BMW R1200GS Best Accessories - 50K Miles in 2 Years

  • Опубликовано: 2 июл 2020
  • After almost 50,000 miles in 2.5 years, it's time to say goodbye to Helga BMW R1200GS, so I thought I'd run through some of my R1200GS best accessories I've bought for her and how I've got on with them.
    BMW R1200GS accessories come in every shape and form, but they all have one thing in common - they're NOT cheap! So are they worth it?

    After 30+ years of nothing but 1000cc sports bikes (including 3 gixers, you’ll be pleased to know) I’m now on my 2nd consecutive GSA. Stop press... I placed the order for my 3rd, yesterday!
    I’m looking forward to seeing what you chose. 👍
    BTW, the front fender extender is absolutely brilliant. The mudsling might be good for mud but didn’t do what I wanted it to do with water. I sold after my first wet weather trip - it protects the shock but the rider gets drenched legs from spray coming out sideways. I tried the Puig hugger, and it’s superb - I wouldn’t be without it! It now gets transferred from bike to bike - you need to save your bolts, Bruce! 😉👍

I had my GS done by them after seeing your vid and like you it felt different afterwards. I too have had comments about taking my vid down, but until someone can show 100% that Hilltop are con men, I will keep vid up. Glad to hear that full time YouTubing going well for you

    Great vid - as ever. Yep, totes agree on headlight guard: Honda wanted £1200 for a new Crossrunner unit to which my somewhat agitated reply was “I might as well have bought a BMW!”
    Talking of which, seems to me your eye is on the KTM. But please take a 1250RS out for a TeapotOne review because I’d love to know what you think.
    All the best

    A vloga who uses his bike, nice job, top tip for you, when adding accessories keep the package it came in and any bolts replaced put in said packaging and the packaging is always handy when you want re-sell. The GS suited you sir, abit like Honda Bentley would suit Tango'dMissendenFreebie 😜

    @ginger1908 4 года назад +6

    THE KTM is high up on my suspicions for the new bike. However, you do love the GS and the 1250 does everything a little better than the 1200. While I would say the 1250, the fact that you say the extra parts won't fit the new bike make me switch to the KTM as your new purchase.

    • @TheScottishBiker
      @TheScottishBiker 4 года назад

    Really enjoy your videos, like the way you produce them. My question and I sincerely hope you don’t mind!
    I have a 1200 GS Rallye 2018. This is my 8th GS! I normally buy them new, keep for two or three years. I bought this 2.5 years ago with 1,500 miles on it. Just love the bike!!!
    Sitting with 19,500 miles on the clock, you did 50,000 miles on your Rallye, was it reliable? Did you have any unexpected cost’s.
    I’m thinking about keeping this bike.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this, much appreciated.

  • @ryanforeman3650

  • @Martin3869
    @Martin3869 4 года назад +4

    I hope it's the 1250 GS HP, but I have a sneeky suspicion it might be the KTM GT. Don't know if I could trade shaft drive for a chain now :)

    • @BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne
      @BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne 3 года назад +2

      Totally agree Martin. Anyone seriously looking to do a lengthy tour must be mad to want a chain drive. I was telling everyone decades ago that the Kawasaki Z1300 with its shaft drive and water cooling was the way forward. I was laughed at.......
