      @@techandtorque94 in my experience I get roughly 5.3 Liters/100KM
      Full Fuel tank (95) costs around R260. Which full tank is about 10.7 Liters.
      Drives well in suburbs and highways. Can clock 120KM/h fairly well, but noticed I get a little uncomfortable when riding beyond 140 KM/h. So 120 KM/h seems like a good cruise mode for me. Seat is comfortable and I feel no tiredness from a long ride.
      Bike was heavy to maneuver at first, but after 3 months I have been riding it daily to work, it feels lighter and I honestly haven't been driving my car anymore ever since I got on the Honda VT750s. Excellent motorcycle

    Hi do you have saddle bags on your bike .if yes which brand I have the same bike.just curious it not easy I'm looking get bags for my bike.TY.

      This was one of the most pain in the ass issues I had with the bike. Long story short I went with cheap ABS 12L hard cases. Similar to what you can find on ebay or amazon. The brand is Custom Access model AMZ004N, so yeah... These came with a universal install kit which required some additional tinkering to make it stick. Expect an extremely tight fit between the rear suspension and the rear signal lights.
      I'm not so much into leather, and real leather bags are expensive. The cheap stuff is going to last you maybe a year, from what I've gathered.
      I've had the ABS cases for over half a year now and made about 4.000 KM with them; reaching speeds of 140km/h. They're still hanging on and are ok.
      I was planning to make an install video, but it got so frustrating that I had to put my energy in getting just that done. Honda kinda failed on the design of the rear accessory mounting points. Why would you use different bolt lengths and design a slope just for eye candy!?
      An alternative is to look at any kind of throw over saddle bags, as long as you have bag holders installed on your bike.

    Hi, is there a hole for the lambda probe in the exhaust you are using?

    Hi Vrum Vrum. How is the suspension on bad bumpy roads? Is there an upgrade suspension kit?

    hello nice video, where and how did you put the action camera to get this shot? I tried to put it on the side of the helmet but I take either the handlebars or the road, not both as I would like :(

    • @vrumvrum7497

      hi Christian, in this clip, I'm using a chest mount for my gopro. You can find them on the web at a fairly cheap price.
      This is a good angle for that 1st person take but it has it's drawbacks; one of them being annoying :). You have to put your strap on and take it off any time you want to do the same with the jacket. Also, if you have a big windshield this angle is not going to work that well.
      That is why I plan to move to a helmet chin mount.
      In terms of what you mentioned about getting just the road or handlebars, I'm using a gopro hero8 with superview. The superview does the trick, since it expands the camera's field of view quite a bit. Standard shots would result in more narrow view. Check you camera and see if it has such a feature, if not you might wanna try a fish-eye lens or a different device alltogether.
      I'm no expert tho', so this is just my humble opinion

    Ciao ,scusa se scrivo in Italiano,a me fa rumore quando cambio,mi hanno detto che è normale,nel tuo video non lo sento.

    • @vrumvrum7497

      Ciao, so leggere l'italiano, ma faccio schifo a scriverlo. Il forte suono "clunk" è normale durante il cambio. Credo che nelle registrazioni questo si perda o si attenui, ma in realtà c'è ed è forte. Non c'è niente di cui preoccuparsi. Ho un'altra clip in cui puoi ascoltarla mentre cambio 2 volte ua-cam.com/video/lKaROAoilMk/v-deo.html. Divertiti sulla tua Honda
