Trans Euro Trail VLOG on a BMW R 1300 GS, European Motorcycle travel, wet and slippery single trail. 

It was a workout 🏋️ but I don’t know if brave is the right word.🤣

So good @Wollestar I was crossing my fingers for it to arrive early 🤘 just be sure to take it easy before the first service. No crazy wheelies and whatnot 😉 I think 1000km is a good target for first service unless they told you otherwise. I think it was meant to be between 600 and 1200km. You can always watch my videos as well as ride your bike 😂. Happy riding champ, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine

@BavarianBloodhound1 they told me 800-1000. Yeah, I don't think that I will do a wheelie ever on that bike🤣. That would mean I would have to know how to in the first place😅. But I used the good weather on Thursday for a small tour and I absolutely love that thing already. As mentioned some videos ago, I have a similar bike to yours, but I went for the forged wheels. It will be interesting to see how they hold up. They look really good, though.

Yeah I think they look pretty good also. I bet they will be stronger and better than cross spoked, but time will tell.

😂 I sometimes cry myself to sleep after I have dropped the bike out on the trail.😭 But I’m using it for its intended purpose I suppose so hopefully the bike isn’t angry with me. Cheers for the support mate👍

I do anything for my subscribers.🤣 Thanks for the sub mate.👍

@@BavarianBloodhound1 :-)

Haha cheers mate. I had the tires at 1.9 front and 2.2 bar rear.27-32 psi(normally 2.5f & 3.0R) But these tires are rubbish as soon as there is any mud about.

Thanks mate.👍 could hear it by how much I was breathing 😮‍💨

Sure was. 😂

Depends how stubborn I feel like being 🤣🤣🤣 I think it’s the next thing I buy for the bike so possibly soon.

Doing a BDR and will take that into consideration. The assembly is all one part when ordered so it’s like $900

Thanks for the tip. I will keep that in mind if I’m going to do tight trails like this again. 😀

@@jrs1064 good point, I broke mine too so decided to replace with double take motors which are awesome and can be easily folded when going bush. They are also easier to adjust.

cheers mate👍

Definitely not when the floor is wet 🤣🤣

🤣🤣 they probably would. Will be the next thing I buy for the bike for sure

Thanks for the support mate. Thanks for the info about the central track. I will wait for an update before I go that way again. 👍

they are supposed to be a bit flimsy, so they break before the mounting points...

yeah I was having a look at them today and it looks like they may have moved slightly. I have dropped the bike a few more times that hasn’t made it into the videos and I always seem to be dropping it to the one side. I think Outback Motortek would build the strongest and best quality for this bike as I think their crash bars were the best for the 1250. so I might upgrade to them at some stage.

Going outback motor tech as well. Just waiting till in stock.

Good choice 👍

While those bikes are good suggestions, I wouldn’t trade this for anything. I love taking this bike off-road and actually so far the only limiting factor is my skill level not the motorcycles ability to conquer trails. Hope you enjoy riding whatever bike you ride mate, just as long as your riding.👍

With good knobby rubber and cylinder protection gs is amazing on single trail. How you can put it first gear and let go the clutch and gas and it tractors on at least my 1250.

😂

@movelikejaeger1914 So, first of all please understand that I respect your opinion and I'm not trying to attack you with my comments I think "failed concept" is not correct. this bike was never marketed to do single trail, It was for wide open 2 track, gravel/dirt/sandy roads and yes to the majority of its market road riding. In saying that this trail is nowhere near out of its league, I simply have the incorrect tires for it. In fact when it dries up a bit I will return to this section and blow through it like nothing. Of course I would still be much slower than a proper enduro or motocross bike but that is also the case for lets say a T7. I quite enjoy the challenges of a big bike on these smaller trails and will look at improving my own skills to better handle these situations. As you will see with my other videos I don't think that I have "just barely" made it through the tet trails here in Estonia and I absolutely will be doing tet trails in all the countries I visit. Anyway, not attacking you, just opininating (if thats a word) 😂. Hope you enjoy the trails on whatever it is you ride mate. cheers for the comment 👍👍👍 Happy trails.

@@BavarianBloodhound1 All good man! I think its awesome you take the challenge. People tour the world on 125cc, 2 wheels can be great fun way out of the comfort zone. And i think you surely didnt make a bad choice with the gs. Maybe i just dont like the naming of the "adventure" bike class. To me adventures start when these heavy adventure bikes go out of their comfort zone. If it has adventure in the name but muddy/wet becomes a concern i cant help but chuckle a bit haha

Yeah maybe, But I love my bike and will be trying to become a better rider on it. Hopefully I won’t break too much of it because I'm definitely not rich😂 What do you ride @peterwhalley6491 ?

@@BavarianBloodhound1 No I have the greatest respect for anyone trying to trail ride on an adventure bike. I am now an old man and ride a Beta 300 X trainer, previously I had a Honda crf 250 L and not only did alot of damage to it but had a bad accident where I broke my leg and damage a wrist and shoulder.

That’s unfortunate you had a crash mate. Never fun. I say you gotta get out there on whatever you feel comfortable on and hell if I saw someone on a 50cc moped trying to conquer the trails I would be cheering them on. Cheers mate👍
