I was lucky and with a few friends, we started with a journey to explore northern Vietnam by motorbike. It must be said that Vietnam is beautiful everywhere, Vietnamese people are very hospitable, but to explore and experience by motorbike, the north is the ideal land. Famous for its picturesque natural scenery, peaceful villages and gentle, rustic and hospitable people, the Northern mountains will captivate you when you come to explore this magical land. 🥰

Good Job. No longer consume a lot of money for damn Givi bag

Thank you for the video. I subscribed. My brother and i plan to ride the South Dakota BRDX next year. Have you rode any of that?

Motorcycle stuff is ridiculously priced. I just got a 24 Honda Africa twin sport dct es. They want 500 per aluminum pannier. Hell to the no.

Finally someone else's sees these bike boxes are insane money for something you can buy from a hardware shop.

Warren report, Vonnegut.. You're the last of the good guys, back when the world hadn't yet gone completely mad. Looks great. Happy trails!

Great stuff, I love the motorbikes and the nonsense. You're a riot.

After 2 years still an awesome video thank you

and now u cant remove it

used to do 450mile hits two up with panniers on a zzr250. didnt care

The biggest motivation for me to ride a big bike is just how long the engines last, since they'll always be on low rpms. Pretty much twice as much as a smaller cc

Very simple, great idea

Love this video. I have a cruiser..14 Dyna Low. I keep thinking I need something bigger to tour. Then I come across videos like this and realize what I have is just fine.. Thank you for putting this video together.

nice

Thanks!

I have a 2021 750GS and was told that I could use the quick shifter both up and down. Down shifting the throttle needs to be all the way down and upshifting is best with full throttle. You can also have the suspension on road and gas respons on dynamic. I am almost 78 still riding and will do so as long as it is fun. I hope you have many great trips on your bike.🙂

My box is way bigger by a factor of 4x. Hauls all my groceries in one trip every couple of weeks.

rediculous comparison. Should be versys 650 vs 750gs

Very good set up .... the same thand I do with my r1200gs. And now I m gonna do again this with the new bike ktm 790 adv.

Wow great job, i was trying to figure out how to carry on my small tool box on my bike, very inspiring.

I used these for the paniers on my KLR with tusk rack, have dropped it numerus times , they don't brake.

Video is very applicable to my situation I like the video and your style. But can we just say that cat playhouse is off the hook. Seriously what brand is that. My cats would go nuts with it.

buena idea,, muy practico y economico

300-500ccm Is all i need

What about if fall down..not broken?! 🔩 Bolt?!

That’s a good idea! I’m watching this from the uk, where everything costs the earth. I’m always looking for bike stuff and clothing that is affordable, so liked this. I also enjoy your humour. Happy riding and thanks for the inspiration 👍

You just wait untill the Bema starts to let you down and then see how you feel ? In my humble opinion having riden for over 50 years and had a few Bemas they are very very overated and a complete rip off when it comes to parts etc So good luck and I hope you dont need it !! "luck that is"

This keeps me thinking!

Im 60yo new rider and I have Versys 300x. Great little bike I've put 2k miles in 6 months. I'm looking to upgrade because I'm interested in longer touring trips on highway. Where I live people drive 70 to 80 on highway and the Versys can do it but it's buzzy and I get a slight vibration in handle bars and pegs that eventually leads to numbness. It's an absolutely great back roads bike and is most comfortable around 40 to 60. My riding skills have progressed pretty quickly and I do practice and feel more confident to handle a bigger bike. Looking at all the mid size adventure bikes.

I started riding in the mid-seventies when a Honda 350 was considered a mid-sized bike....spent a lot of time bombing around on a 175 Yamaha 2-stroke Enduro. Rode to Sturgis on a Suzuki 550 GT 2 stroke. Taking off tomorrow for a 1,500 mile ride on my Vespa Primavera150, 167cc. Since my wife can't get off work, the Electriglide will be sitting in the garage. Did a 1,000 mile trip a month ago with my daughter on her scooter. It's more about the will than the way.

You have exactly my kind of humor, I find you hilarious!? 🙏🤷🏼‍♂️😂💪🏼

I don't trust that crazy road automation stuff. Too much to go wrong. German over-enginerring at it's finest. I've got 2 Mercedes Benz and they're 20 & 23 years old respectively. Solid & not too complex. For cycles, I just scored an 08 V-Strom 650, immaculate garage kept @'13k miles. $3650 What sense is there in buying new, when theyres Garage Queens aplenty ?

Very good. Probably quick release for removal is one enhancement to consider implementing. Any thoughts ?

