I tried venturing into other channels for EICMA content , and you have the best coverage I could find. Keep up the great work! My buddy bought a 2024 CBR1000RR last week. Holy smokes what a bike... I had a CBR600 back in the day (1990). My passion is dual sporting nowadays though. I’ll be adding something different to my stable in the future, but I have no plans to ever sell my Rally. I’m a Honda fanboy through and through, but seeing what BMW has to offer in way of crotch rockets, I might be pretty torn if I were into those like I use to be. Thanks man!
Thanks. There might also be a chance that no one else is this stupid to undertake making 50 videos in 4 days.... Maybe they just go and enjoy the show. That would be nice 🤣
I absolutely love the paintjob on that new 300 Rally, georgous, with firmer suspension they made an already great bike even better, and best of all its Honda❤
Hi John, I'm really sorry but I can only really film on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's a public day from now on and with a backlog of 50 videos to edit, I'll not be going back to EICMA this year. Please accept my apologies. I'll make sure it's higher up the list for next year.
Bold new graphics ... honestly the CRF Rally at this point is a pure rip-off, consider what Honda wants for it. (7500€ in Germany) It's budget through and through but with a premium price tag.
@@sys-administrator Still can't throw my head around that exhaust position. I ride a lot of TeT Poland and Baltikum but also Sweden, Norway and so on. Tons of small river crossings or just deep puddles. I even had to bring my voge to a higher wading depth with sealing the airbox. I don't know how even the little puddles gonna work on the KTM. As long there is no solution for that, I pretty much ignore this bike.
I often wonder if honda realizes that they need to add adaptive cruise control blind spot monitering and all that radar based adas stuff for their bigger touring models like Africa twin and goldwing considering what you get in the competition market.
It might have been and I missed it (though I think I covered everything… hard to tell when the stand is that big and that dark. It’s a filming nightmare.
I am in the market of buying CB650R. I am holding off my horses to see 2025 model but looks like they are showcasing the 2024 models. Will there be an update for CB650R?
Not me I'm afraid. Though for a 350, I really hope the Moto Morini Tremezzo comes to the UK... it's a 350cc inline V-Twin and looks fabulous! I'd choose it over the Honda... And I'm a Honda person (I had 3, now down to 2)
It was, but draped in ladies in a dark corner but I thought there was another that I could film. Turns out there wasn't but I only realised in the edit and it was too late to go back. You have my apologies. It wasn't skipped on purpose. The Honda stand is massive. They could learn from Ikea and force you to go round a certain way and see everything, but that's not here yet, so I have to try and cover the whole stand in multiple passes. This time I missed it. Apologies.

You didn’t show the v3 concept bike, I’m really excited about that one
Yes. Recorded it yesterday. I have six more videos to edit from day 1 and I’ll do Hero next. It’ll be online for the start of the day (5am IST) Friday morning
This is just sad. I'm old enough to remember the year Honda released over 50 clean sheet designs in one year. Not that we need a new model every week, but it's been two or three decades of minor capacity changes and bold new graphics. Not just from Honda, but all the Japanese. Put most of the bikes in their lineup next to the versions they were selling 20 years ago and one is pretty much as good as the other. On the road you'd be hard pressed to pick which one was better.
Yup. And it's a bugger to film too! Maybe I should just focus on the new things. That would be a shorter video. It's hard to get excited by Euro5+ and stickers...
An excellent question. I was trying to think what the most exciting bike was on their stand. It’s difficult because it’s so close. You’d think when none are particularly exciting one would still stand out. That 350 retro bike perhaps?
Unknown. I saw some e-scooters, but if there was something else it's either not there or I missed it. Both are possible. There was no 50th anniversary Goldwing either.

I think it’s mostly stickers and blue seat cover. The lower plastics are (I think) now bare matt black plastic rather than the gloss of before.
do you have a link to the suspension changes on the 2025? I keep reading its the exact same bike with new graphics and lower emissions
Man that black fireblade is gorgeous 😍
It is!
Good to see you at the eicma show again.. i know your probably under the pump but if possible I would love you spin on the SWM stand...

The GB 350 came as competition to Royal Enfield Classic 350 in India.
It was tailor made to India and now exported to UK and Japan.
Thanks

Yup. The Voge 300 Rally does as much for just over half and bikes like the Rieju Aventura 300 offer more for less. Suspension in particular.
€8500 in The Netherlands. And it needs about €1000 in suspension. KTM 390 Adventure R could be a good deal, prices are still unknown.

@@lucke1022 Put on the Enduro exhaust. Or not. You can still go through water with a low exhaust.
Reliability and serviceability don’t seem to be a priority in your shopping choices. Cool.
I often wonder if honda realizes that they need to add adaptive cruise control blind spot monitering and all that radar based adas stuff for their bigger touring models like Africa twin and goldwing considering what you get in the competition market.
Not sure. They have so many models, I guess they only look to update them every few years. Maybe in the next version?
Dont forget, we are talking about motorcycles, not semi trucks…
Surprised the Hornet 1000 SP was not on display...
It might have been and I missed it (though I think I covered everything… hard to tell when the stand is that big and that dark. It’s a filming nightmare.
I am in the market of buying CB650R. I am holding off my horses to see 2025 model but looks like they are showcasing the 2024 models. Will there be an update for CB650R?
I'm sorry but I don't know. Even if there is, you should check with your local dealer for local variances, and what they are expecting.
I would love to see your coverage of the Aprilia booth.
It's coming. That's a day 2 video (6 left from day 1)
Anyone know if the honda cb 350s is coming to uk market?
Not me I'm afraid. Though for a 350, I really hope the Moto Morini Tremezzo comes to the UK... it's a 350cc inline V-Twin and looks fabulous! I'd choose it over the Honda... And I'm a Honda person (I had 3, now down to 2)
As you didn't show the new CB1000 Hornet I am assuming it wasn't on show?
It was, but draped in ladies in a dark corner but I thought there was another that I could film. Turns out there wasn't but I only realised in the edit and it was too late to go back.

What's the V3? (And yes, apologies for missing it)
Honda have developed a 3 cylinder v configuration engine that they say will go into production and was unveiled at the show.
No CB300R update again
I’m afraid not.
Hey can you give us a view of the Hero stand in EICMA
Yes. Recorded it yesterday. I have six more videos to edit from day 1 and I’ll do Hero next. It’ll be online for the start of the day (5am IST) Friday morning
@PeakMotorcycles thanks mate...your videos are really awesome
The Hero video is up now.
"hero" is the largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world..!
Did anyone tell Honda that? I thought Hero was the largest manufacturer in India?

Honda crf300 rally did nothing good in this year. This can't be a "new bike". What happened with HONDA
An excellent question. I was trying to think what the most exciting bike was on their stand. It’s difficult because it’s so close. You’d think when none are particularly exciting one would still stand out. That 350 retro bike perhaps?
Where's the EV fun concept bike?
Unknown. I saw some e-scooters, but if there was something else it's either not there or I missed it. Both are possible. There was no 50th anniversary Goldwing either.
honda learn nothing--- the crf300 needed to be a crf400 rally with a twin engine
That would have been great! Maybe next year? I'd even take the 350 that they already have...
With better suspensions, it will get bypassed now with the new 450 adventure bikes for less money
