  • Okay...if you watch this guys other videos you will understand that he is being sarcastic in this film. He doesn't mean anything he is saying...he rides a KLR650!!!!

  • @TORQUER3 Yes it's all for the lulz. I do ride a KLR650, but that is me on the 1200GS which I also still own it just isn't here in Panama with me. Both bikes are good at what they were designed for.

  • holy shit, who wrote this monolog, harley davidson.

  • @stoweVT7170 No but Harley Davidson should hire the guy who did.

  • Owner of this video : Are you really comparing GS1200 with KTM 990 (or any other model of KTM close to GS1200) ? Are you nuts ? There are a lot of official and serious videos (not a joke like this, poking KTM engineers to make sound BMW better) comparing those 2 motorcycles and not one of them proves BMW is #1, especially on dirt. GS1200 has no chance compared to KTM. Whatever it is : Acceleration, endurance, net weight, road & dirt performance... KTM 990 is better than BMW GS1200...

  • @TheImmunitas Yes this video is completely serious. It really has crushed rebellions, and overthrown dictators, and ended famines. AND a GS did really defy gravity and ride up the side of a building to catch a man who was attempting suicide. I'm surprised you have heard about any of this before. Better get over to Wikipedia.

  • Ok ok we get it, the GS is the Chuck Norris of the motorcycle world.

  • @TheImmunitas

    Ewan and Charley used a 1200GS and did just fine. :)

    Ted Simon used a GS and also did just fine

  • halfthrottle is the best! It is a very nice video!

  • @TheImmunitas first off ... if you cant detect the sarcasm in that video there really is no helping you.

    2nd...the KTM is better on dirt ... and thats about it. reliability and all around versatility arent exactly the KTMs strenghts ...
