We headed off to the north if Tenerife, to the old town of Puerto de la Cruz for some lunch.
We were given a few tips of places to visit around Puerto de la Cruz, so we decided to check them out.

There’s some great weather waiting for you back home… Very interesting series this 👍
I was amazed to sed blue sky today… but rain forecast non stop from tomorrow. Reality check😆🌧☁️
The Kawasaki W800 is a modern classic style Japanese bike. Very 1960's British looking bike.
I reckon the coolest Japanese bike currently is the Kawasaki Z900RS. Modern sports-naked performance but with gorgeous retro proportions, colour schemes and styling, all wrapped up in a quality finish. I've loved how they look since release and I'd love to get my hands on one as a faster pace change to sit alongside my Bonnie in the garage. That said, if you're going up against the Bobbers I reckon you're testing the new Honda Rebel 1100, and I certainly hope that's the case because it promises to be a great bike that I want to see more on.
Have to say, I know this trip back to the UK is only a short one but from following the insta I know your time on Tenerife overall is coming to the end in the not too distant future too and I for one will be very sad to see you leave. I've enjoyed living out my Tenerife dreams through you after not making it there myself and while I'll enjoy whatever content you make, wherever you go, and as much as it will be fun to see some new scenery, I'll miss the island for sure. I'd love to know how you're feeling about the return to the UK, even briefly, back to our crap weather, crap attitudes frankly, and the high theft rates of London (not that you'll be bringing the bike on this little stopover).
I literally said the same bike!! 😛 😂 Great bike
@@theprinceofbabylonia Great bike and great bikes haha
I’m hugely keen to test the Z900RS- it seems to be universally loved! Bang on with the 1100 Revel- I’m really excited to see Honda’s angle on the bobber🙂👌🏻
I still don’t know how I feel about leaving Tenerife, but one thing that’s concrete in my mind is that it’s my favourite place I’ve ever been❤️🏝👌🏻🙂
@@FreddieDobbs Ahh nailed it! And yeah I bet you are, Tenerife looks to tick a whole lot of boxes for a biker's dream location. The only sticking point would be the Spanish attitude to vehicle mods if you stayed there long enough to need an inspection
@@TheSpectre223
my new bike is coming from Sweden and I've been warned it could take up to a year to get it matriculated..
unless it's a very special bike with high sentimental value is to sell up and buy here..
That time on the Island sure did pass quickly! Really enjoyed all of the videos Freddie and Monica, thanks 😁 !
I'm rather sad you're coming home. I've really enjoyed your Tenerife diary and just watching the beautiful weather gives me a Ready Brek glow. 22 degrees with you, 7 in the UK as I write this (and blowing another hoolie). I think you've done a lot for Tenerife tourism, it's the obvious place for a Brit to escape the winter blues. Safe journey anyway. If you ever decide on a motorcycle safari to North Wales you and Monika are most welcome to stay at my house (with garage for your bike) for as long as you like. Cheers!
I really have been enjoying the videos in Tenerife. You have a unique style that makes the viewer feel like they're out on a trip with you!
Can't wait to see what's up next and I'm already excited for you to return to Tenerife :-)
Tenerife has been a very interesting tour and you and Monika have definitely explored it well and given some great ideas for motorcyclists and anyone else coming out there for a holiday or extended stay. The trip to Gomera was amazing - not somewhere I had thought of as a holiday destination. Your final trip here was good with the trip to the Jardin and inevitable coffee stop. Too bad about the beach but the weather had turned a bit. Just like here - snow and hurricane force winds in Scotland ! Get yer thermals on to return to the UK, as I dont think it's much better in the London area. Who'd have thought it though in February. Look forward to your next adventures.
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika
Nice ride out, thanks for taking us along.
So cool, again. You two are my muses. Enjoy it back here, the third February storm is waiting to pounce!
Hi Freddie and Monica great channel love bikes and love Tenerife you been great to watch its been really nice to see parts of Tenerife we have not been to have safe trip back to England.👍
Really enjoyed all these videos, even my wife recognises you now “ oh the bloke in Tenerife who likes crap cars” I do try to educate her!
Have a safe trip Freddie and Monica, looking forward to the next video
Thanks very much, Michael!
Z900RS, hands down, is the best retro Japanese motorcycle.
