- So an impromptu 'review' of the updated 2018 GS Adventure with TFT and SOS.
I missed this bike SO much and now... "I feel like me again" (find this book in the self help section at Waterstones.)
Great to hear your shared enthusiasm for the GS. After watching your exploits on the 2014 model I decided to buy one
They’re such a good bike. Got my first one back in May, have wanted one for a long long time. 9 year old GSA, just ticked over 16,000 miles. It’s mint and brought it back home to the Isle of Man where it was originally registered. Mega mega machine. Euro road trip is getting planned.
The SOS button has two modes depending on how you press it. A long despairing press, will have a bespoke beard delivered by drone. A short press will begin playing a Nick Saunders video as he circumnavigates the globe on an R1..
Two videos in two days, after months of you working hard and being quiet! Glad you are back BvG!
Between this video and the 44 Teeth review of the Tiger that's 40mins of Baron goodness in one day... I'd pay to have that level of content each week. Really appreciate your efforts Chris and glad to see you enjoying motorcycling in the purest way of just being out and on a machine that makes you feel free (physically and mentally). Love everything you do!
She's a beauty!!! I love it!!! Congrats mate!!! I wanted to thank you for all you do for us followers with providing us with such fantastic videos! I can't get enough of them! I really appreciate all you've done for me! You've got me out riding much more than ever, regardless of the weather, and you've improved my outlook on being out on the road, even when dealing with a lot of fucksticks! If you ever come out to The Circuit of The Americas, I'd love to meet you in person! Cheers mate! Enjoy your new toy!
I bought my first GS 3 weeks ago and it’s everything you said in your review. What really surprised me was how well it handles, absolutely amazing. I’m only 5’7” and with a low seat option it’s just fine.
I couldn’t agree more regarding the GS. It’s on my list for purchase. Great to see BvG back doing some videos. Looking forward to more 44T videos too. Keep up the good work and thanks, as always, for all your efforts 👍
Instant sub !! I am so in love with that bike!! I've watched hours and hours of reviews on it and this is exactly what i needed to see.. the affectionate stuff you don't get when watching a review of the tft screen and or self leveling suspension which is all very lovely, but still makes we doubt whether to go bimmer or ktm or or or.. thanks for a great job doing a great video..
Thank you so much, Chris for supplying us with honest and clever takes on bikes and surroundings. My hat is off to you, opening up about your bipolar condition (?). Not many have the guts to do so.
Bought my GS on the back of watching yours and other videos absolutely raving about one. Had it 12 months and 1300miles later I’m still in love with it. Absolute Jizz machine.
So pleased you've got your mojo back. I completely understand the allure of a bike that does it all!! Absolutely spaffing! !!!
Coming out and admitting you've had or have anxiety and stress as a man is a big deal and something I used to just scroll past if I saw it on social media. Having gone through it myself and still having good and bad days, it's the hardest thing I've ever had to cope with, fair play for doing it to such a wide audience and inspiring others to talk about it. I think the trip is a great idea buddy and I look forward to your up and coming trip and more of your ramblings!
I love that bike Baron, I've unfortunately had to stop riding for now due to a back injury but, seeing you on that bike keeps me going and hoping I can return to biking in the future
It’s great to see you at home again on the GS Adventure. I love my sport bikes too, but there is something reassuring and just plain fun about the GS. You feel safe on it, in any weather, and it just has a substantial feel about it- from that very tractable, great sounding flat twin to the overall quality of the design and construction. I just picked up a new Triple Black (the 2017 version). By the way, the Navigator VI screen works fine in direct sunlight, and Optimate makes a simple adaptor for the electrical socket. Enjoy the new bike!!
Happy to see you happy again, man. There really is something about a well-setup, big adventure bike that is just extra fun.
I find myself coming here again and again. Just love this bike and your Voice is so soothing.
Just completed my order today and this black beauty will be here in April, thank you for your videos and comments, helped quite a bit in my decision.
Thanks Chris, all that you said resonated, it’s great that you have good people that stand by you! 🤩👍
Currently at uni and owned a couple of sports bikes before choosing a GS (I don't have a driving licence!) So the GS was the tool for the job, and between owning it for 2 years, countless trips home... it's honestly been a pleasure. I completely agree with you Baron, It's a tool, and yes it will last a long time! Mines an 03 1150gs and with the panniers on it does pretty much everything, i've put 35 thousand miles on it in a little over 2 years! I'm looking forward to qualifying and looking at a new GSA myself. Thanks for the positive outlook on this bike, I'm really happy you've found a passion for riding through it again.
