WELT Documentary amazing documentary

Welt piracy

I loved watching this episode. How about a KTM and/or Triumph documentary?! Pleeeaaaase?!

It's a good idea to show more of the MC. People or things who cares?

They’re the toughest of metal making

by lying?

Its crazy how much you get for £17000 some bicycles cost more!

Only a fool throws away $30K+ for a bike.

@@billadmond9450 That is why we are all different on this planet and thank God for that. It may cost you 30K, but mine was 22k out the door and I don't mind after owning it for one year. Super pleasure machine. Happy riding from the fool 😎......!!!!!!

@@alp3781 So did God pay the bill? LOL

Love this video too. I got home this evening after watching this video and looked at my R1200GS 2018 bought brand new for 23k € and I said f*** you BMW for selling me a such full of electronic problems bike! (crazy throttle problems, engine that goes in protection or that rev up without touching anything, esa that completly lose the pre-charge, quick-shifter that stops working after a while) So sad :(

@@billadmond9450 Yes Bill, my God, my bank account and I don't mind paying if the product is great and so far, I would do it again. Happy riding.....!!!!

@Joe Garfield cheers bro it really is something else that bike 👌🏻

Best looking BMW bike was the R100RS, the R80 RT was nice for touring, my 75 R90/S was fast and smooth but that swingarm needed some bracing, it cornered wobbly, unlike the MotoGuzzi 850 which was top heavy and like to fall into turns, my 750 Commando outcornered them both but was hard to kickstart with a combat engine. never understood the K series with the sewing machine engine, the later models had too much plastic, lost the simplicity of design except for the R80 G/S. Miss simpler bikes that didn't need specialized test equipment. Now I appreciate bikes from the sidelines. Body getting too old.

@@flukedogwalker3016 How old is to Old ? I am thinking the same thing... but damn I hate getting old! Me= 70's

@@davidfalgout7304 Some people compensate for the aching hip joints and sore back and shoulder pain by getting a trike so they don't have to swing a leg over while supporting the bike and getting a custom seat for the back and handlebars set at certain height to prevent numbness from pinched nerves in the neck, they also put in plenty of stops for the Walnut size bladder and participate in short parades. They don't pick up bikes off the ground and they don't kickstart anything but their ass. Other than that, they are as right as rain, unless they get some inner ear balance problems. The spirit is young but the rest is rusty.

Do you have a point? Who cares?

Did you actually say that? Narration mispronunciation of common parts show how unfamiliar he and the producers are with mechanical basics.

Welcome in Germany

Nice cars but pray to get 100k out of them without major expenses. Motos may be different.

Well, I hope like Hell they pass the diversity, affirmative action, and all round political correctness (that is US leftist dem's party) criteria necessary for acceptability.. Please let's make everyone happy, whether your tax dollars are at issue, or not..

und Konrad fits perfectly.

"INLINE"

Earlier on he spoke about fitting the conRADS.

The Gen 4s are still on dial up....zzzzz

I think they wanted to say Engine manufacturing Assembly Online like converbelt for moving engines.

Yep Harley are entering WSB next year with the new FatBoy

So funny

Are Harley's still made from recycled beer cans?

@@firebladex8586 Indian beer cans.

EBR 1190 were awesome bikes, just sayin.

Think that the germans do not use SS for their motorbike history wise, thats why RR...

@@SkateSpace2012 I see Germany despising their history. Good

Victor van Dyke that’s what she said

@@whitemailprivilege2830 ayyyooooo

myth

Bmw reliabilty is low actually

Quality of materials isn't what it used to be.

I test rode one when I took in my K1300S for service (new tyres, oil). I hit 120mph/200kph while merging onto a motorway. It was effortless. That bike cannot obey speed limits. During my 30m test ride I learned 2(maybe 3) things: 1. HOLYFUCKINSHIT & 2/3. I'd be under remand or the ground in a months time.

It’s translation errors here. Translating engineering German to English colloquialism is really difficult.

Japanese bikes are far superior in quality and reliability already!

Exactly😂😂

First bike? bad idea buddy, trust me im doing you a favor. you will drop it, possibly wreck it, and would feel too nervous your goona mess it up while learning your first year or two. save up yes, but save an extra 3k and get a used 400cc so start and learn.

@@DyingToLive12 In addition, don't laugh, putting in a bumnch of miles on bicycle can add tons of intuitive understanding. There is one giant difference though: the rider is heavier than the vehicle on bicycle, lighter on moto. Nonetheless, there's so much to learn from a bicycle. (Disclosure: I was a professional cyclist so there's where that bias comes from.)

