Cool! Loved your vids on your 1st one. They helped me upgrade my 2022. Much lighter than my Super Tenere and plenty of zip for this old dude. Looking forward to seeing you throw yours around in the mud!
@@lifesjourneyat50 thanks. i ended up buying the F850 GS at the 1:14 mark in your video. that was the bike, specifically, that i made the drive to check out. easing my way into the adv world from the sport touring world. i'll be watching your future vids on the tuareg with great interest. if the adv bug bites, i could see that in strong contention for the next one!
I will say I like the GSA better live and more than the GS...the Matte Green is awesome vs the Glossy on the GS....Kisslle has them and he's ready to work with folks..ha!!
Congratulation Matt, the last time I was at Kishel I rode a toureg per your recommendation and like it very much. You built a beautiful motorcycle by the way I agree with you with Kishel. They are very nice people. Enjoy your new bike ride safe.
Will be following. Just bought a used 2022 same as your first one. Your upgrades are a dream wishlist though mine has alot of goodies..but not that suspension.. Love the bike and will be on it this summer .
Had a 2022. Great bike. With the KTM Husky problems this may be the go to bike...had zero issues with it. Just wish it had a bit more HP...nice to know how your suspension works!! Put a unifilter and a slip on amd you will notice a bit more power. Enjoy!!
Hey Matt,I’ve had 22 motorcycles since I was 15.I think your gonna catch up to me,lol.I don’t know how you do off road at our age,my Harley is getting hard for me to ride for more than an hour or two.I tried adv riding waaaay back in the day.I bought a brand new Honda Transalp in 89.
hey - I'm just trying to catch you and stay alive...ha!....the Off Road is getting harder as we approach 60...hahah!!!...thanks for commenting and watching...good to hear from you!!!
The bike looks awesome!!!!!! Send me the title I’ll hold it for you so you can’t sell it. Can’t wait to see it in person. Are you doing any winter rallies?
@@Catboy-hr2qp oh no...never getting rid of my GS'S.....ha...I have to say...I only spent about 1k+ on my first one and really want to get this one out longer...
@lifesjourneyat50 Hey Cincinnati! I'm a few miles away from you. You're an interesting dude! I did it the other way around. 😊 Started on dirt and moved to street. It'd be fun to compare my Tuono 660 with your Tuareg 660 since so many of the engine parts are interchangeable. Are you part of any of the local motorcycle groups?
Cool! Loved your vids on your 1st one. They helped me upgrade my 2022. Much lighter than my Super Tenere and plenty of zip for this old dude. Looking forward to seeing you throw yours around in the mud!
I don't know about throwing...maybe dumping...haha!!! - Thank you!!!
You are crazy, I am envious! See you at the fools ride!
Crazy...I take that as a compliment Sir!!! HA!...Absolutely see you there!!!
congrats on the new bike! it was nice talking to you at kissel's and hearing your take on the various models. enjoy the new ride and stay warm!
Great meeting...whatever choice you make...enjoy it...and ride what you want...hope to see you out there!!!

@ congratulations...and enjoy it...thanks
I’m glad somebody agrees with me that the 1300 GSA’s are beautiful. I want one with ASA.

@ I prefer the traditional white, red and blue ones but they aren’t setup the way I want. I want electronic suspension and ASA.
As hard as I might, cant point to an uglier bike than this new GS
@@jdesmo1 Have you seen it in person? It’s the best-looking adventure bike on the market.
Congratulations with the new ride . Many happy safe and trouble free miles
Trouble free will be welcomed - thanks!

Thank you - yes excellent dealership...Now it's time to test this bike out..ha!!! - thanks again!!!
Stunning bike !
I'm on my way to Kissells to pick up my new Tuareg today.
@@Brad-RB nice…great dealership - the people are fantastic…enjoy!!!
Agreed. The Tuareg will be the third bike that I purchased there. Have you been to the Soggy Bottom rally?
@ this coming year….Josh is making sure Im there…hahah
Will be following. Just bought a used 2022 same as your first one. Your upgrades are a dream wishlist though mine has alot of goodies..but not that suspension.. Love the bike and will be on it this summer .
Thanks and I will get some miles on it for sure...enjoy your bike!
Great looking bike!!
Thank you!

That’s a beautiful bike! Congrats

Things happen and it sucks. It's awesome that you're still able to live vicariously through others.
If it wasn’t for the heat issue on those Tuaregs, I’d have one immediately.
Only time I feel heat is if I'm not moving. Maybe don't use for a commute or traffic bike
GREAT BIKE !!!
Thank you!
The bike looks awesome!!!!!! Send me the title I’ll hold it for you so you can’t sell it. Can’t wait to see it in person. Are you doing any winter rallies?
HA!!! - Not selling anytime soon...well for now anyway...hahah!!! - Winter Rallies...trying to head south!!!
Alot of people consider the tuareg the best adv bike you can buy right now. Did you get rid of the GS though?
@@Catboy-hr2qp oh no...never getting rid of my GS'S.....ha...I have to say...I only spent about 1k+ on my first one and really want to get this one out longer...
No wounder you ignored about the training with Traction E-Rag 😂🤣.
HA!
What are you doing man been there done that
Yes - but I only had the other one for a 1K miles...and wanted to give a go with it built up....
don't throw that one into limp mode this time ;)
that would be a good thing...ha!!

Are you part of any of the local motorcycle groups?
@@MotoDadness just the Cincinnati BMW club...always like to meet others and would be cool to connect on the bikes...
Do you still have to take it back to the dealership for them to reset the service reminder if you do your own service?
Yes unfortunately....I have not heard of a work around for this....
