  • The music ruined it - I would've loved to hear the bike. If I want music, I'll turn on the radio.

  • Upatdown,

    In some situations you are right, but the BMW 650 1 cylinder has a very un-inpressive sound.

    With some music, it is easier to reflect the feeling I had driving around South Africa.

  • Muito legal esse vídeo, sempre que estou com a minha G650GS lembro da música e da montagem, exelente, parabéns.

  • You Can't Stop The ROCK!!!!!!

  • You seem to Know a lot about bikes so ... what would you choose for an every day bike and ocational 2,000 km trips ( In Mexico city , Real bad trafic ) a gs 1200 a gs 800 or a KTM 990.? I have a Dakar now but i Think its time to change.

    The gs 1200 I´ve been told tends to heat Up in trafic. And I´m really afraid of the 800 Seat. KTM seems to have it All.

  • Great. I live just north of Golden gate... Area with great dirtroads called Memel.

  • This vid is my dream!!!

  • that's maybe because in africa, there are not only lions and forest... There are cities there... not the native tribes...

  • looks more like america's southwest over what i thought africa would be like

  • wow, great video!!

  • The bike is really not bad, I just find the suspension to be poor, but that is my opinion.

    I have been driving the new 800 in fun conditions, and I don't like the suspension.

    Another thing is,

    I just drove around South Africa again for about 5000 Km on a old faithfull GS 650 Dakar, and I

    would like to know, how I should survive this on a 800 seat.

    p.s. Youtube movie will follow soon.
