The suits look good - how weather proof are they and are they armoured?
Full CE level 2 armour and AA/AAA rated (depending on what you choose) it’s designed to allow air through with the perforated leather so it’s not a “rainy day” suit but perfect for summer
AES FX3 Biled Laser is much better ... if you can please make a comparison video
Hello and thank you for the comment however this isn’t a brand or model we have heard about before…. You say they are better, can you tell us how/why?
@@MidlandsMotorbikers actually its a car fog light .. and I have custom fitted into my bike . i found out that its better than Morimoto Bi-LED and JW Speakers evo series.. i was using Morimoto bixenon from 2009 ... the AES was inferior product in the Bixenon era but the new AES bi-LED Laser are so good . the low beams are so wide with perfect cutoff and the high beams are exceptionally good... the Clearwater light even cant match the Morimoto Bi-LED so I am quite confident that D7 pro cant match new gen Bi-LED Laser ..
Which windscreen have you got?
Puig Touring screen with additional add on screen at the top
Chain brush Aldi £1.99
Great price!
Hello, I’ve been looking for a comparison between these two products since the Lone Rider hit the market. I came across your video, and it’s the most realistic, honest, and detailed one I’ve seen so far. Thank you for that.! However, there is still one topic that remains unclear to me. The Denali D7 fills the sides of the road significantly when at 20% brightness in DRL mode. But the performance of the Lone Rider at night with 20% DRL is still a mystery. I would greatly appreciate it if you could make a video on this topic when you have time. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for your feedback and comment I appreciate that and glad it was good for you. The LoneRiders have a fantastic pattern with the lower four floodlights and their purpose and design is to do just that - flood the floor in front and around you - we have plans for some detailed videos coming soon….
It looks iconic. I was brought up playing with Tonya toys, so I love the looks!
It is certainly a modern looking machine!
That's one superb review, thanks a bunch! Would have loved to see the practical view while riding at night but no worries!
Coming soon….
Great video and well worth watching. I've recently taken delivery of the MotoLights. I've also ordered a pair of Denali T3 rear pods. As I understand it, you can add up to 16 accessories onto the white ezBUS circuit, as long as you don't exceed the maximum draw. I going to try to daisy-chain the T3's onto the white ezBUS circuit with an additional Y-splitter. If that doesn't work, I still have the three spare ports on the MotoCAN (ezCAN).
Yes that’s correct! Would love to know how you get on!
Great Review ... many thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Love this ❤
Is that oliver….
Can you turn on just the wide beams on the moto lights from the switch gear of GS whereas the entire light can still turn on with high beams?
We have personalise this set up so the bottom Four only come on at dusk or darker situations at 10% but you can personalise and set yours up however you like as well
@@MidlandsMotorbikers I don't want it ON at dusk necessarily as I also ride around town and just the DRL looks better for that but during rides I want to turn on the wide beam from switch gear. Is this possible?
@ ah yes you can with the OEM BMW wonderwheel Hold it left for 3seconds to enter adjustment mode and then spin the wheel forwards or backwards adjust the lights intensity by 10% steps
Hello together A great comparison of the two auxiliary headlights. But I have another question: which windscreen is fitted to the GS? Greetings from Greece
Thank you! This is the Puig touring tinted screen with additional clip on at the top
The best over explanation I have seen on RUclips. Can't wait to take delivery of my Moto lights next month 😊
Glad it was helpful for you - we are fitting lots of these for customers so if you have any questions just drop us a message
Can the D7s be used with the DialDim?
Yes they can but not with the full functionality - drop us a message if you want to learn more!
Kinda fun watching someone else on youtube clean a chain
Thank you for watching
Need to know what works best riding at night in dipped beam that won't blind incoming cars. Don't care about being seen, all about seeing without dazzling others.
Then the MotoLights are 100% for you They keep the lights on a flood floor pattern until you put the full beam on.
Stats say its 1kg heavier than 1250 GSA but did it feel heavier, lighter or same riding it? Thank you for your extensive experience.
Honestly it felt extremely familiar in weight but weirdly it was easier to manoeuvre than the 1250
@@MidlandsMotorbikers Thank you.
You think the screen winglets are working in town limits? 70mph+ - maybe. A ride round the suburbs is pretty lame, but hey - you HAD to get something out there, eh?
Thank you for your valued comments
Great review. But £23000 and the shaft drive is a consumable at the owners expense. No thank you
What was it that impressed you? He rode it through the town and suburbs!
