It's all about ergonomics and gear. The right handlebar at the right height (risers might be needed), foot peg position, knee angle, plushness of saddle, right windscreen, noise mitigation, proper gear, ... I have done 14 hours on the saddle many times (St Louis -NY, St Louis - Denver, St Louis - Buffalo, in winter), as well as Iron butt type rides, but my bikes are always set up for my comfort, and no matter how many hours I spend on the saddle, I sleep normally and wake up the next morning fresh as fiddle.
You're absolutely right, check out my new videos. I'm doing the voiceovers myself now, and im planning a do-over on the route videos! Thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching!
I rode one when I was looking for my first bike. I very quickly turned that around and headed back to the dealer. Was not comfortable on that thing at all
Personally I would recommend the Suzuki dl650 v strom, even the older generations. They are economical, good for tall people, and have plenty power for the average rider. And since sv650 parts are mostly identical to the dl650 there a ton of cheap parts+aftermarket parts.
Sorry but I can't agree with a lot that you say, if your going g to tour you want an adventure bike, touring gear and if your anywhere in Europe there is plenty of fuel stations it's not a third world continent ! The only things you need to plan are your overnight stays, and yes it's not cheap but what holiday is ! We just did 2700 miles round Europe in air b+b's for two weeks- €580 fuel was €280 but the food and wine/beer was around €1000 ! 🤣🤣🤣 so foe three of us leaving the UK for two weeks it was less than €2000 each ! My wife and I spent a lot more than that in Ireland foe a week 🤣
Thanks for watching! I see what you're saying, and I agree that an Adventure bike would be the best option. However, they can be quite pricey! So for the financial aspect, I think that everyone has a different perspective depending on their situation. It's true though, holidays are never cheap, haha! 2700 miles sounds like an awesome trip! Thanks for sharing your story, and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
I found it harder on the core muscles, not the back itself, just the muscles. they get the same workout for 1/2 an hour twice a day, every day... but 6 hours of using the hips, abs and lower back muscles to control the amount of lean in and turn the bike, that takes its toll (and brings back the abs that disappeared 15 years ago... so who's actually complaining?) Maintenance checks need to be done on ANY vehicle about to embark on a long trip. so that doesn't change anything. It's just the weather and how long you can handle riding compared to driving. 6 hours a day riding is enough for me, but 10 hours in a car is nothing... So overnight stops would be about 1/2 the distance apart than if I was in a car. (I think I would throw some clean clothes on a Courier to be waiting for me at the other end, and do the same for the trip home (with the dirty laundry lol)
Thanks for sharing your experience! You're definitely right, for me, it’s mostly my lower back that takes a hit. The idea of throwing clothes on a courier is brilliant! Thanks for your comment and watching my video!
It only costs around $1200 to ship a motorcycle from Texas to Norway, and round trip airfare is around $600 bought months ahead of time. That's not bad. Hotels aren't cheap, and camping is limited from my research, though. It still would cost around $5k round trip plus hotel, food for a week.
Hey, thanks for the honest feedback! I totally get it, the auto-generated voices aren’t the best. I'm currently working on new videos where I’ll be doing the voiceovers myself. I’ll be posting every Monday at 17:30. Check out my last video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-00-SpzH8cbc.html
@@OnlyBikers-TheBestForBikers I know that there are plenty of non-native English YT creators, and I would always watch their content, even with strong L2 influences (accents caused by their native language). I just won't watch autobot narrative.
You’re absolutely right! There are so many beautiful routes in our small continent! I'm currently working on a new video series and uploading new content every week. I also plan to re-do the series covering all of Europe in the future, so be sure to stick around for that! Thanks for your comment and support!
Je mag van geluk spreken dat je geen erge verwondingen hieraan hebt overgehouden (hoop ik) of dat je bent aangereden. Heb zelf een FZ1N en ik ken die bocht heel goed. Dat is als het goed is de bocht van zwaag richting macdonalds van hoorn. Ben blij voor je dat het goed is afgelopen rij veilig 💪🏼❤️
Ik heb er niks aan overgehouden en heb inderdaad heel veel geluk gehad dat beide rijbanen vrij waren. Gelukkig reed er een oplettende automobilist achter me bij de oprit. Die is helemaal achter me aangereden over de vluchtstrook, om zo het verkeer achter me stil te leggen.(zwarte VW T-roc) Die ben ik dus ook eeuwig dankbaar! Bedankt voor je reactie!
Lol, you accelerate too early in a turn and lose traction, that's your fault, not the fault of the weather/nature. The crash was caused by your lack of judgement and applying too much throttle on the on ramp. The conditions have nothing to do with it. It's your reaction and application given the conditions that failed you. Minimal lean angle, lol, no. You gave it too much throttle bud. Stop blaming the weather and start blaming yourself, you will learn much more. Glad you're ok. Hope you're still on two wheels.
Definitely my fault, and I've never claimed otherwise. I was riding on a new set of tires in cold conditions, but on a bike I've been riding for years. I placed too much trust in my tires. I do believe this wouldn't have happened at different temperatures. Nevertheless, it's fully my fault for being ignorant of the road conditions. I'm still on two wheels; it'll take a lot more to get me to quit! Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the opportunity to clear things up.
Nice video, shame about the auto-voiceover! Saved it for future reference. It's great that the ability to do it is available and I understand why it's done, it just grated a bit. There were parts where it certainly wasn't "English" and I'm not sure how "Italian" it was either.
Must see these motorcycles roads in beautiful Croatia it’s close to Canada right better from Slovenia yea I need a plane ✈️ warmer weather chaw bye bye thank you great video and awesome roads 🎶🌿✈️
Thank you very much. I love your videos. I have one comment. It is very difficult to know the route by only stating the route from where the start going to the endpoint; however, if you attach a link to the Google map showing exactly the route that we should be using it would be a very specific and much more helpful.
