[@trx350]

Really cool videos.

[@GopherChoker.]

👍👍 Glad your Friday was good! The HP trim on the adventure model would be even better. Cool bikes.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

I sure hope we get the GSA in HP trim in the US..! I'm sure we will, but they don't even list the R1250GSA on their US website yet... Thanks Aadam!

[@HARMARSCH2]

Shawn, That R1250GS HP is a very good looking Motorcycle as is the R1250RT in the black. Yes you can see the metallic blue in the paint. Have a great weekend. You and Kelly stay warm and dry.

[@petertrapani8701]

Shawn very cool Vlog at work with the GS BMW test ride etc. Beautiful Be Cool and Ride Safe.🏍🇺🇸🐶

[@gustwowheeling7337]

That GS is real purdy. I like the red RT from yesterday's video, better. Good stuff, Smoak.

[@fatguy8067]

I like Yesterday's bike better today, thanks for taking along for the ride/

[@charlesgregory9976]

My vote . Go with the red. Love that bike . Makes me smile

[@On2WheelswithDennis]

Love your videos amigo! Saludos desde España 🇪🇸! , just a cuestión, why is it that you guys still can’t have led indicators?? Like the Bmw ones that we have over here.. there really bright! Just curious. Keep the good work coming!! Regards Dennis

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Only because BMW hasn't updated their LED signals to meet US DOT requirements... Wish they would, as we love the LED's as well..! Thanks Dennis!

[@theChestnutMtnTinman]

We must have some of they extra chilly polar air as our 40-50 has seemed much colder.

[@Elskins]

That’s my new bike. Traded my 18 Rallye for 19 HP. Very excited.

[@matthewdooley6485]

Shawn with the new year coming, how about replacing the windshield.....lol

[@enchantedwarchief247]

Can you do a video on the 750gs LC

[@Bredaxe]

That GS is just unbelievable. If I walked into my local dealer and that was in display, I'd have to start the financing paperwork. That's a lifetime keeper.

[@pmdinaz]

You were so excited! I'm not a BMW guy, I AM a motorcycle guy though and I get it man, ya like what ya like! Seems like a really nice bike.

[@DEANO914]

Shawn, you get me more and more contemplating trading in my SGS for a BMW adventure bike! So Awesome!!!👍🏼

[@charlesemerson6763]

Actually 10hrs after you published it I watched it on Sunday night. Man those RT's are nice. Maybe next summer I'll sell the pocket rocket or build a new garage.:)

[@johnpaull5790]

Hello Smoaks...Ride Safe !!

[@jonathandorward]

We've got the GSA1250 over here in the UK,just watched a couple of KZbinrs doing Demo's on it !

[@peterwrench4416]

A wonderfully set up bike for the vertically challenged! They have started installing those fuel pumps here now, I never use the prepaid card option, always fill up then go in and pay the cashier, have a chat etc. Unfortunately with the increasing number of 'Drive offs' occurring nowadays I suppose it's only a matter of time before we have to pre-pay.

[@billcotton1551]

It is beautiful!

[@TheShahir362]

I wish they bring back the rally blue color with blue frame

[@geoffozevans4500]

Hi both hope you're feeling better Shawn, I prefer your GSA, what is the difference between yours & the GS HP, I notice that the one you rode had no spotlights, which look good on yours. All the best both 👍👍😎

[@superduty131]

Uhhhhh yup!! You did say October. Lol. Had to go back and double check, one of those " did he just say what I think he said moments?" Didn't look but imagine I wasn't the only one.

[@Jaycat48]

My Friday wasn't the best. We got hit with a pretty good earthquake. Tore a lot of stuff up. Then we had to stay awake most of the night thanks to the many, many after shocks. Anyway, good video, keep them coming.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Well no need to ask if you're up north of me..! Hope you and yours are all safe!! That's a mess up there. Take care and thanks for watching!

[@Harleyguy03]

You don't see too many GS reviews on this side of the pond. Thanks. I actually found a used one....at a Honda dealer of all places. Only downside it has the sport suspension.....may be too tall.

[@thejohnnerparty]

I am always amazed at the number of bikes you show us. Do they sell a bunch there?

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

It's quite shocking the amount of bikes they sell... We're usually the #1 dealer in our region for every brand we sell. It's nuts!! Thanks John!

[@mustang1191]

Do you find the little distortion in the windscreen distracting? Beautiful bike.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

I stopped noticing it a few days after it happened... Lol We'll replace it after the rock throwing spring thaw. Thanks for watching!

[@Walts-Travel]

You two are some serious characters. Lol

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Thanks Walter!!

[@DFox-ud3gx]

Man stay dry and have a great weekend

[@GazVanDyk]

I’ve just sold my Ducati Monster 1200 and really fancy a bmw. I can’t decide between the RS, GS and RT at the moment. I’ll have to get down to the dealer.

