BMW F 900 GS AKRAPOVIC sound [RAW Onboard]

[@Clover2886]

Definitely the most beautiful GS of all time👍🏻

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@hatchetman2379]

Wow the death wobble at the start there

[@Schaaf]

Yea

[@schemkesa]

yeah that was scary! No comment from @schaaf about it in the video

[@LemonDrizzleGang]

Death wobble Get a grip it was the bars getting a bit lively

[@midhungopan9270]

1:05 that looks scary😅

[@Schaaf]

it could've been indeed when sticking to the throttle in that situation

[@martinlichtmaneker5023]

That's a no go!

[@TerraMagnus]

Yeah that looked like a death wobble was beginning!

[@moniquemoors1974]

My t7 does that on 180km/h with pirelli, just ride the bikes below that speed and they wil be fine

[@DerekFrampton]

@@Schaaf more a speed or tire issue?

nice to see that QS improvement, standing up feels nice on this one

[@Schaaf]

It's excellent offroad indeed

[@kugangles9860]

That tire wail is loud. That would get to me on a longer trip for sure.

[@Schaaf]

can't be changed with knobbies

[@theja63]

ohhhh so that's what it's called. For some reason I'd always get that at 60kmph and 120kmph. I suspected it had something to do with engine/wheel rpm frequency but never knew. It sounded like a loud siren.

[@disekjoumoer]

A Schööfl a day keeps the winter away! Also, head shake! Damn, maybe better with smoother tires, but it still scares me.

[@kugangles9860]

That's the tires and high travel suspension. Mixture of those two are prone to headshakes at higher speeds/spirited riding on the road.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks, Disek!!

[@simonthomas5367]

Nice quick shift! And a wobble at 1.10!! Nailing it as usual. A fun engine?

[@Schaaf]

Very fun!! Thanks

[@nasenblick]

Thanks for this video, great to see you again. 🎉 Did the wobble at 1:05 feel as scary as it looks in the video? And a side question: Why do you look into the mirror so long when turning?

[@Schaaf]

to see if the camera lens is still clean. The wobble would've been scary without any experience, nowadays I know how to calmly solve those

[@NetMillionaire]

Keep Giving it a handful ❤ great bike, love the speed wobble! 😊 nice and lively, good character I like it! 😊

[@Schaaf]

Thank you! 😁

[@PeraNS0]

Wondeful sound

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@MrSchokozwieback]

Klasse Video, was ist bei ca. 1:05, wackelt hier bei der Beschleunigung im höheren Tempobereich offensichtlich der Lenker?

[@Schaaf]

Nein, ist nur dieses eine Mal passiert und war eine Verkettung von unglücklichen Umständen. Ist aber generell kein Problem, wenn man weiß, wie man zu reagieren hat

[@TheBreizhoo]

Thank you so much for this video, as usual. Again, I like your driving so much, safe and mastered, it's a good refresh each time. I'm a bit disapointed by the lack of "personnality" of this BM, based on the video & sound. I expected more fun, more exhausted crakles. It seems they have worked so much to make it smooth, that they have lost the character of the engine. Only my feeling, I've not rided it yet... Comparing to the CFMoto450MT, it seems more fun, for half the price. I'm thinking to such bike as a second one, for offroad and fun. Maybe this BM is too much, better as a first one, not toy one. Let's see what the next BM GS450 will be, if they release it.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks a lot for the nice words! I actually think sound-wise it's pretty exciting for a Euro5+ bike. But I also agree that it is way too expensive for what it is

[@Tonyendosruedas]

Que belleza, algún día la tendré.

Hi Schaaf, bin echt beeindruckt wie selbstbewusst du fährst! Richtig gut Darf ich fragen wie lange du schon Motorrad fährst und welchen Tipp du mir geben kannst um auch solche Eier zu bekommen

[@Schaaf]

17 Jahre! Brauch keine Eier mehr, ist zu hundert Prozent in der Komfortzone mit ausreichend Reserven. Alles andere hat auf der Straße nichts verloren, musste ich auf die harte Tour lernen...

[@Schaaf]

Der beste Tipp ist, sich Zeit zu lassen und viel zu üben. Die Geschwindigkeit kommt dann von selbst.

[@0scartheCat]

I can see the RE Guerrilla 450 making a feature...

[@silv3rArrow]

How come the wobble happens like that with a steering damper? Tire design limitation?

[@Schaaf]

No idea

[@uguraykar]

Deser X vs F900 GS ?

[@Schaaf]

Why not both

[@thatsleepyman]

How is the F900 engine? I have a F850GS and under 3000rpm it feels like a studdering mess. You seriously have to ride up to 30km/h in first gear.

