Gas Gas ES700 Review | Absolute Carnage!!

I've tried all sorts of enduro and adventure motorcycles over the years and the Gas Gas ES700 could be the perfect real world trail ridding motorcycle!
Its light, fast but also has decent road manors and mile munching ability, while keeping the essential lightweight handing which makes a good off-road machine!

Appreciate the risks your 360 camera took in the making of this entertainment.

[@Roberta_Esposito]

crazy

[@jonnytheboy23]

That horrible realization when you have taken a route that is really difficult and you have gone too far, and/or can't turn the bike around so the only option is to keep going...the relief when you finally get back to something resembling a real road! Great review.

[@peterpearce8867]

Had that happen when I decided to go ‘off road’ across south Wales to Fishguard on my way to Eireland. Got to the top of a ‘mountain’ cloud dropped within minutes and I was greyed-out! Had to chase sheep through the mist and bogs back to ‘civilisation’ - a white-painted farmhouse in the distance.

[@peterpearce8867]

On the other side, marshalling on the ISDE and watching the pros launch through a farm gate and land halfway down a steep muddy field then slide sideways to exit the field from another open gate was a marvel to behold.

[@petervautmans199]

I ended up once in something similar to Chopsy on my S1000XR. I know now why BMW changed it from the Adventure to the Sports category in the catalog.

[@LambChopRides]

Tell me about it! 😄👍

[@ryanmalone2681]

Such a bad feeling. Never had it on an MX or dual sport, but certainly felt it on my GSA and Tiger 900 RP.

[@HellbrandGrimm]

Smashed my 690 Enduro R, thank God I didn't cheap out on gear, Klim adventure pants are in pieces but my ass (and knees) are in one. Careful out there boys.

[@robinsmiggy3884]

Love the way you “ deliberately” took a tumble to show us the Akra can Chops! Nicely done👍

[@LambChopRides]

Can see it better from that angle 😄👍

Chopsy, this is one of the funniest videos out there, you're a star for putting this out, thank you for your personality & subsequent laughs!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks very much 😄👍

[@glennfielding4099]

Oh, you are very welcome, just when I thought that it couldn't get funnier you get swamped by midges! You should sell this video to Ricky Gervais, honestly. I'm stuck in a hotel in Anchorage, the other side of the world from my family & this video has kept me chuckling all day! Thank you.@@LambChopRides

[@alanshearing7515]

Well you definitely had a knee down !. Great video Chops , I’m sure this type of machine will be popular with the off on road younger riders who go and explore. It’s got loud styling and bright colours.

[@davem3008]

Love it! Cracking vid Chops 👌

[@shadowred1980]

The 360 survived. :) Yes, up here many of the routes I used in the past are closed. It's perhaps why I see loads of the supermoto version of this bike, hardly any of this one. Great review as always.

[@paulsmyth497]

Absolutely brilliant. I was chuckling all the way through that. Your pain for our entertainment Chops. You’re a legend pal 😂

[@LambChopRides]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍

[@Supaxiro]

This was pure comedy. Especially the swarm of flies following you. 😂😂.

[@peterpearce8867]

I rode a CCM 560 MX bike converted to road legal to work (80 miles) and loved slicing thru traffic on it like a hot knife thru butter! Bars were high enough to clear car mirrors with ease, plastic was more forgiving of damage than expensive metal or ABS fairings, 300mm of ground clearance could manage any pothole London streets could throw at it!😊

[@pistolpete6321]

I bet the truck and the van are still trying to work out how to pass each other! Great review!

[@davetalton6939]

I have to say Chopsy you’re selling the green laning world to us! 😂😂

Haha 😄 👍

[@paulfowler6665]

Laid up in bed with a bad back this morning this really cheered me up. Youve overtaken the Missenden Flyer as my go to KZbin bike channel now. He needs more comedy and to start falling off a bit like you to keep us entertained like you do.😂 Oh and Andy's gone AWOL again this morning! Keep up the good work Chopsie

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Paul 😁👍hope the back improves for you 👍

[@78Outlaw]

Nice one Chopsy, been looking around for a go-anywhere tourer so will take one for a demo run,

[@3kdn]

Great video and comedy gold!

