Tour de Baron ep07: Costa del GSXR

[@darko38]

Haven't seen Baron Von U-turn for a while, wonder what that lad's doing.

[@KLH631]

I love that you're showing people that you don't need a cruiser or touring bike in order to travel long distances. I'm in awe of all the scenery and that was one sweet hotel room!

[@DangleVonBallbag]

As I sit in my office on a dreary Essex Monday lunchtime, accompanied by a half eaten feta cheese and red pepper wrap and a bottle of Evian, I can't help but think you were having a slightly better time of it on a bike that's only 98% there. That hotel room looks similar to the 1st one we saw in France - both look very nice indeed.

[@plasmabhai]

Touring, spending long hours on the saddle out on the open road has that effect on the rider. And every man has had the same emotion that was expressed by you towards the end of the video, when they and their motorcycle eventually make it. On the road it is the reliability that matters, not performance. And when a motorcycle delivers reliability it is means so so much more than going a 10th of a second faster on the track. Great series!

[@dlus6369]

Awesome feeling to think you and your little motorcycle have left your house and taken you to a completely different country/culture/environment! I had the same feeling! I enjoy this series more than most things on TV....not Breaking Bad though, I'm not ridiculous.

[@TheBarnz91]

A great advert for Suzuki. The bike that does it all. Thanks Barron for taking us with you on your amazing trip.

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Enjoying this series mate, nice work!

[@motomonkey861]

Working... ''Message: BaronVonGrumble uploaded Tour de Baron ep07'' stop working! Time for a break, have to watch this!

[@David123321]

I stayed home from work today, I had a feeling that Baron would upload today :p

[@Bhong666]

David Bajen Same here, turns out Tonsillitis has an upside...

[@JarrodKTkach]

Bhong666 Hell i skipped coffee to hurry and watch this lol

[@motomonkey861]

The fun part is that i rode the same road 6 months ago as Baron. At 3:44 its a roundable where i used to go ride to go to the camping: 'Mas Patoxas' Baron took the 2nd turn heading to Begur, lovely place to ride!

[@fabiansolis1393]

Wait what happen with the stuff in the back

[@Schaaf]

another fantastic episode!

[@M4BoarBiker]

Have to agree with Jean-Pierre, you do need the V5 when riding in Europe. It's not proof of ownership but it is proof that you are the keeper of the vehicle. Great vid again Mr Baron, best biking one on KZbin :)

[@nzmotorcyclist8203]

Loving the tour, I can't wait to get back to the UK, the access to all this right on your door step, I did a push bike camping tour through France Belgium and Holland last year (with my 80 year old Dad), it was a real eye opener to just how easy it is to travel cheaply (re an earlier vid where you said there is no need for flash hotelks really) though so much history, I'll have to think about a motorbike tour too. I have been in isolation (New Zealand) for far too long!

[@NinjabootsVlogs]

Is it weird that i get really excited when you post another Tour de Baron?! Great Job! Can't wait for more!

[@Edgez360]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching all of these. Always wanted to do a bit of touring. This has only reinforced that need. Great stuff as always.

[@cdsmith1990]

You're supposed to poo in the toilet, while pissing in the bidet.

[@alasdairedits]

Not been checking for uploads on your channel since last year and to see there's 6 more of these to watch made my day ;D going to watch them now.

[@s13nicotrico]

good thing that you took your time with the series and publish it in winter, cause otherwise I would've taken my bike and driven off to somewhere tomorrow after watching this episode

[@Gatrenzwerg]

I found the very place you've been standing in the end... :) 2 Passeig Josep Mundet, Sant Antoni de Calonge, Catalonia, Spanien

[@thowmaz]

that's kinda creepy :p.. Cool you found it ;)

[@MegaSsssdd]

I love the thought of the maid walking in to see you with a helmet on speaking to yourself

[@Pining_for_the_fjords]

I am enjoying this series. I've never ridden outside England, but I know some folks in Italy, Poland, Denmark and Norway, and you're inspiring me to get my life together, save a bit of money and do a transcontinental tour.