[@jamesgruhn-n0dfi647]

That cobalt black (blue) is beautiful. All I did Friday was fill the car and truck with gas. 10% ethanol was $2.14 a gal.

[@saddle8bag]

The chin fairings look pretty nice, but I probably wouldn't want to have to clean the muck they'll collect on their inners.

[@jimcaulk6225]

Yaaa,...the RT is a good looking motorcycle, ... the GS? ....I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....

[@redninja4520]

hey, what are they asking for 19 gsa? would love to get one. thanks

[@valensinclair6750]

That's a sexy GS right there. I will own one...one day.

[@dadoo370]

between the 1250 gs and gsa which one would you recommend ? I'm about to buy a 1250 gs hp but I don't know if the non adventure one is enough for me and my partner . Big thanks from UK

[@toddstephenson7154]

Well hello there Mr & Mrs Smoak. Man that GS HP looked soooo good with those leaves, it made my Sunday morning. Would one of those chin spoilers fit on a GS? What do you think it’d look like? Have a great weekend you two. I look forward to seeing what adventures you both get up to. Enjoy!

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Yeah boy, she's a looker alright..! I stepped off and looked back the GS in those leaves and thought the same thing! Lol If your GS is a 2013 or newer K50 Water-Boxer, they will bolt right on with the skid plate removed. That might just look pretty cool if you mostly ride on the road and don't need a skid plate..? Thanks Todd!!

[@toddstephenson7154]

TheSmoaksVlogs I was thinking the same thing, road only. Thanks Shawn.

[@timshelley586]

What is the seat height on the r1250gs hp

[@TJRohyans]

Parked under those golden trees made me want to break out all my camera gear and do a photo shoot! B-E-A-UTIFUL! Do they make you mop the floors after riding in with wet, dirty tires? Lol! I hope you're enjoying your Saturday. Peace and love.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Wish I had something more than my phone with me, and extra time, to shot that GS sitting there..! I'm the sales staff has my ears glowing red every time I ride a wet bike through! They have to use a steam mop to clean the floor... I forgot to take a lap in the upper service area to dry them off on this one. Somehow it was hardly noticeable, maybe this GS HP floats on air..? Lol Thanks TJ!

[@Bashe1965]

Wish I was rich so I could get one of those new 1250 ‘s in a GSA though dang their sick !

[@chadmock5883]

Why does the chin piece on the R1250rt come separated from the bike?

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

It's a Style Package add-on, and those can come in the parts kit for the bike sometimes. They may be concerned with crate/freight damage with the parts installed from the factory..? Thanks Chad!

[@after75]

Hi Sean, I still don’t get why so many people prefer the GS or GSA for street touring rather than the RT! What is your perception from customers? Just a question of trends or is there something more? Cheers and thanks for sharing!

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

The GS, and especially the GSA are extremely comfortable for highway use, plus their rider seating area is roomier than the RT, and their suspension will soak up anything you encounter. You lose the wonderful fairing and electric shield of the RT... Plus there's this urban assault vehicle presence about them, knowing that you can get out of or go through anything you encounter, even if there are no roads... Lol Thanks!

[@mattmccormick853]

Who has more dealerships were you are bmw or Honda was just curious

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Next to Harley-Davidson, Honda probably has the next highest number of dealerships in the US! BMW is very small in comparison... Thanks Matt!

[@mattmccormick853]

Hey thanks for the reply love your vids

[@MYBMWRT]

First reply, love your vids so don't take this the wrong way but you forgot the frame covers on that HP. ;-)

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

That info was cut from the video, but a potential customer wanted to see the bike without the frame covers... The covers are in the factory sealed bag and in the bike's deal packet. Should he change his mind, it only takes about 5 minutes to install... Thanks for the heads up though, as they may have been missing and possibly overlooked as part of the HP package. Thanks for watching!

[@MYBMWRT]

Awesome explanation thank you, keep up the good work!!

[@IanTed]

1250 Exclusive with wire wheels perfect, this is too flash for me😜

[@theChestnutMtnTinman]

I like the red better

[@ronkelly255]

The blue is cool, but . . . Think I still like the red 1250 better

[@imwatchingyou6113]

TheSmokesVlogs l am assuming that the BMW is quite a few dollars as it's advertising the only way you can buy this would be Hire Purchase signed on the fairing... currently in Goa India check out Rider Mainia 2018 like Daytona Indian style crazy ride safe...

[@albertosbrolla8424]

Nice scooter!👍

[@maj301]

I truly appreciate your enthusiasm for the BMW brand but you don't seem to own any... Why?

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Because I get to ride them for free... If that was to change for some reason, I'd purchase a GSA in a moment! Thanks!

[@RobsonSilva-rf5kc]

Gostei, brasil

[@gabriel24br]

Why Bmw made the GS with this color!!!!!!! Now I will need to buy one, beautiful color!!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Lol..! I think they know how to push our buttons!! Dang them... Lol Thanks!

[@joedoe7506]

that looong nose looks funny
