Nice to see someone with a new bike. Not necessarily brand new, but new to the individual. Learning about a newly purchased bike is always a fun experience to find the little quirks about it and know how it handles for the rider.

@exeterrider 3 года назад

That is so true!

@RRRRefuelRideRace 4 месяца назад

I completely agree Paul. Every bike has its secret that are waiting to be revealed. :)

@RRRRefuelRideRace 4 месяца назад

I have to go through all of these R850R videos you have. :) It one didn't change a lot till 2002 I think. :) To be honest I like it.

@exeterrider 4 месяца назад

I love it mate. I don't think you have owned a BMW boxer before have you? There is something very special about them for sure. They have a very strong character, but they do need constant tinkering and its a sort of bike that "never runs quite right" if you see what I mean.

@RRRRefuelRideRace 4 месяца назад

@@exeterrider I rode a lot of them, but never owned one. :) I see, I get it. I have a very experienced friend and he is a BMW pro. He used to work for BMWs in the late 50s and 60s. He owns 5 boxers and also other BMWs. :) He is Franc Pušnik and I filmed his museum. He told me a lot about BMWs and I am interested a lot into BMWs, just like you. What about the reserve light? How much you can cover when it comes on? :)

I am 99percent sure it won't have been done. Put it this way, I have a rusty oil filter so the odds of the drive shaft being done is zero. It's a big job to do aswell of course 👍

Very excited about hearing more about your experience with the BMW. Every once in awhile one pops up (old and new) for sale around here and last week a 2014 BMW G 650 appeared on FB Marketplace that was fairly priced but still outside my "first bike" budget. I kept checking the listing everyday, and when the Seller dropped the price I was third in line to check it out but got beat out. I'm told BMWs are dependable bikes provided you keep up with the maintenance as with any bike. Enjoy your new ride!

@exeterrider 3 года назад

Thanks Barry, yes I've ridden /tested 7 Bmws now I like the boxer engine and BMW have their own niche with it. Very expensive to buy and service, but this old one will be much cheaper to run. Thanks for watching 👍📺

Also got a 2nd bike next to my nc750xd, last september. Wanted something to work on with good part availability, very characterfull, just for an occasional 30 mile put around the neighbourhood after work on a summer evening. Did not care about handling or comfort as I have the NC for that. Got a 1981 Harley Davidson Sturgis... spent the whole winter working on it in the garage, as intended !

@exeterrider 3 года назад

Nice! That is a one off bike. I need to try a Harley sometime.

@bmp72 3 года назад

@@exeterrider and maybe interesting to know, as you mention cost of running 2 bikes... I live in Switzerland, where they have what loosely translates to 'swapable license plate'. You can have two bikes on a single license plate, you pay road tax and insurance only once. But since you only have one plate you can only go and ride one bike at a time. They sell quick disconnect plate holders to be able to quickly swap the plate between bikes without using tools. Sometimes you see people riding without plate and then you just know they didnt pay attention and the plate is still at home on the other bike...

@robgauntlett5156 3 года назад

Hi, nice bike buddy, I really like the boxer engine myself, I've nott sorted the KTM yet, still sat in the garage and I can see it turning 2 years old and still not run in! To be honest my health has seriously turned south so until that is better then it will have to wait. Good luck with the beemer and I will let you see the new bike when I eventually get it sorted.. Rob

@exeterrider 3 года назад

Hi Rob, I wondered how you were getting on and if the KTM was still in the garage. So sorry to hear your health isn't great, that's sad to hear friend. Hang in there and I really hope you get better soon! Stay in contact.

@urbanfireblade 3 года назад

I was about to say, you listed a lighter, easier bike to run to the shop on etc, then you rock up on a big bmw!!! Haha, well i must say i do like the older BMW's. I've always liked the R850R BMW, lighter than the 1100, lots of good old fashioned character, reliable, just a nice and interesting bike to own. Tbh, i do think you will end up with a small bike sometime eventually, but at the moment they are far too expensive secondhand so i think you've done the right thing by getting a bigger engined older bike. So congrats on a lovely new purchase, definitely looking forward to seeing more videos with it. Nice one E.R!!!!

@exeterrider 3 года назад

Appreciate that mate thanks - Yes your right - I can see a third smaller bike entering the garage this year. The BM was a good buy and pleased with it. Thanks again.

