Thanks

Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's clear you've seen a lot of changes over the years. I can relate to that feeling too, even though I'm younger. Those memories and the evolution of motorcycles are truly something special.

@@MOTOLOGUES Thanks for the fast reply I enjoy looking at the new bikes and can appreciate the tech but life is a comparison so that takes care of that.I will subscribe to your channel.And don't worry I am not a chatty cathy you might here from me when the blue moon shows.

@@coolmonkeymc8268 Thanks for subscribing! Glad to hear you enjoy the content and appreciate the tech. No worries at all, feel free to drop by whenever the blue moon shows! 😄 This is a small channel, and I make sure to reply to every comment..

Looks like it made quite an impression! Thanks for the feedback! 😎

Sounds like you're a fan of the classics! Thanks for sharing your preferences. Maybe BMW will take some design tips from CFMoto in the future! 😅

@@MOTOLOGUES I’m actually a GS fanboy, I have a 1200 and have had 2 before this bike. My next GS is a 1250 Rally, I just don’t like the new direction they’ve taken, nor do any of my GS mates! Maybe the BMW car designer that made the car nostrils (kidney grill) is now designing their motorcycles. After owning eight 3-Series on the trot, they too have just become too ugly so I’m driving an Audi A4!

Nice choice! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! 👍

Sounds like the new models havent won you over. Guess they're aiming for a different vibe now, but some people still seem to like it. 😉

🙌🏼

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Upgrading bikes is always exciting! Stay tuned for more content. 🚀🏍️✨

The BMW R 1300 GS is more powerful compared to the BMW R18. The R 1300 GS produces 143 hp, whereas the R18 only delivers 91 hp. Although the R18 has higher low-end torque (158 Nm vs. 140 Nm), the peak torque of the R 1300 GS comes at higher RPMs, providing more sustained power across different speeds. This means the R 1300 GS will accelerate faster, have a higher top speed, and climb hills more easily than the R18. The low-end torque of the R18 makes it ideal for relaxed riding and cruiser style. These are different needs and purposes. The R 1300 GS excels in off-road and adventure touring scenarios, while the R18 shines in a more laid-back, classic cruiser experience. Both bikes are impressive in their own right, just designed for different riding styles.

Looks like it's 50:50, judging by the comments! 😄

Well, at least the HD Panamera has extra room for luggage! 😂 But heyy, this bikes got its own charm, right? Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate your thoughts on the rear central light. Safety is super important, and it's great to have these kinds of discussions. Hopefully, BMW takes this into account in the future!

@@MOTOLOGUES it’s the Emperor’s new clothes all over again. We just had it in the UK with so called “Smart Motorways” where the “Hard shoulder” was used as a full time lane. It took a lot of persuasion to overcome this stupidity. It’s like this, a corporate player will explain to an individual why the company is right and that all other customers agree with the corporate line. However, if all customers were asked the question as a group they would collectively disagree with the company. When that’s settled we can get back to the argument about nesting options in menus. Tantamount to texting while driving which is illegal in the UK. Very disappointing.

@@Erictheha1fabee Thanks for sharing your detailed thoughts! I appreciate the analogy and understand your concerns about corporate decisions and safety issues. It's important to have these conversations to ensure we're all thinking critically about the impacts of such policies. Let's hope for more sensible decisions in the future. Your feedback is valuable!

So far, thats just an estimate, but Im pretty sure it wont be much different from the actual release price. So, yeah...

Yeah, it might just be a matter of taste. In another video, some people said this design is really cool, even calling it the best in the series.

Yeah, not everyone likes it 🙃

Sorryyyy,

Also with the price? 💰

Same weight as the predecessor and even more power. So nothing special to worry about.

Good point! At least you know you're getting consistent power for your money! 💸

Its weight isn't much different from the previous GS, and BMW says the current series has better weight distribution

A lot of people are saying this design is cool, even better than the previous GS series. It all comes down to taste :)

@@miswardijafar Yap!

It's actually the same as the existing R1300GS tank. We're curious about BMW's reason for designing a tank that looks like a suitcase. 😅

Same size as the Ducati, but on the Ducati the fuel gives you 480 km of reach and on the GS 600 km. For adventure bikes it is a huge difference.

@@MOTOLOGUES The GS is made like a tool and not for the boardwalk like the Ducati.

@@markm9978 But they made the same capacity in the previous GS series without needing to shape the tank like this. Although, I still think its cool.

@@markm9978 I mean, they had the same capacity in the previous GS with a 'normal' tank. I'm not saying I don't like this one; it's really cool

✌🏼👌🏼

👍🏻👌🏼✌🏼

Mmm... 🥲

Hope so too 🙂

lets hope 😌

Let's hope 😊

I will buy it, From Turkey, Konya !!❤

that would be cool 🏍

agree, the Suzuki DR650S is an incredible bike. Its timeless appeal and ease of operation, maintenance, and repair make it a great choice for many. Do you have any personal experiences with this bike?

Thanks for bringing that up! From what I know, Suzuki has made some improvements over the years, but it's always good to stay informed about potential issues. It's really unfortunate that similar bikes aren't available in Europe now. Hopefully, we'll see more options in the future!

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll be more careful next time. Appreciate your attention to detail!

@@MOTOLOGUES I'm waiting for the Ducati 450 to come out I bet it will have 65hp

That would be awesome! Let’s see what they bring to the table. 🚀

Thanks for the comment! I totally get your worries about inattentive drivers. It can be pretty scary out there. But yeah, the DR650S is such a cool bike! Do you have any tips or experiences on staying safe on the road? would love to hear more from you.

I agree, adding EFI to old engines can really make a big difference. I actually made a video about this before, hoping we’d see EFI by 2025, but it hasn't happened yet. If you want to check it out, here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6atpmh5n9x4aaM

Gummed up carbs? Use quality fuel before you store the bike! Ethanol in the fuel is a big no-no! I get Shells V-power or Aral Ultimate. Those fuels are essentially ethanol free. Never had a problems when doing this, even after 6-7 month not using the bike they come back to "live" with out problems!

Good tip! Quality fuel makes a big difference, especially with carbs. Thanks for sharing.

I totally agree, it’s a timeless classic.

Yeah, the 90s were something else! so many iconic trends and memories.

Good things owners can easily and inexpensively tune the carb and uncork the exhaust, and the effective mods have been understood for decades 😆 The 650 is a stalwart bombproof reliable engine and while it's not a powerhouse, it is powerful enough to do it's job and they are great for doing wheelies, so there is that! The only real beef I have with the 650 is it should have the same quality suspension that the DR-Z 400 has. Ya, the 400 is sprung and valved way too soft, but it has far more tunable and advanced cartridge suspension which can be tuned to work quite well. I had a built 400, that bike's achilles is it's close ratio 5 speed borrowed from the off road "E" and "K" models. The DR-Z was a 6 speed wide ratio transmission away from dual sport perfection.

@JamesPiccone Oh, got it! So they can't make changes due to existing EPA regulations. Hopefully, there'll be a way to update things while still following the rules

@craighoffman6876 Cool insights! It sounds like you have solid experience with both the DR 650 and DR-Z 400. I understand what you mean about the suspension and transmission differences between them. If you're interested, I've actually made a video about this even before its official release. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6atpmh5n9x4aaM

@@MOTOLOGUES I'd be all over it if it was fuel injected with six gears.

@JamesPiccone Hope Suzuki brings that to life in the future
