Anyone stunt a GS

[Deano]

Is there anyone out there who stunt ridesa GS? I have been watching a fella called Christan Pfeiffer that stunts a F800.

When it was first launched I seem to remember someone stunting on one as publicity. Possibly the same guy who is now on the F800.

These stunts seem to be able to be done on any bike by those that are able to perform them. The rest of us just look on in bemused fascination (or not)

Saw this guy at Bealieu last year and he is unbelievable. He was doing the most incredible and different things on a little Gas gas, an F650 then moved up to a 1200GS.

Just to round things off, he took an LT across the car park on it`s top-box...!

I get a little bored with stunt guys normally but this guy is something else.!

Christian Pfieffer just stopped here in Taiwan on the Asian leg of the Red Bull / BMW tour last weekend... He was good... damn good... that kind of skill and control doesn't come without hundreds and hundreds of hours practice and an uncanny sense of balance... I'd be willing to put in the time if BMW were picking up the repair bills! :wink:

how'd they do that?

do these guy's abuse the clutch to get the bike up? or open the throttle real fast?

my 1200GSA feels like all the weights at the front (though they measure about 50/50, according to what i've read). I've wheelied a ZX-6R and Falco, but the beemer seems impossible to me! maybe just as well - i couldn't bear the plastic and metal scraping noises.....

This'll be the 12GS you were talking about at Bealieu... must say that was a pretty awsome show he put on...

.. but obviously not as impressive as us lot riding the 'road of cones' with Charley Boreman earlier that day...

I'm told that every bike has it's 'sweet spot' the ideal revs at witch the bike will lift it's front wheel if you want it too

Apparently you don't need to abuse the clutch, just get the bike running at it's correct rev range and then as you whipp the throttle open, help it up with a tug on the bars, and whehey it's up and up and over the back and on the floor Oops. Well thats what happened when I had a go back when I werr a lad.

The F800S that Pfieffer rides is bog standard other than a larger rear "cog" for the drive belt to lower the ratio, a fueling remap for smoother engine braking, and a wheelie bar on the tail... or so he says anyway...

That I can understand... huge rear cog/sprocket = very easy to lift the front even at low speed... all stunters do this mod... with a shaft driven GS though???...

suffice to say I'm sure you can wheelie/stoppie the GS just fine if you're a seasoned stunter, but I wouldn't think the GS is the ideal bike to learn on by a long shot...
