Hallo Schaaf Hab heute erst erfahren, dass es von mir mit meiner GS auf RUclips ein Video vom Ochssattel geben soll. Erst dachte ich, dass ist nicht wahr. Doch als ich es jetzt gesehen habe ist klar, es stimmt.:) Hätte ich damals gewusst dass du filmst, hätt ich mich mehr bemüht.;) Die Kritik wegen dem Kurven schneiden nehme ich zur Kenntnis. Aber wenn man das Video aus meinem Blickwinkel sehen könnte würde man sehen, dass man sehr weit voraus sieht, und es zu keiner Zeit gefährlich war. Aber, es gibt auch auf dieser Strecke immerwieder gefährliche Situationen , durch Kurvenschneider. Bin gerade von meinem jährlichen sechstages Urlaub aus den Dolomiten zurück gekommen und kann dir nur sagen, einfach GEIIIIL. Weniger Verkehr als die letzten Jahre und suuuper Wetter. Wäre sicher toll mit dir den Mendelpass (meine Lieblingsstrecke da unten) rauf und runter zu "cruisen" ;) Sollten wir uns am Ochssattel wieder mal treffen, können wir bei einem Kaffee und Topfenstrudel plaudern. Brauchst nur nach einer weissen GS mit W-Kennzeichen Ausschau halten, die gemütlich dahin tuckert.;) Deine Videos sind einfach toll.👍👍👍👍👍 Bleib im Sattel, LG Otto 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Servus Otto! Wie genial ist das denn bitte, dass du 3 Jahre später dann doch noch "dein" Video findest! Herrlich! :) Die Kurvenschneiderei seh ich selber eh überhaupt nicht eng. Ich schneide selber gern, weil ich eben auch in der Lage bin, weit genug vorauszuschauen ;) Da beschweren sich die Tastaturkämpfer im Internet einfach ganz gern, verstehen aber selber kaum was von der Thematik... Ich war heuer auch schon in Südtirol. Wie du sagst, es war unglaublich! :D Ich werde in Zukunft nach einer weißen GS Ausschau halten! Allzeit gute Fahrt!!
If you're interested in my opinion about the Z900's rideability you'll have to watch this video please: ruclips.net/video/-_FmEM4a3_Y/видео.html Please excuse the metallic clanging noise you can sometimes hear! Hope it's not too bad!
thanks, not trying to be properly fast. But if you want to help me improve you need to be more specific. Keep in mind that I had almost zero experience with the bike and the outside conditions were very bad. I'm listening:
Schaaf Your throttle control is very abrupt which destabilises the bike, meaning you are less fluid (read slower) in corners. You are also too anxious to shift up even seconds before entering a turn, meaning that you are wasting too much time and concentration changing gears instead of focusing on braking later, entering the curve at the right speed and following an optimal line. Short shifting an engine like the one on the Z900 also means that you are not using the power and torque rev range to its full extent. Shifting up clutchlessly as harsh as you do it also destroys your gearbox.
Awesome Schaaf! I am not brave enough to ride fast on such roads :) At 3:59, I could see the powder/gravel on the road getting sprayed from rear tyre of GS. Kudos to you two! Hope that GS guy stumbles upon this video :)
Oh my... !!! 😍 That's so cool to see you guys riding these 2 awesome bikes how they deserve to be ridden on this beautiful road. I'm especially surprised by the GS rider, as most of them are wise middle-aged men who go easy on the throttle...
In shitty road conditions a GS is stupid fast it will eat bumps and bad tarmac like its nobodys business, in a good road i can always leave behind my friend in his GS but when we ride in very bumpy/poorly mantained roads I strugle to keep up with him. After seeing panniers almost touching the ground with adv tires...... yeah that shit is crazy
Some friends of me "middle aged" like you stupidally have said, would play with you (and your cheap and albanian bike) like cat with a mouse, riding a gs. Probably you will be a child of 18 years old. Cheers from ITALY boy
An overtake on that road would have been bad in those conditions. The BMW would have defended his lead and you would have had to go way to fast. Smart riding. I see gravel, I go slow.
