Welcome back

Thank you!

What's up Brap? I went out and ripped around Robinson Township today and did a few laps at Settlers Cabin. Reminded me of your video killing it there. 👍 Much love from Pittsburgh!

[@BrapModeOn]

Man I miss that city! Cant wait to come back, hopefully in the next couple of months!

Dude, I love the channel. Keep it up.
I am waaay down in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Personally, I would not even ride a bike if I couldn't lane split.
It is legal to lane split here which is awesome.
My typical morning commute take me 15 minutes, were it is well over an hour or so by car.
Lane splitting should be legal everywhere, but unfortunately it's the other dumbasses that ruin it for everybody and cause chaos flying between cars.
Stay well buddy! And stay safe!

Thanks for the support!!
I completely agree, lane splitting should be legal everywhere! California is the only state in the US where its legal. I personally feel lane splitting is much safer in traffic than not. Cars just dont notice us waiting in traffic behind cars!

[@DeanosRides]

@@BrapModeOn True that!

[@darthprasad]

Lane splitting here in Australia is getting more acceptable. Different states do it differently but it's getting there.
Main thing is that the other motorists eg in my city, Brisbane, are becoming more acceptable of bikes passing in close proximity to them

[@BrapModeOn]

Thats a great point, sometime accidents happen when other motorists arent comfortable. They panic and make silly mistakes 😂

[@dry509]

Is this bike a lot more fun to ride than fz-07 or not? Please advise. Which is more fun...

[@BrapModeOn]

Well fun could be different for everyone. If you mean power than yes. If you mean light weight, easy to throw around, then fz07

[@dry509]

Brap Mode Thanks. Yes, I meant light weight , easy to throw around.

[@BrapModeOn]

@@dry509 Fz07 is definitely lighter! Easy to throw into a corner and great around town! It is a bit on the small side so if you're over 6 feet i don't recommend it

[@dry509]

Brap Mode well I am 6 feet, 206 lbs without gear on. What should I get then?

[@BrapModeOn]

@@dry509 With your size, XSR will definitely be better in terms of power to get you around easily. When I owned my FZ07, I was 220 with gear and it did struggle a bit. But the two questions you should ask yourself are, 90% of the time, what type of riding am I going to do? And, how long do I plan on keeping the bike? If the answers are 50/50 highway and city with keeping the bike for a while, i would get the xsr900! But if 90% of the time you'll be in the city then fz is sufficient

Lane splitting is illegal. You lane split. If you run over by a car, who pays the repair and hospital bills?
