gutes video, gute musik. ;-)

[ApocGuy]

nice video. How would you compare Gs 650 to kawi KLR 650? i have one(1988) ,and im thinking to step up a bit and buy something not so old(like 2001-2005 F650 GS).Is there anything special to look for when buying one and what are the MOST crucial mods on those bikes for that kind of riding? I guess some kind of crash bar is essential.. what about maximum traveled distance before fuel tank runs dry? Tnx in advance

[fixli81]

@ApocGuy Thanks! I don't know the KLR 650. I would recommend you to buy the "Dakar" version, then you don't have to make any mods for that kind of riding. The Dakar has more ground clearance because of a better suspension and a 21" front wheel. The crash bar is very helpful to avoid damages at the feet things (brake and gear change?) Without boxes and luggage you should be able to drive 380km before the warn lamp lights.

nice, good, perfect...where did U ride? ;)

[fixli81]

@Pafka007 Thank you! That was near the border between France and Italy. :-)

[Pafka007]

@fixli81 amazing and I am jealous ;) this year i ll buy TA 650, so i hope, my friends will change sports bike to travels bike, like me...and lets adventure

[DiscoMoonMonkey]

Great bike, bad song.

[aussieoffroada]

Great Vid,Now i really want 1!! But R these a good bike to learn on?

[Francesco1924]

Excellent, thank you for sharing it !!!

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

Hi - which panniers are you using? 

[fixli81]

@TheLittleWorldofGaz At the yellow bike are the BMW boxes and at the dakar are the touratech.

[LetDie]

Well, fuck. I want to drive like that. Bought a f 650 gs about a year ago, but since my muscles lack the strength to raise it up if I fall down I don't find the courage to go out in the trails like that. But well, experience don't come over night. My crazy dad drives an R1200GS as if he were driving a bicycle...the dude is 53 and always sport an fitting injury like broken rib or something..Maybe I should just give it a shot.

[NikolaCzv1997]

Super kupicu ga!

[onedumbgeek]

Awesome! I want one!

[pvcskate]

very great video ;)

[wilkistobo]

Great Vid. Bought mine as my first bike back in 2002 and toured Scotland - rode 700 miles in 10 hours on her on a miserable, sleety, UK winters day . Even thought I now own big touring bikes, I always end up back on her! Cracking bike. Thanks for sharing :)

[PETTKY650]

A good point of F650GS is good, and it is an expression せれた video! The best!

[JungleBadMan]

hi.can you tell me how rapid is this bike on the track? how quickly he get 100 kmh?

[tommycifi]

@JungleBadMan 0-100km/h in 5,5 seconds

[twofastdogs]

Great video! I have a red 2001 and the roads you were on look very similar to the ones I rode in Colorado in August. The FGS is a very capable bike, as you already know.

[tommy80jm]

a great bike....i have a dakar....and i love it

[anggaryan1]

Great videos!!!

[Rocosaki]

What is the windshield of the yellow motorbike??? I have a f650 Dakar, and the windshield of the yellow gs is very nice. Thenks

[fixli81]

@Rocosaki I don't know. It was at the bike when I bought it. I think its an optional BMW Accesoire...

[Rocosaki]

@fixli81 Thanks!! 

[Rocosaki]

@fixli81 Thanks!!! Great videos!!

[barronfujimoto]

Great video!!! And nice GS!

[Fussel650]

die beste Hommage, die man für eine F 650 GS drehen kann!

Aber das hab ich dir ja auch im Forum schonmal geschrieben. ;)

LG

[bonanza11395]

whats the name of the song ?

[fixli81]

@bonanza11395 I don't know. It's from Audioswap from Youtube. I can't remember the name and I can't find it again... Sorry.

[RedgardH]

@bonanza11395 1. listen what the hell he is singing.

2. type in Google what you've heard, e.g: 'I'm going back to Indiana now to see my baby+lyrics'

3. uncle Google says it's The Elms - Back To Indiana.

[tonyinfinity]

@bonanza11395 Its "Back to Indiana" by The Elms

[luuzann]

[tidiosampaio]

[pepebuche650]

[JJengineering]

Cool vid keep your babe rolling :P

Good music

[Anonimum888]

awesome vid man, what year is the bike?

[fixli81]

@Anonimum888 Thanks. It's from 2001

[goredsox2421]

it is a bad dike

[fixli81]

@goredsox2421 There are no bad bikes, only bad drivers...

[redactivist]

@goredsox2421 The only reason why you could say that is because it doesn't do 200mph and doesn't look as "cool" as a racing bike or whatever type you like, but the truth is, that this is the BEST bike because you can go ride these kind of mountains and go on the road with it.

You can go up these mountains with dirtbikes but then the fun is off when you get on the road, or you can go fast on the road with a regular bike and never get to places on this altitude (with breath taking views)

[onefugowie]

2:45 scratch scratch scratch...

[sgpsimonb]

Super stuff! I have the 2007 model and riding here in Thailand we don't have to wait for the snow to clear either! Thanks for sharing.

[fixli81]

You ride your F650 GS like it were a light crossbike... impressive. I'm a beginner in offroad riding. Europe is overcrowded and it's hard to find nice places for adventures. The Thailandish gravelroads looks nice, I'd like to ride there too... ;-)

[sgpsimonb]

@fixli81 - if you are having fun, you are most likely learning at the same time - life is long enough to ease yourself into it. Having shot in four countries on a beemer, it ain't a stretch to imagine you riding all the way here!

I see you got your rear wheel to accelerate while locked at 0:15 - same happened to me in the deep dust here. The rear is so heavy with ABS off it swings right around to full lock in a heart-beat! Fun but scary!

Ride hard!

[www650gscom]

I just got a 2009, I cant wait for some snow to clear up here.

[fixli81]

If you can't wait for the snow clearing up it's no problem. Watch my video "Little Adventure on a BMW F 650 GS in winter time" ;-)

[bigfatcrisp9]

Looks beauty! Where was it filmed?

[fixli81]

Thanks. Its was filmed in Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy.

[coletrain6000]

Nice job on the video! Great off road scenes. I have a yellow F650 just like yours.

[cembone]

cool