GS with its wide bars, awesome firm yet plush suspension, and a torquey ass motor= no slouch!👍 great video, I used to have a 1987 GS back in the day...they've always handled very well in the twisties.
That was a fantastic dual, you and Mr GS certainly went for it full on considering the conditions. I have to say Mr GS was not at all what i expected, a lot of GS riders are older slower riders (i mean no offence, i just think they have the money and want the best for them in comfort, power and reliability and i don't blame them). I am so glad you made that ride on that day at that time because the end result was thrilling!! Thank you and as always Ride (and speed) Safe.
I like coming across riders who are willing to play a bit. 90% of people will be happy to putter along in traffic or go at 30-40mph in the twisties and never really attempt to do any faster-ish riding. There is this one GS guy who I sometimes "race" around with on motorway... don't know the guy other than this brief stretch of motorway we happen to converge upon at the same time. All legal speeds just some crazy filtering between cars to see who can get to the exit first (luck would have I never have my camera when he shows up...). It makes the occasional ride back home from work memorable. I'm surprised he can squeeze that thing through some of the gaps I barely fit through on my MT09 :)
Kenn ich. Also die Situation, wenn man die GS hinter einem nicht los wird. Oder man nicht dran vorbei kommt. :D Der Fahrer in dem Video ist früher sicherlich übel mit einer SuperSportler durch die Gegend gewemmst und fährt jetzt (dem Rücken zu Liebe) was gemütliches :D
I never really even touch the corners of my back tire in 14000 miles on my R6s. Then I realized hey I live in Michigan and I can't think of any roads that have corners. I've never had the pleasure riding on something twisty like this.
So got a chance to test ride the Z900 today. Great bike, best suspension of any bike I've ridden. Also weird getting THAT much mid-range torque from a 4 cylinder haha, I'm used to 600s.
you're one brave soul to ride like that on a gravel infested cold roads and if I remember good kawasaki stock tyres are not exactly confidence inspiring...but that could be just me 😁 as always pleasure to watch 👍, im of to Alpes on Sunday so we might cross our paths 😉
Nice video as usual! Impressive the confidence of the GS man when you see all the gravel throwed from his tyres!!! How do you manage to have a clear sound of the bike, and no wind?
I've only recently discovered your channel and videos, and to me as a novice rider they are gold!!! Another top quality video this one!!! I really like the way you ride, though it's still way too fast for me! Hopefully your stuff will help me pick something up!!! Keep it up! Ride safe!!!
Traumhafte Strecke wirklich und echt schön gefahren von beiden! Ich bin sie Donnerstag in die andere Richtung und Freitag zurück gefahren. Donnerstag bei schönstem Wetter und Freitag bei regennasser Fahrbahn. Ich habe eine BMW F650 und da ist es wohl das gleiche wie bei der GS, dass die Reiseenduros von schlechter Fahrbahn wirklich profitieren können, zumindest halt im Vergleich mit den anderen Bikes. Wobei, einen Vergleich hab ich ja doch nie, da ich, wenn es regnet ja immer alleine unterwegs bin, weil sonst scheinbar keiner so deppert ist gerade bei diesem Wetter irgendwohin zu müssen :D
tehehehe ;) Aber ja, ich selbst bin mit der 800er Tiger über den Ox auch schon drüber. Der macht mit den hochbeinigen Geräten wirklich jede Menge Spaß!!! Danke!
That's a knarly section of road complete with drop offs and trees. I'll catch up to you guys at the next rest stop. Bike sounds good. I'm still a fan despite the negative reviews by some on the bike's looks. I must say though, now the new RS looks mighty sharp, especially in black.
The Sugomi design is very aggressive and i guess some folks dont like that. The RS has more power down low but loses top end. Its components are superior mainly because they are fully adjustable. For me its not worth the price especially when you look at how little you are getting by paying 2500€ more than for the standard model.
