Love motorbikes but height limitations mean you can't ride them all? If thats you, then welcome to the club! (along with Tom Cruise as far as I'm aware!).
I decided to set up this channel to cover bikes that the shorter, and beginner riders can handle without resorting to mopeds!

Starting an old Westfield in -6c - Flight Of The Phoenix
Starting an old Westfield in -6c is a pretty delicate operation, reminds me of the of the 1965 movie "Flight of the Phoenix"

Unfortunately the exhaust supplied with MV Agusta F3 is too loud, and has an advisory on its MOT. So I've booked it in for a change to a new one which meets the noise standards.

Cracking review - Would someone at 6ft be too big for this?
I think you took off in second gear 😊
What happened to the ducati supersport?? 😢 why would you say is the reason people don’t keep them for more than 2 years but everyone praises them as great.
Why did you sell it??? Everyone speaks wonders but i see so many with ultra low mileage pop up on dealers. 😢 it is the only question stopping me from getting into one.
Dude : I wanted this bike for years. I'm gonna go buy it. Because it's orange. Also same dude : I thought it was 800cc but it's near 12, what a surprise 🤦 I don't know how much of this is you being sarcastic but I dont believe you didn't know what engine this machine had. C'mon now.
Mode slow, slower and stop zzzzzzzzz
8:11 go faster and it will cool down bru 🚴
So you get to ride your dream bike? And then drove at the speed limit
Great vid thankyou for pricing, as in process of purchasing same machine in the red 😊
Hey buddy, you told everyone that you got a new bike and that you don't have a clue how to fix it. Please don't ever post again.
Do remember. It as a quick shifter and auto blipper built in.
To be fair to you, after two weeks of riding it your balls would of finally dropped out of your mouth for you to ride it harder. Although you would be better with a 600 supersport as you really have to wind them up to get any performance out of them so they dont really take you by surprise.
The ducati is super good fit. Im 6'1 250lbs and the ducati fit like a glove. However it looks boring AF to me. I tried the aprilia and its great too with more character. I dont want to show my age 😅
I own both, Ducati, is a higher premium bike, comfort, looks and sound. You cant compare those two. The 660 is not on the same level as the Ducati SS
805mm seat height... In the lower position. The sub frame has two different mounting points offering a seat height of 805mm or 825mm. The handlebars and rearsets are also adjustable.
Stumbled on the Supersport S video. I like the real world experience videos and thoughts. Thank you. Hoping to get my old ass in the saddle of an S someday.
I've never had a bike with a gear indicator. I don't get why you would need one. If the bike is reving it's tits off then it's time to change gear 😆
😁 What scares me is watching you drive on the wrong side of the road
Ride the bike not the clutch.....
Hahaha my thoughts too
If I didn't already go mt03 I love this one so much. Dude rode by on one and there's just a nod in there on who's better! The gold and white is dank.
One day when I was thinking I was stuck in the cage, couldn't reasonably ride my mt03, homeboy rides up on one of these in the rain and I couldn't help but kick myself for not having a buddy that day. What a beautiful bike. I love it. But not more than my mt03 with the teal rims! 🐢🔥🐢🔥😎
Congratulations! I am considering moving up from a 2011 CBR250R for a few reasons: I think the R3 is quieter (it’s a twin vs a single); it’s faster (2 seconds faster 0 - 60 to merge onto highways more safely); it has ABS in case of an emergency stop to avoid rear wheel lock up; and… it’s drop dead gorgeous! I have a question: How do you find the wind around your helmet? I am hoping to reduce wind noise too. I have an Arai helmet and am 5’5” tall. Love the R3 60th Anniversary Edition. Looks like fun!
That flick is wha happens to my I-pad it’s not the Tom Tom it’s the satellite and it will get worse because of ozone layer
Are you blocking the receiver on the TomTom with your finger?
The problem is with the satellites , my I-pad sometimes has a fit and it’s usually not my device but the satellite in space
ignorance is bliss. Sorry.
looks great! and here in Canada its 6.5k! heck! that's a great price for a fun weekend motorcycle!
loooove the livery! and a great motorcycle!!
The most negative review of the CE-04 I've seen - some people just don't like change.
My TomTom Rider 550 has developed exactly the same fault. The only solution to this annoying problem I have found is to press the annoying screen against the holder while riding. Any problem-solving ideas will be appreciated.
Thinking of picking one up I just sold my R1 looking at this bike I no everyone saying it's uncomfy Im wondering if someone my size would be ok on it I am 5.8 I sold the R1 as I could barely touch the ground I no the seat level is 2cm shorter than the R1 I had how long do you need your arms on this bike sorry for the silly question just want to see what the riding positions like
I had the same gloves bmw Gs!! Very comfortable gloves
R3 is my favorite bike Is this available for sale...
Boa noite a todos, acabei de comprar a minha hoje, 0km, estou feliz e um pouco ansioso para pilotar!
it could relate to an impedance issue triggered by a self-resetting fuse mounted onto the platine of the mount - it has nothing to do with any weather related impacts on the device; take the electrically powered mount to an electronical expert to bridge that fuse. That's presumably all.
Is 6'2 too tall for this bike?
"Why am I testing this? " My thoughts exactly 😂
Good vid thank you Do you know where I can find a live switch wire as I am trying to fit usb socket ?? Cheers
remind me not to buy that one seeing as you have just rode that cluch
Mine also stopped working when out of warranty after not having much use
You may use different tyres as long as your sync the tyres to the control unit as stated in there owners manual. apart from this a good video.
Is this 300cc or 600?
Just watched and enjoyed your video, two main reasons it suited me, I collect my new 310gs tomorow and your almost passed my house on your way to the speedshop as it an area I now really well being a local. looking forward to more of your videos.
So that is almost 350€ for the absolute cheapest service that Ducati has that is the same their yearly or their 9000 miles service (whichever comes first) The more expensive service also called the "Desmo Service" when they check the valves among other things is at 18 000 miles, many people do this service after 2 years of riding, now that service is the expensive one I have heard anywhere from 1000€ to 1500€ (881£ to 1322£). That is about double the cost of a comparable japanese bike. That combined with Ducati being less reliable than for example japanese bikes are the reason I have avoided them so far even though I like how they ride and look. I could never take a new or used Ducati for a long trip around Europe without worrying and since I can only own one bike at a time, I stay away from them. I think to own a bike like this and just smile while taking it to service several times in a short period is not very common :D
The funny thing is, a few years ago I bought the Alfa Romeo 4C and found the other channel of yours featuring the 4C while waiting for delivery. And now - I bought the Ducati SuperSport S and an MV Agusta (although it’s the Superveloce) last year after 15-year break from riding, and just found this channel!! I almost feel like I found my petrol twin on the other side of the globe!! Your taste for vehicles is great❤
The only way a dealer makes his money is from the services
I sat on a r3 and r7 yesterday and was on top toes on the r3 ! R7 felt heavy and I couldn’t reach the floor
You will never regret! the more you raid the more you'll love it. It's addictive!
I want to go Uk next sumer with mi bike, and I am looking videos to learn well the traffic "protocol" in uk
OMG! I will never accept such a ripoff! Oil change and chain adjustment - If you ride a motorcycle you should do that yourself. It is part of enjoying your machine! Firmware updates?! What is it?! A phone?! Simply not for me!
Significant firmware upgrades? Lol. If they were significant, a recall would be issued or your bike would have problems. You are Ducati’s favorite demographic - willing to spend money for little in return.
oh my litter bike for a start ?
