Super goede video. Maar kun je geen uitzondering maken en mijn blok ook doen 😅 uiteraard tegen betaling. Dan zou ik je zeer dankbaar zijn ha ha Fijne dag

I like video and think fair. i have two 2011 rt’s Overall a great bike feels good fast enough and handles well. People of all walks come up to admire this bike. They are not perfect but overall are very satisfying to ride and grow on you.

Goeiemorgen, intussen al met de V100 Stelvio gereden?

Interesting video. It's obvious you are not aware of the market in the US. You will not ride a finer touring machine than my Victory Vision. But I am getting old, and my back is pretty much done, so my 900-pound baby has been retired. I now ride a 2017 Triumph Trophy SE, and let me tell you, I will have this bike until I can no longer ride. This bike has speed, agility, velvety smoothness, amazing range, unmatched comfort and a feature set that creates an incredible riding experience. I am not sure why so many riders took the bait of the ADV bike. I totally agree with you that 99% of ADV bikes never see the dirt. And that is fine. People should ride what they want to ride. For me personally I think ADV bikes are hideous and would never own one. Sport touring bikes, or touring bikes as you call them, have always been the bikes I have been drawn too. I think this segment has morphed into something else, and the manufacturers are bringing the Tracers, GSX-GTs, Ninja-SX and so on to the market to represent it. That's fine I suppose, but I still prefer my Trophy.

I’ve been riding GSA’s for ten years and love them. But I tested a new RT last year and was instantly hooked. It will be my next bike. Oh and I’m 58 😂

Fjr is still here

Old man bike whatever…I’m getting a fjr.

Nice job im just want someone to install a digital display instead but the display would have to be bigger than the original or a sheet of black plastic would have to be used on top as a filler

They're called sport touring to differentiate them from touring cruisers like the goldwing.

If the blinking bothers you turn off the cruise!

Hi sir I’m a big fun with channel… watching from NY and I have a bike Kawasaki kz650 sr that I’m trying to re-wired using a moto gadget any video from ur channel I could watch… thank you and god bless

You should read workshop manual . You know nothing. Rear disk as you call it is clutch and front are cut cones. Please stop making wrong info videos! And don't heat elements just to loosen double lock nut. You are terrible.

Hi, what fuel tank did you use on this build?

Hi Chief, i know you finished your build 5 years ago, but i was wondering if you can make a 2 min close up of all the vacuum hose and ventilation hoses that connect to the carbs, intake boots, and hoses into the frame of the bike. i see them a little bit in this video but not enough and i am having trouble understanding what i need. I didnt get the bike with all original setup so its hard to put back to stock. I have all the stock carbs and intake boots, but my new petcocks are just single hose fitting petcocks, no vacuum outlet on petcock... If you prefer to speak via Email i can do that. Thank you for all the help, hope you can help this also!

One question to both of you. After many years of wearing Shoei (GT Air and Neotec II) I went for a change to Schuberth C5, which I regret. (I'm selling it) The question: Are the newly built Neotec II, ECE 20.06 and/or Snell M2020R ? If is sold in USA then is DOT (poor test). Can you extend the info? Thank you. PS: To me Neotec III is not as practical as the Neo II

Hi i am interested in buying the same year bmw how much would this cost at a bmw dealership? I am an novice mechanic so i wouldn't attempt it myself.

GT bikes are viewed as 'Old Man' bikes and Adventure bikes are seen as more 'aggressive' looking or whatever.. But personally I think adventure bikes are almost universally ugly, and would never buy one. They are also much more of a compromise than a 'built for purpose' touring bike. Like the urban SUV cars, they appeal to people who want to look far more adventurous than they ever end up being! As a VFR800 rider, my eyes are on the Triumph ST1050 for my next bike..🤘

Very nice idea for producing a “blank diagram to draw on.”