The GS rider probably knew better his bike than you on the Z. And many time I saw you taking more clever lines. I'd love to see you going to the French Moto Tour (longest in the world ? 1week of pure biking for all bikers with any bike) and post RAW videos !!!
Great onboard!! I'm curious.. are there signs on the road letting you know how tight the corners are? Or do you both know the road well enough to blitz it and anticipate each corner? I find myself in lots of trouble if I'm going hard on a road without knowing it super well / not having signs. For example, a turn might have a "25 mph" sign before it and I judge my entry speed based on the sign. With so many blind corners I'm just surprised you seem to know exactly what to expect!
Out of the many disadvantages the GS had one advantage- It's suspension is plush as fuck, so he'd barely be feeling all the undulations in that road. Good rider too!
Ging mir vor ein paar Tagen auch so, da bin ich mit meiner Streety R einer Triumph Tiger 1200 hinterhergehechelt, habe hinterher mit dem Dude ein Pläuschchen gehalten und mich ziemlich gewundert als da so ein Typ Anfang 60 unterm Helm zum Vorschein kam, wären seine Fußrasten nicht permanent auf dem Boden geschliffen wäre der mir glatt abgehauen, Hubraum lässt sich nun mal durch nichts außer Hubraum ersetzten ^^, in den Kurven war meine Gemse ein bisschen flotter aber auf der nächsten Graden aus dem Drehzahlkeller haste kaum eine Chance wenn da ein Könner auf dem Moped sitzt.
Nice Video! That is one of the dangerous road in Austria.This year in April 2019 two People died in a frontal crash,because one of them want to overtake a car. R.I.P. to tow Familys!!!
Stimmt leider! Das Image der GS leidet sehr unter den diversen Midlife-Crisis Fahrern, die einfach zu viel Kohle besitzen, und sich eine GS aufschwafeln lassen. Weil sie tatsächlich ein grenzgeniales Motorrad ist. Aber wenn man mit so einem verhältnismäßig schwerem Haufen anfängt, Motorrad zu fahren, dann wundert es mich nicht, dass es lange dauert bzw. nie passiert, dass man sich auch nur ansatzweise das vorhandene Potenzial ausschöpfen traut.
Das Problem haben aber viele Motorräder. Selbst die SuperDuke verkommt zum Rentnermopped. Da werden dann überdimensionale Scheiben rangeschraubt weil die Windgeräusche zu laut werden etc pp.. Wahnsinn, diese Midlifecrisis. Dabei gibt es doch Moppeds die von Natur aus alles bieten. Und zügig bewegt werden können, wenn man denn will ( oder kann)
Ganz deiner Meinung, leider sind Mopeds wie eine GS oder Super Duke für viele erst mit fortgeschrittenem Alter bezahlbar - wenn überhaupt. Aber zum Glück zeigt uns der liebe Schaaf das es nicht "viel" Motorrad braucht um viel Spaß zu haben (und sportlich unterwegs zu sein)
Sehr sehr geiles Video Schaaf!! Du ich habe die neue Go pro Hero 5 und finde keinen ND FILTER dazu.. hast du irgendeine Empfehlung, weil deine aus der Beschreibung passt (leider in meinem Fall) nicht auf die 5er drauf :(
sorry dude, did not mean to hurt your feelings... its just me trying to get to know your motives... keep on riding with a smile, than we can keep on watching your videos with a smile...
+Schaaf Mich wundert es, dass du die Z nicht wirklich ausdrehst, bzw. mal in der zwei oder drei weiter fährst, wohl wissend, die nächste Kurve kommt schnell, so dass sich ein Hochschalten im mittleren Drehzahlbereich nicht lohnt. 3:48 Bei deinem CB500 - Z1000 RX Video zeigst du, wie du die CB auch gerne mal im oberen Drehzahlbereich hältst und eben nicht schaltest ... hätte vermutet, dass sich die Z 900 genauso hochtourig fahren lässt und man sich einfach das ständige Schalten in die Vier spart, weil man eh gleich wieder in die Zwei möchte...
