Great video. Those rocky roads are complex but once you get to learn how to deal with them, it's actually natural, but though anyway. Greetings from The Andes in Southamerica. Thanks for sharing.
If you don't know how it works, I can understand it can take some time. The most important is to get a stamp for your passport and the papers for your bike. The best thing is to let some people fill in the papers for you, like you can see in the video, and give them some money. They know what to do, and who to speak to. ;-)
Nice adventure and vid. I saw that you change the rear suspension [shock], try to do something with that useless front fork, and you'll and up with a 10x better bike.
Great Ride mate! I'm planning to buy F800 GS Adventure soon. I saw a few riders in the video on 1200 GS as well. What's your feedback on 1200 GS vs 800 GSA on such terrain? As I live in Australia and have plenty of similar roads in the outback so will be good to hear your opinion.
Rohit Sharma Go for the F800GSA, you will have a lot more fun offroad ;-). The F800 is the perfect bike for this. The 1200 is a very good bike but it's just to heavy for offroad, it only has more comfort on the highway.
Rohit Sharma What did you like about the KTM 1190 overall? Any comparison to the BMW 800 gs? I am considering a KTM as well, and have only rode the 1200 & 800 BMW's so far. Safe travels Rohit! Cheers.
Looks like a great adventure. How far and how many days did you spend there? Do you have any tips on maps, and where to find gps tracks for a trips like this?
Wow, that's the best sounding akra on the F8. I've been mulling one of those, but damn, those are expensive. Saw your farkles video, sweet looking bike!
I agree Xerra, and leave any BM-boxer at home for this stuff, the 800 is superior to that clumsy heavy buffalo.... you can't lift it yourself? Then leave it at home!
Iz Meorbin i agree. i dont understand why you would ride an adventure bike that you cant pick up on your own. But it is good to see the bikes actually used in the dirt. Not like all those reviews that use sealed roads with the occasional ride in a gravel parking lot!
Obviously they can, as they went to Morocco and back in a fantastic trip with their bikes and their mates. It must suck being such a good rider that nothing is challenging for you.
I see you pointed out your ABS kept kicking in. Did your GS not come with the option for turning that off? I know the new F800GS Adventure has that option, thats all. Maybe its a new thing.
I forgot to turn the ABS off after starting the bike. When you stop the bike and start the bike again, you will need to turn it off again. It's annoying because when travelling in a group, I shut down the bike when waiting for the others. And when I start the bike again, I forget to turn off the ABS sometimes.
