The tyres that were put on first were actually Mitas E07 adventure tyres and two up with max luggage lasted 5700 miles before I changed them due to blocks wearing unevenly and couldn't take the vibration any longer.
Your GSA Rallye looks awesome. What after market accessories have you put on and which tyres are you running. I pick mine up in a week and want to make a few alterations. I haven’t seen anybody selling blue crash bar fillers or all, the other blue accents you have added. Cheers mark.
Thanks Mark, the crash bar engine guards came from Ricochet (ricochetoffroad.com/products/aluminum-crash-bar-engine-guards-for-bmw-r1200-gs-r1200-gs-adventure?variant=3548100611) which were then sprayed blue. Ricochet do provide blue, however we wanted the Same blue a the frame. There are quite a few touratech pieces on the bike which I'm doing a separate video for.Already gone through one set of Tyres which were heidenau k60 and replaced with Scorpion Trial 2 in Sardinia.
mark wood we were going to order it direct on the website but fortunately I was working in New York for a week so I had it delivered to an office there and picked it up. Saved me about £70 in shipping it think.
great bike. great and big journey! :) how do you made this great travel diary? I want such a cool website, too :) Best Regards Maurice ( '96 Bmw f650, 78tkm still running)
Maurice Remy hi Maurice glad you like the video. The video was taken with a few different cameras positioned on mine and Seb’s bike and the location defiantly helps! Great to hear your getting the miles on the 650! I’ve got a F800 with 140,000 miles on it! These bikes are built to last. All the best Ed
Fuel economy on the gsa is getting better the more miles I am putting on the bike 8400 miles at mo. Two up max luggage cruise control 68 mph = 52.6mpg.
If you are doing a constant 68mph on cruise control then 400miles is achievable. In Europe this is possible due to the quiet motorways. I am carrying a rotopax fuel tank with me which holds 7lt of fuel so i have tested this out. But remember that is a constant 68mph for just under 6 hours.

I have the multistrada and the bad thing about it is that it does not like luggage. One can really notice it on the handling.

What's the mileage of bmw ?
The BMW is now on the 7,000 miles and the Ducati is on 36,000 Miles.
Ed Davies fuel efficiency?
Fuel economy on the gsa is getting better the more miles I am putting on the bike 8400 miles at mo. Two up max luggage cruise control 68 mph = 52.6mpg.
Sebastian Brooke so around 400miles with a full tank of fuel right?

Good Time !!!