Ja, das könnte man machen. Mir gefällt das Sounderlebnis auf Video aber viel besser, wenn öfter geschalten wird. Und außerdem, die Straße in dem Video war so rutschig und dreckig, da ist es mir lieber, nicht das gesamte Drehmoment auf Anschlag zu haben.
A lot of people on here that a GS will wheelie ..... I have the new 1250 turn off that traction control make sure pro plus is on ( anti wheelie ) is now turned off 1 2 3 it will do it all on its own, when you hit hard lol
Just one thing: try to be a little more consistent with the speed. I see you opening and closing the throttle quite a lot. This way you only lose time and momentum in the corners. It's better to have some more speed coming in the corner than opening and closing again.
Fast belongs to the racetrack IMO. If you're interested in my opinion about the Z900's rideability you'll have to watch this video please: ruclips.net/video/-_FmEM4a3_Y/видео.html I collected a couple of thoughts in the video description
I didn't mean it like that. Everybody knows I like to ride fast from time to time. The next and final Z900 upload for example will be much quicker because I purposely tested its capabilities. I'd just never try to go as fast as I can on the open road. That would mean riding on my limits. And probably would end ugly rather quickly. I get your suggestion although it confused me a bit because my CB500 uploads actually prove that I know quite a lot about carrying momentum into corners. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold up with literbikes. In this case of this video I'd also thought it would be more obvious why I was operating the throttle a lot and didn't carry more speed into the corners. The grip levels were bad. I simply didn't dare to enter most corners any faster. Because then I'd have left my comfort zone. Which is a No-No for me on public roads.
Hahaha this gs guy i know very well at this track, i teached him the same lesson he gave you but fully on regular side of street only. He was several times totally frustrated that he couldnt catch up with me, but a real smart guy. Nice ride guys.

Find ich geil das deine GS artgerecht bewegt wird und noch geiler find ich es das die GS oft unterschätzt wird :D
Wow! Riding that 1200GS like a boss!
true that!!
@@Schaaf Diavel vs Z 900...thoughts..?
Very bad lines, the GS 😷
Here's my thumb of approval for a very high-quality video :)
thumb and heart of approval for a high-quality comment!

Please excuse the metallic clanging noise you can sometimes hear! Hope it's not too bad!
Schaaf Please help me to gain some subscriber
Only if you help me to gain some money
Schaaf , you need to be way smoother and much more fluid if you want to be properly fast. Your riding is unsettled and inefficient.
thanks, not trying to be properly fast. But if you want to help me improve you need to be more specific. Keep in mind that I had almost zero experience with the bike and the outside conditions were very bad. I'm listening:

he didn't really look like being part of the typical RUclips target audience :D :D Thanks ABK
The gs guy found this video 2 weeks ago lol
"Smiling brightly", that's how I was during the whole video haha ! Great to see you riding, as always !
glad you enjoyed! Thanks Baptiste!
I love when you meet other good riders on your way :)
me too!
This Clip never gets old.....
Still puts a big smile...
I'm glad to hear that!
Oh my... !!! 😍 That's so cool to see you guys riding these 2 awesome bikes how they deserve to be ridden on this beautiful road. I'm especially surprised by the GS rider, as most of them are wise middle-aged men who go easy on the throttle...
yes indeed! It was pure joy!!
I'm a wide middle aged man...and I never went easy on the throttle with my GSs ;-)
In shitty road conditions a GS is stupid fast it will eat bumps and bad tarmac like its nobodys business, in a good road i can always leave behind my friend in his GS but when we ride in very bumpy/poorly mantained roads I strugle to keep up with him.

exactly!! Thanks mate!
This beauty sounds so soothing. Darn refined. Loved the first RAW one from you. and this is just so superb.
thanks a lot mate! One more to come!
Those GS are truly surprising.. Nice video as usual !! We have to thank you for sharing this with us.. great quality!
you're welcome! GS rock!
Woohoo! That wheelie was Dank!
