this bike is so light and nimble and fuel efficient and comfortable. i love this bike. it doesn't have a ton of power, and obviously it's not meant for that, but what it lacks in power it makes up for it with everything else!
cool video I am thinking about getting this bike for a commuter. I was also looking at the CB650r, which has lots of power but, my ride to work is back roads top speed 50 MPH. So I am thinking this may be more fun winding out the gears.
Yeah its got a fun amount of torque at those speeds, especially if you're mainly commuting. Only time I feel like I could do with a little bit extra power is when I'm trying to overtake somebody quickly, but not very often. Definetly test ride both I would say :)
Getting much better mate. How did you record the audio? I'm attempting my first ever LIVE motorcycle ride tonight. Probably start in another hour or so...be great if you could join!
Man I'm sorry my phone didn't notify me of this comment. Thanks though, I put a røde video mic, connected to my phone, in the tail compartment :) im pretty happy with it, not perfect but a lot better for sure. Will you be live streaming again? Id be happy to join next time!
Nice ride
White van at 1.52 is a good example of why to stay away from the centre line!
Absolutely!

Smooth shifting, downshifting and riding.
No idiotic speeding and stunts. 👏👌🏼🤙🏼👍🏼
oh he's definitely speeding, catching up to those cars awfully quick!
Cuz it's a small 500 lol
What a great advert for an excellent bike. Weldone mate. All is calm
Much appreciated. I will have to do more of these calmer rides - it's an excellent bike for this, thanks again.
Nice to see a sensible rider
Alot of folk say these are slow but 0-60 4.7 seconds come on i would have one and i am 65 years old, beats using the Bus Pass 😂
Audio sounds bloody great, I need to sort my crap audio out 😬

nice ride video. the bridge at 0:58 looked so familiar to me... last time i've been there was 1998... (yeah... i'm middle aged now)
wow that's quite a while, glad you could reminisce! :D

Thats some stunning country
Wish your camera was just a bit higher (I know it's an audio test but figured would mention). Good deal on audio improvements for sure.
Agreed, I usually rely on superview so I don't have to worry too much about the position of my cam but my camera won't do 4k super unfortunately.
Is it a 3th party exhaust or is it stock?