Thank you for opinions, it is a steep price but the riding experience won it for me
My thoughts? You want my thoughts? Where the heck are the night shots? They’re lights - and this is a “review”. How did you not compare them AT NIGHT?? 🤔
Thank you for the comments - this will be part two of the video - keep your eyes peeled for the results
I’ve got one of these, one criticism is it’s hard to get the poles out of the sleeves when the tent is wet. I only disconnect the inner tent if the tent is wet, so it keeps dry until deploying the tent at the next camp spot. It’s a good idea to pitch the tent with the narrow end into the wind. Pitch it so you get the morning sun. Out of my collection of tents this is my favourite to use if I’m going to be in a campsite for more than one night. The vestibule is brilliant to sit in and prepare meals.
Fantastic comments thank you for your feedback
hi. do you have anything showing what the lone-rider beam looks like at night. i am especially interested in the lower 4 leds - can i run them all the time or would it upset oncoming traffic?
Thank you for the comments, and this will be part two which is coming soon!
Hi would these lights work with thunder Box?
Although they may work, they won’t have any additional functions. They are designed to work with the controller (MotoCan) so you can achieve the functions (DRL, Indicators, full beam etc)
Thanks for replying. Bro
@@mianozzy6772very welcome
Turn your mic gain down slightly it’ll sound cleaner ❤️
Thank you Rich, it was our first time using the Insta360 with Sena connection so we were still learning.
@@MidlandsMotorbikers ah fair enough, it was mainly the first bits, but congrats 🙌. Only mentioned as I do it professionally, you want the best possible 🔥
looks shite, you have just got done no miles but rave about just for content, I've done over quarter million miles on gs and gsa so tend to have a valued opinion
Thank you for the comment however have you rode one? I’ve rode GS and GSA for years now and this test ride was enough for me to comment on how different it was instantly….. go ride one and see for yourself :-) then come back and tell me
@@MidlandsMotorbikers I agree. I rode one today and was amazed at just how good it was. Just for the record I’ve had about 10 gs/gsa over the years and currently ride a year old 1250 gsa
@ it’s a big step up isn’t it?
@@MidlandsMotorbikers just watching your video now, and your comment about the quick shifter is very true. I was looking to get an ASA version having ridden a 1300GS ASA but now having tried the ‘clutched’ version on the GSA the gear change using the shifter is so much better I’ve decided to save the hundreds on the ASA and just get the normal ‘clutched’ version. 😊
@ the money you have saved you could bring it to me and get some nice upgrades or ceramic coating…..
Goes great but looks like a turd 👍 And the price now..... hmmm . " Is it worth upgrading "? For me, a clear NO. And we dont yet know what faults will show up, considering what the std one has experienced. Even if I could get past the looks I would likely wait a year until problems are resolved. Personally 😉
Thank you for your opinion and comments - have you rode one?
@@MidlandsMotorbikers no plan to, it will go as great as something this price should but not some great leap over the 1250 and the looks are a killer for me, the extra technology I can just about manage without too 😉
@@GPR111 if you rode it you would see/feel the difference….. but each to their own
Hello Can you describe the size difference between it and the 1250 GSA? Do you think it appears too small in front of the 1250 GSA, like the 1300 GS, but with a rectangular tank? Thnx PS: You have the option to create a video about that, as many people are curious about its size....
Great idea - let’s see what we can do
@@MidlandsMotorbikers Cool. Assuming you haven't replied the question I believe the video will arrive soon, thnx :)
I came to see a bike, not a rider. Lose the selfie cam.
Thank you for the comment - however there are hundreds of other videos of the bike, we wanted to give you a real world impression of the first ride - or better yet - check out the bike in person at your local dealership :-) happy and safe riding
What helmet are you wearing?
We love it! The Nexx XWed3 helmet
Great video James! I need to admit that yes, the looks grow on me... That's why I am scared to see it in person because I will like and want it 😅
So when you are coming to check it out….?
Will look great in the triple black at night.
That’s the plan :-)
That’s the plan :-)
Ugly bike but KTM with there new 2025 1390 Super Adventure S EVO has the answer if I would be orientating, but keeping my GSA Trophy for now.
Interesting comments thank you for that, have you rode the new 1300 yet?
@@MidlandsMotorbikers the GSA not yet. The dealership in the area has closed down, that's also a perspective for me. I really don't feel like I should try it. For me BMW has taken a wrong design route. It's like stacked bricks, a copy of the Harley, also a no go.. But beauty is the eye of the beholder.