:D
GS with its wide bars, awesome firm yet plush suspension, and a torquey ass motor= no slouch!👍 great video, I used to have a 1987 GS back in the day...they've always handled very well in the twisties.
nice!
Hammer geil ! Es macht sooooo Spaß Euch zuzuschauen ... genau DAS mach Mopedfahren aus, spontanes gemeinsames Kurvenräubern 😍💪🏻🌅👌🏻✨
Your rev matching is on another level
thanks
6:04 Quite a demo why Schaaf's late apex style is better on public/unknown roads
Thanks
That Bmw rider was going all out!
Awesome stuff *_*
Those are some gorgeous looking bikes at the end :D
true that! Thanks!
I was looking to buy this bike for my first bike ever. Nice video!!! You can have alot of fun in swiss mountains :) looking forward to it
enjoy!!
It's great to find a playmate on a twisty mountain road.....on a good bike with tyres you trust it's such a good feeling! Steve
indeed! Thanks Steve
The joys of a smooth and wide powerband!
Yes
Die guade oide Kalte Kuchl! Eigentlich ein Wahnsinn wie viele Motorradl zu der Jahreszeit schon dort sind.
ja, war eines der ersten brauchbaren Wochenenden, wettermäßig! Da wird gleich fleißig ausgerückt :D
That was a fantastic dual, you and Mr GS certainly went for it full on considering the conditions. I have to say Mr GS was not at all what i expected, a lot of GS riders are older slower riders (i mean no offence, i just think they have the money and want the best for them in comfort, power and reliability and i don't blame them). I am so glad you made that ride on that day at that time because the end result was thrilling!! Thank you and as always Ride (and speed) Safe.
thank YOU! That's why I enjoyed this "meeting" even more. Because yes indeed it's rare to see a GS moved at a quick pace :)
I like coming across riders who are willing to play a bit. 90% of people will be happy to putter along in traffic or go at 30-40mph in the twisties and never really attempt to do any faster-ish riding.
There is this one GS guy who I sometimes "race" around with on motorway... don't know the guy other than this brief stretch of motorway we happen to converge upon at the same time. All legal speeds just some crazy filtering between cars to see who can get to the exit first (luck would have I never have my camera when he shows up...). It makes the occasional ride back home from work memorable. I'm surprised he can squeeze that thing through some of the gaps I barely fit through on my MT09 :)
ah yes. Spicing up the commute! Wonderful!
Mixing it up with that GS greatly enhances the throttle sound.
Agreed!
Kenn ich. Also die Situation, wenn man die GS hinter einem nicht los wird. Oder man nicht dran vorbei kommt. :D Der Fahrer in dem Video ist früher sicherlich übel mit einer SuperSportler durch die Gegend gewemmst und fährt jetzt (dem Rücken zu Liebe) was gemütliches :D
haha, durchaus realistisches Szenario!! Ich selbst möchte auch auf einer dicken Reiseenduro enden :D
Schaaf Dito, habe vor mir für A2 im August 'ne Tiger 800 anzuschaffen.
When I saw schaaf video I never missed to saw
:)
Oh man... My memories just came alive ... Thanks for this video buddy... 👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome!
Still one of the best riding vids ever!😎🤘
Thanks Ben
I never really even touch the corners of my back tire in 14000 miles on my R6s. Then I realized hey I live in Michigan and I can't think of any roads that have corners. I've never had the pleasure riding on something twisty like this.
sounds sad :(
So got a chance to test ride the Z900 today. Great bike, best suspension of any bike I've ridden. Also weird getting THAT much mid-range torque from a 4 cylinder haha, I'm used to 600s.
yea, true that. The engine surprised me a lot as well!
Great video, the color correction match perfectly with the environment!
thanks a lot!!
Was searching for this video from last 6 months
Well done!
you're one brave soul to ride like that on a gravel infested cold roads and if I remember good kawasaki stock tyres are not exactly confidence inspiring...but that could be just me 😁
as always pleasure to watch 👍, im of to Alpes on Sunday so we might cross our paths 😉
they worked very well! I'm living in Vienna so that won't happen, sorry!!
