    @johnrogers5825 Місяць тому

    Mate, what a great review. I haven't seen one bad review yet on that bike. My prediction, the competition will be lifting their game and bringing something similar out because their sales will drop dramatically. I feel you're spot on about Chinese stuff not holding value, but that's why they are cheap, because of cheaper quality materials in manufacture. The positive to that is averaging the price out, so $9k over say ten years is $900 per year. Bingo. Winner winner. Bonus is a couple grand back reselling. A big plus for this bike is long distance rides. This bike can do a thousand k's a day going by other reviews, where before, these distances were in the realm of much bigger bikes.

    So if it's an adventure bike then how come the adventure bikes are sitting on a trailer. The reason they come out with dual purpose tyres is so you can ride it on/off road. Knobbly tyres are for Enduro/ MX/Trail bikes not adventure bikes. You've probably found out that your knobbly tyres don't last on the road very long-most dual purpose tyres will last 10,000 km for a rear & probably double for the front.

  • @glennmorrissey2529
    @glennmorrissey2529 Місяць тому

    Hi Derek, when I google the weight of the TOUAREG it comes back @ 187kg, the MT 450 @ 175kg and a DR650 @ 162kg. Which is correct? Riding a CF 450 this Saturday, mate sells them here in Sydney, the only noise that is starting to pop up regarding the MT is wait time for spare parts so don't know if this is an issue. The eternal question, as an elderly novice do I buy a good DR with everything on it, around $8K to $10K or new MT 450? The MT has a couple of things to do, sump guard, barkbusters, bigger better footpegs, high guard kit which would add around $800 to the price taking it to over $10K with a $9,800 starting price. What do you think?

Been eyeing the ADV segment for a while, and nothing came up for a decent price and the features i wanted/was comfortable with. Love the looks of the T7, but skeptical about it being my first bike. This came up and reviewers love the 450 Ibex/MT! This was the most down to earth review ive seen of it, and greatly appreciate it. Trying to put a down payment on one at the local dealer soon. They said they should have them by Feb-March for the USA near me. Excellent review and just know you've completely sold me on this 450MT/IBEX! Thanks again!
