- Mad Sunday at last years Isle Of Man TT. Got up early for a cruise around. Excuse the poor lines and ham fisted throttle work. The R1200GS Adventure is a big old beast, but it still goes nuts when you want it too !!!!!

I cannot ever get over how well the R1200GS's handle, absolutely love mine, they seem to prove Scottie wrong and "you can defy the laws of physics" :) In terms of real world power where keeping sportier bikes revved up enough isn't always practical or easy, the GS is a lot faster than people think from looking at the performance purely on paper.
Damn that guy overtook u from the left and that too just a few inches away 🤯
I bet a few sport bikes crap themselves when they see that thing approaching. Great riding!!
Thanks man!!
This is awesome, thanks for sharing it. Seeing a GS ridden a lot harder than I can ride mine is a fun time.
Thanks man!!
great to see a GSA "on the move". Too many nutters on the circuit for my liking, You rode it like a king, well done
What a sound the beemer makes. So tempting over the mountain to just race every other fucker out there! Good to see you back bro 👊
Cheers dude!
OK, this is awesome.
This is the best RUclips video I have seen. I just ordered a 2017 triple black R1200 GS Adventure.. Thanks for the video sir
Thanks man!! Great choice of new Motorcycle too!!
"Weird having the whole road to use." Got a taste for the right lane like we have in the U.S.? I'm a GSA rider, too. It does have balls! I pity the drivers in the cars getting passed.
Spectacular. I really want to do that ride one of these days.
Superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sound.
"I suppose you just gotta dodge the morons"
"FUCKIN IDIOT"
back to video 😂
Awesome vid, GSA rules ...on & off road.
what a big lump of metal that is,,, ya got a big heart mate !!!! glad to see you back
Thanks man!!
That's pretty much every bikers dream breakfast ride out.... via the whole IOM TT course!
That GS sounds well. Particularly when short shifting and giving it a fistful.. Nice
Jay B cheers, has Mivv headers and a LeoVince can
Hi Crotchrocket, thanks for the video. I've now upgraded to the GSA from the GS and it takes the whole concept of the bike to a higher level, just as you said it would. Cheers and ride safe, Andy
A good choice!!! I really love my GSA and never really felt attached to the GS.
Bloody nice mate!!!
Cheers dude! !
Nice video 👌 it looked like good fun. That throaty growl sounds a bit like my Triumph Tiger Sport.
The GSA isn't for old men, it's for REAL men!
Thanks for sharing. Good job. Question. I have a new GS 1200 and see you have neat mount for your iPhone. What is it? I want it. Can you give me the details? Thx!
F*****G hell bud, did you put slicks on that thing !!!! Enjoyed every moment of that vid. Thinking of buying a GS and been told that they are a bit sluggish when it comes to speed......are they F**k !! Thanks for posting (I think you made my mind up lol). Awesome riding by the way.
Thanks man! The GS isnt sluggish at all, in fact its surprisingly revvy! The GS is slightly quicker than the GSA too. Have a look at a couple of my older vids, i had a white GS.
Mate, the only folk who say they're sluggish.... are folk who've never ridden one, almost 90ft/lbs of Torque..at about 6k rpm, weight that up against a sports bike, ops the max power is nowhere near 200bhp but thats not the whole story ;-)
That's how you ride a GSA! Bloody entertaining :)
Thanks dude !!
Nice sound, what exhaust pipe is that?
Great video!
Cheers dude!
What are the rules of speeeding and the one way bits? Never been but when there's a national speed limit (60) is that just completely derestricted? And what parts are just one way? Definitely need to do this at some stage
Superb video! You've convinced me to get on with my plans of visiting the Isle to watch the race soon. You mentioned having a GS before your GSA. I have ridden both (own a GS) and wonder whether you miss the agility of the GS? Any regrets in your move to the GSA from a GS?
Gonna have a go on my 1200 this year, be a bit different to my last lap on an Aprilia RSVR
now thats how you ride a r1200gsa nice to see another vid again after the long break since the last one I was wondering if you were going to make another
Cheers dude!
nice video, and some great riding, we're going June 3' for ten days.
lucky you!! its an amazing experience!
Great video
Thank you !!