HoHo - Daniel is my neighbour from East Yorkshire. He and his wife Agnes are building their own house behind our house in South Cave and I suggested he look up your videos when they went out to Tenerife shortly after you and Monika.. What a coincidence that you should meet. He did send me an email last weekend showing a picture of you and him together... Happy travels.
The Kawasaki Z900RS all day long...
Noooo way! It’s a small world!🙂
Thanks for sharing the channel with Daniel, Kevin.
The Z900RS is very close to top of my list- I really want to try it!!
@@FreddieDobbs Had a two-hour ride on a 2021 Speed Twin while my new Tiger 900 was getting its first service and really want to jump on a Z900RS soon, to compare while I can remember what the Speed Twin was like ... which was pretty amazing once I got used to the different style....
Hope you have a safe journey home guys.
Loved every vlog and have to say the North looks like the place I'd want to be.
Always good to return to puerto
Hi, A great trip over your time in Tenerife , you have sold the Island 100 percent to me , to escape the UK winter . Thank you both and I hope your return trip goes ok , fun all the way ,take care .😀
Sorry to here your heading back to the uk
I am leaving Tenerife now, to go back to UK. I absolutely adored Tenerife. I could see myself living here 😀. Safe trips to you guys.
Welcome back to blighty F&M great production! Will keep my eye out for you as sounds like you will be in my neck of the woods😎😎
Hi both, great videos, there is so much more to see on a bike. Freedom is two wheels. My choice for a Japanese bobber would have to be the Honda Rebel in Pearl stallion brown….what a colour. Like me a few friends are getting a little older have thought about a touring scooter like the Bergman or something similar.Ever thought about doing a vlog on them, when you return to Tenerife I’m sure there’s plenty out there….safe journey to uk
Don't forget to pack your thermals if you're going back to the UK 🥶
Looking forward to seeing your first Japanese bike review. 😀👍
I’ve got them all ready for tomorrow!🙂🤘🏻🏍
Undoubtedly the Kawa Z900RS. 😍
So beautiful, such an amazing engine.
And the sound is just fantastic 🎶
With out a doubt for me the Yamaha xjr 1300, beautiful looking and wonderfully torquey bike, my Japanese modern retro, hope to see you both on the roads of Suffolk soon even if it's only a brief stay, Thanks Freddie and Monica
Z900rs, by and far, head and shoulders, no doubt the coolest retro bike offered . Full stop 🛑.
I will really miss your Tenerife videos, you had some really great stuff on them. Kudos to Monika for being so patient with your interests and ramblings. Have a good trip back to the UK - are you going to show us the return trip as well?
My parents moved to Tenerife in the early 1970s. The area you are in at the Botanical Gardens is La Oratava not Puerto I think you'll find and yes the North is lush. In the 1970s the south was not developed and the La Reina airport not built as Los Rodeos wasthe only airport often hampered by low cloud at it's altitude. You should visit the north when all the villages set out religious fabulous tableaus all done with flower petals. Visit also La Laguna church and the memorial at La Matanza de Acentejo where the first battle between the original inhabitants of Tenerife the Guanches, were victorious over the Spaniards in 1494
It's much nearer to the centre of Puerto than to La Orotava. And, I've just checked - its address is PdLC!
@@stoobydootoo4098 totally, it's PDLC 100%. Orotava is the other side of the TF5
Tenerife in the 70s must have felt so gigantically different to today! The south of the island must’ve been almost completely empty😳
I’ll save these tips, thanks do much Raymond🙌🏻🙂
@@FreddieDobbs Loro Parque in Puerto worth a look but don't know if the killer whales still performing. It's unfair to these beautiful animals but you do get to appreciate their majesty. The birds, seals and zoo interesting too. Look forward to your trips, stay safe both.
japanese retro bikes you can probably still find in a showroom are Yamaha SR400, (so retro it only has a kickstart, sadly ceased production last year), Honda CB1100 EX, Kawasaki W800... at over 20 years old you can probably include Suzuki's SV650 in that mix but that kinda stretches the definition of 'retro'. it doesn't look THAT old is what I mean (modern classic, definitely, though.). so that's one bike from each of the big 4.
Thanks, man!
Coolest Japanese bike at the moment is the Kawasaki Z900RS / RS SE for me. Looks amazing, modern performance and stunning aesthetics and finish. Doesn't sound like that's the bike you'll be testing - but I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say we'd love it if you did!
