Thanks for the seat shaping demo! And explaining some of the things to do to a brand new bike. Sweet.

[@verdemaison]

[@velokid1]

I want that BMW! Love the test rides, fellas.

[@teddy8363]

I have it

[@truthseeker2587]

For some reason I keep coming back to this video. Great looking setup and fits this rider well.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

My favourite BMW and the only one that would tempt me back to the marque.

[@CajunGreenMan]

Yes please, how to make a seat! possibly could do two videos, one very in-depth discussion of all the foams and other materials and where to buy, and then another on how to make a seat.

[@stevebrinkert8339]

I too liked the background music, love the daily’s.

[@belgianbushrc7934]

It's "only" around 110hp though. But I love the bike!

[@FreshnessFactor]

Possible to make a larger custom seat for the Urban to make it better for 2 up touring that has similar styling to the original? Looking to possibly get one next year.

[@timmyriney1648]

Is that the new slayer remix for Alec's section? Very nice!

[@shyyphotography]

they also forgot to bleep Alec's entire rant about wrecking rentals. LOL

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Hi, great video....can you tell me if those are stock bars on the Urban GS....they look quite high...? Steve

[@the.friendly.misanthrope]

hi steve , i'm not alan, but i can answer your question. 🧐 since i'm lucky to own such a beautiful roaring beast. Its not the stock bars. Stock bars are lower, silver and without strut. greetings from bavaria, Marc

[@maximignatyuk9836]

Could you tell more about urban gs suspension? Did you change it front and rear? And what at the front, just inner system?

[@RevivalCycles]

The suspension is a complete replacement of the fork legs, but it retains the stock wheel, brakes, and triple clamp. The forks are 43mm conventional Ohlins. Then in the back the complete spring/shock assembly has been replaced with a new Ohlins shock. Damping and spring rates are selected for the specific riding and rider preferences. If you are interested in getting some suspension upgrades, contact [e-mail] and we can get you setup with what you need. To get the most out of your suspension, it is best to talk through what your goals are.

[@shyyphotography]

when you gonna replace that chain bruh!

[@victorylanel3150]

tonight the music seemed so loud, actually it really does rather listen to Alec than Georgie boy

[@tonyclausen8106]

Do you guys work 7 days a week ? I've often heard you you referring to working Saturday and Sunday. Just interested because here in New Zealand hardly any machine shops/ fab shops are open in the weekend and retail bike shop only open for 1/2 Saturday.

[@RevivalCycles]

Yes Tony, we often work 7 days a week and our retail store is also open 7 days a week. It helps that we love what we do.

[@kirilcavdarov965]

This bike looks so much better than the touring gs. Much closer to the original.

[@VivianThompson]

Is that dark screen on the urban gs from Wonderlich?

[@the.friendly.misanthrope]

yes, it seems to be

[@rallenrallen]

What helmet is that you're wearing on this ride? Cool ride though ;-)

[@RevivalCycles]

[@rallenrallen]
