Ok, that brings back memories! Was riding my 2015 F800GSA off road, crossing a very cold, fairly swift creek about 8' wide, and about 3' deep. I hit a boulder and in slow motion i went down. Try as i could, I could not raise it against the swift creek. Im 200 lbs, 6'0, have been riding over 40 years, never had problems, but the swift cold creek there was no way i could lift it. Fortunatly my son was with me, saw what happened and came back and saved my ass! My point, lifting it on a grass field is one thing, lifting it with the elements against you is another!

...you guys are so fun, appreciate the banter as well as the result & presentation!

Love the show! Definitely love the topic! Keep them coming, gents.

These guys' commentaries and accents are so funny. Also helpful scenarios that other reviewers have not covered. Cheers, Lads!

I liked the simplicity of the video. Entertaining and informative at the same time. :)

The three of you are a great team!

Awesome! Love the 310GS!

SUPAA FUN WATCHING YOU GUYS.

You guys are a hoot,thks.

Your comments are wonderful ! The BMW 310GS is for the masses and only a handful of really worthy people would actually buy the cheesiest AVD bikes with all the equipments and electronics, till then 310GS wins !

Just love your channel !! You guys rock !

Fun stuff! The absolute truth is after about the 5th time I dropped my old Vstrom when off road by myself, I quickly decided a much LIGHTER bike was the way to go! After a set of Kenda 784 big block tires, SW Motech crash guard and skid plate, Hepco pannier racks, Pelican 1500 series side cases, Moose Racing windscreen, BMW accessories top case, and more to come, I am pleased to say that the G310GS in my opinion is one SUPERB do everything - go everywhere bike.

:-D If KTM buids a 390 ADV bike, it will take that segment by storm! But look out...……..I can see Kawi putting the Ninja's new 400 powerplant into the X300 changing the model to a X400. Also, for many years Honda has been building the CB500X, and with the Rally Raid stuff on it, it is a real performer!

These guys are hilarious, I love it.

As always a great video. You do realize that if the BMW website can be believed, the F800GSA is only 12 k lighter than the R1200GS. Just sayin...

Nice video! Although not is not fair that the F800GS is the Adventure version, bigger than the regular!

Congrats good show , saludos desde Colombia

Nice vid sold my bmw gs after 12300 and bort a tiger love it smother nice gear box ..

Nice Ken Dodd impression :)

Good explanation and comparison guys. I'm so interested in new GS310

Seeing u pick up the larger ones reminds me of the possibility of a bike as such w a sidecar - esp for carrying more cargo gas etc

Best test ever😄

LOLVery entertaining and informative. ;-)

Are these guys the camera crew filling in for the real presenters? Jesus wept, this is woeful.

Having only ridden and owned the DL1000XT, I think something in the 650-850cc range with a twin or triple is the most ideal ADV bikes that can do the dirt really well (21" front wheels, provided). But generally weight is the enemy, the enemy of handling, enemy of comfort, enemy of distance, enemy of picking up a downed bike, enemy of efficiency. There is one aspect that weight is one's friend: high speed traveling on pavement. That's about it.

You need to ride a 1200GS. It will change your mind and that's not me exaggerating or pushing a bike I own. I don't even own one. I sell Suzuki, Ducati, BMW, and Yamaha (HA!🙄) when it comes to Adventure bikes. I own a Multistrada. Given, it's not an Enduro, there's no way the DL, Tenere, or Multi can do what the GS is capable of. The recent switch to the 1250 Shiftcam firmly locks the BMW, again, in the top spot with everybody else looking at each other going WTF!?!?😱🤯

I've got a Honda XL250 degree. Little bike that goes anywhere and still good for 120kmh. Cant imagine what I'd replace it with....

Waiting for 310 gs in India. I do also think that these big bikes are bit of an overkill. Great video guys love from India. Waiting for your review of new Africa twin and its comparison with tiger and 1200GsA rellye.

big brakes have saved me more times than i can count.

I think if you try the SWM SuperDual you will arrive more or less with the same results as you obtained to the G310 GS, in therms of easy of use, height and other benefits to Adventure purposes...even if the SWM is a 600cc

Ironically I really did have a heart attack lifting my Goldwing. 18 months and 9 stints later I'm looking at maybe going for a small adventure bike like the GS 310 or Versys 300.

Grab a 650 gs nice and light and rides beautifully

The gs310 is such a nice litle bike!

"a hippo" 10/10 burn lmao

“Oh look a victory”

You don’t literally pick it up, you simply back into and it comes up with you. You turn your back to the bike, grab the handle bars and rear grab handles then you squat down put your bum against the seat and step backwards your pressing against the seat picks the bike up. It’s much easier than literally picking it up.

awesome video that everyone should watch before buying your monster 1000cc adventure bike. Take a good look at how and where you will ride. Think your an awesome rider, load up that big bike with gear and get into a crappy spot and then try to pick it up. These guys have no gear and are in the best possible situations. It shows we need more avialable small and mid size adventure bikes for the real dirt goers.

F800 is the first attempt at downsizing the GS? What about the F650? F700? ....

very nice video, very entertaining and informative, but what´s this very bad technique picking up the bikes ... I thought you guys should know how to do this prorperly

I rode a G310S a few weeks ago when my 1200 GS was in for a service. Compared to the Duke 390 which is the only other bike of similar size and spec I've ridden to the 310, I honestly thought it was a poor effort. It vibrated like anything if you went more than 60mph, there was no room on it, the suspension was rubbish and I think BMW took inspiration from Speedway bikes for the brakes. Sorry, not for me! The 1200 on the other hand, I think is immense and is far and away the best bike I've ever owned and ridden. Anyone who thinks otherwise ought to have a go on one.

Basically it is not a nice BMW, but an excellent TVS (company that makes it for BMW). I still would consider one as they do look fun, just not for distances like the 1200.

I have the 310 GS, and it's a blast to ride on backroads but not on the Freeway. It'll do 90 all out but it's really buzzing over 60 mph. I bought it to return to riding after 30 years but I'm moving up to do any traveling

Quite fun! But sometimes it not the size of the bike.. its more on the fitness of the rider.

I would have thought a normal f800gs would have been a little easier in the test. Not the heavier taller gsa!

How tall is the that guy the one whos drinking redbull?

Mine has been in the shop for over 3 weeks. Brake recall, leaking fork oil and bad transmission. Only 750 miles on her and no off- roading. Very disappointing to see these problems in a new bike and BMW is taking so long to fix them.

310 built for emerging markets not the eurpran ones..this bike need many essential $ mods to be a real GS..and is it worth?!its excellent town machine but out its not up what coming a head..

Wrong, BMW’s first go at making a smaller GS was the F650 GS, also the original R80GS was only 186 kg ( not a lot heavier than the 310!)

Poor demostration of how to lift an adv bike haha only have to walk.. but the show is funny and well done, so cheers guys!

you heard it now lets all ring bmw and order 1 for every member of the family tell us the price son tell us the price.

The idea of 500+ lbs bikes as adventure is laughable. Dirtbikes are small and light for a reason. Just wish they could make.a.small adv bike with some actual power

Just one word "funny"

What the hell was the point of that? Title = cheap click bait.