Nice video as usual! Impressive the confidence of the GS man when you see all the gravel throwed from his tyres!!!

Very impressive editing skills on the dash, I'll have to take notes 👍

That's a knarly section of road complete with drop offs and trees. I'll catch up to you guys at the next rest stop. Bike sounds good. I'm still a fan despite the negative reviews by some on the bike's looks. I must say though, now the new RS looks mighty sharp, especially in black.

I think the RS looks more comfortable as well. Nicer seat for longer rides.
You are very brave wich that tires!! Aren't realy good. I enjoy a lot wachind a video!
Thanks
Thanks bro ❤️ ❤️❤️
This is my favourite bike
I love Z900 n Z650
Thanks
Why you didn't pull the clutch while change the transmission up...?
The GS rider probably knew better his bike than you on the Z. And many time I saw you taking more clever lines. I'd love to see you going to the French Moto Tour (longest in the world ? 1week of pure biking for all bikers with any bike) and post RAW videos !!!
that would be awesome. Maybe in a couple of years from now :D

me too, Dan, me too!
5:23 You're welcome 😁
thanks
5:38 wer den Wheelie sehen will. Hammer geiles Video wie immer.
danke
Awesome video! Love my Z900!
nice! Thanks!
I got a 2009 R1200GS, and it handles well on twisty roads. It looks a 250kg brick but on good hands it could be a difficult ride to follow
the GS handles amazingly actually :)
Great onboard!! I'm curious.. are there signs on the road letting you know how tight the corners are? Or do you both know the road well enough to blitz it and anticipate each corner?

For example, a turn might have a "25 mph" sign before it and I judge my entry speed based on the sign. With so many blind corners I'm just surprised you seem to know exactly what to expect!
we know the road quite well indeed.
That's awesome you found someone on that road who knew it as well as you and wanted to have some fun! Cheers
It's funny that most people I know they would find these kind of roads a nightmare, but I look forward to ride or drive on roards like these :D
you know weird people then mate :O
Deine Handschuhe sind einfach legendär 😊
sowieso!
Out of the many disadvantages the GS had one advantage- It's suspension is plush as fuck, so he'd barely be feeling all the undulations in that road. Good rider too!
indeed
Once again a kick ass video love it!
thanks Jakob
Ging mir vor ein paar Tagen auch so, da bin ich mit meiner Streety R einer Triumph Tiger 1200 hinterhergehechelt, habe hinterher mit dem Dude ein Pläuschchen gehalten und mich ziemlich gewundert als da so ein Typ Anfang 60 unterm Helm zum Vorschein kam, wären seine Fußrasten nicht permanent auf dem Boden geschliffen wäre der mir glatt abgehauen, Hubraum lässt sich nun mal durch nichts außer Hubraum ersetzten ^^, in den Kurven war meine Gemse ein bisschen flotter aber auf der nächsten Graden aus dem Drehzahlkeller haste kaum eine Chance wenn da ein Könner auf dem Moped sitzt.
haha, der GS-Pilot hat auch sehr "akademisch" ausgesehen. Aber das sind meistens die Gefährlichsten ;)
Damn Schaaf, you are at hospital half "dead" still uploading videos respect bro ! 🤣 oh and yeah thanks !
I uploaded this before my crash
Nice Video! That is one of the dangerous road in Austria.This year in April 2019 two People died in a frontal crash,because one of them want to overtake a car. R.I.P. to tow Familys!!!
I nearly died myself on that road
Meiner Meinung nach machen genau diese momente das Motorrad fahren aus
Durchaus!
You can see the road condition isn't great, your riding is so smooth ;)
indeed!!
Schaaf great video .I Like to now ,your opinion about Multiestrada 1200 .This week y buy one.Thanks
activate the subtitles: ruclips.net/video/dMkU0emGV7s/видео.html
thank schaaf .conclusion the Gs is better but the multi is pure cuore jaja
7:50 holy heck that’s a lot of bikes! I have to come live there ;D
hehehe
Nice video! Even watched it twice!