Gutted you coming home bud.
Wife n I been loving watching your videos to remind us of the place.
This means we are going to have to go there now.
Good luck for the future guys
Thanks very much Martin, really appreciate it! I’ll have two months left in Tenerife when we come back in March, so I’ll make sure to soak in every moment!🙂🇪🇸
Brilliant videos always cheered me up Loved all the bikes and scenery all the best Mike
Freddie and Monica, watch out for the Eunice storm.
we had a bad storm in UK yesterday and today .. East Sussex
As you are hinting at Bobber style Japanese I can only think of the Rebel 1100, But the coolest Retros would be the Z900RS or the W800 but it's so like your existing Bonneville. If you did not specify Japanese I would have guessed a Moto Guzzi. Have a good trip back, bring a coat.
Even though the two of you plan to come back ( I love the UK) , I felt sentimental. I know the vids are promotional but they seem romantic as well. Just hope all your efforts are bountiful.
That’s very kind of you to say so. It’s thanks to people like you for very kindly watching the channel, thank you🙂
Kawasaki Z900 👍. Coolest Retro out there!
I reckon it's the Honda Rebel 1100. If it is with your height you will feel cramped. I'm 5'11 and have fitted forward controls which makes a big difference
I have 30,000 miles on my 2018 Kawasaki Z900RS. Still have not had to adjust the valves. Gone through 3 sets of tires, a chain and sprockets, and a full set of brake pads, however.
Theres that green cap again !!
XSR900 (the 2022 version that's not yet available), Z900RS and the Rebel 1100, in this order!
Great video Freddie, as always! Have a good and save trip back!
Good evening Freddie, wishing you both a safe journey to the uk.
Really appreciate it, Mark🙂
Belvedere will be a big change from Tenerife. Off to GC for few weeks at the end of March, can't wait. Intrigued by your Japanese cruiser teaser.
Awesome, can’t wait to get over there. I bet your a tad colder today. 👍
It’s a shock to the system, but blue sky so I was good enough for me!😀🇬🇧☀️
Hi Freddie thank you so much for sharing such amazing places in Tenerife it being a journey of discovery with you around the island. A biking hoilday is on the list that's for sure with your great recommendations of places to hire of quality bikes to tide . A new journey awaits you with new places to go as life is a ever revolving circle of adventure . Rolley :)
Great video again . I thought I was in Spain for a moment.
Loved this season. Safe trip home
Safe journey back. Look forward to seeing what's next :)
As an aside, not really into bikes - my last one was a Triumph Tiger Cub and I only ever had a provisional license. Good fun on a nice sunny day though!
When you said bobber I was not sure, but we like the Kawasaki W800
How's it going in the UK well we've just had the second storm in 3 days. Combined with the spring tide the Severn estuary is going to have waves 40m above normal. 100mph winds in the south. My advice take your time coming back. Perhaps enjoy the Pyrenees, travel through Andorra
Also from Japan the best type of bike is the Honda goldwing and the Suzuki vstrom
They are flying back.
If you planning to go to Lithuania wait till summer it’s bleak and cold at this time of the year.
I must say puerto de la cruz looks like a place i should visit, Cheers to you both.
Bon voyage 🙂
Cheers from Algiers
I have been motorcycle training all this week. Cold, heavy rain and 2 storms! I was afraid of the rain on bikes before i started! Mod 1 tomorrow though! Envious of the climate you were in. Make sure you 2 wrap up over here!
Ooooooo the very best of luck tomorrow! I failed my mod1 first time because I started hyperventilating and forgot where I was on the figure of eight! It’s actually easy- if you can stay calm and level headed (something I struggle with!) you will be totally fine🙂
Best of luck! You will not regret getting your bike licence. Hope it’s not too windy.
@@FreddieDobbs thanks i`ll do my best!
@@stuartmoles843 the wind has been terrible in yorshire this last week. i`ve felt every gust. but took as a learning curve with the safety net of an instructor!
Not good weather in England to be testing the 1100 Rebel. When the storm passes try take a look at the new retro Kawasaki Z650.
