Thanks for watching my DOODS! Please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE :D
I got this after an abusive relationship with my 2013 1199 Pani. I love this bike. Way better for street riding in terms of comfort and power delivery. It doesn't burn my thighs. The quick shifter is amazing. Don't forget about the looks. No it's not an Italian beauty, but it's got some "dayum she purdy" to her! Nice video!
I thought they redesigned the face, to make it more like the 250r. It’s been to two year already. They usually do facelift or tweak the engine a bit
please review the new BMW 1000rr and compare both, I cant decide which one to buy? all the reviews love each of these bikes, i heard Honda will come out with something new for 2020? If you were buying brother which one would you get? wait till October for maybe (praying) Hondas new 1000rr. or go for the BMW? cheers. love your excitement when you ride!
Would be nice to have a full view of you sitting on the bike and tell us how tall you are. Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Just wondering does the bike tell you how many miles til empty??
If I had money I would definitely buy one of this... But I own a 2006 fireblade 🔥 and I'm in love with my bike can't even dream how that 2019 must feel 😍
Great review! Some people say that Hondas are too smooth and have no "character" (whatever that means) but I love them. Superior quality and tons of fun. Love from Japan!
I felt that this Honda had so much character. The engine spooled up like a turbine, crazy!
I agree about Honda. Whether its jets, lawn mowers or bikes...they are a separate class. And character or personality they lack? I finally figured out what that was a few years back. My buddies Panigale S kickstand gave up one day and threw bike on the ground. $4200. Then one ride he tried to shift to second. Would not shift. kept trying. Then trans locked up, which locked up rear wheel(yep, with clutch pulled in). Output shaft broke internally. But hey, it had 6000 miles on it, so maybe worn out? And it was just a first gear high side. Only broke arm and shoulder...oh, and that concussion thing. Fuck personality. Anyone looking for a low mileage(for a Honda) Panigale? Lots of personality!!
@@plumcrazybee7347 Wow! Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like a true nightmare. Here in Japan most people including myself ride only Japanese bikes (no surprise). I know people who have done 50 k trouble free miles on their CBRs doing just basic maintenance. These machines will run forever. I bought my wife a used KTM RC390 though because she really wanted no other bike. We'll probably get it next week but I am already scared as hell.
I had that bike, and once you put a full system on, a race air filter, 2 up on rear sprockets, the sp2 velocity stacks, and a really good tune, the bike becomes an absolute monster! Very aggressive looking, feeling, and seating position bike. Not many people know how to tune it correctly but if you hey someone who knows the bike you can get it over 200 crank hp and over 185hp to the wheel. And sitting at 400lbs with a few weight removing mods that makes it massively powerful.
Even my little CBF-125 has a fuel gauge. What happened here...
I'm really turned off with it having no fuel gauge .. so many spaces left on that screen for a small fuel bar.
MoChan.Official Yeah. But not a big deal breaker though. I just calculate the mileage with the odometer and trip meter etc... Something I would do with my dirt/trail bikes. But yeah, still sucks.
It has a trip meter fuel consumption display. I use that. When I reach 3.1 gallons, I know the light is coming on soon.
I mean the regular cbr1000 has a fuel gauge. They took it off the SP model I assume because they didn’t think people would use the sp on the streets.
Who gives a crap? My 2017 SP2 seems to be perfect without one. Marchesini, Ohlins, Brembo, Ti gas tank, Ti exhaust....not going to cry about a gauge I don't care about. I know how far it can go. Honda took it off display because there is more important shit to show on an SP. And the quick shifter delay is adjustable that wasn't liked in vid. Great video though!
When the fuel level is 4lt or less the display changes automatically and shows how many km you can still ride before the tank is dry
The mirror's design is similar to Honda's logo. Just a small detail noticed.
Holy moly indeed!!
after first oil change, you are supposed to spank open every gear shift well into the red..
I'm on a 2011 zx6r I've had for 4 years. This Fireblade SP will be my next bike. I enjoyed the video, helpful and informative
Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@DukeOfDC I am returning to this comment to let you know that this very motorcycle has been delivered to my doorstep from Dallas, Texas this morning. Thanks again, I finally got my dream bike! Left over new 2019 SP
I was at Honda HQ and i told a lady my first car was an old civic, she gracefully thanked me for my dedication to the cause.
