BMW's excel at comfort. A lighter F800GS is easier to handle off road than my older R1150GS Adventure, but any boxer engined BMW feels like a dream to ride on on or off road.

@chrzanik666 3 года назад

I am waiting for delivery next week, its just agonising wait 😒🙃

@Porsche996driver 3 года назад

You da man. Germans always have the best paints and colors hands down.

@johnnste1 7 лет назад

The only BMW I've ever ridden was a 2013 F800GS. It was such a fun bike, really great and confidence inspiring off road. Easy to get the back end out and ride it like a proper dirt bike. The only problem with it was the stock rims were really soft and easy to ding. It sounded fantastic with an aftermarket exhaust.

@outty77 7 лет назад

I have the 2014 version of this bike and the only criticism I have is that once it's all loaded with fuel and gear, it doesn't have much 'oomph' on the highway.

@hannahmich7342 6 лет назад

I have a older 800gs and I’ve driven many many miles. I love it

@shaneolivier1650 Год назад

What a bike BIKE SHOP 😲 that GS 800 Adventure will forsure be my next bike 👌

@ShawnSmoak Год назад

Good choice!

@ArizonaRE 7 лет назад

See, that's exactly why I rode my Tiger 800 to Yellowstone, light, comfy, and powerful enough to get it done B-)

@Roger_Ramjet 7 лет назад

Thanks for taking us along

@BigBadWolfMoto 7 лет назад

Another great video Mr. Smoak! Would love to have the 1200 GS alongside my Harley for sometimes exploring rough terrain.

@ShawnSmoak 7 лет назад

+Euripides Masakis Thank you kind sir! I think a 1200 GS would be perfect sitting next to your Harley. For those rough country exploration moods we get into..! Lol

@dirtbeard108 7 лет назад

I really wish I had a BMW dealer closer than my current situation. Being 140 miles from the nearest dealer is what is holding me back.

@mowman7777 7 лет назад

Wow, what a nice bike and your dealership is HUGE.

@douglascassetty6553 7 лет назад

800 GS A will be a great bike. I think the 1200 GS A would be more me. I like to travel and more bells and whistles.

@Arbitrator207 7 лет назад

Now that is a big shop!

@larry39208 7 лет назад

That is one beautiful bike!

@hankwojo 7 лет назад

Nice video. I really like your presentation, easy going and relaxed. Enjoyable. At the moment I'm trying to decide on the F800GS or the Tiger 800 XCx. I wish I had more money and a bigger garage . . .

@jamtree9746 5 лет назад

Once you have loaded it up and hit the trail do you really appreciate this fine motorcycle.

@Skunk72 7 лет назад

I want your job Shawn! I would love to play with bikes all day. Those BMWs look sick!

@thetessellater9163 4 года назад

What a fantastic, massive bike showroom! Nothing like it in the UK sadly. Would you like to set one up here? Please.

@reinistraidas 7 лет назад

I see (or rather - hear) they still haven't got rid of the "clack-clunk" noise in the front end.

@keithnp51 7 лет назад

Holy crap, that is one huge motorcycle dealership!

@charlesspencer1200 7 лет назад

Hi Shawn. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I enjoy watching your videos. I'm curious to know what camera and microphone you are using. Thanks and keep up the good work.

@ShawnSmoak 7 лет назад

Thank you very much Charles! For these test rides, I'm using an old Hero4 Silver with a little Sony stereo mic stuffed in a cheek pad of an older Shoei shop helmet. Thanks again!

@raymie17 6 лет назад

I love your job!!

@SalemCBR1 7 лет назад

Same place as the can am eh... cool stuff to know.

@ShawnSmoak 7 лет назад

After all the reliability we've seen from Rotax engines over the years, I'd feel comfortable knowing that engine was powering my bike if I had one of these. This bike was way cooler than I was expecting it to be! Love little surprises like that... Thanks!

@taraskompaniyets1039 7 лет назад

Side plastic surrounding the radiator looks ugly too. Classic version looks nicer than Advanture. However, exhaust system of both is ugly. It would look way nicer if there was simmetrical dual exhaust under the seat. For example like KTM 950 Super Enduro.

@josevaldez3145 7 лет назад

DAMN IT I WANT IT!!

@Robin-sc1lf 7 лет назад

I want one but unfortunately my legs are too short. BMW clearly only make GS800 for 6ft people. It looks wider than the previous 800.

@lucamenna8208 7 лет назад

I don't know what to take, 800gs standard or Adventure...

@kakoloona4881 7 лет назад

Hey I'm KARLO, I'm looking to buy my first adventure bike I've only owned Suzuki gsxr's. what is the engine and chain maintenance like? Is it possible to get it with out spokes or are they not true spoke rims? What about valve adjustments what kind of intervals?

@JohnBraman413 5 лет назад

what's a good entry level adventure bike to start off with?

@youroam1 7 лет назад

Nice Bike!!

@ShawnSmoak 7 лет назад

Thank you kind sir!

@Wild_Legends 7 лет назад

I am planning to change my 2012 F800GS for new adventure one... Thanks for video, I have had no chance to ride it yet... By the way how can I get your job!?? :-D

@philipchandler330 6 лет назад

So at 5 ft 9in 29 inch inseam is the GS 800 to high seat wise for me?

