** APOLOGIES FOR THE IN GARAGE AUDIO ** (before any other clever cloggs pipes up....)
-
Love your videos and another great in depth review, far more detail than other reviewers. Thumbs up. And that beautiful scenery around where you live, love it. Cheers from Australia
-
Hope BMW sells a ton of ‘em, because, from where I sit, obtaining a gently used fully farkled 2020 RS in 2023 might be a possibility.
-
You are a very talented youtuber! Articulate, intelligent, a joy to listen to! Thank you!
-
I got the bike since September 2020. I am 5'7" which helps me with the seating position of the bike. Great review and great bike.
-
Being in Australia, I can’t begin to express how awesome it is that your video’s drop just as I’m finishing work for the day. Thank you Mr Flyer, thank you so much 😊
-
A great review, as ever. I agree about the chrome exhaust: I have the 'R' version and the HP-branded Akrapovic end can improves the sound no end.
-
Seriously considering this as a tourer; this review really helped. Thanks TMF 😊👍🏻
-
Nice review. Your channel got me to make videos on my motorbike BMW R1200GS. made one on a test ride on the r1250gs. I have found that the TFT displays are temperamental. my mate was riding his GSA, the txt went off, thankfully his nav 5 he was able to use for speedometer then 20 minutes later it comes back to life.
-
Once again a Fantastic review TMF. I’ll Definitely be test riding one soon 👍
-
I love your reviews. I want them all. I have a 2018 GS Adventure here in the USA and a Yamaha T700 which I keep in France, to tour Europe with (so far). I am transported to a higher realm when I’m sailing or riding my motorcycle. I’m 75. The older boy across the street had a motorcycle. I hero-worshipped him. I couldn’t wait to grow up to ride motorcycles! I hope I can ride them until I no longer want to and I cannot imagine that.
-
Good honest review. If I had the dosh,it would be mine. Love it!
-
I used to own the 1200RS and have recently taken the 1250 for a test ride. There are a few things it still needs...Rear hugger .. change the position of the satnav as it's going to get blocked if you have a tank bag fitted. And bar risers, on long distances I used to get shoulder ache. Apart from those things it's an excellent bike.
-
Such great, comprehensive and informative bike reviews! These reviews are so helpful in cutting through the marketing BS and actually offering an informed opinion. Many more to come, I hope.
-
I see so many Bike Review videos - Urs are One of The BEST (Specially when U Make Detailed Ones) !! Thanks :)
-
Have arranged a test ride after your review, excellent as usual
-
Excellent review, Flyer! She is a beauty. I would consider that bike as well for road only touring. Cheers from Pittsburgh!
-
Absolutely EXCELLENT review. Thank you so much for the effort.
-