HONDA for life. Even though i sold my CBR1000RR and bought a Yamaha i just pretend it is still a Honda.
The SP is probably the most underrated supersport bike on sale today. And I really like the easy use electronic setups. I own a Fireblade and love if. Like your channel man, I am a new subscriber. Love your real world testing.
Thanks for all the positivity man! I really appreciate it and I’m happy you’re enjoying the channel
I own the 2017 sp and loving every minute , the turn signal /horn issue is nothing , I got used to the configuration after about a day ,good honest review , great vid , regards from uk 👍
Am I the only one who wishes they could own 2? Like I took my Sp2 to the track and had the instant feeling of: I need one for the road and one for the track. The bike is just so damn good.
Doesn't have a fuel gauge? Did I hear that right?
I wish Honda would make a CBR1000RR V4
There were rc213v-s
@@mohammadhidayatisa2373 I know but a cbr V4 on the streets would be a better package
Its is a road legal, or you can get honda interceptor vfr800
@@mohammadhidayatisa2373 no one is going to want to ride a rc213vs on the road. its a 200k motorcycle
@@auomauom ohh yeah, true also.
awesome thanks for the video. ive still got my 2013 repsol Fireblade ! Spent a fortune doing it all up with a full carbon akrapovic race exhaust system (to get rid of the catalytic convertor) - custom ECU mapping, ohlins rear and KTECH front - custom seat both front and rear - a lot of custom protectors and have raced it on the local track a few times, still my baby ! I love Honda paintwork, it lasts so long if you look after it. One thing - i never understood why honda do not supply braided brakelines as standard. I upgraded mine with orange HEL cables - took 5 hours to bleed the brakes for the ABS system. The 2019 model is very powerful, thanks for sharing again, your enthusiasm was infectious (hello from Ireland!) - needs a rear tail tidy! . I think the Fireblade is the best road bike of all the super 1000cc models. love the midrange.
that wind up sound it makes, its like a humming sound , dont even need exhaust that stock sound is on point
Please review the 2019 suzuki GSX R1000R and try to compare them 🙏
I'm on it!! I love the BFP suspension on those GSX-R's
Always loved the look of that bike
The color scheme is seriously epic and the Ohlins just put it over the top
Glad to see close up of bike with camera other than GoPro. I think you left the shutterspeed of the Gopro a bit slow thus the highlight clipping and motion blur. But still, I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work man.
That’s exactly what happened! I have the wrong ND filter and shutter speed combo for the lighting conditions.
Thank you for doin a review of this bike bro. Not enough user created content on this bad boy and probably on the top of my list if i were to buy a brand new liter bike
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
This is my favourite bike in the world
I would prefer it to panigale v4 and even new s1000rr
i own the 2017 SP. My brother just bought the Panigale V4 so I have ridden both extensively (on the road) and the Honda is the better bike in my opinion.
@@MichaelDavis-dy3ix awesome!
@@MichaelDavis-dy3ix That's awesome! The issue he was mentioning with the front brake engagement point, is that something that can be adjusted?
Rohit tammineedi i have a duc v4 and cbr1k . The cbr is more of a daily driver as it smooth comfortable and easy to ride. The duc is like a ferrari, something you take out on weekends. Its so powerful and the speed seems to warp space and time. Its no comparison. The duc will rev to 14k
Pulling HARD the whole way. Mind you i have a ecu tune and arrow exhaust on it.
Absolutely not what I expected you to look like. I don't know what I expected but it wasn't that. lol. Still beats my ugly mug. lol. I don't know why you feel you need to apologize for free content but you're doing great. It's not like you have a bad day and start getting obnoxious with the comment section or something. (Looking at some of you other motovloggers) Keep up the quality content and positive vibes.
Thank you! Yeah, I usually get roasted by haters if the video quality isn't perfect (regardless of how difficult perfection is to achieve, haha) so I figured I'd warn people
Good looking for Honda CBR 1000rr sp abs double disc a bike excellent and my choice a bike very excellent a bike Honda CBR 1000rr sp double disc abs
I own the 2017-SP2- Flashed/Full Titanium Akropovic,, sublime!! Incredible street bike. 5,000 miles on the bike and i still turn in to early. Hard to hold onto above 9k rpm. Incredible light also!! Bike got a bad rap in the beginning. I have experienced 0 false neutrals!!! It also wont burn your legs!!