Tja het tour segment lijkt te zijn doodgebloed. Helaas. Na een hoop crossovers te hebben gereden en nooit een korrel zand offroad gereden te hebben, rijd ik inmiddels alweer 2 jaar op een BMW r1100rt uit 2000. Dat ding is bijna bullitproof en ontzettend betrouwbaar en gemakkelijk te onderhouden. En natuurlijk zijn er wel eens dingetjes maar dat had ik ook met mijn Kawasaki gtr1400 en diverse Vstrom motoren. Zolang het kosten technisch binnen de perken blijft is het prima te doen. Ik rijd plm 25k per jaar op de motor en moet zeggen dat mijn oudje dit goed volhoud. Ook ik vind het jammer dat er niet echt meer een keuze is in dit segment. Jouw Honda is een dijk van een motor en zal je nog ver brengen. BMW zal altijd wel een tour motor houden omdat vele overheidsdiensten in de wereld deze motoren gebruiken. De KMAR is ook op BMW overgestapt omdat Yamaha de fjr niet wilde doorontwikkelen naar Euro 5 en 5+. Er is nog genoeg keuze op de 2e handsmarkt, nu nog. Ik zit wel te kijken naar een andere motor en die van jou maakt een kans, maar zit ook naar een hogere te kijken, dit ivm mijn knieën (relaxter zitten Yamaha SuperTen).

Op ruim 5 minuten begin je erover dat je het niet normaal vind dat er een recall of fout in de motorfiets mag zitten, omdat hij vanaf 23K te koop is? Maar zelfs auto's van 100K en meer krijgen die recalls.. gelukkig maar ;) Verder hele leuke review, en dat heeft mij doen besluiten bij aankoop van 2e hands motorfiets om deze met het DHOC blok te nemen :)

Thank you. My relation with BMW is very much like yours. I'm really a Honda guy. But... in November last year I traded in my old ST1100 for a R1150RT. I had to find out what the better touring bike was for me. To me, and I hate to write this, it is the RT. Weather protection is second to none, stability is great (much better than the ST1100). Of course the boxer is no match for the V4 of the ST and the gearbox is very precise yet clunky. Early this year I bought a CBR 600 FSport. Great fun bike, far too fast for me. An opportunity came up to trade in the CBR for a 1150GS. I had promised myself to never ever purchase a GS, they are so f... ugly. However, I did buy this 2003 GS and now the RT is up for sale. I prefer the GS and I now understand why these bikes are so popular. OK, there is almost no weather protection but, to me, that is the only drawback when comparing the GS with the RT. To me it feels like BMW put more effort in designing the GS than they did with the RT. The GS is a near perfect commuter and is also fine on longer road trips. And for real fun there still is a 4th gen VFR in the shed. I love these VFRs more than any other bike.

I totally agree about the prices and the various problems you will encounter. The costs are enormous. For example the fuel pomp of my 1200RT was quite allright after 48000 km, but a plastic hose of the pump broke off. I had to buy a new one a 450 euro. The abs 3 system of my R1150RT failed in France. The remaining breakpower was about 10 % and I drove it 400 km home at night to avoid braking. Repair would cost 1200 euro, a new system 2750 euro. Quite ridiculous. I removed the abs and sold the thing instantly. Still I had almost every type of BMW. When its riding, a BMW is the best bike in the world. The wind protection of every RT is quite perfect and I love the boxer concept. As told in the video, a Japanese od even English bike wil be by far more reliable and less expensive to purchase and repair. BMW really makes you love and hate the bike. The most reliable is the name, not the bike itself.

This is undoubtedly the best ST review...and I've seen them all by now. Informative, interesting, completely comfortable extemporaneous conversation, as if you're just talking to your best friend. Kudos! Amsterdam is a lovely place and your riding is top notch. Great video.

My 1993 ST1100 is still competing.

dit jaar overgestapt van een R1150RT naar deze R1200RT '12. zonder veel toetertjes en belletjes, maar wat een heerlijke fiets vindt ik en rijdt super makkelijk. Ook heeeeel erg blij mee. Leuke informatieve video by the way

Never heard you mention about the Goldwing though.....

Puedes dar un ejemplo de dónde y como es la bobina de encendido de una motoneta scoter Aprilia scarabeo 500cc2007

I love your teaching I really love your teaching❤

That is the most beautiful and simple explanation about motorcycle electric systems ..😂😂🎉😢😮😅

Funny to say the least... I owned a 2006 R1200RT (new) and sold it 4 years later, with 123.000km done with zero problems, yes zero! Maybe because it was always properly served on time at official dealerships bmw, definitely the best by far of the many bikes I've owned before, including japanese, italian, english, etc, and the worse of all... american! I currently own a 2023 R1250RT with 9.000km now, zero issues so far but of course a bit early to take conclusions... just hoping for the same reliability I had so far riding bmw's.

