That's awesome, the Africa Twin is a great choice bike Alex, I'm currently traveling outside of japan and when I am back we should definitely just an FYI i typically record all my rides so if your not camera shy then more than welcome to join 👍

Hi Danny, thanks for watching and happy to hear you have this helmet for the amount of time thats great to hear. I have never come across this issue so far

Awesome Steve as ever thank you for watching and indeed I would highly recommend it Sir 👍🙏

@@archjapanmotovlogs Thank you so much!

Thanks Steve yes indeed some preliminary changes however its a start 🤘

Right on, gotta have those meat pies! 🥧

Thanks mate appreciate watch and also the comment, the Triple Black is an awesome machine !!

@ how much did you pay?Do you get the first service free?

@@pauldarrah5966 around 36k mate as per my previous episodes here in japan you don;t have a selection of various bike setups they only sell the bike which as by defaullt all loaded par some small addons. i believe in the US and UK you can buy a bare bone bike for much cheaper, addtionally we always pay the first service so I'll let you know when i pass it as I'm around 700km's now

Hahaha Pete that mini van was a maniac thanks for watching and most of all for commenting mate 🙏👍

hey there, 30 and 50 depends on where you are.

hahahaha, indeed i do Eddy mate !!

hahahaha, fabulous Steve I'm sitting here with a massive smile on my face my friend reading this !

You are correct I had a software upfdate already happen so I can't reflect back to the previous version, my dealer is very proactive with the upgrades etc, for example last week I stopped there for a coffee they (my dealer Haneda) immiedately took adv. of this to refit my motorbike with the right side handle bar controller of which BMW global has issued a recall, so I recieved the letter from Japan yesterday however my dealer Haneda has already finished the replacement.

Hey Naveen, great to hear from you again and happy to hear you agree with my approach! 🙏

You’re going to love it, enjoy the ride my friend stay safe and hope to ride with you soon! 🙏

Thanks a ton Floor appreciate that 🙏🙏

Thank you Steve yes I will forever be an avid geek in aerospace, the 1300 is a real game changer for me 🙏👍

I completely agree, airports are fun places to visit and I also have good memories Andy 👍🙏

Thank you so much, I'm loving it so far. 🙏

Thanks my friend, happy to hear you enjoyed it 👍

Yes its a must visit Paul 👍🙏

Hello mate, happy to hear you took the 1300 for a test spin rode a short ride on mine again today and just loving more each time. It was a life long dream for me to ever own a GS so I am happy to have it now, the only ever bike I have considered is a T7 however that would be for off roading now what I love about the GSA is I can do both and have comfort on both offroad and onroad with the GSA and I love the events that BMW japan and Haneda organize and I have built up a great group of friends now, hope that helps mate 👍

@archjapanmotovlogs thanks for your thoughts, can I also ask how you decided between the GS and GSA? Understand you previously had the GSA, but trying to decide if the fuel range of the GS is an issue in the countryside (particularly Hokkaido). Any other features that made you lean that way?

@@alexscott3917 for me it is and will always be fuel anxiety which I've suffered with for a very long time, addtionall can the GSA be adjusted higher and its a longer frame as well from a geometry perspective GS 2212 mm vs GSA 2280 mm

Oh I am so happy to hear this and it's great to be part of the Haneda team! 👍 🙏

It’s such a lovely place to ride and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good motorcycle tour and maybe I should gather some friends in the future and head back 👍

A fab video Arch, more stunning scenery and a ferry crossing. I always enjoy putting the bike on a boat! 😊

Thanks so much Steve my friend, I completely agree ferry crossings are awesome 👍🙏

Awesome, thank you so much its so nice to wake up in the morning and read this delightful comment I vm appreciate it 🙏👍

Cheers mate, I'm looking forward to going on long tours with this one 👍🤘

Thank you, I'm really enjoying it so far then technology is a real game changer 🙏

Thanks so much and I would definitely recommend it the 1300GSA it's a huge leap in technology and ride quality, If you need an intro to Haneda then I'm happy to help out even if for a test ride on the new GSA mate

@@archjapanmotovlogs any optional parts you wish you added? Any chance they mentioned when the top boxes and panniers would be available?

@@lifewithpye2981yes i have now orderd the headlight protector as I do ride a lot on motorways and the radiator protector as well and the Hella to UBS-A cable that should all be here next week

@@archjapanmotovlogs the headlight protector is for off road options isn't it? Or do you mean the aux light protector?

@@lifewithpye2981 it's for both also for stones being kicked up from trucks on the highway

awesome thats a lovely bike as well, been here for just over 20 years however have never really studied the language just by speaking to people it helps the most i feel. Have a fun and safe ride on the GSA your going to love it !!

My pleasure, it connects via bluetooth to the camera all equipment is DJI

@@archjapanmotovlogs no I mean how does the mic physically connect to the back of the Dango?