@viewericeberg 7 лет назад

Hey Shaun is the engine a Rotax?As a Spyder owner, it sounds familiar.

@ShawnSmoak 7 лет назад

The engine is designed and engineered by BMW and manufactured by Rotax. The engine is shipped to the Berlin plant completely assembled, ready for installation... It's been around for a while now, and has been stone reliable. Thanks!

@StuHNomadBiker 7 лет назад

Shawn Smoak Good old Rotax, I'd bet my life on em 👍

@jimmonterosso9176 7 лет назад

it must be hard to keep those model names right

@peterc7327 7 лет назад

How are they for seat height, do you need giraffe legs to reach the ground?

@ffejkk37 6 лет назад

Peter C I'm 5'9" and on my tippy toes. Very easy to balance when unloaded

@markjacobs6294 7 лет назад

Can't stand the arrogant BMW dealer in my area. 800GS is very nice but a Tiger 800XCa is in my garage...love it.

@ronprice2127 7 лет назад

sounds let the harly dealers in my area

@CanadianTexaninLiguria 7 лет назад

Compare to a F800gs(2010) - Shipped with battle wings, non adjustable front suspension, seat could only be ridden for 45 minutes, windshield caused deafness at highway speeds and as fuel level goes down, the bike becomes top heavy and even scary. The Triumph is far and ahead of the F800

@markjacobs6294 7 лет назад

The new 1200 Tigers are nice also. I had a 2013 XC for 30,000 miles. Great 70/30 bike but the 800XC is a true 50/50 bike. The KTMs, Tigers and the rest of the ADV bikes are giving Big B a scare. The ADV market is the fastest growing segment and they no longer are the only game in town. Competition makes all makes better in the long run.

@Ptishereonutube 7 лет назад

Mark Jacobs Is the dealer your talking about on Long Island?

@sweetcostarica 7 лет назад

Yes, there are bad & good points to the BMW F800 GS/GSA. I have had two (2) F650 versions & one BMW R1150R. These are great bikes but: - the F650, F700, F800 versions are a little loud & vibrate more than other bikes at higher RPMs, they are too light & underpowered for the highway, they are expensive but hold their value better than the bikes. but they are good on the gas mileage (at least 55 for the biggest bike - the 800), BMW has a great 3 year warranty with roadside assistance free for 3 years. Reliability is good with their Rotex engines. The F800 GSA is the best of the breed with all the add ons. - the boxers like the 1200s are excellent! Their only fault is they are too technical/complicated and need good mechanics to kept them reliable. Unfortunately, a lot of BMW dealerships don't have many good mechanics and so BMW has a low score in reliability. I had big issues with mine after the BMW mechanic serviced my bike during its 6000 mile service. They screwed something up but would not own up even though it was obviously their doing. Anyway, that should be considered.

@OntarioAndrews415 7 лет назад

Nice job. Nice bike. Hey, I would like to see you ride & review the new G310R when you get one please. Cheers!

@erickg3508 7 лет назад

Saw you in the 310 video! cheers!

@vrich3733 7 лет назад

Just amazing how many you guys stock! Nothing like that by me. What happens to bikes that don't sell? Can you still buy 2014 or 13 bikes?

@Walts-Travel 7 лет назад

nice...

@dionreload 7 лет назад

Second hand f800 gs.. or iron 883 as a first bike????!!!!

@ShawnSmoak 7 лет назад

+Dion - Either would be great, but the GS can be quite tall, so make sure that's not going to be an issue if you choose the BMW... Thanks Dion!

@dionreload 7 лет назад

Wonderfull i am 1metre 90 cm will go by risers for both of 'm, love the easy going passion for passing on youre experience and true tech knowledge! My girlfriend thinks i am a nerd, i think its cool🤣! You'l make everybody start motovlogging hahaha including myself🤜🏼

@69FOSTER 6 лет назад

Shawn, just for a height reference, how tall are you? I'm 5'8'' and this is one of the bikes I'm interested in. Don't want to be on my toes when at a stop.

@longranger5226 6 лет назад

Dang it! I knew I shouldn’t have watched this vid.

@Lifesnextadventure1 7 лет назад

Does the F800GSA have cruise control?

@lucamenna8208 7 лет назад

John Barnes - NorCal ADV not yet, but it will.

@tsav6952 7 лет назад

800GS or Africa Twin, which do you like best?

@tsav6952 7 лет назад

OtisENGINEuity Actually the BMW GS Adventure starts at 14k. The Africa Twin manual is 13k and DCT is 14k. Yes, the BMW is around 200 cc's less, but they both have the same adventure touring purpose, both parallel twins with 21 inch tubeless front tires. Both very nimble and similar ergonomics. I have seen side by side comparisons on these two bikes on RU-vid and they stack up pretty close according to those comparisons.

@dirtbeard108 7 лет назад

the AT is cheaper by a few thousand

@mbtfp 7 лет назад

I am a little BMW Fanboy but I like the looks of the Africa Twin A LOT more! :) Just my 2 cents

@toby7504 7 лет назад

T Sav africa twin...no question about that. That Honda quality will serve you for many years with out any trouble. BMW are good and looks cool but chanses for a garage visit is 98% higher than with the Honda. Africa twin looks awsom too
