Stuck in the sand BMW GS 

hello fellow malaysia. im riding dtm from demak .

Cant believe there's another 955 Tiger in the Flint Hills!

but seriously; I have a steeeeeep learning curve ahead with my orange beast and the thought of leaving the paved roads at this point seems suicidal. I'm considering buying a light, inexpensive dual-sport to practice off-road; WR250R, DRZ 400, XT 250, XR 250 , I suppose 150kg and 250 to 400cc will be better to learn off-road than 230 kg and 1190 cc

greetings from Belgium

trying to remember if 125cc 2-stroke enduro taught me anything about 200kg+ bike, and....huhm.... you could start with lighter and easier unpaved roads etc. carefull with throttle and front brake there, that's most important. and also, if you're not too sure, you can stop and check (on foot), and then go back if you dislike that terrain.

get out and train! It's very simple. Entrenamiento es lo mas importante cuando tu hay que manejar una moto

actually on sand the bike can stand on it's own without any stands. but she shouldn't bend like that anyway so close to it.

Exactly, then you will need to lay it down , rotate it backwards and go downhill. And you will be without any energy after that.

Step 2: Look at Step 1

@@andreyaleksandrov537 way more fun blasting through the sand and up hills with 125 hp than with 15... rode a hillclimb with 70% gradient and loose stones last week and felt like i was the king of the world. you don't get that type of satisfaction, when you just roll up it on a 200cc beta... they have their place, but this is just more fun. at the point, where riding a ktm 300 exc makes fun, you are on the verge of killing yourself. with a 1200 gs you just have to ride into the next forest... rode 3000km last week, 50% offroad. wouldn't want to do that on a drz 400 as well...

It's short for gasoline.
