Love the R1250. Great bike. Where is this filmed though?

you two are awesome team! :)

getting on the bike without the stand is "pretty simple" when you are 6.2 not 5.6 So yeah you can use the footpegs. The standing position is pretty stiff, need to use the hip more. Watch chris burch how he does it, really good instructions

Absolute GOLD !!! very new to ADV riding and into the deep end with a GS… but no regrets .. slow and steady and grin from ear to ear … love the tutorials and keen to get out and enjoy !!! Thanks Lads … Steve (Adelaide Aust) 🙏

Can't wait to see you guys in June! Wish power sliding was part of level 1 after seeing this ha.

Has a 🎤 screams the whole video long, great video doh

Hi, the lift of the bike and also the balancing looks so easy, when you start tipping it over. I ride a F800GS Adv and is it possible that this is harder to lift or balance? Ever compared?

He is just puddling with the bike like a toy is to a child, throwing back and fro 😁😃

Nice ! I’m an older rider (76) with a just purchased R1150 GS-A…this may help me learn how to tame the beast! Wish they were local !

We absolutely need to have these guys at the BMW MOA Rally in the states! What are they doing mid June?

This is brilliant

👍👍👍

Why do we stand on ADV bikes but sit on enduro bikes?

Simple, necessary and understandable. Thanks

weighting the pegs is bullshite, the amount of presure is the person weight and is different with each person, if you force it the only leverage is the bars which defeats the object

now try and get on the bike with lugagge and you would be picking it up again

Usually these bikes while travelling have panniers. Will these lessons be relevant with panniers?

Great video thanks guys

This is great..

How do you stall the bike at around 17:00?

Lo necesito ❤

I totally agree with you to engage the bike as a part of our body.

Where is off road in this video !?

love it!!!

What a seriously fantastic video!

You are a big guy, stronger and taller, so the point is that you are well managing the bike, but most of the riders are short riders, so that’s a challenge for them.

4:56 what?

Thanks!! Step by step, a lot of information.

Absolutely amazing class mates and confidence skills. That's how we need to approach and take action in any situation. Thanks brothers and keep it up.

it looks soooo easy.... very nice !!

four. thousand. accccrrrrrreeeessssss of powa

I'd like to see him lift a 800# Harley Davidson like that.

Neil would be so much easier to listen to if he didn't shout all the time. Please remind him that he DOES have a microphone in front of his mouth.

You guys are awesome. I hope one day I can afford an adventure bike. It’s really the only type that makes sense.

Just curious, how many acres do you have there? 😜 Great video!

Looks like a glorious British summer day.

I died at 4:55 💀

I've noticed that a lot of instructors use the gs instead of the gsa. For a beginner is a normal gs easier controllable ?

The best way to ride a heavy monster on dirt is to have great skills or have a great bunch of money.

Thank you guys. I now understand more and more.. really appreciate it.. thumbs up!

longhair talk too much....f..koff let that guy do the whole thing

Excellent job fellows 🙌🏼👍🏼

bmw gs has never been a motorcycle for this type of terrain, KTM adventure is a heavy off road motorcycle, see the difference > kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppqjaJWkmZa6poE.html

Neo.. You are great.

Chris Nothover - what a pleasant surprise! You bloody ripper.

Such incredibly helpful riding advice! Thanks so much for posting this segment.

It's work only at BMW COS SIDE SHIT CYLINDER . try it at different bike not BMW i don't like BMW cos its German

Overall there are two simple keys for riding adventure motorcycles off-road - get lots of experience and swap street tires for serious dual-sport tires. (Get Continental TKC-80s. Their traction on the street and their longevity are uncompromised by their badass treads). Here are some basic off-road skills… • Favor the rear brake except in emergencies, in which case try your best to straighten the front wheel first before using the front brake and rear brake together. Using the front brake tends to make the front tire knife into the dirt surface and trip the bike up. • Similarly, keep the wheels straight when turning from asphalt to dirt, ideally making the turn completely on the asphalt part and entering the dirt surface at a 90° angle. If you enter the dirt at a shallower angle, treat it like a curve and counterbalance (see below). • Know when to be aggressive on the throttle and when to be gentle on it (sometimes the best defense is a good offense, other times overconfidence will hurt). Speed and momentum are crucial on the softer stuff, but too much will backfire and destabilize the bike. You have to develop a feel for exactly how much throttle by practicing on different surfaces. • Ride standing up in rougher terrain. That makes all the difference because it lowers the bike's center of gravity and makes it more maneuverable. Remember to keep your knees slightly bent to allow your legs to flex, and lean slightly forward on straight sections, more forward the steeper any climbs get. On downhills, reverse that and keep your butt rearwards. • When encountering a road with ruts, either stay inside the ruts or outside the ruts. The problem is continually going back and forth in and out of a rut, making it an edge trap, which can throw the bike down. If the rut is so narrow that your tires are continually hitting against the sides of the rut, that's an edge trap, so only ride outside of that rut. • When riding on softer stuff, shift your weight rearwards to give the rear tire more bite - that also has the advantage of making the front tire "ski" more, creating less drag and making it less likely to trip you. • Counterbalance generously on curves, getting your hips outside the lean and weight on the outside pegs. You should be one gear lower for the speed - that discourages swinging wide and gives you more engine braking if you encounter a surprise around the bend. Your outside leg will be mostly bent, the inside leg mostly straight. Know that you can always make your turn sharper by leaning further (I usually like to just straighten out my lower side arm for that). • When going over mounds, you need to use finesse on the throttle, going from aggressive to gentle at just the right moment heading up, then be relaxed and confident while finessing the rear brake as you go down the other side. Like with everything else, you get better at it with practice. • When encountering hard obstacles you can't maneuver around, (with your butt off the seat and legs flexed), as the front tire gets to the obstacle, hit the throttle a little as you pull up on the handlebars while leaning slightly rearwards (as if to wheelie but not actually doing so) then pogo-stick the rear suspension as the obstacle reaches your rear tire. Practice that in an empty parking lot with a piece of two-by-four. And here's a good video if you ever get seriously stuck... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob-WZcyGvprOimw.html

Are we able to ride off road without BMW Off Road Skills?

Fantastic presentation.
