The calming BMW R 1250 GS sound - Boxer Farts [RAW Onboard]

[@Schaaf]

It might surprise you to hear that some of my subscribers use my RAWs to fall asleep at night. When I started receiving comments some years ago telling me this I was offended first. I thought they should rather watch my stuff instead of going to bed with it. Obviously. But then I gave it 2 seconds of thinking and suddenly I felt great about it. Because I myself suffer a lot from sleeping issues and I've also used simple videos to help with falling asleep many times in my life. I realized that I can offer a bit of a relief to some of my subscribers. And that's something I love! I hope the 'special interest group' among my subscribers is going to enjoy this one here! :)

[@carlocazzaniga4496]

Wow, it's a great...😴

[@n.potter]

I think when people (including me) say that, they didn’t mean that your riding is so lame it’s sleepy. It’s just that your riding is so *smooth* making the bike sounds so soothing that it put us to sleep 😴 I had many good night sleep with that Goldwing video of yourd 🙏

[@hitanshjoshi6151]

Thank you for this buddy. Cheers 🥂 😉✌🏻

[@wiesiek1444]

This is THE BEST channel to listen while at work to keep up through the day to separate from the outside world and concentrate! I can see people use it to fall asleep which is also nice, your RAW videos are indeed extraordinary and something you get back to a lot. Greetings from Poland!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks a lot!

[@greyanaroth]

I thought i was the only one 😂. Even the spirited rides are very calming and make for great dreams. Plus the sound/recording quality is top notch 👌

[@Schaaf]

Thanks mate

It's actually quite soothing to hear motorcycle engine roar trough a road. It's moto ASMR and you're a maste at it mate... xD

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Ivan

Thanks John

[@robertkrar8498]

Well, I have to admit, that I very often listen to your RAW-s in order to fell asleep. Especially the boxer and V2 sound calms me down. I even listen to the RAW's during my, over one hour drive to work. Really satisfiying for my soul.

[@Schaaf]

I'm glad to hear that! Thanks!

[@LoneLeeRider]

I ride an r1200gs - and i have issues falling asleep. I love the boxer and riding melts away all the stress. Listening to the engine sound makes me visualize my ride and helps me rest. Thank you.

[@josephnail5074]

Das Video beschreibt einfach genau die Charakteristik der BMW, unglaublich entspannt, man braucht das Drehzahlband nicht voll ausreizen, das Motorrad ermöglicht dem geübten Fahrer jeden Moment zu genießen. Hätte mir als früheren Sport- bzw. Sporttouringfahrer nie gedacht, dass das Moped genau alles vereint was man sich wünschen kann. Eine unglaubliche Spannweite was das Gerät liefert angefangen von Ring bis zu Tourenfahren ist alles drin. Probiert es aus!

[@Schaaf]

So ist es!

[@shanewilson9924]

That twisty road just kept going, non stop corners. Love it!!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@bas4627]

It's just so soothing. Seeing landscapes I can't see, riding roads I can't ride, on bikes I can't have, with skills I can't match in perfectly edited wideo's on which you spend a lot of time that I don't have.. So the video's are nice short escapes for me. And corner after corner you reach 'the zone' where you don't think about your riding, not setting the fastest times but it just flows.. Hardly any braking. You can reach the same almost trance like state watching the wideo. Satisfying

[@Schaaf]

Thanks a lot :)

[@richmotion]

Great video - and more realistic to most riders style, very few rev each gear to the max. I like the lower reving parts of your videos for checking the sound of a bike at everyday riding. And yes, the GS has something very relaxing.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks a lot

[@wikstrom777]

Just goes to show that you can enjoy the twisties while still breaking-in the bike! And with the boxer’s midrange torque, staying below 5000 revs is not a problem. Fantastic video and sound, as always!

[@Schaaf]

Yup

[@VinayKumar-vz8cs]

The only channel which I come to if I want to listen how good a motorcycle sounds. I have to say you are the best for that Schaaf. Your videos are Awesome

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Vinay

[@scattmanscattman9816]

Nice riding style. Probably the most suited for the boxer. Amazing. The quick shifter of this gs seems butter like , even in the up shift at low rev.

[@DennisGarage]

The QS in the Boxer BMW's works best when in high revs, on low revs you'll be shaken quite harsh.

[@Schaaf]

Indeed. But with this kind of pace and revs it works well indeed

[@dannyjonze]

Yes it is good to listen to when it's time to sleep. It's because people get such a good feeling from your videos so a lot to be happy about.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks man

[@jakebasa1517]

Your videos calms our insomnia problems. Your aggressive riding makes me relax(I do the same on twisties, super aggressive downshifting). So so awesome!!!

[@Schaaf]

Glad to help!

[@brucekendall52]

These bikes handle the twisties better than a person would ever imagine.Thanks.

[@Schaaf]

Welcome!

[@theblackgravem8l8th]

This BMW motorrad is absolutely gorgeous. I've been watching at least 5 videos about this bike, and man, it's a beauty. Shame that I'm very low on money and will most likely never own one.

[@mindspinn311]

I watch your RAWs because they’re enjoyable, and yes relaxing. The problem is that I fall asleep watching them but I’m trying to stay awake!

