May Be the Last BMW Ride!! • Epic 2024 F900GSA! | TheSmoaks Vlog_3341

[@joezednick3197]

When you bought the Pan American instead of a brand that you sell, I figured there was obviously a good reason, and who better than a BMW mechanic to know why. Being an old timer, I'm just not into the complex machines. I just bump along on my Road King and enjoy the true soul of that wonderful motorcycle.

Nice test rip on the F900, nice bikes, but the maintenance costs to expensive for me. Interesting to see when BMW moves out of the showroom, who is gonna move in. Good stuff Smoak’s.

Evening Shawn, wow, I'm out of circulation for a little while, and things changed! So BMW is departing, are they? What's up with that bud? Gosh, that blows my mind. Well, anywho, you and momma have a pleasant evening and pet the puppers for me. God bless, Rob

[@JohnStruemph]

Nice bike. I don’t see how they can’t accept pictures on that “inspection”. That is so 90’s, LOL. Great vid as always! Be well Smoaks!

[@thomasangelo4219]

Motorcycle looks real good in black. Thank you for the video. Take care

[@chrismills4213]

Nice test ride…memories for sure. Have a good one👍

[@RogersMotorcycleAdventures]

Each to their own, but my R1300GS is the best bike I've ever owned. I'll be looking forward to hearing what you have to say after the end of the month.

[@russcoaus2043]

Great ride. Hi u2 have a great day. 😘🙏

[@49googie]

I see we have a dealer in UK doing the same, Reiten Motorrad. I guess they are just getting fed up being told what to do and what to spend.

[@aBluegrassPicker]

Lucky customer - that looks like a great bike.

[@pistolpete6321]

I must have missed the video where you explain it by why did the dealership decide to stop selling and servicing BMW?

[@andykendrick3744]

I hit a recap while riding my '72 CB750, don't follow a semi to closely, lesson learned.

[@centralcoastcruiser2084]

Wow! BMW did something against the grain to tick the owner off bad enough that they're tossing them out. This will likely upset your BMW customers who purchased a BMW because you guys sell and repair them and can warranty them. I'm sure you also purchased equipment that you may never use again and that's a bummer. Incidentally the 900 GSA is a beauty..

[@wayneschmidt8503]

What gives the higer miles traveling at a constent speed high compression or low compression . which one would go the furthest ?

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

Interesting 🤔🤔🤔 The sole reason I never purchased a BMW bike was the 2 dealers in Alberta are not the greatest. Edmonton dealer is definitely better than the Calgary one. But they just don’t seem to be as reliable as folks say so. I love my Triumphs and Aprilia and my new to,the shop the 2016 Indian Chieftain 🤓🤓🤓

[@tango165]

Is the shop picking up another brand now that BMW is gone? Looking forward to your real thoughts on BMW ‘next month’ 😎

[@je7887]

I have owned many BMW bikes. Would never buy another as BMW doesn't back their brand. One example, wheel hubs rusting on an RT 1200 after one year and was told it was "cosmetic"!

[@Mojo_Mike]

So Pro Caliber is dropping BMW?

[@Doug_Morgan]

Yes they have. Just selling off what they have left.

[@zippo1009]

You made me curious now! I can´t decide whether to buy a brand new F800GS or an Transalp, but now i think i´ll wait to hear what you ment....was planning to make a decision on saturday when i had planned to see the dealer, but i´ll guess i´ll wait a few weeks now 😊 I like the Honda Transalp for the quality, but i like the BMW most for the looks....hard decision anyway😖

[@centralcoastcruiser2084]

Just fyi, I own a Transalp and love it. It's an a la cart bike but the price is good. Take a test ride. You'll love it.

[@zippo1009]

@@centralcoastcruiser2084 Thank you so much for your reply, Sir! I will definately try it before i make a decision. I sold my -89 VT1100 Shadow 2 years ago, so it´s definately time to get on a bike again. Probably every bike is something totally new to me now, considering all that has happened since my last bike was built 36 years ago 😂

Bye BMW!!!