Thanks for the owners insight! I’m eternally jealous of your epic purchase
Agreed! Love my SP!
I think the false neutrals were due to people not pushing hard enough on the shifter. I had 2 on my 2018 SP1 but it’s because I was babying the shifter. I have 253 miles on mine right now and I love it. I wish I could put more miles on it but I can only ride on the weekends.
I've got the 17' abs in the matte black. Just rolled over 4,500 miles and no false neutral issues whatsoever. It's just like he says, you feel like you're on a 600 but with the power of a liter bike. All that false neutral stuff is bs in my opinion. I love mine! She's a looker too 😍
I have the 17 base model how much improvement after you had it flashed?
Hey man i must admit coming back into the bike game after a 17 yr hiatus im guilty as sin of falling in love with all these new bikes such as the Bmw S1krr, Yamaha R1, Aprilia Rsv4r and The Ducati V4r.... mostly bc its all you see snd hear on UA-cam and on the streets.. But on my vidit last yr to bike show at Javitz center I stumbled upon this Beauty and i must admit it was the 2nd best looking bike there (V4R was #1). But if i were to go for 1000cc bike i think the Fireblade SP would be my choice!!! One bc its freeking Gorgeous livery and gold rims!!! Its pedigree of speed durability and reliability is second to none!!! And its up there with EVERY other bike in its class with rider aids and electronics now.... And its a Honda!! Back in my day in the early to late 90’s its all you saw on the streets on NYC!!! Everyone had a Rc51 or a 929rr or enen a F4i.. and now the Fireblade is like a blast from the past but BETTER!!! I think if im going 1000cc im going FB SP..
sorry to be so long winded lol but this bike just did sumtin to me when i saw it.. took me back to a time when life was fun as hell.. gets that can count as it having soul plus your ride and reaction makes that statement as true as can be!! Thanks brother!!!
How do you go 90mph..while promoting a ride now dealership 🤣
Too slow? I know... I’ve gotten a few comments to go faster but I feel so uncomfortable since these aren’t my bikes and all in new condition so I only briefly take them to these speeds since that’s all that is recommended in the break in mileage. Sorry!
Great review as usual (technical issues aside). Keep it up, I enjoy all of your videos! When I was much younger I lived in Gaithersburg, MD. When I heard you say you were in TX I was thinking I would miss your scenic MD blasts. Glad to hear it's not permanent: No offense Texas, I used to live there too.
Oh yeah, this is definitely just a temporary spot for us while I help out the company that’s sponsoring my content
Do you have any twisty roads anywhere? That’s where that bike really wants to be.
YOOOOO CHILLFAM😩😩😩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥THE PICKUP SPEED IS GOLDEN
Good review dude. I have the 2017 sp1 amazing bike. Just something you missed in you vid that people might want to know about ,mode 1 is track mode, mode 2 is windy road , mode 3 is street mode. And in track mode it tells you your lean angles lap times fastest laps and highest rpm .If anyone on the fence about getting one don’t be once you ride it you will never want another one. Also an awesome track bike.
Imagine how good the SP-2 is ? When the fuel light comes on, it gives you a counter backwards from 35 miles to 0 miles.
The fact that there’s even an SP-2 😍😍
Yes, my SP2 is as good as you imagine
Thank you brother for tour. I'm an old school bike kinda guy. I own a Honda Blackbird which is out of the wrapper clean but my everyday rider is the original SP1 RC51. I'll forever keep these two bikes but I'm very interested in the new Honda SP. With your guiding hand I'm sold.
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
I wish I could buy it. I have CBR 150R coz we can't buy higher cc bikes in my country. One day I'll buy CBR1000RR for sure.
where are you from?
One day you definitely will!! I believe in you
Informative, detailed, and Subscribed!
Thank you for making my day!!
Sweet content man, Face reveal? Also, did you move to TX?
I'll be in Austin for the next couple of months! Haha, I think I've been on camera before, but a while ago.
Well yeah lol I don’t have a stunt double or anything like that haha 😆
Says he's taking it easy on the bike..... casually goes 100mph.
