Custom BMW R1250GS | 40kgs Lighter | Full Walkaround

- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- My friend Rob built this motorcycle with help from Oldtimer Motorcycles in Dubai. The project started off with a base R1250GS and after a few months of work ended up as this mean machine. Listen to Rob explain all the work that's been done and how they managed to build one of the meanest and the lightest R1250GS on the planet
By avoiding my wife to came with me, I actually saved 60 Kg.
Hahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂🤣🤣
this is the first and only custom gs I have ever seen
Seems Darth Vader is holding the camera! Nice bike well done!
Thought the same 🤣
I know it's 3 years late, but I came here to say this.
😂
Great looking bike well done.
Congrats to the builder. What a beautiful bike.
Damn, that bike is sic..... great job Rob
The camera man. Sounds like his rubber suit is restricting his breathing 😬
Was 40 degrees C heat and we were in a full riding suit...
At 12:20 - no I don't think he needs bar risers, he just needs to bend knees more... I found that too high bar risers has an adverse effect on handling and bike feel. Rather bend your knees, put your elbows up, and try a more aggressive stance.
Wow. That is awesome. Not just the weight reduction but the thought & process of execution. Obviously some mechanic genes involved too 🙏.
I have a GSA 1200 rallye (2018). Given me some food for thought 🤔
Interesting & good video. Cheers
Let me know what you end up doing!
I leave this under every video I watched, it helps the algorithm.
What most impresses me is that you're wearing that BMW rallye jacket in the desert daytime. I guess it really does ventilate well?
And Rob is sweating bullets! Lol
Nice video!, I think he did a great job ! Still love to see it with a 17” front wheel! It would be great in in the twisties 💨💨💨🏁 regards Dennis
That would be cool!
Great video! We here at VikingBags really love your content!
Hello Everyone, thanx to Martin for this channel, Fantastic remaking on this machine, safe rides Rob. Love ❤️ from KSA
You're welcome!
The bike is beyond awesome but no protection doesn’t make much sense. I know he’s saving weight but damn at least some engine guards.
he has the wunderlich header protections on though, they will hold off some damages in a slow fall/slide
Agreed..won't stand up to a crash a stock GSA would...you want performance ..take a Rawhyde Level 2 Course...you learn to jump a GSA!
Insane bike !!!
The engine crank cases have been sprayed a matt colour, looks like a nice tough finish, far better than BMW's cheap thin painted finish ... would be interesting to see what method he used 👍🏻
Hi there, I'm also very interested in what kind of finish is applied on the engine . Looks like a raptor coating. Can you please explain how to obtain that finish. Thank you 🙏🙏👍👍
If you would replace the engine with a one cilinder and remove the front wheel you will loose again 60 kg. The need to be able to wheely all the time but that’s something you can learn.
it's called the wheelchair- GS
Beautyful work......👍❤️🏍
Man, this is sick, great job 👍
Thanks a ton!
My man made his own hp2
Mate that’s just awesome!! I’m more than impressed!! Subscribed!!
Thanks!
How did you manage to get darth vadar to work the camera for you?
Really impressive enhancements
Great project, but I don't understand it! For example, you take a lamborgini and turn it into a WV beetle and save 40 kilos? Why?
Wtf are you talking about? Obviously less weight means better performance 😉
He took a hummer and turned it into a trophy truck
@@JoeShep71 exactly the sheer weight can make a big difference
It’s like buying a BMW M car and cutting weight for the race track etc. What don’t you understand? I don’t understand how you don’t understand! 😂🤣
@@mikek545 the weight he shaved of that bike probably made it a meaner monster then it already was 🤣
Amazing how these two guys can do a video like this whilst totally ignoring the camera man who sounds like he is clearly playing with himself with his other non camera hand 🤣
Professional 👌
We couldn't hear it then, it was too late to fix it in the edit..🙈
great bnike, only the cameraman breathing is kinda annoying
Was 40 degree heat and we were in a full riding suit...
Wowww very cool modification 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
Rad GS - that's apt! Great video Martin
I love it..... Awesome!
You sure his name is Rob 😂😂
I really like this bike
RIP Rob
Awesome bike !
how come rob didn't go to a single caliper brakes and saved more weight?
Hello from France
thank you for this great video. the exhaust
in full akra ... can you give me the reference of the Slip-On Line
thank you for what you do, you won a subscriber ;)
I think it was a GSXR exhaust modified to use on this project.
@@MartinAlva thank you for that clarification
Sick!
Did Rob remove (cut off) the Akrapovic exhaust hanger bracket from the slip-on? Can't find a GP exhaust without that bracket welded on and I noticed that the muffler is rotated quite a bit (to hide the hack job perhaps). Would appreciate a slip-on part number if one is available. Thank you for the video!
Wow. Nice looking and sounding bike. Do you know how much those mods cost ?
Leuke motor Rob!! Droom van mij is om in UAE een onderneming te hebben.
Wow good idea 👍👍
nossa mano o que vc fez
One observation : exhaust sounds like a KTM and that is good 😍
One question: why did you ride back to Rob instead of riding off in to the desert 😀
Very interesting engineering project 👍🏽 and thanks for making this vedio 🤘🏽
Next time I'll ride it in the desert! It's starting to get hot here now.
Engine mods? Remapping to deal with the straight pipe/mods? Details please.
I'll have to fetch Rob for that...
err easier just to buy a KTM 690R Enduro to start with, no?
Lovely bike . May I ask where were the titanium bolts ordered from ? Online or custom made locally !?
I think they were ordered. Will check.
You take 40 kg of the bike and then put a 120kg guy on it.
It looks very cool though without all the crap you don't need.
I do not like the look of a BMW Gs !But this one i like verry match
Lovely looking bike.
Sounds like a fart in a bathtub though.. :)
wow, I love it... looks amazing.....can he do my RT :)
Hug awa My F750 is almost the same 😛 just need cut some of the tail
How he did the exhaust?
Free flow pipes from the header connected to a sports bike exhaust from Akrapovic.
It looks stupid for me 😅 Why’d buy a heavy bike and cut the weight out of it 😅
I was done when i heard titanium... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
hi im interested on the signal lights care to share
the link for them?
I think they're from Rizoma.
Is Rob from S.A ?
Netherlands.
That bike is sweet! The R9T should have GS amenities like I don't know a fuel gauge at least 😁 Hey Motorrad check this out.
Nice project! Bu the bike is ugly..0
Can't believe that someone can destroy R1250GS like this. U barely make a bike from a motorcycle.
The bike looks silly.
Ask a young person to do all the camera and sound work please.
Why do this to a GS? Why not just buy the appropriate bike for the type of riding you want to do. I appreciate the creativity, but you’ve made a bike that used to be very capable on various terrains and made it a bit less useful. You wasted a good bike.
Your English looks like indian english
Because it is.
17 stone guy loses 40 kg from bike! Skip a few meals and it does the same thing, just that you’ll probably live a while longer. My totally std ktm 1290 weighs 214kg. 7kg more.
so you claim that your 1290 weighs less than the 790 on the scales....Stop drinking the orange juice, Bob! The 1290 comes in at 240kg...you KTM guys keep making Harley riders seem reasonable!!
Jim Richardson , well it does say 215kg online, ahh that’s dry I see. Will petrol, oil, water weigh 25kg? Feels a lot lighter than my GS for sure.
@@TheBobstephenson and ready to race
Weight off the bike is much different than weight off the rider when it comes to performance.
@@AJourneyOfYourSoul please explain
Jeez, just buy a R9T.
Why not just go on a diet?
WHY ???????? Buy a different fucking bike .