@yorkshireperson Год назад

Ever since you got this I've been thinking about getting an older boxer, I've struggled to get an R, with a few deals falling through due to sellers messing me about. My 03 1150 RS arrived last week, not spent much time on it yet, but cannot wait for slightly better weather so I can.

@exeterrider Год назад

Yay thats great news Yorkshire,,,Just having it in the garage is a good feeling isnt it. your going to really enjoy it I expect. If you need any help with anything then give me a shout. Good news mate, welcome to the boxer club : )

@exeterrider 3 года назад

Too right, there is something about those bikes isn't there. Yes it's a bit of a tank but it's built to last 👍🍻

@PhilipBallGarry 3 года назад

Ooh nah then, that's gorgeous! I knew it was an older boxer as soon as you thumbed the starter. Then as it came into view I thought "that's not a... It blooming well is!". I've considered an R850R a couple of times recently too. They're just different enough to be desirable and usually loved by owners who tend to keep them a long time. Pre ABS keeps them simple. Lack of fairing and gentle character means it's a bike you're likely to just want to bimble on. And this is the best time of the year for just that. Ride quality is supposed to be excellent and if anything like my R1150RT is like a magic carpet. Well done Sir! Your only problem now is that inevitably you'll favour one of your bikes over the other as the "go to" and I suspect the Honda might just be left at home quite a bit. Hopefully you managed to get it on a classic policy?

@exeterrider 3 года назад

Thanks, Yes I find I enjoying riding it on longer "A" road stuff than the NC for sure. I thought "that's not a... It blooming well is!" Brillant!! I am glad you enjoyed it! It's not on a classic policy, Never heard of such a thing to be honest but yes it has a lovely feel about it. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. E.R

Superb, they are special bikes 👍🍻

@walterkiebart9728 2 года назад

@@exeterrider yes indeed they really are, because in my opinion the have a lot of character, that comes from their engines. The BMW has a quite smooth engine and the Guzzis Motor is much rawer and vibrates more. What the both haven common is they have both very good torque you don’t have to shift that much. For me these to Bikes are really nice to drive and they both handle really good, I love them both very much.

@NooBiker 3 года назад

Love the looks of it from a distance. Lots of bits sticking out (wires and screen bracket). I'm sure you'll get lots of great use out of it. In fact, I think I saw it riding along in the Hayabusa video (I'm catching up slowly) It's a different engine configuration and sounds nicer than an NC. Metzeler Interact Z8 tyres worked really well for my bike.

Nice bike. I know what you mean when you said you were looking for something smaller and lighter, and end up getting something bigger and heavier. It's so easy to get sidetracked, and when you like all bikes - including scooters - it's difficult to make that final choice. I thought you'd get something like a Royal Enfield, or Mash 400. Something that had that retro thing going for it. I suppose you've bought a retro kinda bike - It's over 20 years old, anyway. Hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing a few rideouts on it and, perhaps, a bit of tinkering.

Well, I would have never predicted that! I was thinking it would be a trail type bike like you say for nipping to the shops and enjoying the little back lanes, even a few green lanes maybe.

Nearly got one back in the day. Over the years I have ridden several models of bike that were available in more than one capacity and have always found the smaller option to be the sweetest in riding terms. That said, if I had to pick between your two bikes using your priorities of being less fuss to get out for a trip, I'd go for the NC. Isn't it strange how one's assessments change when confronted with what's actually available?

@exeterrider 3 года назад

A bit of a random question, would an R850R or even an R1100R be a good first bike/ beginner bike? especially as someone who has never ridden before? I live in the states and they are priced quite cheap, around $3500 and would be quite nice having a first bike being a BMW! What do you think?

I don’t see the point of buying a bike and keeping it just for a couple of month’s??

Plan was to make money on it , and scratch the itch I had. As it happens its the most enjoyable bike I ever owned so will be keeping it forever : )

Is it really lighter than the N.C? You know what B.M.W. stands for? Bring My Wallet.

Ha yes Mike, parts direct from BMW are not cheap, but many other places sell aftermarket for older BMWs like mine... Its about the same as the NC in weight, my point was I was looking for a lighter bike but ironicly didn't get one in the end. I love the bike though - it's a lovely ride.
