Video: 3km wheelie on a BMW R1200GS AdventureWhile it may be hard to believe that someone can lift the front end of a fully loaded BMW R1200GS and keep the bike steady for enough distance to call the achievement a wheelie, this video simply blows away all expectations. It shows a very skilled rider performing a 3km wheelie during the 2.26 minutes video on the Beemer in South Africa. Looking at it, you’re not too far off if suspecting this guy can go like this forever and ever as long as there’s no traffic and the road is nice and straight. It is things like this that spice up one’s journeys and we really like to see people taking bikes beyond what they thing the limits are.