Thank you freddie! I found the bike shed in London through you and spent a lovely birthday lunch there
Delighted to hear it, Leonie!🙂🎂🏍
Those gardens look amazing. But I was hoping to see at least a cameo of Monika enjoying them as well (Hint for future vids). I'm looking forward to your vids from your time back in the UK and interested to see what Japanese bike you have lined up. IMHO the Kawasaki Z900RS is the coolest current Japanese retro. If I had to choose a Japanese cruiser, then the nod would go to the Honda CMX 1100 Rebel. It would be particularly interesting if you have the chance at the DCT model. It looks like I'm in good company seeing other commenters predicting the same models.
Honda Rebel in my opinion. Oh, back to Boris's UK! lol. Being cheeky now......I hope that was that a Beef Burger and not one of those lab burgers? 😂
Without doubt the Honda CB1100
You are going back to the UK just in time for some pretty bad weather.
I am back at the end of the month and hoping it has calmed down a bit.
My guess for the Japanese bike is the Honda rebel.
Ian
Back on two wheels
Hi @Freddie Dobbs , I enjoyed your movies/pictures from Tenerife.
But sometimes you should have been better informed about the places you chatted about. Eg. in this video you looked down the street Calle Iriarte with some of the oldest and historic buildings of Pto. Cruz. On the right the Casa Iriarte and the kind of typical buildings out of the ~18.Cent. with the Museo Naval. On the left you saw... and the building with those nice green balconies was build in the 1980s (not really historic ;) ).
5:12 the buildings on the right also some very old buildings under a kind of monument protection. The building on 5:19 was the most luxury hotel in the 1970/80s.
End, please, please, "Jardín" is pronounced [xar'din]. 🤪
Take care and joyful riding!🤙
Nice jacket. Stylish, but understated. You been polishing your bike?
You're brave coming back to the UK at this time. I would have left it at least 2-3 months to give the best chance of drier warmer summer like weather.
Will you be visiting the London Motorcycle Show?
Glad you haven't finished with Tenerife. The title had me confused.
Kawasaki Z900RS is the best looking retro bike ive seen these days
You still have "indicator thumb" by the way ;)
It will be a shock to the system 😂, your videos have shown what a beautiful island Tenerife is😎👍
it has indeed. makes a nice change from the Blackpool in the sun image it suffers from .
I don't think anyone else has done the island such justice as Freddie & Monika have via their videos . Much kudos to them both.
Why not review a classic as well as a retro. The Yamaha XS650, the original Bonneville killler in the 1970s. If you’re in London Saturday mid morning come down to the bike shed and have a go on one.
Nice vid, good information, but the burger probably bit cold to eat 😅 … anyway, seems to be a wonderful place to stay & ride 👍🏻
Another nice blog Freddie. Thank you. I am glad that you make sure to stop and have coffee with Monica ..😊
Bdw I don’t know if Honda Hness CB350 is available in the UK. I would love to see you ride that bike if possible 👍✌️
I so enjoy your vlogs, always different and fresh with life on a fantastic Spanish island. So lovely seeing Monica every now and then, such a true lady and beautiful 😍. Sorry getting carried away now 😂 lol
Probably wrong but I'm thinking you must be about to test the Kawasaki Z900 RS, stunning retro Japanese bike. If so you'll love it just like TMF did. Loving the Tenerife content by the way, and top work on the last video comparing the interceptor and bonneville.
Bike's looking very clean Freddie!
Thank you for noticing, Stephen!🙂🏍🧽
That was stunning Freddie, no wonder Monika looks so good. She must run miles to catch you up 😂
Sad you won’t be there when we come out in May. Where are you going back in the UK? Are you going back to the flat?
If there’s a chance maybe we could catch up with you both for a bit of a brain storming session?
Are you going back with the Fiat or, have you succumbed to one of the Islands classics,
Safe travels, David & Ed
Great video. If this was filmed on Tuesday then you must be flying into the UK on Saturday. Luckily you should miss the worst of the big storm but it's still going to be pretty grotty.
Already back… and already experience the storm!😆🇬🇧. Ahhhh it’s good to be back!
My guess is you're going to test a Honda Rebel? But for me, the coolest Japanese retro is the CB1100 if you can still find one at a dealer.
I really liked the video and music at the time of visiting El Bollullo beach, fascinating. I understand that they leave the motorcycle and the car in Tenerife and return in a few weeks, right? Good trip.