As a BMW owner, I advise you to get a more sensible Japanese bike. You will not have a good owner experience with a BMW. They are overpriced and the quality is not up to par. You will undoubtedly spend too much for the bike, repairs and even insurance. Don't buy anything you cannot comfortably afford. If you are "working hard" to afford a BMW, you cannot afford it. You will not be able to maintain it properly due to the high cost of BMW parts, repairs and ownership. BMW does not make any "entry level" models. Most BMWs are either too heavy or too powerful for a new rider. Everybody wants to buy their dream bike for their first bike. The people who buy too much bike for their experience level end up getting seriously hurt or killed. Start with a smaller, lighter bike and work your way to bigger and more powerful bikes as your skill level and experience allows. Once you have had a few different bikes, (and hopefully you are making a decent living by then) this would be a better time in your life to buy a BMW motorcycle. Just like giving a car to a newly licensed driver, you are looking for trouble if you gave them an exotic car compared to a Honda Civic. As a driver becomes more experienced and mature, then it is a better idea to buy a supercar or sportscar.

Usually they tell you to quarantine and not leave your house unless you need to I have a gallon of orange juice brand new I will give it to you tomorrow you need plenty of vitamin C let me know if you need anything

The Analog Kid you should look at the Ferrari Factory...or Ducati’s!

Wouldn't be the first time Germans have made people do that!

@@dardobartoli LOL THAT'S SADDDDD

all the crap is inside their engines

@@kymcokadaver1688 Why

A break-in period is not required for 4-stroke engines

I thought they said tested to 140 kmh. That is mid range revs on this bike.

You bet!

I just thought the same thing

Yea BMW is an amazing machine......

Leave the drinking to the Harley guys...let them take a sip every time they have to say "I f**ked up again." They will not see the end of the day.

I did it every time he said s1000rr... On my 5th beer already.

@@christophresmerowski1824 Right, and that is why BMW is ranked dead last by Consumer Reports. Can not compete with Harley Davidson.

4 Conrad’s lol

The birthplace of my 2 bikes (1977 R100RS & R100/7) no longer exists, but was probably somewhere on that patch of land. ☺️

tbh for a price like that i'd buy japanese, much more reliable.

lol

Amazing story!

no, not as rich company

Who is not as rich a company?

@@afenijmeijer9027 bmw is rich, so thats why they can make/afford a factory like this

@@bazilewillems4625 Shame their bikes don't match up then.

Yeah I agree Harley is done and are there any others?? Indian doesn't count haha. Although I do like the FTR

I go out of my way not to buy anything made in the US

Believe it or not, bmw is mostly for old fellas, like harley. Japan is the king of 4 cylinders. in off road gs is the worst against yamaha, triumph, ktm, honda, etc, bmw naked is heavy. And all their motorcycles feel like touring ones... like a harley with tft screen

@@licenciadoleopoldocanoloza1144 I know a lot of so called old fellas, that would run your ass ragged.

@@licenciadoleopoldocanoloza1144 oh by the way, you didn’t name any 4 cylinders that are adventure bikes. Really KTM just about has the same BS reliability as the bmw.

Produced by Welt? Lotta wooden tools being used? Sticks for screwdrivers? Chassis being dragged around by cows? Stuff like that?

Important to now since the new S1000RR is showing manufacturing issues. BMW pushed the bike out before it was ready

Have you done the I of M on it??? I did it on a Gixer 1000K3 in 2008. That was insane (Mad Sunday) That's a long long way for you to travel if you are is Aus. but well worth it fot the TT fortnight. I am now 74 and a girlie.

I've worked on a few assembly lines. It's not that great, bud. Have you ever seen the movie, "Gung Ho"? You know the scene where the guys are eating, sleeping, and even urinating in a bottle, at/on the assembly line? Real life assembly lines are like that ALL THE TIME!

RakinBill , are you sure you want to do a repetitive task 8 hours a day, all week, month after month, year after year? It's not exactly fun. But it may be for you.

Well, you all should have bought Japanese bikes then.

Those electrics and ECU's are probably where money is saved. Construction is probably by China where they put items in to collect your personal data, without BMW even knowing it.

Funny I say the same thing after years of working on cars. Buy Japanese

@@zioo3117 or, it's made with planning death so customer to buy new model. Just death comes too fast. :))

It's also interesting how many hours this people work, same work over and over again. This must be hell, so quality depends on that

I thought it was because they know the UKposts generation doesn't have the attention span to listen to all three syllables of the word "connecting."
