Bob is a good name as it sounds just as good if you say it backwards by mistake. 👍🏻

I brought my Suzuki around 3 months ago and have also clocked up 3000 miles. I've fitted a taller screen and bar risers and I'm very happy with the bike. A keeper!

[@MarkN67]

That’s a nice looking bike, I really like the exhaust, makes a nice change to see something that doesn’t look like a dustbin stuck to the side. It’s also good to see a sports tourer 👍

[@hermitmonk52]

Fabulous! I bet you whizzed past me on the NYM. My brand new Speed Twin 900 broke down twice under 800 miles. That and the poor RAC performance has made me suddenly very interested in modern bikes. Does your universal recommendation extend to old geezers of limited ability? I think I might have a wobble over to York to look at one. Have a good weekend!

[@GlynOC]

It's a very handsome bike

[@henrysmith5604]

Blimey well done to clock up that mileage Ive only managed to get less than 30 miles so far on my 8R but I’ve been busy plus running in my Guerilla 450
Interesting info on your 8R I hadn’t thought of putting a topbox on mine I have fitted a rad grill fender extender and a rear seat cowl HS

Looks great and Japanese reliability..."Clear the way"...one of my buddies years back had a second hand police fairing and hidden siren on his /6 Bimmer, talk about clear the way haha😊😊 Thanks TAYM.

[@bemo6625]

i was just looking/thinking about this as my next bike and bam you pop a video :) #mindreader?? :D

[@Trevster65]

Great video and great bike, I think Suzuki have nailed the 800 series, I have 8s so little biased but makes me want to ride. What heated gloves are you wearing, looking to get some myself…?

[@iantownsend17]

Lovely bike. Part of me wonders if I had waited another 4 weeks for its release, would I have still brought the T100? I purposely haven't gone to see one in the flesh yet! I'm picking I would have still gone for the T100, but it is one of those what-if questions for me 😆 🤣 😂

[@crumblymal8479]

A nice looking Suzuki TAYM I reckon having the full fairing on makes them look a lot better as from what I remember they didn't have on the earlier ones or maybe they still do them like that not sure on that one .Curious🤔 to no TAYM do you use a single policy for all the bikes with a measured amount of mileage on each bike ? Nice 😉👌👍

[@RobLittleuk]

Morning ! Do you have the SW MOTECH panniers that use the unobtrusive rail? I have them! All the best from BOB - yes some people know me as that!!

[@billellis6538]

Lucky I sold Bob the Bullet, or there could have been two bob at a bike night 🤣

[@MRo55i74]

Hi TAYM how are you finding the panniers you fitted as I’m thinking of getting some for my trident? I really like how there is hardly any fittings showing for them once you take them off.

[@acmdv]

You appear to live in "Round-about City" lol...

[@daviddavies5347]

Bob! 🙄Reminds me of my ex boss, err Bob!. He inherited a dog, ‘Bob’, from his father in law. He and his father in law didn’t get on, which is why he called it Bob! 🤣🤣🤣

[@henrysmith5604]

Oh I forgot I have bought a tank bag ring so I can fit my Givi tank bag from my Honda Hornet CB750 which I’m going to sell HS

[@orionswitness]

Hi just a bit of advice loud bass on a UA-cam vlog is a turn off , lots of people use headphones , it’s irritating .😊

[@ruahinesrider]

Love that blue colour.

[@daintree2455]

Blue is the best...then there is orange,yellow, grey,green,black etc etc. I love them all😊

[@daviddavies5347]

👏👏👏👏

[@waynecameron4911]

How wet and dirty do you get with that absolutely useless rear mudguard? It's a great looking bike otherwise