I know its an old video but watching this ngl the Z900 seems like a real slouch, no get up and go at all.
it definitely isn't
@@Schaaf I know it just looks and sounds like it lol
those roads look really treacherous to ride on, especially in those conditions!
they are ;)
Beautyfull, nothing like Kawasaki !
yea!
Loved every second of it. Thanks you Legend.
thank YOU for the comment!
Will you make videos like this on a gs? You go really strong!! Fantastic
I would love to! Maybe later this year I'll find one to test ride under decent conditions!
ok thanks
Ochssattel ist einfach geil 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Absolut
I was smiling too watching bikers having fun .... but the GS's torque killed you !!!! 😂🤣😅
true :D
What microphone do you use? Not much windnoise 👍🏻
Very good riding, and nice road!
thanks man
oft auf der kalten kuhl unterwegs? hab schon einpaar videos von dir auf der kuhl gesehn ..
ja, so 4-5x pro Saison
Schaaf do you like more the Z900 or the gsxs750?
depends on what you want it for
Now thats a beautiful ride, awesome!!!!
thanks man
Hi. From the nakeds of today which one would you buy? GSXS 750 or Z900 or something else? Thanks.
street triple rs
Schaaf thank you
Also kann man eine GS doch sportlich fahren. Gedacht hab ich mirs ja schon aber gesehen eben noch nie :D
hättest mal mich auf der GS sehen sollen :D :D (gibt leider keinen Videobeweis)
ja fein mal jmd zu sehen der damit gas gibt, sonst stehen die ja immer in den Kurven herum xD

Das Problem haben aber viele Motorräder. Selbst die SuperDuke verkommt zum Rentnermopped. Da werden dann überdimensionale Scheiben rangeschraubt weil die Windgeräusche zu laut werden etc pp.. Wahnsinn, diese Midlifecrisis. Dabei gibt es doch Moppeds die von Natur aus alles bieten. Und zügig bewegt werden können, wenn man denn will ( oder kann)
Ganz deiner Meinung, leider sind Mopeds wie eine GS oder Super Duke für viele erst mit fortgeschrittenem Alter bezahlbar - wenn überhaupt. Aber zum Glück zeigt uns der liebe Schaaf das es nicht "viel" Motorrad braucht um viel Spaß zu haben (und sportlich unterwegs zu sein)
with the filter on it looks like im watching a gameplay from a video game
cool
Sehr sehr geiles Video Schaaf!!
Du ich habe die neue Go pro Hero 5 und finde keinen ND FILTER dazu.. hast du irgendeine Empfehlung, weil deine aus der Beschreibung passt (leider in meinem Fall) nicht auf die 5er drauf :(
danke, Daniel! Ich habe selbst noch keinen ND Filter für meine Hero5
Alles klar, danke :)

loved this vid! I noticed that in the last couple of your uploads, you blur the image when you check your lens. Why do you do that?
too hot to handle
Because it's "not him riding the bike" ;)
Haha, sharp answer, but it actually doesn't answer anything...
I don't need to answer everything. Plus it already got answered. Please do a bit of thinking yourself :)
sorry dude, did not mean to hurt your feelings... its just me trying to get to know your motives... keep on riding with a smile, than we can keep on watching your videos with a smile...
you live in paradise
I do
@@Schaaf you are a good dood! ride safe homey!
Great vid mate, can you please tell me where this is? I must go there
He even had time to say hi to rider in reverse lol so easy for him
yea
If you will ever visit Arona (Lago maggiore) in italy, let me know!!! :D
okay
+Schaaf Mich wundert es, dass du die Z nicht wirklich ausdrehst, bzw. mal in der zwei oder drei weiter fährst, wohl wissend, die nächste Kurve kommt schnell, so dass sich ein Hochschalten im mittleren Drehzahlbereich nicht lohnt. 3:48
Bei deinem CB500 - Z1000 RX Video zeigst du, wie du die CB auch gerne mal im oberen Drehzahlbereich hältst und eben nicht schaltest ... hätte vermutet, dass sich die Z 900 genauso hochtourig fahren lässt und man sich einfach das ständige Schalten in die Vier spart, weil man eh gleich wieder in die Zwei möchte...