Before you buy a Neotec 3 check the availability of parts. Can't find a Pinlock insert without buying a visor for £85, and guess what, the Neotec 2 inserts won't fit!!

watching this video while my st1300 is in bits trying to diagnose an electrical fault... somehow prefer the st1100! only problem is they're super old so need more care and maintenance, but still extremely reliable unless neglected. the st1100 seems like a more raw st1300, and I like that 😁

I am restoring a 1994 Kawasaki 250 Eliminator. Where do the wires from the stator go to, and does this bike use both a CDI and a Voltage Rectifier?

You can buy a 2023 or 2024 FJR today. Still make and sell them.

Thanx for a great video 👍 A question - where do you order parts for a virago?

Great work. Great information for any motor biker. Thank you for this valuable knowledge.

Funny it was a bit of a fiddle but I fitted my Cardo 4x comms to my neotec 3 along with the pin loc with no prob I think I had to make a little cut in the plastic surround to allow connections from the cardo unit to fit into phone, mike cables

lots of love! but too much black on black on black 😉

Muito bom trabalho

Love my ST❤

I've owned the same model as this for 5 years, I ride it all year and do my own maintenance, other than normal service items, the only issues I've had was left hand switch gear failure, the switches use a flexible circuit board and it cracks and the switches stop working, also not cheap to buy and new pistons in the rear calliper, not too bad and probably due to salt and water after years of winter riding. The engine is ok, but runs out of puff at top end, (I test rode a 1250RT and that has the grunt all the way to the top end) but has the torque to overtake at normal road speeds. I love the handling, its surprisingly good on the back roads, but will eat motorway miles. As you said maintenance is easy, I love the fact that you need one size Torx key to remove all the body work and once done its all easy to get to, very different from my VFR800, which had various screws and clips to get parts of the bodywork off or my friends ST1300 which is a lovely bike, but its also had its issues, with the electric screen adjustment failing, which seems to be a known problem and the clutch slave cylinder needing replacing, a job which the Honda dealer says is engine out, but he managed to do it without going that far.

Leuke review! Ik zit er zelf ook aan te denken, twijfel alleen tussen een 2019 model (is iets goedkoper) of een euro 5 model (2021/2022 of later). Vraag me af of de meerprijs het waard is, de euro 5 heeft bijvoorbeeld tubeless wielen en een betere versnellingsindicator.

Where do you get that special tool ?

I have the 2013 model with only 31k and it's very different from the ST1100/1300 I had before. The 4 cylinders are more smooth but apart that the RT is hands down better in any way. 50kg lighter, lower center of gravity, more torque, better handling, better comfort, better protection. no heat burning your leg even in hot summer (very important point for me) much much faster in the twisty roads of swiss Alps (you have to force to keep the curves with ST the RT turn by herself and you can break later and stronger less weight). No reliability issue for the moment and I made all services by myself very esay to work. Honda is very reliable I had 5 Honda before despite I had ABS failure with the ST1100

Very enlightening video, I think you have hit the nail on the head in that it does n't have to be the latest and greatest bike to satisfy what motorcyclists want, i.e. reliability, comfort, practicality, and good build quality - as you say the Japanese do it well!!!. I have recently found a 2006 ST1300P -A, ex-police bike with only 12,000klms on it, so I am going to join the club and buy it. As a motorcyclist for the last 55 years I love bikes and I think the "low" tech ST1300 is perfect, won't ask me too many questions. Love the V4, great grunt, and super smooth, and bullet proof it you take care of it. I have a daily commuter, Honda Integra DCT, great little bike and I will keep it for the daily commute but any longer journeys will see the ST1300 get to stretch it's legs. Thank you again and please keep the videos coming Chiefpep.

Why do you prefere your bike to do those dangerous nosedives on breaking? If you had a R1200 GS before it has the same telelever suspension right? Soes it behave differently? I'm currently I'm looking for BMW's exactly because of this feature. Is it bad a bad feature?

Nice 👍

One thing I notis, the middle drive is allredy in in the case, didn't you take it apart to check it out? I'm having a clicking sound in mine '89 1100 and seems that no one has heard about that kind of failer. By the way, thank's for very interesting and informed video, has helped me alot.

Hello. Would you be able to help me with my eletric bike? I need help to know wich wires belong to each thing and connect new switch controller
