BMW GS 1200 filming Multistrada 1200S with Termi from iphone 4 in Spain MCN

Strapped iphone to the front of Carl's BMW GS and then prayed it stayed on, and Carl stayed on. Not bad footage but possible better being strapped to the Ducati, take a look at the other film too.

In response to "commodor....." The chap on the Ducati, me, actually has several years race experience and has the advanced police training certification. There is nothing wrong at all in using the other side of the road if nothing is coming, it opens up a corner, allowing for a smoother, faster entry and exit. Again, this assumes you can see through the corner. Please dont leave pointless nonconstructive comments, it makes you look like and idiot, and you are obviously not!!

Stu,

Yes, we both have had sports bikes. I had just sold an RC8R which I loved but unless you had perfect conditions it was just not that appealing. The multi is just one of those bikes you dont mind using in the wet. Still miss a sports bike though as the multi just cannot be quite as sharp but still great fun. And as you say, stick all the luggage on, and then have some fun.

Off to Spain in a couple of weeks so might sort another vid!!

My mate Carl used Metzeler Road Attacks, one of the sportiest tires you can get for the GS.

Brasletti - for this video I used a cable tie and cable tied the iphone4 to the plastic lens cover on my mates GS. Worked like a dream but did have some insects on it by the end!

Some great footage here. Which of the 2 bikes would you recommend for the commute + scratching fun as both seem to cut it well!!!

[yamahay426]

@Crankmeister - It has to be the multi, the GS is a great bike, it really is, but the multi does everything the GS does (apart from the off road bit, which I would not want to do on either), yet the multi can scratch too! In both my vids I never pushed the multi past mid-drange, it is so much faster than the GS. The GS just runs out of revs when it is trying to chase and feels so much bigger to hustle around. If it was just to commute, the GS is a lot closer. For you, its the Ducati!!

[yamahay426]

But whats too fast!! Don't really judge this as that fast.

I assume you are saying that its stupid to go fast?! Assuming this is what you are trying to say, then maybe it is, but its fun and down to the individual to make a calculated judgment, these are open, corners which you can see through, not actually very high risk to be honest. But thanks for the comment.

With riding like that, you can understand all the anti bike legislation. Those speeds should be on a track, not the road. Fun till you hit oil or wildlife or another vehicle

Enjoyed the video great riding from the Ducati Rider, GS Rider just trying bit to hard so his lines wern't perfect but good bike handling skills all the same.

Espectáculo...bom vídeo e pessoal que sabe andar nos limites...multistrada five stars

[dbdicker]

I've ridden my entire life and these guys are both fast and particularly good -- also look relatively safe, except for the pass of the truck by the follow bike (GS), which looked mid corner and a bit of a leap of faith -- other than that, I guess I wish I could ride that fast!

Fantastic riding and fantastic lines! :) I've just taken a Mutistrada S around Wales for the weekend and what an awesome bike...I'm just jealous I didn't take it over these Spanish roads instead of some slimey, wet British roads.

Everyone wants or needs a iPhone 4s for FREE. Text (txtme iPhone) To (368638) to get it.

Top riding from both guys, all negative comments are frankly laughable. Can I suggest a bracket for mini camcorders that you might get on with if you do this kind of filming often, it's called a 'fat gecko' and it's got an ultra strong sucker that'll even fix to curved surfaces like your lid. I use mine with a Flip Ultra HD camera (720p). Anyway, top riding, top vid.

@yamahay426 I agree mate, if i could afford two bikes i might just have a new shape Blade tucked in the garage for a mid week blast or an early morning dawn raid on a Sat/Sun morning, but, i cant see me swapping the Tiger anytime soon, unless its for another Adventure style bike, Multistrada maybe??? lol.

Which part of Spain is this pal? we do Germany most years but we're thinking about Spain for a change so any ideas would be grateful, cheers Stu.