[@Schaaf]

Sweet dreams!! :)

[@chrisw8646]

Thx Schaaf - Great vid - I myself own a farting boxer since 4 weeks after 4 Multistrada - an entirely different experience indeed - but still the noise from the front is very „special“ - I’ll keep following your inspiring rides - good luck and all the best to everyone out there - keep smiling

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Chris

[@pondbimtravel7661]

Thank you for your great video. I love to see you ride through canyon. I have never tried to use your work to help me to fall asleep, however, I would try it though and it is not because your content is boring but motorcycle sound is so sweet. Agreed with your subscribers.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks again

[@busansanai]

Me too. Moto exhaust notes in winding roads just… hit the spot. Great go-to-bed ASMR

And here I am again, watching Schaaf on a big GS in Andalusia! Last time this happened I booked a weekend away at Toro Adventure and it was the best couple of days riding I’ve ever had 😃 I’m ready for another trip there, just need to world to sort out letting us travel! Great video and hope you’re doing well! 👍🏼

[@Schaaf]

Awesome, I like to hear that!!

[@pistolpete6321]

The GS is surprising nimble for such a big bike! Great video!

[@Schaaf]

It is super agile indeed

[@u.g.6340]

Pure boxer sound, well driven... i could never fall asleep through this kind of sounds (also got sleep-issues), for me its a well made surrogate instead my own driving (i hope my english is not that bad?). So far, keep on making this stuff, the sound is music for us (my favorite is the 1290 super duke r). Die linke zum gruß mein lieber

[@Schaaf]

Many thanks :)

[@destinationyonder9752]

ASMR the right way! BTW, The GS on stock exhaust is the best stock sound ever!😍

[@Hillclimbfan1990]

I've never considered these videos/sounds to fall asleep with. I'm also pretty sure my girlfriend would not be happy if I tried it. Fortunately you also just made a good video I can watch, and it's the perfect video to test my new soundbar! It was meant to be.

I noticed the difference between the Hero 7 and the Hero 10. You must be happy, your "style" and settings have been an inspiration in my travels' recordings. Cheers!

Welcome. I actually like the image of the Hero7 quite a bit more. It's less sharp and better to post-process

[@KeisY94]

What a beautiful lullaby. I love at the same time I hate the Gs but..but the Iwo boxer on the Gs1200 or 1250 especially in this video just hearing them the say nothing but everything -*K*

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@snger3870]

WoW. This quickshifter works and sounds like a dual clutch transmission. Very impressive. On some of the first watercooled models it feels quite bumpy sometimes.

[@Schaaf]

Glad you liked it!

[@nicksimmonds578]

How do you have so little wind noise in your videos? I’ve just got a GoPro and my sound is mostly wind and not enough engine 🙉

ahhaha it happened to me too, a dad told me that his baby a few months old fell asleep peacefully when he heard the audio of my videos, having recently become a dad I immediately understood the importance of it and I was left with a lot happy 😍😍

[@Schaaf]

Awesome :)

[@ralfstegmiller5446]

Endlich hat der Schaaf begriffen wie man eine BMW Boxer standesgemäß bewegt!

[@Schaaf]

Bist du der Boxer Gott, der bestimmt, was standesgemäß ist und was nicht? Nichtmal erfahrenste Motorfahrer, die Millionen Kilometer runter haben, trauen sich zu, zu urteilen, was eine richtige und falsche Fahrweise ist. Ich frag mich, wieso du das kannst?

[@Tashyncho-Sapa]

correct me if I'm wrong, but when im watching this, I can feel this motor got so well balanced power, from the low the low rpm to the top and it stays on the road like a glue. riding on twisty roads like this feels effortless :)

[@Schaaf]

The engine is absolutely amazing but all modern big ADVs are completely effortless to ride :)

Thanks Mark ;)

[@ronaldmotosfwi12]

Hey moto noob here. How come you don't need to release your throttle to change gear? Is it not a manual gear shift? How does that work?

[@Schaaf]

it's manual gearshift but the bike has a so called quickshifter which lets you change gears without using the clutch and without releasing the throttle. Most modern middle class bikes have this feature :)

[@1MrBryn]

When my F900 was last serviced, they gave me a R1250R as a loan bike. Although I didn't love the bike (a little long and lazy steering for my taste), I absolutely adored the engine. It would be amazing if BMW put it in a more sporty handling bike. A new version of the HP2 Sport perhaps?

[@Schaaf]

That would be nice indeed

[@drbn3245]

Ich finde der Effekt ist so ein bisschen wie Motorrad fahren (oft sein sollte)…. man schaut einfach zu, genießt und das Gedankenkarussell wird langsamer. Mir persönlich sind nur einige RAWs von dir zu stressig anzuschauen, weil sportlich gefahren und mit ND Filter wirkt es dann irgendwann wie rasen. Oder anders gesagt, super Videos vor allem die lockeren oder spaßigen Fahrten!

[@Schaaf]

Freut mich, danke!!

Fourth time to watch this video hahaha. For my curiosity, if we compare to GoldWing, which bike you prefer according to your riding style.

[@Schaaf]

Both bikes require a riding style of their own. The GS is fun when riding fast and long and the GW is best when slowly cruising while going even further

[@gokulkrishm51]

Ah yes! The Bavarian who farts! Brilliant! 😆 Smooth rides are very calming. Imo, you should do more (if you can) :)

[@Schaaf]

Thanks man

[@matsrekdal3065]

I believe this video makes a good example of the well known 'noise', coming from the front of the GS. Am i right?😅 I've had several of them, and the only one without the noise was a 2012 model (old version). I didn't find it intrusive, but now i have a Multistrada V4s, and i believe it's quiter in this aspect, which will be appreciated. 😊 Among other, very few, complaints i have towards the GS, is i wish for a bit more compression and rebound damping. Especially when riding with my girlfriend / luggage. Would be interesting to hear your opinion on this, Schaaf. Great footage! 😃

the GS suspension sucks ass compared to the V4 S ;)