@@andreb6130 this is what we love about bikes it’s all so subjective and open to different likes and views. I’ll be interested to know if you ride one what you think as that is the main reason we buy bikes….. I’ve had some stunning bikes before but they don’t ride well at all, whereas this rides incredible for me! The perfect balance of power, comfort and overall rider enjoyment…. I will be honest the looks grow on you
What are the tyres?
This one comes with the Anakee’s which I’ll be honest seemed to suit the bike nicely…. However I will be swapping to my preferred tyre choice of the Dunlop Meridians at first swap
Great review and video James - really enjoyed watching that
Thank you for commenting and so glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic presentation of this stunning bike, sounds like it’s a winner!…mines coming too next week 💥 Kind regards.
@@beans4491 congratulations on the new GSA, we can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
Been stroking that bike for the past week in the warehouse lol I must say every day I see it I like it more
It massively grows on you doesn’t it, it showcases quality and a premium look and feel…. BMW have done amazing
@@MidlandsMotorbikers yea definitely mate. Was taking it out today but got to drop a customer bike off so no time, hopefully tomorrow. Just subbed by the way 🙏
@@theflyingyetti_666 thank you and welcome to the channel!
could they have made it any uglier????
Beauty is very much in the eyes of the beholder….. it grows on you
Superb machine. ✌🏼💪🏼💚
We agree!
😍🤩🥰👍🙏
@@Aiwad-er7sf glad you like!
Is it still TE model?
Yes this is the TE model :-)
Quick shifting 1st to 2nd 🤕 nobody does that ffs.
Agreed not usually but the Honda E-Clutch does it seamlessly…. Have BMW missed a trick?
It will grow on people. I really didn't like the look of Yamahas MT10 when it came out but I bought one and in the flesh I really grew to like it.
Exactly that, but this really is a grower! It’s modern and looks just right personally
@@MidlandsMotorbikers yea I love the look of it. It's a proper tank
It’s really growing on me!
Ooooo Will you be trading your bike in for the adventure…..
@@MidlandsMotorbikers I don’t think the banking gods can support that move sadly 🤣
@@TheStammeringBiker we need to change banks/religion’s lol
@@MidlandsMotorbikers 🤣
Needs some more lights I think! Looks good though
Don’t worry….. that’s coming next
I will still never understand reviewers who do a review of lights in the daytime but won't do it at night, I mean, common sense should dictate that the only way to demonstrating all the "features" and advantages will be at night and all reviewers do it. Review lights during the day
Hi there and thanks for commenting. There are loads of reviews at night time for the Denali D7’s, D7 pros etc These lights are incredibly powerful and rated globally as the most powerful lights on the market. This isn’t about that - it’s about features and showcasing the differences between the two models. We will be doing more videos later in the year.
I love them for the Amber ring lights and the spot light and its features. Set them to 80kmh and once u drop below that speed it goes off and don’t have to be on hight beam for that function to come on. What I need them to do is have an app that can enable one to change the features than having a laptop.
Who knows what the future will hold for mobile/bluetooth technology
Lights are good to use at night. It seems really odd to do a comparison of lights without doing a comparison of lights....at night. I was seriously considering the new Motolights but after watching the release videos a few times I realised that the beam pattern is really relatively tight. I use a pair of Baja Designs XL80s on my R1250GS which have an amazingly broad beam with more than adequate reach. Here in Australia where Skippy often makes an appearance width of beam is paramount.
Thank you for commenting, however the beam pattern is very wide on full beam, it lights up the peripherals extremely well
I think u should do a video short video of the lights at night, comparing both lights, if u can do this much extensive work, going that light extra mile for the channel gets u that boost. And people can make up their minds fully on what to pick. Since u have both of them.
Nice comparison. Thanks. Do you know if they are going to have a bundle for the BMW 1300 GSA?
They will do once the brackets are finalised But you can use them with the R1300 MotoCan and use the engine bar clamps to get started! I have the new 1300GSA on order so I’ll let you know
@@MidlandsMotorbikers Thank you.
Hi, you should provide a real test review of the MotoLights, so we can really appreciate what those new pods can do compared to the D7Pro or 2 pairs of smaller 3-inch pods equivalent in wattage. I personally went with 2 pairs of pods to have a better beam orientation.
This will be coming soon, however after having two sets of light pods before and then switching to the MotoLights, I can promise that the MotoLights pods are all you need I would go far as to say that the standard D7 pods give a fuller light pattern than the D7 Pros
@@MidlandsMotorbikers What do you mean by "fuller" pattern ? More Flood or more spot (throw)? Also, which pods model did you use before switching to D7?
