I own a MT-03 and am 71 years old and have alway had a motorcycle. This is me re-entering bikes again and I love this bike. It is light and responsive. It is a great bike. Cap sevicing also!!!!

[@Frillar]

The sissy bar/rack COMPLETELY ruins the aesthetics of the bike.
do you really need it?

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

[@SimonCaponVlogs]

Hey chicken!! xd
First of all, loved the review, it was very complete ^-^
I AM turning 18 soon and i've been riding for one and a half years now on a cbf125. With me turning 18, i'll be able to get my A2 license and drive 35kW motorcycles. I have a few questions i'd love for you to answer. Between this bike and a mt-07 (restricted) which one would you choose? (I mainly commute, but in the summer i like to do big rides, 200-600km). Do you think this bike can handle them?
Tu very much, i'll be very grateful if you answer !! :D
Ride safe and keep up with the awesome videos ;)

[@VirusRider]

nice man, awesome to see you enjoy it

[@ProjectExMachina]

So... Leg front or knee down?

[@Maige2900]

have you ever had any stalling issues or the engine completely cutting out whilst riding?

[@HereComeTheParkers]

I took one of these for a test ride recently and I found the engine to be rougher than a D9 bulldozer. Otherwise it was really very good but this issue and the lack of ABS (and a fuel gauge) saw it drop off my list. My question is does the engine 'smooth out' over time? To me it was as rough as guts.

[@SimonCaponVlogs]

haha, not really, it's just something you get used to. I did a 5+ hour ride the other day, felt more of the wind blast than the engine at the end :)

[@strangefacekid]

Not unless you open the airbox, bung the header and get a chip for the fuel loop. then it's fine.

[@jasonthai3077]

what would you guys recommend a mto3 or a cb400 trying to decide .

[@SimonCaponVlogs]

Hi mate, depends what you're looking for. MT03 for a more dirt bike style, CB400 for smooth riding.

[@jasonthai3077]

Chicken Rides have you still got the mto3 whats it like for long rides and in city .

[@MrAusadventure]

Very nice review mate, you covered lots of good points. Overall, I reckon it would be heaps of fun but I don't think I would want to ride one all the time. But definitely some of the time! :-)

[@SimonCaponVlogs]

I dont do that much freeway stuff, so for me, its an awesome commuter. Not for everyone though, thats for sure.

[@camiel221]

I guess at 120-130 the virbration will be pretty bad?

[@CaptainCrankyMotovlogger]

Good review, very honest. Some similarities to my CB500X.

[@SimonCaponVlogs]

yeah, that'd make sense. Certainly a big move away from my cbr250.

[@Maige2900]

good review

[@rachelbacongaming5080]

Im a newb when it comes to motorcycles can anyone tell me what the cc means?? :/

[@Jonesykins]

Cubic Centimetre
The metric measurement of volume in the cylinder of an engine.

[@DailyDerpsicorn]

Very nice bike =]

[@fillecool2]

Wow practice some braking. Anyway nice bike!

[@Jer0867]

8:17 "6th gear"? This bike only has 5 gears!

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Also DONT RIDE IN BLIND SPOTS /bad chicken
But good video!

[@SimonCaponVlogs]

Its not a blind spot when you can revbomb :P

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Chicken Rides Yeah because that revbomb at 5:18 realllllly worked.. Why don't you make like a tree and get the fuck out of here-boondock saints

[@SimonCaponVlogs]

5:18 was a blind spot?

[@SimonCaponVlogs]

My horn sounds like an asthmatic grandmother with a torn voicebox wheezing through a broken drift mic played through a 0.5w fender speakeramp with no working valves.

[@poisonforlunch]

how tall are you?

[@disekjoumoer]

Blue Mountains hoon :P