You rode it too hard for the 2 miles you said were on the clock.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Great review as always! Can you do the 2019 R1 or the GSXR?
Adding the the list! The GSXR is coming soon!
The 2019 model should have a new electronic? I would like to know if they have separated wheele control and traction control witch was earlier together in one system, because of this Honda was slow on the track and the issue with ABS system problems when you need a hard breaking also on the track!!!
Thanks and greetings from Honda driver
Wish they would make a new stile RC51...
@UC0e35zafQl-coNnw1UQMSOg - I used to want an RC really badly, and finally bought one around '04. Disappointingly, I really didn't dig my RC-51 SP1. It was kind of novel, and had loads of torque. But it was so linear that it was almost too smooth. Sort of boring.
The SP1 ran hot, was incredibly uncomfortable, and needed a lot of mods to make it rideable. ;It was also pretty heavy, relative to the inlines. Horrible clearance, and if you crash on the Tight Side of Palomar, your side-mounted radiator might be destroyed. The fairing needed to be cut in order to install sliders. Somewhere on Palomar is my ginormous peg feeler that snapped off in a decreasing radius turn coming down the mountain. Maybe it had to do with my bike in particular, but on high speed sweepers, the bike would sort of oscillate back and forth even though I had Lee's set up the suspension. It still felt planted, but wobbles don't instill confidence. If you know Telegraph, there's that one giant sweeper up toward the top of the mountain. That's where the oscillations would occur.
The turn in was very slow, and countersteering would sometimes feel like you're wrestling with clipons.
It's first gear was very long, and the bike felt awkward at parking lot speeds. You could go as hard as you want, but the front wheel would lift. I don't wheelie, but absolute power corrupts absolutely, and there's more awe-factor when the tire rises from clutchless power. Anyway, I don't know how the companies could make a v-t;win with as much horsepower to rival the 190-200 HP the new bikes are generating. Now that bikes are getting V4s, you get the torque and the speed. They are also far lighter than the RC. The weight of the RC felt sort of like the ZX-7RRs from the mid 90s.
When I sold the RC and picked up my Gixxer 750, it was a different world. Tons of familiarity, fun, excitement and performance. A nice, peaky bike that would scream like a banshee above 9k RPMs.
Just my $.02. I think the Aprilia is a huge step up from Honda's old V-twin.
See adaptive's comment lol. This man has the facts
Nice enough bike...hopefully, the engine will not burn oil like a two stroke as the previous generation CBR1000RR had a propensity to do so. Meh.
Thanks for stepping in here, Jack and helping out!
Could you tell me which is better the vfr 1200f or CBR 1000 sp2
vfr800 :)
cbr1000 sp2. but a used vfr800 willsave you $16,000 or more, and still do everything well.
Don't park other bikes in the background whilst reviewing another... also check your lighting 👎🏻
Thanks for this video! I'm in the process of buying one now and obviously not going to be disappointed!!!
I will never understand why this 20k bike doesn't have a fuel gauge. All the technology and they forgot the fuel gauge
Je comprends parfaitement le discours sur le fait que Honda est un constructeur qui ne recherche pas la puissance et brutalité absolue, mais la durabilité, la fiabilité (reliability in temporel space) et la simplicité ( 8.40 / 9.0 mn) . J'ai eu un CBR 954, de 2003 à 2019....Puis je suis passé sur Italienne Bi Cylindre, histoire de voir....Bref, on devine. Alors oui, l'italienne donne énormément de sensation par rapport au côté plus lisse d'un 4 cylindre, mais au final, à mon sens, avoir une bonne moto c'est bien, avoir une moto capable de vous emmener tous les jours, n'importe ou, sous n'importe quel temps....c'est mieux. Ma japonnaise me manque, j'en reprendrai une à côté de ma Bolognaise.
FIREBLADE!!!
why do you take God's name in Vain alot of times?

You can do 150 kilometers in first gear with this bike and 200 in the second Incredible !!!!!
No freaking way man! I had no idea they even changed the name of this dealership...lol... I knew about another dealer in Austin though. I think I saw you on that day, I was on my way to Juiceland... lol...I don't know why Honda did that with the horn and turn signal button. On my 08 CBR 1K the horn button is on the bottom. Enjoyed the video bro!!!