[@sobek]

Likewise. Id love to do a tour of Europe on a bike

[@metzn5en]

I drove my gsx1000r k7 through Poland and Czech on my first 3dkm solo ride. Inspired by adventure riding i bought a gs1200Adv and still regret it. Wish i kept the gixxer. Great episode again sir.

[@akshatrajan]

Brilliant episode Baron! I can relate to your feeling of being "overwhelmed". A bike is an odd touring vehicle, I always feel it kind of dwarfs the distances. It's very different from driving. Kinda like if you kept going, any destination is reachable, but in a very real way! i love that feeling. Can't wait for my next ride. Damn!

[@YeOldOak]

We need this stuff on TV - proper Man-telly for a Sunday evening. Keep it as it is without the TV Gurus glamorizing it in their typical fashion and after the watershed keeping it real.... A kind of selection of the latest hand-picked motorcycle Vlog trips by Joe-public. This new series will have to start with barons off-road one though, cos that will pull in the crowds. Yeah dream on.....

[@davidrobert2007]

Don't forget we will also need adverts for motor oil / spark plugs / beer etc as well :)

[@BaronVonGrumble]

im actually going to be on Motors TV this week on "BikeWorld". I bumped into them in Almeria and gave a quick interview #allfamousandshizzle

[@YeOldOak]

davidrobert2007 Ah yes, of course.

[@YeOldOak]

***** Nice, shall keep an eye out for that then. (Thursday ep1?)

[@BaronVonGrumble]

***** yeah, think its thursday - def ep01 so yes.

[@Lar308]

Loving this series Baron - inspires me to take one of my bikes to my place on the costa del sol some day and to one day own a GSXR just like that.

[@Lar308]

Epic trip. Not the same but I once drove my old 1991 VW polo (the breadvan type) from south west Ireland to Plymouth and then got the ferry to Santander. It struggled over many of the high climbs that sometimes went on for miles but I eventually got there - to my apartment on the Costa Del Sol. Where was that - looks like estepona but then many seaside resorts look the same. I hate them off season - the whole place seems so dead.

[@nedj10]

Baron, Did the front brake issues occur due to simply the age of the pads or did they fail due to the conditions you road through in France?

[@johnkittinger988]

6:43 was the place of my first crash, the left ditch going the opposite way, going wide. Nice series Baron! Keep up the good work

[@Dracati]

Bravo Baron ! Another great edit and episode. Love seeing the ocean near the end of your journey to the racetrack.

[@yufers]

I think it's amazing in just a few days you and that little machine were able to put yourself in a completely different environment/climate.

[@LesterStyles]

Really appreciate your efforts putting these vids together for us fans, Baron. Envious..

[@shaneweightman]

Good vid mr Grumble they are all good watched them all , and given a thumbs up, good old gixer, had a few in the past various cc s, question in all my years on motorcycles, always shyed away from magnetic tank bags, incase they scratch the paint, how as yours faired please,,,cheers shaneweightman

[@MrAusadventure]

Baron Von Bloody Macbook! Another thing we have in common! Are you using iMovie or Final Cut Pro to edit? Those tight twisties with bugger all visibility around corners are a lot like my local hills. Too right, you do have to ride more sensibly when touring far from home. I did a vlog on that such topic whilst touring earlier this year. I call it "riding at 80%".

[@WheelsNotHeels]

You should do commercials for the GSXR...great tribute to the bike. And another really nice ride through that countryside. Well-done!

[@LawAbidingCitizen0365]

Another fantastic, informative & yet funny episode Baron. I like many others are eagerly awaiting the next and all future episodes. Fantastic!!!

[@BlackcatFromElsass]

Baron THANK YOU for these beautiful images ... the sea .. the sun ... it's good for morale because here in France we have a f#%ing sh$t weather !

[@itsgambini99]

thoroughly entertaining Baron, I'm new to VBG but I've just watched all the Euro tour clips back to back and it's making me pine for Europe, hope you're making some cash from this somehow, keep up the good work-

[@Beaver314]

epic journey is epic. you laugh, you cry, maybe you learn something on the way. thanks for sharing!

