike is ,,light" but only because tze fuel tank is missing about 4 to 5 liters... Im sure their will be people providing some tanks like for the hp2 they did :)
