"Wheelies make people happy man" I'm 34 / always been riding bikes / never learned to wheelie until I got a GSA 1200 No one ever asked me to wheelie, now that I can, every person next to the road is asking me to wheelie. It's like you 'ride like you can' :D

Thanks for the video. Improving with my 1250gs.

Wheelies make me happy! 😊

great video mate.

Wow props mate! That's amazing Saludos 😁

Cuban so true, wheelies make people happy 👍

Awesome 👌

I took my 1250GS to the track and over countless narrow mountain roads but I have to admit: i am so scared it will just flip over if i try to wheelie it. Maybe after seeing you do it, i might give it a try.

The trick is to cover the rear brake! If it leans too far back just slightly tap the rear brake and it comes back down

I was thinking about hitting the Dynamic Pro mode and pulling some wheelies soon but thoughts of those times where I got it wrong and thought I destroyed the front forks on previous bikes haunt me. LOL. Solid vid bro.

Practice a little 2nd gear clutch up here and there until you get the feel for it and it start coming up a few inches. Then work on carrying that small wheelie longer and longer, before you know it you'll be wheelying 2nd into 3rd and more. This bike makes it effortless.

@@CubanRider Maybe I'll shoot some POV vid, give you the credit on techniques for real. Back when I rode lots of sport bikes I would just power wheelie everything, with this bike not so much.

Nice man

Seeing such a big bike on the back wheel looks odd...but cool.

I've seen my fair share of insane GS riders. For what it is it's an insanely good bike. But the XR is very similar in it's versatility but bit more up my alley lol

hi, nice video, but i am curious, is the gs motor ok for sustained wheelies in terms of where the oil pick up is positioned, is there any danger of oil starvation and engine damage?

somebody in the UK, find me a parking lot like that please. food on me :D

He's probably on road mode with traction control off. If you put it in Enduro, you can wheelie but it's harder as you will have less power

Did you clutch it up?

I have a R1200GS and 790 Duke ironically. The Duke feels like a toy compared to the GS, it's the reason I bought it and the reason why I love it so much. The GS is much faster in the twisties that it should be!

Watch the tach and listen to the motor. When you hear the revs jump and come back down, that means he's slipping the clutch. You can power up the R1250GS, but the GSA with a full tank has more weight over the front, which makes it a bit harder. Both bikes are easier to clutch up in 2nd like Cuban Rider is doing here.