[@sophie02222]

Nice work appkecrumblevongrumblerrrrr. You've become more chilled out in these last couple of films. I love watching em son! :-)

[@devsenguptajavawarrior]

Oh Baron I love your tour vlogs and try to live as much as I can from your vlogs pretending I was there. you must be the greatest moto vlogging tourer in the world :D

[@TheJackMac909]

Hey Baron, did you notice the man walking the sheeps, what is a V5? The inside of the hotel was way better looking than the outside, amazing!

[@Lexicographic]

Best suzuki ad ever! In all seriousness though, great video series mate; has inspired me to go on a tour of my own

[@zippysworld]

Great Series so far Mr G, looking forward to the finale, makes me want to try a tour myself.

[@deadwolfproject]

Loving yet another video and has confirmed my UK tour for this summer! Much love barron

[@Hellsslave666]

The end was so emotional. Almost shed a tear :'-) a tear of joy though! I bought myself a GS500 for the first bike and she's beauty, too. After one year I sometimes feel that I could do with a bit more power but she still just does everything I want her to do!!!

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Awesome Baron and yes yoshi I spotted the Renault 5 GT turbo at 0.22 awesome acceleration they had

[@ToastToGo]

Well played, Gixxer, well played.

[@nosboy2k7]

i'm genuinely happy for you Baron to have got this far and to have still enjoyed every bit of it..can't wait for your next video buddy!

[@aresnikolopoulos2358]

I am a big GSXR fan. People forget that 6-7 years ago that bike was the benchmark and even the exotics where playing catch up. Can't wait for Suzuki to get back into Moto GP and can't wait for next generation GSXR 1000. Add the electronics to compete with the rest and I will be buying!

[@TissenWurt]

i have seen all this episodes, they are AMAZING! do this more often!:)

[@TeamEnvied]

Haha nice tour, where are you going in your tour?

[@HerrGeneral]

And I thought you were taking it easy due to lack of brakes, but that "hospital abroad" thing makes sense! Btw you should come to Ireland, some roads here, especially in the West, seem like they've been made for bikers. Pick a sunny day tho:)

[@Macs4everr]

I actually hope this series never ends, well played gavna!

[@PaulJones-ld9xk]

I did North Wales (UK) to Spain and back a few years ago on mt TL1000 and it was great, as soon as you get to France car drivers start showing bikers respect instead of loathing!!!

[@JerryBeatFreak]

I doff my hat in honor to you GSXR. And to you Baron for this fine prestine document of your journey.

[@Simonwidders]

Where has the your stuff in the cargo net gone?

[@giff74]

It's about 1 degree F here today, that beach looks awesome!

[@Dennizzz119]

Actually been waiting for this all weekend.

[@AndyZ22SE]

Safe trip mate! Stunning scenery there. How do the Spanish drivers compare to the courteous French?

[@slipknot2985]

I know this trip was a while ago baron,will you be planing another trip this year because I'm loving this series sir

[@S1000xrhp]

Thanks Baron you have inspired me to book up my very first ride out on le continente! l will pop the cherry in a group ride this year and can't bloody wait :)

[@Barneys_lens]

Awesome series. How many more episodes in said awesome series?

[@troyboy986]

Baron Von Trackday coming soon. So loving the tour.

[@OneLonewolf]

Love it! I like how you decided to break up the footage into parts. Looks like a fun ride.

[@DallyLRUFC]

Just been watvhing Bike World on Motors TV and BOOM. Baron is being interviewed at Almeria. I spotted your bike and your helmet at the start of the programme going round the track. But of course you left you helmet on while talking hahaha

[@Thomazz46]

I'm really loving this series! Has it been mentioned somewhere what the total costs of this journey was?

[@Altonians]

Everything got a little tingly when you started overtaking ;)

[@KabouterNZ]

That was a bit emotional at the end there mate. I thought you were going to shed a tear, Good video.

[@edginton1993]

Loving the tour videos did you film the way back if so will you be posting it?