@@DukeOfDC Your welcome bro! I will next time for sure.
yes, the hown needs to be a unilateral across all motorcycles on the bottom, not top!!!
Great video ! This SP is a beautiful machine, I do own the regular model in black "2018" done 1000km so far.. and I love it! Thanks from Portugal..
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it 🤓
Are you able to dial down the power/throttle response along with increasing the other components to help a fairly new liter bike owner? Or do you have to go with the preset modes?
You can use custom settings that do exactly that :)
Nah... I'll stick with the 2020 MT-10. Great review.
Aesir -
We both know how much I love that MT-10
Everyone has there preferred taste. In my opinion I think the mt10 is ugly.
Ugly delicious
Is this smaller than the new s1000? Crazy
I think weight wise it’s actually close. The new RR isn’t very heavy. Not sure about dimension though
The new BMW s1000rr 2020 is lighter and way faster
You should review Kawasaki 900rs if you get the chance.
I just took out a Z900 and the RS is coming soon!
Proud to say that i am an owner of this Private jet . Thats how i call it My Private Jet "
Just something about the color scheme.. I want it so bad and will have it
quick question ppl...
BTW (2018 CBR1000RR ABS,10grand,new),(2018 CBR1000RR SP1, 14grand ,new)or
(2015~17 bmws1000rr 14grand used)what would you buy it with 5grand down-pay?
i got approve for SP1 today from dealer but idk if its really worth it to get the SP1 with that price?
SP's rule..! Great review man
The phrase your looking for is "Total Control " now thats a Honda
I enjoyed the review, but then I'm biased towards to the moto!. One thing, you mentioned it hat 189HP at the rear wheel, pretty sure that's at the crank. Also, Honda restricts the HP on the USA models due to noise emissions. This can mostly be restored via a ECM flash, (performed by most respectable tuners, although it can void the warranty). That being said, the rear wheel hp is more in the 150HP range, on the bike he tested in the video. Read all about it on 1000RR.net, facts.
I currently own a 2016 R1 60th anniversary edition which I love. But I would consider trading it on this SP? You’ve ridden both...which one would you rather have for street use only? Thanks!!
@ 5:41........." for generations"?? LOL!!!!! They have been around since 1949.
I mean, that’s generations... haha this comment only reaffirmed mine 😂
@@DukeOfDC Johnny is actually correct. The CBR1000 has only been in production since 2005. 15 years is not even one generation.
Where the heck are you riding what crappie roads and being the bike is new can't judge some things till get some miles on it.
That’s why they’re called first ride reviews. Just an initial feel, breakdown, and walk around. Thanks for the positivity! Safe riding
There are 18 and 19s going for less than 15k as of current
How can you test a bike on a motorway and think it’s amazing
Hello, thanks for your input. I have an 09 cbr1000rr abs, 3yr now, I love everything about the bike except the brakes. It scares me, pull the lever and its almost like nothing there and then it is. Emergency braking will flash the abs light, and it won't reset without turning of the bike. Is abs Honda like this, or abs bikes in general
I picked up an SP2 for 18900, imagine all that bike you love with lighter wheels(and technically different intake/exhaust valves)
Only an inch shorter than my ninja 1000.
Good review mate, are the day time running light in the wing mirrors and are the supposed to be amber? I've just recently got one and I've never seen that set up before. Thanks
I'm just trying to figure out which Honda to go with...I gotta stick with Honda, regardless! I've had them since my ole Big Red and we tried to push it to the limits and it wouldn't die...HAAAAA!!
When the fuel level is 4lt or less the display automatically changes to how many km you can ride before the tank is dry. Km, miles, lts and gals can be changed by the user too.
Okay read everything are you going to buy the new Honda Cbr 1000. 2021 .new Subscriber......
The light and flickable nature of this bike is just like the 900rr was back in the mid 90's when I used to ride.
This bike definitely phenomenal. It is a bike can live with, and can record lap on track. I own SP, 959 and R1M. SP is my most favourite.
I have an 02 , 954 RR. and a 2015 1000 RR .. The 1000 was new , only 1900 miles .. Guy traded it in... I snatched it ! !