[@Schaaf]

definitely better in that aspect

[@kostasrestas]

i have a T7 and im thinking to sell it for f900gs or crf1100l 24' ...i keep thinking !! youre shutter from youre camera is at auto ???

[@szeriman13]

look at the description.

[@kostasrestas]

@szeriman13 i saw it but dont tell about shutter... so i guess is at auto right?

[@Schaaf]

Yes it's auto!!

[@Metalbat13]

Willst vielleicht nochmal kurz drauf eingehen was das für ein slip on ist ? Ist das der serien mäßige acrapovic oder ein anderer ?

[@Metalbat13]

Weil bei euro 5+ hab ich die anders in Erinnerung als ich sie probegefahren bin. Wo ist den das mikro befestigt ? 😅

[@Schaaf]

Ist der serienmäßige!

[@thodoris3790]

this,has the same motor with the 2025 f900xr?

[@sudhirjonathan]

Yes, same motor, similar build and position, but front tire is bigger in the GS.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@lovethytuber4770]

I think it's not a bad thing that BMW created more of a contrast between the GS and the GS ADV since most GS's spend 90% of their life on the road anyways. And if you want to do your 10% light offroading you can, just switch up the tires. Not a fan of the headlights tho. And thx for the non review, I've seen worse actual one's on some channels :)

[@Schaaf]

Hehe thanks a lot! I agree, they orientation of the 900 is great! A worthy successor to the old F800GS

[@Tashyncho-Sapa]

1:06 why this happened

[@Schaaf]

No idea

[@andreamanfredi3863]

1.09 bike quite dangerous at high speeds and does not depend on the semi-knobby tires here

[@Schaaf]

yea it shouldn't do that I guess

[@capz3217]

​@@Schaaf Does it have a steering damper like most BMWs?

[@andreamanfredi3863]

@@capz3217 yes it has and that is ridiculous

[@drewiediggler1]

The speed wobble isn't good. It can also happen on the Vstrom 1050 DE but only when pushed really hard. I blame the 21 inch front wheel.

[@Schaaf]

It's a combination of many factors

[@elmored5919]

Ich hatte die f900gs adventure von meinem Händler als Leihfahrzeug bekommen als meine zur Inspektion war. War für mich was ganz neues, weil ich vorher noch nie eine enduro gefahren bin. Grundsätzlich kam ich sehr gut mit ihr zurecht. Die Bedienung war für mich nicht ganz selbsterklärend aber machbar. Fahrtechnisch echt gut und nach kurzer Zeit fühlt man sich wohl. Allerdings war ich von dem Motorsound und dem akrapovic so dermaßen enttäuscht... das klang nicht ansatzweise so wie im Video. Der Motor klingt wie eine Nähmaschine und der slip on bringt nicht wirklich was bassiges raus. Überhaupt nicht zu vergleichen mit meiner bonneville 1200 bobber oder meiner 1290ktm superduke... selbst neine alte sv650 hat mit dem ixil einen insgesamt satteren Sound gehabt und ich spreche nicht von Lautstärke. Was aber ausgezeichnet funktioniert ist der quickshifter und blipper

[@Schaaf]

Hubraum ist durch nichts zu ersetzen, auch wenn es um den Sound geht ;)

[@Rainer.M67]

50/50 tires are what they are - neither one thing nor another

Used to have ever GEN of F800, the F900 is another beast. Totally different engines. I like the 900 a bit better by tests i've done. But i'll stick to my 1000

@@Real_Claudy_Focan I love sport-touring bikes, F800ST is my first bike, I'm 19, I bought it with a custom exhaust that made it sound way better, but it did not want to pass the inspection, so I had to change it back to stock

You don’t understand Chinese makers will only win if they stay cheap. But what about services and dealer contacts , I mean there is no good dealer network like the ones from BMW , Honda and such. And because of those things the Chinese brands will never get a big margin on the market , because the lack of those dealers

[@TheDarkness_92]

I got the chance to ride this bike on tenerife the whole day on awesome twisty roads and give you some of my impressions of it: Very nimble feeling bike with a nice engine and good working electronics. BUT: The seat was really hard, had a hard time after already two hours. After almost eight hours in the saddle I really couldn't it handle it anymore. Also the suspension was really harsh, altough the bike wasn't specced with the offroad focused Showa suspension. It really is more of a big offroad bike than an enduro for longer rides. My 24' Tiger 900 GT Pro is so much more comfortable altough it still can do it all while riding sporty (on the road at least). But big respect to BMW, for a really offroad focused rider this bike should be taken into consideration!