Great vid, and bike sounds even better! What tank bag was that?
Matt Brodacki that was a Kreiga US20 strapped with a tank mount
this is how we ride in South Africa all year round ^^
Awesome video. Please tell me what suspension setting you used? 2 up set to hard?
Tend to use two up in medium damping setting.
The price of that red bull would be enough to wake me up lol
hahaha !
Here in sweden they cost aprox £3 so I think that was quite cheap for a gas-station.
Finally :)
Bob ha! Yep back in the game
I have been rideing HD and in the HD scene for years now ,but i really like the GS. If only i could quit the Harley scene...
or ride both!! I had a Harley last year
Nice ride
Thanks!
Ok - I'm convinced I gotta go now... is it always one way on both lanes there? Looks like a friggin theme park for motorcycles... like Disneyland without all the rubbish!
Its only one way over the mountain section (Ramsay to Creg-Ny-Baa) during the TT fortnight. Other times its two way, but still derestricted !!
Good vid mate bike sounds great.
Cheers dude!
Dear crotchrocket, you need to change your throttle :) shorted one would be nice like gp bikes :)Excellent ride , I have enjoyed lot !
I am currently on a BMW S1000XR which is fast but i fancy a GSA,would i be disappointed with it's performance? or can they shift.
I dont think so, they shift pretty good. Different type of power though, low end grunt. Runs out of steam at high RPM.
I had 2 GS LC and loved the bike and it's low end grunt of the boxer ...but my current XR makes me grin more.
Good sounding Exhaust...wonder if you can get them in the USA
Don't see why not. Its a LeoVince SBK silencer (in stainless) and Mivv Stainless headers.
I was curious about that too. I have test ride this bike and seen more than a few videos from the saddle, and I'm bugged by the rattly engine noise from below. Your video suggests that the exhaust can drown out the rattle and get back to the throaty rumble of the old oil heads. Daft, I know, but the hollow rattle of tappets and valves is a real irritant in the way of me upgrading... Does your exhaust sound as good from the cockpit as does in this video?
Yeah It sounds pretty much the same in reality. It drowns out 90% of the engine rattles and thats a straight through pipe. I guess you'd need to shorten the silencer down to make it louder still.
when's the next vid? one in 9 months can't wait much longer dude
what kind of tires you running
These are Michelin Anakee 3 tyres.
A thumb ring 😱
길이 엄청 좋네.경주가 열릴만 하네..
Hi there, nice video.
Why is your TC light on ?
Thanks! The light is on because the TC is switched off.
Why do you ride with TC off, it's not intrusive.
MirageGP I find it intrusive
Interesting. Maybe it's your tyres.
Its not sliding, i just find the front wheel lifts very easily on uneven roads when hammering the throttle and it quickly cuts power.
I can get like that when I drink Redbull too.
Guess you'll be asking to borrow my bike this year xD
I need something that can do all 37 3/4 miles though !!
+Finnoctane the amount you spend on touring, you'll be hard pressed getting a new bike any time soon...mind you, a small deposit and a lot of debt gets you a GS for £99 a month these days.
Balloaks Bruh!!! Tell me about it...I've had to delay getting an MV Augusta F4RR so I can ride to Patagonia. Proper pains in the balloaks!
Finnoctane Ah the MV, most mechanics recon it's the most beautiful machine around, sadly most owners can't agree, as their bikes are constantly in the garage being repaired. ;-)
Your the fastest GS rider I've ever seen!
Damn that thing can rip when you want it to. I reckon the GSA is the ultimate mile-cruncher. It seems to be able to conquer any task. Im going to the TT next year I think :D Only reason you put the red-bull clip in was beacuse of the price wasnt it? ahhaa
Samuel Wicks thinking about it, it was quite expensive!!
Schnell Panzer !!!
indeed!! moves when you want it too haha.
Wrench the throttle back like what your doing on the GS on my ZX14r and all you would see would be sky, our weights,width and length are comparable.
I am not knocking your bike as I am comparing any bike to my ZX as a possible next bike
1.69.. Bargain.
check uo our chanel my husband dont like to speek but he does great rides i love u all i drive too and its grat to share roads togethers
