BMW R 1200 GS Rallye X Motocross Testing

[@cdghostman]

That is a pretty heavy bike even without it's original accessories. This man would definitely need a vacation after using this on the mx race track. Just see how the bike goes down after eveey jumps, kinda real heavy and no matter what he does to distribute his weight in the rear or back, the bike still touches the ground with its front wheel first. Haha. Hats off to this guy.

[@nickmeier9356]

All bikes are “landed” front wheel first

[@gianluciano]

at least you don't have to tap rear brake in order to set front end low. Bike's front end's constantly pointing down. Thx telelever

[@MartinAlva]

Absolutely stunning drone shooting!

[@socialoracle]

Seems the front end is a little low on descent.

Thank you . 40k dirt bike now!!!

[@Danielpopcorn]

Miles, thank you for showing us all how the gs could be ridden. Well done! I have owned 2 gs1200’s and still don’t have the skills to ride a big bike on track like you did. It’s very impressive. Regarding the padding on the passenger mount, I read that it’s a custom job. I’d love to get a pair for my 17 gs. Those pads help so much with arm pump and stand up riding. I had a pair of stegs pegs on my ktm 350, and love them. Is it possible to point me in the direction of who made them for you? Or if you made them, could you share how to make them? I’d love a set! Cheers!

Hi Miles, makes the pads you mention for resting your legs whilst standing?

[@steve_kamrad5216]

awesome man. any suspension mods? Who makes the levers?

[@gregjansen9080]

G'day Steve, the levers are designed and made in Cape Town, South Africa. They are awesome, I used them recently on a 16 day ride in Africa and was so impressed decided to bring them in to Australia. They are the only levers I have used that do not crush my third finger and they are really beautifully built. Now the commercial part..."available online from Rocky Creek Designs" just google it and click on ADV BIKE ACCESSORIES.

[@DigitalProphet_]

Very nice! Where did you get those pads for standing. They are a big bike version of Pivot Pegz?

[@nathanielpina6568]

It looks like the levers are only available on the air cooled GSA's, any word on if/when they will be sold for LC GSA's?

[@danmurphy1994]

Perfect, exactly what i was looking for oddly enough: An experienced adult man, above average in size and strength, with an MX racing background riding a full sized ADV bike on an MX track throwing it around a bit. somebody please keep giving hin ADV bikes to flog around MX tracks lol, not a lot of big men in motocross, seems like average weight is like 160-170 for the adults, and anyone over 190-200 has let themselves go, not this guy though he has the size, strength and apparent fitness to do some very unique things with bikes this big, which isnt as irrelevant of a test to put these bikes through. ADV bikes are extremely popular, expensive and receive the majority of attention from the finest motorcycle background engineers on earth so they need to be able to withstand this level of abuse, even if only a select few individuals are capable of truly manhandling them to this level.

Sorry, but it just looks, and is, WAY too heavy and cumbersome to throw around a motocross track. I used to ride motocross (KTM 250 2 strokes, UK AMCA), and now have a '66 plate (late 2016) GS 'Triple Black' edition, and it really is way too heavy for this stuff (I'm 6'1" and 16 stone too). The 'boxer' cylinders stick out way too much as well, but if you drop this bike or have a real big/bad 'get off', then it's an expensive bit of kit to repair - rads, lights, indicators, instrument cluster, etc. Finally, on 2014-17 models, there is an official recall on the top fork/yoke casting, as they shear under 'high stress/impact situations' - this happened on mine, but BMW were great and repaired/modified it without any fuss at all (even collected and delivered the bike back - and all done in two days).

This bike is expensive, very expensive like 2.5x more as compared to competition(Tiger), at least in india but its 10x better than its competition, especially on our indian roads and off roads. I rode one and its miles better than my Tiger 900rally pro, (like literally miles better). I don't think even tiger 1200 can beat it outright.