Love both ! The 1000 , I have 3100 miles on now , it's starting to come in ...
Both r Awesome....
Class aside, for $20G's the KTM Super Duke 1290 R is way better.

Awesome review! How easy do you find putting your foot down compared to other liter bikes you've tried? Sometimes the seat height doesn't tell the whole story, cause I found it a bit harder on the new S1000RR compared to my '17 ZX-6R even though it had a slightly lower seat height.
When I test ride the 2020 S1000RR M I was SO disappointed in the throttle response. My S1000R felt more linear and predictable in response. Do you think something was wrong with the bike? Felt like it was stuck in Hill Start mode. Once on the highway it was incredible. Pulling out was brutal!
That’s wild! I’ve only seen positive reviews of the new S1000RR but have yet to ride one and I’m dying to! Maybe it was in a super high traction control mode?
DukeOfDC It was in Dynamic mode so its a step above road. I thought maybe the hill start control was messed up?
Just bought mine yesterday.its a fantastic bike really changes on 4000 rpm.awsome Bike
Sadly in real world supersports have moved on, honda has fell behind, fair comparison of this is 2016 bmw 1000rr, and then the2016 bmw is still better bike and 2019 is streets ahead of it., same with there cars, great as there are KIA in 5 years will be out selling them in most markets but they are more forward thinking. Formula 1 there refusal to integrate European engineers into engine programme put them 3 years behind. Still love my 1100rr and vfr 750
I think they're trying to push back, I mean look at the R1... it's a seriously amazing motorcycle that is competing very well against the euro bikes. Honda does have osme work to do, I will admit.
7:40 perhaps it still has brand new brake pad?? So the initial bite of the brake still feel like loss? Because my bike when it was brand new , it kinda loss for the first maybe 100km? But after 100 i get a harder bite though
Drunk on Honda 😂
My man 😎
I'm debating on getting this but was wondering if this is an Overkill for the streets?
The best thing about Japanese bikes is simplicity and durability
Honda
Suzuki
Yamaha
Kawasaki.
I know dealers don't like to give test rides, well Harley and Zero are good about that, so I only buy bikes I've seen vloggers test ride or that I've ridden.
That's why I do what I do man! Trying to give people the virtual test ride experience
As a buck forty, 5'7 guy, I will NEVER! go back to a 600.
Oh yeah? Elaborate, I’m curious why not. The more I ride, the less bike I feel I need
@@DukeOfDC My riding Crew owns Gxser600, R6, Ninja6. they're about the same weight +/- . So it's a 600 if you want it to be. The height of the 1000rr is perfect for me off the showroom, the seat along with the tank, fits me like a puzzle piece. I am so confident that I've taken it through 5 to 15mph narrow twisties (which they're afraid and failed to complete with their 6s LOL) and at long rides if I need to break away from the 600 monotony that extra snappiness brings a whole lot of happiness.
of course you have to have "EXPENSIVE" in the title of the video
My only gripe with this bike is that it doesn't have a fuel gauge. I would however like them to add cruise control in addition to the fuel gauge
It was a bit of a shock to me as well, but I feel like you get used to not having one rather quick. Amen on the cruise control
Excellent review. You took the words out of my mouth
Wait a sec. $20k and no fuel guage wtf? Honda does se great stuff but sometimes i scratch my head thinking why did you miss something so simple. But it has on on the 600RR
Which Liter Bike has fuel gauge beside GSXR1000?
Man you're complaining 20k is expensive. We live in Malaysia it's caused us 114K man. It's super cheap over there. You got a lot of option. With 20 k we can only buy 250cc yamaha.
@@joejr6103 ok i live in usa not malaysia so yes $20k is expensive.
holy hell man! I am so sorry for that.
The Ducati's, Aprilia's, and BMW's do
You do realise you don't need the clutch for downshift either... It has auto blipper 🤦♂️
Ahhh HONDA... my choice
Iove this model dashboard its looking awsom when u riding
Duke, are you going to put out any new videos?
I hope to some day, but I just haven’t felt the desire to ride in a while. Kinda sad really
So is it harsh On The wrist
I want one. Ha, the Duke of DC does Texas!! All of those long straight aways.
So many straights here lol. I'll be back in VA before we know it!