[@kalumhaynes]

I'm already saving for when I'm 19 and pass my second test... Europe here I come! Thanks for inspiring me baron ;)

[@thowmaz]

Is there any chance you could share your complete tour with the roads you followed and the hotels you stayed in? :) I would love to do this one myself!

[@RaiderOfTheLost]

I've always wondered, why wasn't your GSXR loud even with an arrow system and no baffles?

[@Glaiceana]

Lovely to see a bit of sun at the end there :)

[@Macks_100]

Baron was on tv, showed the GSX-R Greenlane escapade hah.

[@evilorc]

I enjoyed that. Good way to fill a lunch break. Can't wait for the rest of them, keep em coming.

[@Jmbo65]

Baron good wee series of videos, what were the hotel names you stayed or site did you select off?

[@ManMultiBusa]

I love my bike been ridin all my life im 50 i totally get what yor sayin about your bike ITS A FEELING.

[@RHauto]

These are awesome Baron, can't wait for the rest !

[@jayhuddy]

Baron did you score your brake discs and replace them after? I had a similair problem on my dirt bikes with EBC brake pads. When you MOT your bike and it goes on the rumble pad (brake tests) it can destroy pads. We never use EBC pads now dangerous! Loving the Tour series matey. Cheers J

[@tonyc9793]

Sweet video as usual. When you got off your bike at the end, where was your luggage?

[@UOO303T]

Baron von best bike Yep the gsxr 1000 is one of the best sports bikes ever! A bike for all seasons and occasions excellent riding position very reliable very fast and a power delivery second to none! The k5 / k6 being the best versions! I do believe the k5/6 was used to model the new BMW sports bike jus out!? Maybe the baron might bare me out on this fact. Cheers baron big boy xxxx

[@tattooedbill1]

Well done mate, you have every right to be proud of yourself. I have really enjoyed your adventure,keep up the good work

[@jandjrowe]

when is the Baron going to make it to New Zealand???

[@JonEastling23]

The greatest adventure on KZbin right now!

[@TheMickvee]

That last bit, at the seaside, your bike was luggage -less. Where did it go. Did you lose it.

[@StevenSugref]

Finally some sunshine! Another great episode, thanks!

[@zLeeeO]

As I was experiencing a slight depression scrolling through KZbin with duck all to watch I seen this video. At this moment I jazzed.

[@Shortkickz92]

that bike has been through a lot.. but just shows u how far a bike can go with a little looking after..

[@johnpreston1782]

Watching these tour videos has inspired me to acquire a GSXR, when the opportunity arises...Suzuki should pay you for this. Good advertisement for them lol

[@RoojaMental]

I used to live in Palamos...weird seeing you there....

[@BurOzt]

great bike indeed, love your vlog series...

[@michaeldavis2707]

Suzuki owe you money! You just sold another million motorcycles And I'm not just saying that because I have one! that little beast really held up makes me a proud owner!!!! WOW great tour! every biker should share these ep....

[@zakibird]

Double bloody awesome

[@MrRickGsxr]

Baron! Nice vid. Like your helmet, which type of Shoei is it?

[@deansayers6464]

"I'm sure we could sort something out by maybe giving him a blowey" love the baronisms. Double bloody deckerrrrr

[@Dracati]

The Med Sea Views are Awesome in the Bike's background

[@teevarley]

Love your videos. Keep up the great! Please keep posting!

[@R32_Sam]

please replace top gear and just use bikes :) on a serious note I have a question I need to ask, I've watched most of your videos and need your opinion as I trust it. I'm currently doing my unrestricted license, I've been racing off road in past years doing speedway and have road experience, however I'm torn between a supersport eg gsxr etc or like a sport tourer such as mt07 or er6n. I will use it for weekend riding and days off in week for long journey to see family now and again, what do you recommend as I personally prefer the k7 gsxr but what do you think for practicality and performance.

[@himaro101]

how do you think you would have fared on the BMW?

[@ribaaz]

Hey baron vpn grumble, if you like to have great views and you like mountain roads, i feel to say that you will like to come in northern italy, there are beatiful mountains and great views :D i think you'll like it :)

[@ObjectFour]

Tour se baron episodes are great
