- I rode a new 2022 BMW Urban GS. Do you want to know what do I think about it ? So here comes my opinion , an opinion from a classic bike user. It's definitely not a review as I won't tell you any specs just my personal thoughts, honest opinion and how do I feel on that bike. And that opinion is coming from someone who is not the biggest BMW's fan and also someone who is not a fan of modern bikes in general. Interested? Stay here and watch the whole video.

Thanks for a clear concise non BS review, starting to love that bike myself.
Glad to hear it!
I do enjoy the way you don't hold back and say it for how it is.
Really liking the BMW white and M power colors on this one, and I agree, a fun bike to twist the throttle on, just right amount of pull!😃👌
One other great thing with it is if you like to take some dirt roads to a location, and no more dirty chain to clean.😁
Looking forward to see and hear what you will try more, and what bike you will go for in the end!👍
Right amount indeed. We will see what will come next ;)
Awesome stuff LB, is a cracking bike, I was very tempted by the R9T when it first came out to replace my V7.... but it never happened.
screens always cause wind noise I've found, is why I love naked bikes so much.
Hope the trip is continuing to be splendid and you are having some good giggles? Was brill to finally meet you over at the ABR 🙂
Luckily mine have lower screen. The bike is great indeed and with every mile I enjoy it even more. And yes, it was brilliant to finally meet you in person
@@UncleLongbeard I should have popped over to your pitch and taken a look, will have to see it next time!
@@HippoDrones haha, true but you'll have many chances to see it in my videos
Thanks, good video. Could you or Wollaston slist what has been customised here versus the standard Urban GS?
front mini fairing and fender from Unit garage, side number, rear enduro fender - same. Seat from unit as well. The rest I believe is stock
Great view of the back of the screen hehe, I like this bike it looks smaller than I thought it was :)
It's about right size really. Big but not massive
Looks great. I have 1995 R1100RS and it is an excellent bike 🙋🇭🇷
It sure is! Cheers
Looks like you are smitten with the BMW. They sound lovely, similar to W800. Would you change the exhausts or was it loud enough for you?
The pipes were loud enough. I'm not a maniac, i just want to hear it 😜
Just bought a R nine T Pure and can relate to what you say, just a pure works for me better!
I was considering pure but thought that urban is weirder ;)
Great looking bike, no doubt!
A beautiful motorcycle. Good acceleration and good handling. Too bad the bubble is not transparent.
Indeed, would be a bit better to see the road 👍
I'd totally buy that bike just because of the way it looks. Even for a first bike (beginner). It may not be the best but that would be perfect for just cruising short distances on early Sunday mornings.
I think there are better bikes for cruising short distances ;) I love it as a touring bike to be honest
Nice bike! Do you know which tail that is?
I don't but I guess unit garage as most custom parts there I'm sure were from UG
Not a BMW fan but have to admit those so look good and would consider owning one, and a shocking lack of complaining, who do I make a complaint to?
it is shocking to me indeed ;) I mean lack of complaining ;)
how many years have you had the W for? I think you should try a few Guzzis before settling on the bmw, more old school, more character is my personal opinion.
I started fifth year with the W. Not that long really but as much as I love that bike, I love plenty other bikes as well ;) And want to ride them all ;) Talking about the MG or BM or other bikes - I have enough of old school character in my garage still, so I'm more into something that is a bit less old school actually ;) We'll see
@@UncleLongbeard I cant picture you on anything more modern than the r nine t. it would be very strange. W800 is missing something after a while, grunt, character? something on top of the beauty. I got a big block guzzi after my w, one of the last ones from early 2000s, modern enough with twice the power of the w while still feeling retro, still feels like a real motorcycle. Maybe an indian? the scout? liquid cooled though... Good luck, cant wait to see what you settle on.
I think that r9t is the most modern bike I can get ;) W800 is still a great bike but indeed miss a bit of angry character. It is too good and smooth basically but I also need a change as there is loads of bike I would like to have in this world ;)
I also can't wait Guzzi on the table 😁
Would the z900rs be a natural upgrade to the W800 ?
Hmm, good bike but 2 cylinders too many ;)
wich rear fender brand is it ?
no idea, but most of the custom parts there were Unit Garage
I consider it as my 3rd bike 😁
Not a bad idea ;) what are the first two then?
I plan on trading in my versys 650 for one of these tomorrow and this pretty much sold me even more
You'll be happy with the change
@UncleLongbeard yeah it's worth it, got the pure because I knew I'd want to customize it
@@ethanloughlin9052 the smile factor on this bike is a bit different than on Versys ;) Pure is a brilliant custom base. Cheers
GREAT vid n comments.
Thank You. APPRECIATED.
( 'OZ' )
Glad you enjoyed it
"pensioners' bike"? I'm 69 (and a "pensioner") and ride a 999S, ZX9R, Aprilia Tuono Factory, Husky 701 Supermoto, Bultaco 370 Pursang, Husky 701 Enduro, Husky TE250i, etc., etc....you get the point...but what was yours? BTW, I'm looking to add one of these Urban GS's to the stable as a fun backroader. Interesting review, but watch those assumptions!
hahaha, what I meant is mental "pensioners" if you know what I mean. Age has nothing to do with that. When you start saying that you can only ride comfortable machines - then you are the real pensioner ;) No matter if you are 35 or 95 ;)
@@UncleLongbeard Understood, and thanks. Fun review - looking forward to more!