[@talkingrock7011]

The bike is a great machine for the 50/50 rider , good basic bikes are difficult to buy these days especially for the purchase price thanks Chops ride safe

[@ragerider6283]

Great vid Chops, this is very entertaining but has done nothing for any ambition I may have had to go off road. Fun watching you though lol.

[@wattie1050]

Nice one Chopsy 😁 good to see you offroading again .... Never easy lifting a bike up off-road !!! Like lifting a mate off the ground that's well pissed.😀😀😀 a usual day in the countryside there , ate with midges , moaned at my dogwalkers , cars and vans clogging the place up 😁😁😁 especially midges in your Helmet 😁😁😁👍

Haha was an eventful ride! 😄👍

Interesting new approach to showing us “around the bike” with it laying on its side 😆👍!

[@tracktime1196]

Best review yet Chopsy, you worked so hard you had a little lie down and the midge attack had me PMSL 😂 I'm a wagon driver and I think I might have chosen a better route than that but the van was not very helpful at all like you said. Shame all the green lanes and byways are disappearing they should definitely keep them open

[@Missis701]

Get into Wales for some lanes Chopsy, absolutely brilliant and you get left alone! Loving that GasGas !

[@cecilwilson5442]

Were are wombble , and Greg in the time of Great laughter,,😞😞 another great video 👍👍👍 ☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland

[@mathias6423]

Finally! I have been waiting for this one, YAAAY! The WP XPLOR suspension is more than decent, it is actually very good suspension, so suspension is not something that they have "cheaped out" on with these bikes. I have the WP Xplor Pro suspension on my Husaberg FE 501 Enduro, it is race spec. I have to ride about 70 minutes highway to get to the nice offroad places where I live, and while it still sucks riding a bike like this on the highway especially if you are 200cm tall, it is perfectly doable. The engine is doing fine on the highway at 60-80 mph (100-130km/h) like mentioned in the video, it is just that you are sitting very high up and you get a lot of fatigue from the windblasts. The GASGAS ES700 is like my 690 ENDURO R 146 KG DRY, so with a smaller slip-on which removes the catalytic converter and basically makes it a full system made at least my bike weigh 156 kg fully fuelled when we put it on the old scale. Almost 100 KG lighter than the V-strom you rode with Greg against the Africa Twin, that is a big weight difference. Back to Enduro school for you old man And after that we want to see you and ole Greg ride the Desert X comparing it to the KTM 890 Adventure on some on and off road shenanigans! PS. Did you mean TET ? The Trans European Trail ? It runs through Sweden where I live and goes through whole Europe and even up to you guys in the UK.

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah that's it the TET, thanks buddy 👍

[@UsernameKate]

Oh chopsy, you crack me up! We're gonna have some fun Tuesday, I can sense it 🤣🤣

[@pyrodoll2422]

The 690 enduro is my fantasy 3rd bike.

[@kuhndj67]

Have the 701 but really like the Gas Gas color and graphics.

[@701Adventures]

As an owner of a Husky 701 I can honestly say these bikes do not need re-mapping nor do I agree with Chopsy’s comment that they’re not any good for touring the country. People use these bikes for travelling the world never mind just the country. 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Is yours remapped or power commander? If not then you don't know what your missing

[@701Adventures]

@@LambChopRides No, not remapped, the engine performance is standard. I've got an Akro on it but I've no idea whether that gives me an extra couple of HP or not. However I've got a Husqvarna FE350 as well and that will leave the 701 standing especially on the trails. Now that is an animal! 😳

Well choppsie after the week I have had full new hip and you have just made laugh which didn't think i could do at the moment, so thanks for that mate, and bye the way i know it's a gasgas but ktm have just got away of setting suspension up not like Japanese manufacturers just throw anything on and hope it works. Ride safe mate.