Ja, das könnte man machen. Mir gefällt das Sounderlebnis auf Video aber viel besser, wenn öfter geschalten wird. Und außerdem, die Straße in dem Video war so rutschig und dreckig, da ist es mir lieber, nicht das gesamte Drehmoment auf Anschlag zu haben.
It goes without saying,that tractors do handle gravel better than most
true that ;)
And rides better in most conditions not only gravel..
I'm suprised by the accellerations of that GS compared to the z900. that thing must have a sh*tload of torque.
It has! Especially down low!
I guess I have to try one :)
What a nice place to ride!
Yea!
I do not understand those 13 people that dislike this video..
I do. You can't please everyone :) Thanks Mark
It was wonderful! deu. " wunderbarın " :D Excited riding and so scared :D
thanks :D
The gs is a heavy pig until you get it off the stand. It handles the twisties way better than it would seem possible
Absolutely
Witch is the name of the location...!? Is in Canada!? Say me PLEEEASE I love it! 🔝🤜🏼🤛🏼❤️
Ochssattel in Austria, mate
A lot of people on here that a GS will wheelie ..... I have the new 1250 turn off that traction control make sure pro plus is on ( anti wheelie ) is now turned off 1 2 3 it will do it all on its own, when you hit hard lol
Yup
Just one thing: try to be a little more consistent with the speed. I see you opening and closing the throttle quite a lot. This way you only lose time and momentum in the corners. It's better to have some more speed coming in the corner than opening and closing again.
I'm not trying to ride fast, I try to have fun. Thanks for the suggestion still
Fast is fun :D
p.s. How do you like the new Zed? I can only hear praise, analog beast and stuff...
Fast belongs to the racetrack IMO.
If you're interested in my opinion about the Z900's rideability you'll have to watch this video please: ruclips.net/video/-_FmEM4a3_Y/видео.html I collected a couple of thoughts in the video description
I didn't say supersonic stupid fast hehehe.
I didn't mean it like that. Everybody knows I like to ride fast from time to time. The next and final Z900 upload for example will be much quicker because I purposely tested its capabilities. I'd just never try to go as fast as I can on the open road. That would mean riding on my limits. And probably would end ugly rather quickly. I get your suggestion although it confused me a bit because my CB500 uploads actually prove that I know quite a lot about carrying momentum into corners. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold up with literbikes. In this case of this video I'd also thought it would be more obvious why I was operating the throttle a lot and didn't carry more speed into the corners. The grip levels were bad. I simply didn't dare to enter most corners any faster. Because then I'd have left my comfort zone. Which is a No-No for me on public roads.
Z900, Street triple 765RS or KTM duke 790? :)
street triple
@@Schaaf Thank you! :D
Only if maxwrist was here with you guys xD
he'd probably be shitting himself on a slippy road like that
mt09 or z900? love your videos
depends on your needs
Would a Z900 be a good upgrade from an Sv650?
absolutely
👏nice riding,where is the road?
I don't know why but Z900 looks like some muscle cruiser like the Ducati Daivel.
cool
the speedo show on the Z900 was in mph or km/h?
kph
Du schaltest ohne Kupplung. Hat die Z900 einen Quickshifter? Lass mich nicht dumm sterben :D
Super Video!
Das wäre dann wohl ein wahrlich schlecht funktionierender Quickshifter :OOO Nein, hat sie nicht! Danke!
Ist das dann nicht schlecht für das Motorrad? :o Danke für die Antwort!
nicht, wenn man es richtig macht
Hahaha this gs guy i know very well at this track, i teached him the same lesson he gave you but fully on regular side of street only. He was several times totally frustrated that he couldnt catch up with me, but a real smart guy. Nice ride guys.
cool