For your test bike, Honda Rebel 1100 whith DCT
Absolutely right; back in the UK for two weeks🇬🇧
It is an 1100 Rebel, but I don’t know if it has DCT🤷🏼♂️
XSR900
Hola!!!, you have been to El Puerto de La Cruz, and into the "Jardin de Aclimatacion de La Orotava" , It's marvellous!!!! and you went all the way down to the beach "El Bollullo", that I know pretty well, because I used to go to have a swim and take the 🌞, when It wasn't ☁️; what a pity you couldn't go further, that what you saw is a bar,you could drink and eat when It was open ,also there is another beach, near on the right side ,playa de" Los Patos" , "El Ancon" you could go walking and jumping when the sea tides were low...
And did you visit La Orotava?
I'm from there, but now live in El Medano
Are you already back to U.K.?
Maria, look back at previous videos to see Orotava
the whole series has been quite fantastic and done the island proud.
they return to La Tejita in 2 weeks time for the last 2 months of their stay...
saludo
Richard
Del Duque
I enjoyed looking at your videos with Monica. Are you guys going to a warm place in the future? Thank you🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏
Delighted to enjoy them, Jasper!🙂
After Tenerife; UK, Lithuania and possibly Italy/Croatia👌🏻👌🏻
Safe journey guys, another great video with cracking soundtrack once again, could it be the Honda rebel 1100 that you will be testing, that’s my guess
So coooll.Does Monica travels in the bike as well?..
Hey both, loved Trenerife, but cant wait for your English vilages etc. IOW is my fave video. Its great to see all. Wish uk had weather like there😂. Whatever you do I find myself liking before ive watched
I think you're testing the CMX 1100, I have the 500 but I shall be changing it this summer for a NT 1100, made the decision 2 days ago, a last minute decision, I always wanted a Speedmaster.
Can't explain it.
Thanks for another good episode and have a good and safe journey.
I love my Rebel by the way, but I wanted some more power, and they can't deliver the big Rebel this year.
Spot on!😀👌🏻🏍
Thank you for the Rebel insight, and extremely interesting that they can’t deliver one this year!😳
I think you will enjoy it.
ua-cam.com/video/Qj550As9zmU/v-deo.html
you mentioned Bali... have you ever been there?
I think the coolest japanese bike is the Honda CB1000R 💪👍🤙
You looked liked you really enjoyed that cake 😵💫 19:33
A Japanese Bobber style of bike…
Kawasaki Vulcan maybe?
Wonderful scenery , very jealous ! .. except for the outdoor mask wearing , I could not cope with that !
Safe trip back xxx
Thanks Susan🙂
Kawasaki z900 or w800! Love them Both! Or how about a Vulcan? 👍
(Although I am a Honda fan)
Kawasaki Z 900 RS beautifull Japanes Bike!!! Greetings from Germany!!! Martin 😎
for japanese retro? i would choose the xsr900 or the suzuki katana. nothing else.
Yamaha XSR900 is a brilliant bike or the BOLT R spec if it’s a cruiser you’re after.
So it's back to freezing cold blighty for a fortnight.....brrrrr.....you and Monica are REALLY going to miss Tenerife at this time of year but I suppose work demands etc! I reckon the bike you're going to be testing is the Honda CMX1100.....yes, i know they make a 500 version of it but hey Freddie......we've got standards and only the big bobber will do? Pillion carrying capacity looks a bit dodgy on it though, poor Monica! (Does it even come with that tiny mudguard mounted pillion seat as standard or is that an optional extra?) Looking forward to your review of it though but I don't reckon there will be too many surprises after all because it's a Honda = silky smooth engine probably totally lacking in character but as reliable as the sun coming up in the morning. Keep em coming Freddie.....and dig out the big coat and the thermals.....it's bloody freezing over here! ;-)
Freddie, it has got to be Kawasaki Z 900.
Ooh scout bobber 😍🏍😍
Good stuff Freddie, the UK weather is err …..
Just getting used to it as we speak😆🥶
If it’s a Japanese cruiser type bike on the New market then the Honda NT 1100 .....but have a look at the new Kawasaki RS650 Twin if you get a chance! ( and the new BSA 650 GoldStar Single!...wow...that looks amazing!).....safe journey back to the UK 👍ps a good barber will sort out that flattened mini Afro you’ve cultivated!! 🤣🤣👊😎👍
Good shouts- especially the Goldstar- that looks really good (i’ve added my name to the mailing list to hear more on that!).
Re the haircut- appreciate the tip!😆💈
Thank you🙂🤜🏼🤛🏼✈️