[@LambChopRides]

Haha 😄👍

[@GaryFackler]

Ahhhhh, yes ... the joys of off roading. You can keep it.

[@ulfjonsson22]

You could try getting on the pegs a bit more often, it gives you more controll and frees up the bike to move with the obstacles. I was quite often dropping the bike when I starten ridning Enduro 11 years ago but that phase will eventually end, you just need to put in the hours…, keep it up,,,, cheers!

[@stevekirk6399]

I love this type of bike it's an all-rounder. A mototard set of wheels and tyres I think you would use it 90% of the time. it's a great commuter, a Sunday ripper with your mates and a spot-on green laner. do we really need a 200BHP bike? Just been for a rip around Cheshire on my mate xj600 on a + b roads fantastic fun, a lot of work. then came home on my Tiger Sport 1050. the tourer is easier to ride. I understand why you have both. enjoyed that well done.

[@kindnessalwayscomesback2419]

That reminded me of a carry on film another great review had everything , I'm starting to watch chops for the laughs now not the bikes

Hello, I notice the heel guards on this bike. What brand are they. Thanks

[@essexboydave]

Takes me back to when a bought a new DRZ400 to commute to work But I couldn’t help but go laning on it and doing wheelies and practicing supermoto slides on it As you can imagine it ended up on the floor many times but it was so durable you could just pick it up and off you went again

What do you think of the seat height? I bought one not knowing it's one inch taller than the KTM. Now I wished I went the KTM route.

[@petervautmans199]

When I was young, a lot of people rode the dirt roads in my village on MC machines (illegal, but nobody cared, we also had 4 dead in 5 years, colliding with a rope, a barbed wire fence, a cyclist and an agricultural tractor) Belgium was world leading in MC at that time. Maybe silent electric dirtbikes will bring this back someday.

Hello Lambchops, I have a quick Q relating to previous video on 690 SM to ask you: The remap on your pals bike & your own PC5 - do you know roughly what mpg you got after please? (I have 690 and am considering Rade aux tank but if need a remap after, wonder if that will consume the extra capacity due to lower mpg). Thanks. Saving this to watch later..

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it uses 10 - 15% more fuel now I would guess..

Great view on green lane riding. Now reall bit pointless so much is restricted or made out to be by signs taken out. I have a beta 300rr ace bike but as you say comprised for road. Plus tyres are everything off road chalk in the wet like ice. Don't forget tractors and horses can still use them. 200 kg adventure bike 😂 more like 240 plus with fuel. Personally should may be only use byways say 6 until midday on a Sunday and a say Tuesday.

It's crazy how comfortable and seamless you look riding on the streets, and how completely out of your element you look on the trails 😅 I've ridden dirt and trails since a child, no motocross or anything serious, plenty of full bore motocross bikes though (bought my first CR250R at 11yrs old, first "big" bike, not first bike), so I'm the opposite of you, super comfortable off-road, plenty of street experience with my last trio of bikes being the CBRXX Super Blackbird and a pair of CB750's(one single, one dual cam), but I'm nowhere near as proficient on the streets as yourself....all I can say is, balls of your feet for dirt, not your arches, and relax, let the bike and it's architecture do the work.

[@keithwaller4545]

Ps I've gone back to mountain biking where I live in Cotswolds most of the restricted byways would be fine all year use. As rocky type Roman road type or just a track across middle of farmers field crops not live stock. I think horses do more damage than bikes . But I the case of uk a lot on people just don't like off road green lanes . We have to many London set here which doesn't help. As for Salisbury plain last three time we went army had red flags up so many of the byways shut which really limits you tracks. As for the gravel roads are just boring.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

I wouldn't say no to the Gasgas SM 700. Cast wheels, but they look like spoke wheels. Anyway, you're not talking about the SM. 8:10 That off sounded quite painful. I bet you scratched the bike, as well. You'd think the speedo could incorporate a basic rev counter. You are better offroad than I am, mate. Nick J [NJ]