Here is Europe there are some very cheap top boxes mine was $70 for a 56L one with lock and mounting plate. Just search for Topcase Rollerkoffer - 56 L =)

I read “Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” when it was first published, and like the author, I bought a Honda 305, and toured on it in the mid 1970’s. Mind you, the National speed limit was 55 at that time, and had no problems keeping up on interstates, but mostly stayed on B roads. The past 20 years have been doing combo road/light off road exploring on a KLR650. Just bought an XR150, and plan to do some back road exploration in Montana. I’m not a fan of windshields or full face helmets, as I feel they detract from the true experience of riding. Most important thing is to just ride what works for you.

Hermoso trabajo. Ojala pudiera tener algo asi. Saludos desde Argentina eres bienvenido Argentina

Thanks for the video. I just bought the Apache 2800 for my KLR 650 S. I’m attempting install tomorrow.

great video man!

When those bolts a too long just double nut the end and use it for tie spots for bungees

I rode 3000 miles on a goldwing in 2020. I'm gonna ride 5000 miles on my csc rx3 250 in 2024.

Nice work , you can add metal bars and fix them on top or sides of the case to hang other stuff on the case like tent or folded chair or other camping stuff ,

Did an 1800 miles trip on CB500X a couple of years ago mostly on 2 lane roads in the hear of Colorado Rockies. Most fun I ever had

Very nice ride

Nice! I also wish for a smaller topcase (current is 50L) mainly for reduced wind resistance. Also would thought you as the guy with thr axe in the toocase :D Few tips: put rubber washers under it too, use loctite threadlock for nuts, maybe use a thin metal plate inside the box so it grabs the box better. Some big bumbs in the road at speed and the box will want to fly away disregarding the 6-8 fixing points.

For picking up your bike...the Eastbound Moto Wench is a big helper, and confidence maker. I bought a heavy Africa Twin in 2020, and by 2121 I was no longer able to pick it up (muscle weakness from Vaxx). I waited two years for Keith Products to get me a Dirt Napper, finally discovered the wench. $286 all in.

Thanks for the interesting insights. So the riding modes and cruise control are of limited value, and swapping bulbs to LED on the X300 is super easy .... so if you live in a country where high cruising speeds are impractical, the extra power of the BMW is of no value .... so save on the cash and weight and get an X300

Do you think it's possible to make side boxes or not?

I think you made a great choice. I bought a used 1200 GS that had been upgraded with almost everything I wanted, and it was cheaper than a new 750 or 800. I also agree that cruise control and heated grips are awesome. Ride safe and enjoy.

Thats awesome. Love how clear this was and that you were just a dude having a go and doing a great job.

Great video! I had a very similar experience. I started riding as a mid teen, but then only ride a very few times on friends bikes, less than 30 minutes each, until my mid 60s. Bought a 15 year old Kawasaki KLR 250 (yes 250). Rode it mostly off road and Jeep trails and some single tract & got comfortable on pretty rough mountain passes. Sold that bike for a Husaberg FE390 (incredible dirt bike, but had to do upgrades to get it street legal). Kept it but bought a Versys X300 and LOVE it - still have it - great commuter and also take it on some medium Jeep roads in the mountains of SW Colorado. GREAT around town but had the itch for more power and bought a Vstrom 650XT. I might be crazy, but I'm keeping all three, Husaberg (for serious off road), Versys X300 (for light offroad and 70 mpg commuter), and the Vstrom 650XT. Ride all three, depending on my mood, route, and destination. We've now ridden about 50% of the TransAmerica Trail (wester half, Oregon to NW Arkansas) most on the Husaberg, Moab, UT to Silverton, CO on the X300. YES, this little 300 IS, INDEED, a legitimate Adventure Bike! Ridden within its design parameters, not outrunning the suspension, being patient at 10,000 feet elevation and going steep hills with a head wind, etc. the little ADV bike will do it. (Deep sand on Mitas E07s is not recommended!) For long trips, very hard to beat a properly set up 650 - 850 ADV, bike. Long trips (several days) on the Husaberg seat is brutal, but doable, esp on rough terrain. And the X300 for things in between is not a bad choice. I might be the last one I would sell if need be, but the Vstrom is too good to lose also. Suggestion to all: no matter your age, if you can physically swing it, just get on and ride. Bite the bullet, go for broke, get training if you need it, get the RIGHT TIRES for the job, pack the panniers and GO. Consider going with a friend if you're 74 years old! This guy is a great example of starting our right and progressing as you gain experience. Thanks loads!!!
