THe US Navy is dong things on land these days? What a battleship.

That motorcycle is more for road, long distance travelling, off road on hard packed soil, not for sand, way too heavy.

@al2bmw Hoola disculpe las molestias puede ser q hace poco anduvo por argentina- chubut?

[fuwad84]

DAMNMAN could you be any smaller than that bike?

[al2bmw]

@fuwad84 I am not tall at all, but taller than Gaston Rahier, the Dakar Champion, he inspired me, if someone can, anyone with the will can.

This is definitely a big bike, but easy to tame, once running it is so user friendly, feels small and agile.

[fuwad84]

@al2bmw Thank you for that input. I've always loved the bike but was worried that its immense displacement might be a bit difficult off road. Has it been a problem with you at all?

[alanbstard4]

@al2bmw good luck to you, but please keep it out of soft sand

[kennylyuda]

@al2bmw I had one on loan to me whilst my F650 GS (2010) went in for a service, I totally agree with you on taming the bike. At first, the R1200 GS felt massive compare to my little baby, but once moving, it is very easy to ride. The problem came when getting back on my bike, even though it's a 800cc, but felt like riding a bicycle compare to the R1200 GS.

[S00rabh]

I wish to take this bike to Ladakh.

[al2bmw]

They are Baja Fuego, from SOLTEK, ABOUT $800 dlls. the Kit HID, they are racing lights, BMW or any other Motorcycles have no good lights, motorcycles are not built, have or Meant for Riding fast at night.

The one at the right is concentrated for depth, for long distance and high speed.

The one at the left is wide spectrum for objects near the ends of the road, specially on narrow roads or tight bends.

[Aurality]

@al2bmw Thanks for taking the time to tell me that. They look great and was thinking about getting some fitted to mine. Cheers!

[Aurality]

what spot lights are those?

[Sleepinglion22]

Lol this guy reminds me of my dad and his 1200GS, so short riding a giant bike. Perfectly happy with my 800GS though, much easier to manage. Also that thing looks awesome! do you ever do any long offroad trips on that thing?

[al2bmw]

Nos caimos mi hija y yo en arena muy floja en Santa Clara, me rompi los ligamentos y tuve que viajar a casa 2000 millas para arreglar mi rodilla,regrese despues de dos meses y la moto arranco al primer intento, les demostre ademas como hacer un rolling start como lo hacia Gaston Rahier, un campeon mas corto de estatura que yo, el gano el Paris Dakar en 1985, gracias por la pregunta, es una moto muy pesada y muy divertida, viviendo al limite, si se puede.

[al2bmw]

That bike is big, not too many people can ride her, really tall and heavy.

[yutufyoursel]

to much size , to much weigth.

[wannatroll]

that's a big ass motorbike... at above that... it's GERMAN!!!

[al2bmw]

Thank you for your comment, she is really big, it takes time and practice to handle her, the only problem is while it is stopped, once it is runnning it feels so light and agile, I learnt a lot from watching Gaston Rahier, he is smaller than me and a true Dakar world Champion on even a taller bike, God Bless you.

[josephsaliba79]

Am amazed how this little man Handel's this big and heavy bike, i use to have the 1100 98 md and i know how heavy it is.

[al2bmw]

That is a Nuremberg License Plate, I rode all europe East and West

h

[al2bmw]

I am taller than Gaston Rahier one of the world greatest , no offense he he

[peacemaker369]

Is that a german number plate (Nuremberg)?

[MentallFloss]

I'm 1.86m and find the bike big for me I ride it with the seat on the lower position it gives me better stability when stopped. I think the ideal height for this bike is 1.90 m upwards

[drwilms]

wooah the bike is huge!

[al2bmw]

un metro 68, la moto es muy alta

[alanyojas]

oiga cunato mide usted

[eccchung]

is that the way you start up and go up the bike all the time? i am 5ft 6in. i could tiptoe on one side of the leg only.

[andresfe89]

señor podria decirme cual es su estatura?

[xxmanu95xx]

The size of this bike is unbelievable. the guy looks like a little child. !

[Haubitze85]

...the GS-A looks soooo beautyfull and sooo big !!! ...and he looks soooo fucking tiny !!! :-D Great bike, love it!!! :-)

[al2bmw]

1.68

[danielhoper8416]

amigo disculpe cuanto mide

[lupuszzz]

The bike looks absolutly majestic!

[intelephoto]

How did you crash?

[al2bmw]

Since this motorcycles are more for road, I use Continental Road attack ,sport tires, better mileage and better grip for high speed, SAME SIZE ALTHOUGH

[wazabby17]

what kind of tires have you got on the Adventure??
